What exactly did Notch mean by "too sexist?"
I personally don't play Minecraft as much as I used to, but this statement has always puzzled me.
I can only come to several conclusions.
1 = He concludes because he's male, his portrayal of the female character is automatically sexist.
2 = He defines giving a virtual character breasts sexist.
3 = He's enforcing "the charitable response" in order to avoid a more personal reason.
4 = He doesn't know what constitutes legitimate sexism.
Personally, I think all of these conclusions are ridiculous (merely applying mammary glands to a virtual, female human isn't sexist.) However, they're the only ones I can think of. Any help?
