Switch to turn Political Slogans off in Parental Control

under review

Mojang recently added political propaganda in the form of the slogan of a very controversial Political movement to the splash texts.

It is necessary for parents and for educational institutions who don't want their children to be exposed to political slogans in a game, to have the ability to turn this off.

Also note that in some educational institutions it is strictly forbidden to use products that show political propaganda (a slogan of a political movement is classified as such).

Minecraft already offers Parental Control

Please add an option there to turn political messages off.

(as an better alternative i would suggest to simply keep politics out of the game and remove those splash texts)

    I agree with this. Minecraft is a childrens' game, and one that's used as an educational tool. I have a 9-year-old who likes to play. Not only is political sloganeering (what many would call propaganda--and rightfully so) in educational materials illegal, it's reprehensible and devoid of moral integrity when shoe-horned into view of children. Regardless of your political leanings or opinions, you have no right to step on a parent's toes by trying to teach kids political lessons in which they have no interest or involvement.

    Please no political messages in a game for children, thank you very much.

    I don't understand why those got added in the first place.

    Keep it in.  People who feel the need to shelter their children and pretend that racism doesn't exist anymore can get a simple mod for the launcher to change the splash text.

    Would love to see this gone. Not against blm or anything. I just don't want politics in the game I go to escape from everything else. Simple as that
