wait? how can every player in minecraft be homosexual if they are genderless?

i think you mean Asexuality
(sometimes referred to as nonsexuality),[1][2][3] in its broadest sense, is the lack of sexual attraction to others[4][5][6] or the lack of interest in sex.[6][7] It may also be considered a lack of a sexual orientation.
and that beard......
The tweet was actually about the animals in MC which share features of both male and female and can breed with any other member of their species. Thus making them likely to be hermaphrodites.

In that they are all the same 'gender', so if they are attracted to each other they must be homosexual.

OT: Liking the new 'in my opinion bit'.

Steve, are you purposely letting your facial hair grow out?

If you keep your moustache the same length, but shave the rest, you'd have an awesome turn-of-the-century moustache, like Stephen Fry's character from the last series of Blackadder. :)

Makes sense, even the enderdragon lays an egg, but Steve? has a male name and a beard and used to have deep grunts.

I may be misled by anti-beard propaganda, this is true.

Steve, I completely agree with you. Some the most emotionally investing games I've ever played are about as photo-realistic as Peanuts and Garfield.
