Mewgenics co-creator Edmund McMillen says 'people need to get more creative with their hate' in response to disappointment over controversial cameo meows

Edmund McMillen in his office in 2025.

Mewgenics, the cat-breeding roguelite from Binding of Isaac developer Edmund McMillen and co-creator Tyler Glaiel, has some uncanny meow sounds. That's because they're actually just humans saying "meow," not cats, which is probably for the best given what happens to all the poor kitties in the game. There's a long list of cameo performances from various internet personalities, and some of them have become controversial figures since their inclusion in the game.

As reported by Rock, Paper, Shotgun, Ethan Klein and Hila Klein of h3h3Productions both provide meows, angering some commenters over on ResetEra due to their adamant support of Israel—Hila served in the Israel Defense Force, and Ethan is embroiled in public feuds over the issue. "It's a shame that the game has zionist creators," wrote one person on the forum.
