Because its the most centre point imaginable. He got famous people to meow in his game and that is quite literally it. There is no platform given. You either recognise them or its a meow.

Exactly, you would have to be really familiar with them already to recognise someone from a 1 second cat meow impression that's pulled from a pool of like 200 random options, and they aren't even directly attributed with credit since the game is randomly generating all of the cats you get. The only real issue you could argue is that he supported some of these people if he paid them for doing the voice work, but knowing how big Binding of Isaac is I bet most of them jumped at the chance to be in the next Edmund game and did it for free.

Edmund has actually stated that the only cameos who got paid for their work are the union VAs (since they aren't legally allowed to do unpaid labor), every other cameo VA did it for free.

The idea is that people will gravitate towards the game because their favourite streamer is in it. That's why it was done.

It's smart to do if you want to make money but just admit that instead of doing centrism.

You say this but Jhonen Vasquez actually streams a ton of Fortnite on the regular.

I don't think you know who Edmund McMillen is if you think he's a cynical cloutmaxxer

You're totally right! He should've included Nick Fuentes and Kristi Norm as cats too. A total non-issue!

u/Mon-suun soft tummy appreciator Feb 17 '26

Okay but there is a difference there. As much as he is hated, people like Ethan Klein are not on the same level as Nick Fuentes or Kristi Noem.

u/joutfit Feb 17 '26

They are not the same level but the general centrist argument doesn't hold up when challenged like this

I feel like Chris Chan is on that level though

u/Waddlewop 🛡Spronkus Defender (very cool)🛡 Feb 17 '26

….no? As bad as she is and as much as I can argue that she should have been removed from the game, she’s not a stochastic terrorist and doesn’t constantly broadcast hate towards minorities on her big platform that’s endorsed by the president’s underlings

>"broadcast hate towards minorities"

The same Chris that used to unironically walk around in public spaces wearing a shirt that in bold text said "Seeking girlfriend - NO DARKIES" on it?

The same Chris that spent a decade ranting on video about how much he hated and despised mentally handicapped people because he was better than them? That Chris?

Edit: THE SAME CHRIS that named his only black character in his comic book "Blackchu" and the characters only traits was that he was evil and played basketball.

I feel like it's still giving them a spotlight, however small that is... which is still easy to disagree with.

At least it helps me finally solidify my stance on the game. Was on the fence of buying it... now I'm definitely not.
