While I understand peoples' viewpoints and reasonings for this, I would say that any game that wants to be fully accepting and welcoming should hold back political slogans and platforms. Everyone is welcome to their own views and beliefs, but the inclusion of "splashes related to the fight against discrimination of black, indigenous, and people of color" really doesn't have a place in a game about mining and crafting, particularly when the slogans chosen have caused so much division in our country and much harm in many ways.
I feel unwelcomed now unless I shout my agreement with these divisive slogans, which I cannot, in good conscience, do.
I will always support everyone around me, but I will not support divisive positions based solely on race, creed, sexuality (which really has no place in a game designed for young audiences), or gender. I will always relate to people based solely on the character of that person and their own behaviour... but that specifically (for instance) goes against the "Be anti-racist" splash, since anti-racist philosophy says you are either racist or actively anti-racist.
These splashes should be removed and I, as well as my family and multiple associations I know of, will be ending our time in this game as well as our realm subscriptions and devoting more of our time to communities where we will be welcomed until Mojang decides to take the needed steps to show us we are still welcome here.
