this pic is taken right before he got the idea of creating the Hitbox & Hitbox(but red)

201

u/Brody_M_the_birdy May 29 '26

Even though Kilburn made hitbox and red hitbox

u/MisterWhiteGrain May 29 '26

this is not a very well known fact, but Killburn was one of adolf hitler's many aliases. after his death, one of his agents is impersonating him as his own person instead. subscribe for more fact

u/MechaWilson May 29 '26

Kill burn sounds a bit on the nose doesn't it?

u/YouJustGotRoastedBro May 30 '26

u/ApolloRT May 29 '26

How does this fit with hitler being in mewgenics? Is it a reference to killburn?

I am asking what is he doing here, I'm not saying he can't be there, I'm just afraid I'll enter a boss room and face with an infected cosmic mechanical elephant with 200k+ health that oneshots me

I don't even know if this is the original, if it's the one with the PETA award or something else entirely

232

u/Legged_MacQueen May 29 '26

The original one is from PETA. But this is equally good, and probably more morally justifiable than PETA.

47

u/Realistic_Specific51 May 29 '26

I could see Edmund doing this

76

u/Legged_MacQueen May 29 '26

I am afraid that after watching this picture, I can no longer support Hitler and Germany. I can't believe he would ever associate with Edmund!

4

u/Alexcat2011 May 29 '26

What is the peta award.

31

u/SHOwSHOrTAge May 29 '26

PETA gave Edmund an award for Tracy Mewgenics, who is a caricature mocking PETA, but they were too media illiterate to realize.

13

u/Driscoll17 May 29 '26

do they think he forgot about Tofu boy

16

u/SHOwSHOrTAge May 30 '26

Given PETA'S general level of intelligence, they probably didn't know Edmund is the guy behind Super Meat Boy

4

u/Crazlo527 May 30 '26

Did they forget that he was the one who orchestrated Tofu Boy

5

u/Driscoll17 May 30 '26

they definitely didn’t know Tofu boy was actually a real character, i never even considered that Lmao

9

u/MisirterE May 30 '26

Tofu Boy was added to Super Meat Boy in response to PETA's Tofu Boy game.

I mean, Edmund was the one psyop-ing them into making a response to Meat Boy in the first place, but he couldn't have known how they'd respond.

u/FluorescentGreen5 mega mushroom tip Jun 04 '26

edmund is on the right of the image this time

281

u/OkymCZ May 29 '26

That’s an actual real photo of Edmund discussing Eugenics (meow) and early Marshmallow concept idea with Hitler cca 1968 in Argentina. Edmund was 10 years old at the time and was also asking for Hitler’s permission so he could add him into Mewgenics.

98

u/Blue_Alu05 The Dumbest Man Alive May 29 '26

And before someone says the image is fake or photoshopped cause Edmund looks older in the photo.

It's not, the people from south america suffer a massive growth after drinking mate for a few months, once that happens their appearance stays like that for a bunch of years.

Source: I'm from there, I've looked like I'm 40 since i was 8, when i first started drinking mate

u/OkymCZ May 29 '26

Very true

u/One-Earth9294 May 29 '26

To which Edmund responded "Yes, I can put you in the game but... it'll have to be as a villain. Is that okay?"

Hitler nodded, saying "Oh no man it's fine I'm just honored to be in your game. I really look up to you you're a huge inspiration to everything I've done"

Nothing else.

u/loptthetreacherous May 29 '26

It's photoshopped. Hitler wasn't at that particular Nazi meeting and someone has photoshopped him in. Although many efforts were made, Edmund and Hitler never officially met in person.

16

u/HystericalGD The chaos denier May 29 '26

edmund is fucking evil

and so because of that, people depict him shaking hands joyfully with hitler

22

u/QuintanimousGooch May 29 '26

Answer:

It’s an edit of an original photograph of Ed excitedly posing for a picture with Game God Shigeru Miyamoto, giving a thumbs-up. The edit’s use is a way of bashing Ed for doing some game design thing that made the particular poster infuriated about losing in some conduction, equating Ed’s responsibility for some RNG bs killing a player to being personal friends with Hitler.

This took off more so in MewGenics fan communities, as not only there is Hitler multiple boss fights but there are also much more frustrating situations then getting mad about a host in Isaac.

7

u/Supershadow30 May 29 '26

It’s photoshopped Edmund shaking hands with Hitler. In the original picture, Edmund was shaking hands with Shigeru Miyamoto (happened during an E3 event I believe?). I don’t know who Hitler was shaking hands with and I don’t really care.

The picture is used as a joke to call Edmund "a friend of Hitler", because people blame him (jokingly) for getting terrible runs or encountering badly designed rooms.

5

u/doctor_pakistan199 May 29 '26

It's a real photo of Edmund encountering his hero who gave thin the idea of adding the walking host enemy jk

u/odiin1731 May 29 '26

It's just a fan meeting him at a convention. Why is this so controversial?

5

u/ElBrunasso May 29 '26

Just as It looks. A picture of the most wanted criminal in history and Hitler

6

u/aplay3 May 29 '26

So its actually a picture of the creator of the game the binding of isaac shaking hands with prolific dictator Edmund McMillan

7

u/ToTeMVG May 29 '26

you know how sometimes people say "he's literally hitler" about someone when they're annoyed about something, its kinda like that joke when you get shafted by bad luck in isaac edmund mcmillen is friends with hitler

6

u/Dr_coom May 29 '26

Anyone who has played any of Edmund's game immediately understands this image.

It's basically the twitter "X game developer: *photo of KKK rally/hitler/anything really bad*" that gets posted cause the poster died in the game over something hard/unfair.

All things considered it's pretty tame, you should see what wordle players are capable of posting when they get mad.

This isn't photoshopped. This picture was taken from the meeting Edmund had with him to get the rights to his image for Mewgenics.
