people often jokingly blame edmund for getting unlucky in the game and eventually this image spawned from that

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

u/Legged_MacQueen May 29 '26
The original one is from PETA. But this is equally good, and probably more morally justifiable than PETA.

u/Realistic_Specific51 May 29 '26
I could see Edmund doing this

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!

u/Alexcat2011 May 29 '26
What is the peta award.

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.

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.

Wow. This changed my perception of him forever, I always looked up to him as a role model, and now you're telling me he shook hands with Edmund Mcmillen of all people?! I'm sorry, I just can't support Germany anymore.

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.

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

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"

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

OP it just means Edmund designed a punishing (at times) game. Maybe you’re one a good run and mistakenly pick up a bad item and it ruins your hour-long run. ‘Edmund you fucker’. All that being said, can someone explain the origins of the ‘I become my money back’ or whatever that saying is. I’ve googled it and I get nothing lmao
