In line with what I understand from your comment - I'm thinking there might be unintended irony with the words Notch chose for his statement.  Specifically choice of the word 'narrative'.  That word is often used nowadays to negatively characterize a certain idea and is often synonymous with 'propaganda'.  Far removed from its actual definition.  If that word is overused however just as "racism" and "sexism" are, the meaning or weight of that word too can slide back into irrelevance or meaninglessness from the audience perspective.
