    I am still waiting for:
    - I worked for steve, he is a sociopath.
    - Steve is done.
    - Steve is finally done.
    - Steve's career is over.
    - Steve's new alligations are insane.
    - Steve just destroyed his career.
    - Steve is desperately trying to hide this.
    - Steve finally responded.

    We must defend Steve..
    - Items shrink when dropped, when you drop a dirt block, it becomes incredibly small to actual blocks. Placing it down makes it normal size. This may even be a feat for steve.
    - Based on thoughtless allegations, not confirmed at all. It is likely black steve just walked into a hole and killed himself since npcs were dumb back then
    -Probably steve messing around, since this happens in every world.
    -your honor you wasnt even there (war crime allegations and abuse allegations)
    -It is likely he washes those clothes and wears replicas, since others dont seem to be disgusted by him.

We only give discounts because he scares us, and the only reason we don't escape or kill him is because he supplies us with drugs that made us think it was an amazing place. He also constantly kills creatures that didn't even care about him, like the ender dragon

    First of all it's been confirmed 1 block = 1 cubic meter so Steve isn't the problem, the carrots are as they're absolutely massive
    Second of all Black Steve was added before Minecraft's official release, so it's non-canon in the Minecraft lore
    Third of all time since last death actually counts the time since Steve last spawned, not since he last died, and when making a world that's the first time he spawns there
    Fourh of all Minecraft has no real government, only independend villages and outposts, meaning there are no federal laws to be broken
    Fifth of all the warcrimes are the player's fault, not Steve's fault, the player makes Steve do it, plus as stated before there are no federal laws in Minecraft and henceforth there isn't a Geneva Convention either, i won't be counting any other crime related accusations after this for this reason
    Sixth of all the only way to leave the End alive is killing the ender dragon, he did it out of necessity after entering the End
    Seventh of all clothes depend on the skin chosen by the player, so shame on the player for not letting Steve change clothes
    Eighth of all wether Steve is rich or not depends again on the player and world, so he's not always rich, plus due to gold and diamonds being way easier to find in Minecraft than IRL they have way less value, piglins literally value a gold bar to be worth as much as sting

    Tbf, we all chop down trees, trap villagers, use explosives, are cruel to animals, commit war crimes and drive the Ender Dragon race to extinction. That makes us all Criminals
