Minecraft Fans Are Now Making Propaganda And Petitions To Stop The Mob Vote

thegamer.com:

Minecraft fans will be well aware that this year's mob vote hasn't gone down well as mob votes in the past. Being made to choose between a Penguin, a Crab, and an Armadillo that drops an item that lets you create Wolf armor seems to have broken the community. They've been up in arms ever since the announcement of the mob vote last week, but things escalated greatly over the weekend, as fans are now creating petitions and Soviet-era propaganda in an effort to stop the mob vote entirely.

We'll start with the propaganda, as Minecraft fans have been creating a range of posters and sharing them all over social media, most of them calling Mojang lazy and asking fellow players to rise up alongside them (thanks IGN). The posters are all extremely revolutionary in nature, and all of them are calling on a mob vote boycott in an attempt to get all three of this year's mobs added to the game instead of just one.

In addition to that, a petition protesting the mob vote was set up on Change.org just a few days ago, but it's already managed to amass over 250,000 signatures at the time of writing, and looks well on its way to hitting its 300,000 signature target. To put this number into perspective, a petition for the UK government to call a General Election and a petition for the protection of hedgehogs don't have enough signatures than the Minecraft petition combined. That's the power of Minecraft fans that Mojang is dealing with right now.

Of course, we won't see the UK government debating the pros and cons of a Minecraft mob vote any time soon, but petitions like this are one of the few ways that fans of a certain game can potentially have their voices heard.
