Edmund McMillen on assembling Mewgenics' meow cameo list: "the inclusion of people with clashing ideologies felt appropriate" - Rock Paper Shotgun

Mewgenics launched to strong early sales, but drew criticism over its voice cameo list featuring internet personalities with controversial histories. Developer Edmund McMillen said he intentionally included people across the ideological spectrum—balancing Ethan and Hila Klein's pro-Israel views against iDubbbz and Anisa's pro-Palestine stances—to reflect internet culture during development. McMillen noted players can discard unwanted cat voices in-game, and future mod support may let players customize meows further.
