Close your eyes and imagine that you're a creeper in your own minecraft world (Actually, please don't, or if you do, open them in a second. I don't want to render the rest of this post worthless ).
Since you don't really like going out during the day because of sunburn possibilities and your local supermarket is out of SPF 30, the only kind you use, you don't notice the new visitor in your little ecosystem.
When the sun starts setting, you step out to appreciate its beauty, and you notice that most of the trees that were there at sunrise are now missing. What's up with that? Further, a small wooden home has been built a short distance away. Damn government and its eminent domain!
Near the house, you see a guy moving around. You squint: It isn't your friend Spidoug or Skeletrent or even Zombob .
You gasp and immediately start frowning. You'd better go have a word with him about property rights!
You walk over, and he pulls out a sword. He takes a hack at you and you're hurt.
Thinking quickly of your beautiful family and your beautiful forest, and of course, Creepus (Sorry, failed Jesus reference), you decide that he has to die. Unfortunately, you only have one defense...
SSSSSSSSSssssssssSSSSSSS... BOOM!!!!
So, are creepers really evil? In my humble opinion, they're nothing of the sort. Cheers, and let's hear your opinions on the matter!

Prob'ly an inter dimensional rip between the Nether and the Overworld.
Or a creeper comes out at night, sees all those annoying small trees that cover the sky and make himself lost, gone. Then he sees the wonderful and cozy cottage you've made! He walks over to tell you how cool it is, however the second he sees you he gets scared. This is proven by his sad face. He gets scared because you are holding something in your hand, and could easily hurt him. He cautiously walks up and then a sudden movement scares him a tad too much. His SSsssSSSS sound, is really saying he's "SSorry" about what he's going to do, and he can't help it. He's dying, and he only meant to congratulate you, not ruin your life's work.
This is only My 2 cents though. Nice thread

I love Blizzard, but god help me, WoW is a giant money engine that uses human souls as fuel.
Even if they're not evil, Creepers don't seem to care about the environment at all! Beautiful forests, expansive deserts, great looming mountains...And a Creeper doesn't give a second thought about the blocks it permanently destroys, or the landscape it mars whenever it detonates in order to settle a petty dispute with a couple of humans. If they really wanted to get rid of the blemishes to the land added by humans, then they should at least have the decency to pinpoint and target individual buildings rather then explode randomly!
Let's think this over a bit. When I was showing my mom how to play this, a creeper just randomly exploded behind her while I was showing her the inventory menu. From this, I can ascertain that they don't care what you're currently doing, the just want to blow you up for some reason. Also, Why do they try to be sneaky about it? This would suggest that they are somewhat afraid of the player. Also, since they have no arms, how do they do anything besides walking, jumping around, hissing, and exploding? Wouldn't they need to eat or something? Also, this is obvious, but when a creeper explodes, it leaves no traces of its body, only a crater.
Perhaps the creepers actually live in packs and the "hunter" creepers explode to catch prey for the other creepers to feast upon? It seems a little messed up but it could be a possibility. This could also be why we don't see cute little baby creepers and mother creepers asploding upon our faces.
So, if my theory is correct, then creepers are not evil. They are merely hunting for food to feed their pack.

WOAH, WAIT. Our eyes take pictures? Please tell me I can recover these pictures from another person.
You have to stick a thumb drive up their nose, drag and drop the pictures onto it, and then load them through your ear.
The reasons creepers explode is because their Inner-love can't be released, seeing they have no arms and cannot give hugs, so they run towards the player, trying to express their love. It becomes to overwhelming and they explode.
Creepers just want hugs but when they get to you they realise they have no arms to hug you with so they explode from sadness.
Or something like that.
Sig'd lol.
Um personally I find Creepers adorable. Like, I wanna hug them without blowing my face off. I don't think they're "evil."
Notch said that Creepers were a weird way or making pigs... so maybe a pig got really lonely and turned into a crunchy-
leafy-green-walking-TNT-monster that had no friends so stalked you and wanted a hug? Thus making helifreak's theory possible, that "a crunchy-
leafy-green-walking-TNT-monster that had no friends so stalked you and wanted a hug, but when they get to you they realise they have no arms to hug you with so they explode from sadness."

If creepers aren't evil, than Zombies are just door to door salesmen

They're not evil... They are defending there territory the only way they know how
1. I gotta eat :tongue.gif:
2. Creepers desecrate the land with their explosions. I try to repair it, and I have made some pretty amazing buildings that compliment the land IMO.
3. I share the land with the animals. -plays TGO-
4. How is it raining while it's sunny outside o_O
5. ?????
6. Profit.
7. Yes, I have to critique everything like this.
8. Hug??? :biggrin.gif:
I always thought it would be cool to tame creepers and make a creeper army. Like...feed them TNT and then they follow you around. Or I think it would be cool to make alliances with certain races, only one at a time though or you could walk around the blocky world and not lose a single heart.

Yeah, waaayyyy back in indev times, people said that creepers just wanted hugs, but then they realised they had no arms and then exploded in anger.
In my opinion, creepers hate players, as they kill all of their friends. Haven't you ever noticed that mobs don't fight unless another harms them.

I've been spending WAY too much time on The Art of Trolling.
Thank you.
A defense attorney must defend criminals from having the system abused against them.
I feel creepers deserve the same treatment.
This is only My 2 cents though. Nice thread
Whoever made this deserves an internet

That's a good point. I still prefer my family/territorial defense theorem, but that sounds good too.
From feedback so far, it seems that creepers aren't truly evil; they're just Average Joes looking to live a normal life.
Sig'd lol.
