She is not any of those, she is an extreme feminist who has taken offence to the fact that the starting skin on your Minecraft character is a male. She interpreted this as a sign of Notch being anti-women

Good one! +1

A retort from Evil_Notch........because the real one is too classy of a gent to
respond to someone who obviously doesn't understand the game.

Dear Cassidy Boon,

I am always interest in hearing from fans...

You may not know that I created the game Minecraft to encourage creativity, engineering, equality, gender sensitivity, diversity, conservation of resources, and thoughtfulness. This game allows you to be Male, Female or someone of your own design.

Using skins, you can change who you are to match your desired gender, profession, and match how you see yourself in the real world. I would recommend you play sometime to learn more about the game.

Yes, Minecraft has been extremely successful. However, I would have to counter than Minecraft is not a misogynist environment. On the contrary, looking at the facts that I mentioned before regarding skins and adding that we are growing the interest in math, science, and technology for young women all over the world.

In reference to the blocks, they are interchangeable, you can create your own environment that conforms right to your needs. Not only can you change the blocks, but you can cultivate the ideas of what different colored bio-engineered grass, trees, or rocks might look like. It is very easy to create blocks that match exactly what you are looking for.

You have options to be male, female, transgender, different nationalities, furry, or whatever you wish. In fact, you could change your gender every day if you wished.

Cassidy, I am not angry at your letter. I am disappointed that you do not fully understand how texture packs, skins, or basic game play work.

Tips his hat,

Evil_Notch

I don't know if you realize how stupid that sounds.

'what you call somebody making fun of feminism by overdoing their methods, I call real feminism because for some reason I want somebody to be this stupid'.

Pegleg98 · Nov 15, 2015

I went ahead and read some of the other articles on the site, and this has got to be satire. I mean, there is no ****ing way that there exists a person that is stupid enough to write articles with titles like:

"Refusing to have sex with a woman is rape #WhenHeSaysNo"
"Mums need to stop breastfeeding their baby boys - it gives them an unfair advantage over girls"
"Pokemon is homophobic - The attract move only works on the opposite gender"
"9/11 was bad, But so is catcalling - Why aren't we talking about that today?"

On top of all this, the website is full of fake news. From Elvis being discovered to holographic iPhones and mermaids. This website is nothing but a satire of clickbait sites. However if the internet has tought me one thing, there are real people on this planet who would agree with these sorts of things.

Cow I hope you realize this is all satire

Dear people of Brawl,

I am here before you today to share with you quite possible the most stupid thing ever said by anyone in the history of earth. This letter was written to Notch by an American "feminist" called Cassidy Boon. This same woman sued someone for saving her life, said that vegemite is racist because it's black and thought New Zealand was Narnia. Please enjoy

My Open Letter To Notch: Why Minecraft Is Sexist And Needs To Be Banned

CASSIDY BOON NOVEMBER 2, 2015

Hi Notch – can I call you Markus Persson or are you too high and mighty for that now? I know you’re busy throwing fancy LA parties with your billions and all, but maybe you can find it in you to lend your ear to a 20-year old feminist who works as a humble barista for a few minutes. Or is that too much to ask of someone who recently sold his company to Microsoft? Anyways, there’s something you need to know…

It must feel awful nice – awful nice to have gone from an overweight, socially awkward nobody to a billionaire in like 5 years for creating ONE game. Now you get to reap the fruits of all those sweaty, Cheeto-filled coding sessions and enjoy the good life in the American Rivera. However, you need to know now…you need to know that your success is built on something disgusting, something demeaning and something that hurts millions of people everywhere. It’s time you knew what your blocky empire is built upon and I must say I’m disgusted – both at what it’s built on and by the fact that more people aren’t calling you out on this.Minecraft is incredibly sexist. There, I said it. I don’t think you’re surprised either, because you KNOW deep down, and have from the very moment you sat down at the computer that Minecraft was going to be a game that excludes half of the population. Maybe you’ve tried to suppress this fact, or maybe you’ve tried to tell yourself that you didn’t do it deliberately, or maybe, as I suspect is reality, you simply don’t care. Let me tell you exactly how Minecraft is misogynist.

Minecraft does, from the outset, strive to appeal to traditional masculinity. The simple act of building is a millennia old gender-coded act that has caused men since the beginning of time to take it upon themselves to build buildings and other stuff. Historically, women who’ve been eager to build their own Basilicas, Pyramids or Big Bens have been told that building is “a man’s domain”, that they’re too delicate to get their hands dirty with brick and mortar. Minecraft perpetuates that Patriarchal stereotype, by making building stuff the central theme of the game, you’re making women feel inadequate. Notch, you’re excluding women who have been told their entire lives that they aren’t allowed to build stuff! How do you not see this?

Also, the aesthetics of the game are very repulsive to women and this was clearly a conscious decision so as to scare women away from the game. There’s absolutely zero definition, pretty backdrops or nice clothing in the game – it’s all pixelated, gritty ugly sprites running around in an ugly, masculine world. Markus, did you really think blocks would appeal to women? No, of course you didn’t and that’s exactly why you went with them, it’s all part of your effort to turn women away at the door and keep women from experiencing the comradery that male gamers have felt for decades. The square itself is often associated with masculinity while more rounder shapes are linked with femininity. I see no rounded corners AT ALL and nothing that appeals to women in anyway. Notch, you really went all out in keeping gaming a Boys club only with this game, you’ve actually put zero effort into making women and queer individuals feel welcome and accepted in the community.

Also, how do you expect any woman to be able to identify with and feel comfortable with a game in which the default character is a blockheaded male? There is no option to be a female or any gender and this is of course deepy problematic. In order to enjoy a game, one needs to feel like one is welcome to play it, or at the very least, feel like you can recognise yourself within the game. Where are the fierce, sassy female characters that can kick but while at the same time wearing a pretty, flowing dress? That’s right – NOWHERE – and you made sure of that Markus! Seeing the brutish nature of the game without even an infusion of something that could appeal to women is deeply triggering to most female gamers.

I am not only angry with you Notch – I am hurt too. Hurt that you have created an experience that could have been very tolerant and open to everyone, but purposelly excluded half of the population. You don’t get to do this. You don’t get to set female gamers back 30 years. Minecraft needs to go, like, I am serious. Minecraft needs to be banned before it hurts more women. I know a lot of anti-feminists will get angry at this because their precious male privileged game is going to be taken away from them – but guess what – I DON’T CARE. This has gone far enough as it is!

So everyone, please help me spread the word! Tweet under #Misogycraft and make sure this letter reaches Notch! Together, we can help bring Minecraft down!

Let me know what you think about this

(Reaction to letter) The game is meant for building... How can one connect building with man. That's like saying video games are only for guys.(They are for both.)

Phanta · Nov 19, 2015

Just so you guys know, this "open letter" is purely satirical. There is no Cassidy Boon.

I've said that like 3 times now (after falling for it myself tbh) and nobody cares apparently.

I love this entertainment, especially how this comedian uses the fact that people don't really know what feminism means, and makes up this character, that thinks she's a feminist while being the exactly opposite

The funniest thing about it is that there are feminists who both agree with her AND have said and done stupider things.
