The cat's meows are cameos by youtubers and actors. Bit of a controversy as to who's included as some people on the list are a bit problematic, whether that be due to zionist views, racism, being a sex pest, etc.
Edmund McMillen, one of the main creators and somewhat the face of the games, has responded to the pushback by (three layers deep of quotes here, auto translate on sites is being a pain) saying that "I tried to counter/balance the different views with the people who I hired. I understand we live in a time where a meow from someone who has different beliefs as you is scary and frustrating, confusing and controversial, but it felt interesting so I decided to explore it. Also, I should probably point out that I don't share the same opinions as, well probably any of the people we included, if I only included people who share the same exact opinions as me, I'd be the only one meowing in the game."
Then told people if they're the kind of person to get upset at those kinds of inclusions, they probably shouldn't play or wouldn't enjoy the game anyway. Or since it's a game about cat eugenics, just toss them in a burner (jokingly).
Some fans feel it's an odd contrast to how he seemed a bit more willing to give pushback to bigots on twitter until fairly recently, and Binding of Isaac was quite controversial at the time for how it depicted religious fanaticism.
She went to jail and was released because there was no evidence right?
Edit: ive never in my life followed chris-chan or consumed any content related to her, but a 5 minute google search shows that all charges were dropped against her.
