I'm tired of people telling others on blogs that "this isn't related to minecraft" and how "you can't write that, it's not related". You know what? Yes, we can write about this stuff. Look at the rules for unacceptable blogs:

7.2.3Unacceptable Blogs

The following is a list of the content that are no longer considered blogs for the Blog section of Planet Minecraft and instead belong in the Planet Minecraft forums.
  • Advertisements: Blogs solely to advertise a server, other submissions, youtube channels, or forum threads are considered Spam. Creating blog posts to advertise another member or their submissions are also not allowed as blogs and should be posted in the forums instead.

  • Spam/Nonsense/Random: The making of a blog by the slamming of the keyboard, the tying of a single/few characters, not-words, sentences that make no sense, follow any order or a character(s) pressed to reach the minimum limit is considered spam. These types of blogs require minimal effort and are, therefore, not blogs which are written pieces of content that provide constructive feedback to the community.

  • Subscriber/Introduction Blogs: These submissions do not provide any useful content to the community. There is a section in the forums for introductions and subscriber blogs do not provide something additional to the work that was already provided.

  • Recruitment/Teams/Groups: Recruitment, Teams, and Groups are not allowed within the blog section, there is an area of the forums specifically dedicated to this.

  • Contests: There is a section of the forums dedicated to player-created contests.

  • Shops&Requests: There are two sections of the forums dedicated to this. One being for members requesting stuff to be created and one for members to take requests.

  • Skin Series: These are only re-advertisements of previous skins created. These do not belong in blogs. Post them in the Skinning section of the forums.

  • Blacklist/Complaints: Creating lists or blogs to attack, harass, or demean users, organizations or groups will not be tolerated and will result in a ban. Making a blog about a Moderator's removal or decision will also not be tolerated and will result in a removal of the submission. If you have a problem, contact the Moderator in question or in general to bring up questions and/or concerns you may have. You can find the full team here.

  • Specials and Announcements: Reaching any form of milestone such as a certain number of subscribers, time since registration with the site, etc. is not a reason to create a blog. Planet Minecraft is not a social media application and that sort of information should be kept in the "About Me" section of your profile.

   There is nothing there that says you can't state opinions about topics or problems. This is a creative site, that can be for everybody. It doesn't matter if it's unrelated fan fiction, art, articles, reviews, etc. Just because you don't like it's very presence on the landscape of the internet doesn't mean others can't enjoy it.

I totally agree, like in my creepypasta story I made, there was this one guy who commented this. "This isn't a blog. Google it.". I was like "People can blog about what they want, as long as it is not in the rules, nothing is wrong with it!".
