Add the Iceologer, despite it losing the vote

Though the Glow Squid beat the Iceologer in the mob vote of 2020, a good number of people have...well...problems with it. Though I think the Glow Squid is a semi-fine mob, a good 47% of voters wanted the Iceologer, which is a pretty close call, and considering that 47% is about 350,000 real-life people who voted for the Iceologer, I think we should give them their chance. The Iceologer looks like it has some pretty sick attacks, but considering it didn't win, it should probably be pushed back to 1.18 or 1.19. Still a very unique mob though, and I really hope it can see the light of day sometime soon.

    YES though it lost, it would have been amazing to still see this mob in the game because it fits in so perfectly with the Caves&Cliffs update and it would be another mob to possibly participate in raids(maybe in cold biomes and places over y=160).

    In a recent "AskMojang" episode, even one of the developers said that the losing mob & biome votes since 2018 would come eventually when it fits with a particular future update. But I just can't see there being another update anytime soon where the iceologer would fit in. It fits with 1.17 the most, just like Alchemist33352 said on this post. It seemed like most of the developers were hoping for the iceologer to win anyways, and yet a useless mob won. It would make a lot more people happy if they just added it with this update anyways. There would also be a lot less hate in the community that boiled within those weeks. Many people were afraid the iceologer would be another phantom, but it just has to be developed right. It doesn't even fly. That would be a real nice thing from the developers to the community.

    Don't even get us started with the possibility of there being Dream stan Alt accounts just to get extra votes when Minecon's voting poll began. I think the Iceologer making an appearance as a "voting Dishonesty Penalty" would be the perfect, especially for being a mob for the mountains, and If developed right won't be as painful as the phantom.

    If we added losing mobs there would be no point to a vote, and it would set a bad precedent for future votes.

    While it may sound like a bad Idea for few to add the Iceologer anyway, again, I'd like to see this being done as a reasonable "voting penalty", adding a mob that failed a rigged vote. If the votes are Rigged to be something the community doesn't want by certain people such as dream or other youtubers, the mobs should be added anyway in order to remove all that toxicity and to settle down the huge community that is at war with a public figure.

    Also why has no one acknowledged the possibility that maybe it wasn't just glow squid voters that made alternate accounts? Or the fact that multiple other youtubers influenced their fans in the same way for the iceologer? No, of course no one acknowledges this because the glow squid won and people wanted someone to blame, while never once considering that maybe people were scared to vote for the iceologer because they didn't want it to turn out like the phantom did, or because they thought it would actually glow, or because they just liked the mob.

    If you need someone to blame, blame mojang for lying to us that the squid would glow. But we don't need someone to blame. The glow squid won and the iceologer will likely never be added because that would undermine the current voting system.

     

    I would just like everyone to answer this one question. If a losing mob is added to the game, what is the point of holding a vote?

    There is no reason not to add the lost mobs to the game.

    The iceologer would’ve been really cool in raids.

    The glow squid is the most useless mob, unless if you want some extra decoration.
