Removal of first joke

I think that the first joke in the D for Dwarf section ought to be removed. It feels forced (see "blocky-limbed") and out of character for the wiki, and more importantly, i worry that it may be seen as promoting that which it references, making the Wiki look bad for promoting a game that cannot be played ethically and is poorly maintained by one of the worst, most anti-competitive and monopolistic companies in the world.

Alright, I wasn't gonna say anything at first, but I noticed you're really on this. I think you're putting a little more emphasis on these jokes than you really need to. Also, you're using the word "promoting", which is a strong word in this case. I mean, not really. That's not much "promoting", we're basically just making silly tongue-in-cheek references to pre-existing products. Also, I think the entirety of Earth and its grandmother knows about the existence of Minecraft anyway... I'm not exactly a fan of that company myself, but you're making it sound like more than what this really is. -- Zippy (talk) 12:12, 27 July 2022 (UTC)

I get that it's a joke, and that many people already know what Minecraft is, but what i'm mostly concerned about is that it's going to hurt the reputation of the Wiki and make it seem like it supports immorality. However, even assuming that it doesn't, i think that just the fact that it feels forced and out of character for the wiki alone is criteria enough to remove it.
