I am not outing their sexual orientation here but yes, that is partially implied, although I am not certain. this is one of the many disputable theories of the origin of minecraft. in fact, I have heard an even wilder theory that minecraft is merely a game, and Notch and Jeb are just programmers. although this theory seems so unlikely, it is one of the more commonly favoured ideas. but, I choose to disagree with this theory for many reasons, too many to name here. possibly those other theories are correct and mine is not, or perhaps it is the other way around, like the yoga pose "downward facing dog", in which participants face downwards, like a dog. this to many is a very popular yoga pose, reinforcing it's relevance with minecraft, the brainchild, or if you will "child" of celebrated cultural entities, Notch and Jeb.
