Do their textures still look far worse than every single texture the real Minecraft ever had?
@get @SuperDicq Doesn't that kinda defeat the purpose of "muh open source" in the first place?
@get @SuperDicq
>In what way?
In the using "muh ebil closed source Microsoft resources" way. Also, I'm pretty sure this is violating some copyright too.

I initially assumed he was just trolling you, but now I'm wondering if he was telling the truth.
Like... why in the hell do you even know all that?
@Suiseiseki @get @SuperDicq
You don't get the point. The point is, WHY would you even need to do research into this topic in particular? WHO spends that much time talking about pedophiles that they need this accurate information? hhhmmm.....
@Suiseiseki @get @SuperDicq
It makes you look like you have a personal stake in the discussion. I just ignore those topics.

>I personally have a stake in wanting child abuse to end
That's a good position to take. No issue there. But the reality is, your discussions here aren't gonna affect real life. At all.
Take your point on the distinction between predators and pedophiles, and how to focus resources.
By the word "pedophile" most people do include 100% of the people who predate on minors. That's included in their definition of the word. So when they say "focus on pedophiles" they already include 100% of the predators too. So your point, while maybe true (the hell do I know), it's completely pointless. Nobody is "supporting the arrest of only 10%" of predators.
In reality you're arguing with no-one over nothing. You're being uselessly pedantic, and that's coming from someone who can be autistically pedantic about word use too.

Don't know how Mario 64 PC or OpenRCT does things, but Doom and Quake sourceports make you install the original games and extract the resources from them yourself.
Then those people simply don't download the texture pack and use default or some other alternative texture pack. There are tons to choose from. Also png's can't be "closed source" it's an open format so very few people are going to be schizo to the point of being afraid of a folder of images from Minecraft. It's the proprietary code they don't like.
Also as for the texture pack violating copyright, yeah it probably does. Nobody using the texture pack cares lol, worst case scenario Microsoft sends a cease and desist and the download link goes away. It's not made by the Minetest developers, it's just a random texture pack made by some anons.
I personally don't care at all, I've played the Mario 64 pc port, doom and quake sourceports, OpenRCT etc. All of those use copyrighted images and audio on an open source engine, no freetard cares about the art licensing, even foss extremists like Stallman are fine with copyrighted images and audio as long as the code is free.
