xQc was browsing X during a recent stream when he clicked on a post from the official Minecraft account. The post promoted an educational feature tied to Black History Month and civil rights—a wholesome initiative meant to bring real-world history into the game.
Then he scrolled down.
The replies under the post painted a very different picture. What started as a standard promotional message quickly devolved into chaos as xQc saw what looked like someone whipping a character in Minecraft.
His reaction was immediate. “But why though?” he asked, visibly confused by what he was seeing. The moment perfectly captured the disconnect between official brand messaging and the unfiltered reply sections that follow.
Minecraft appears to have restricted who can reply to the post at some point, likely in response to the kind of content xQc stumbled into. But by then, the damage was done.
This isn’t Minecraft‘s first rodeo with educational content facing public scrutiny. The game regularly releases themed features through its Marketplace on Bedrock Edition, including partnerships for cultural and historical events. These initiatives often walk a fine line between education and entertainment, and opening them up to public comment can backfire spectacularly.
