MCPE-164490Vexes with empty hand make obscene gesture
When empty-handed, the new Vex model makes a gesture that the community has raised as potentially being interpreted as antisemitic. Similar issues have been raised and resolved in the past. This applies to Java too: MC-257346 Vexes with empty hand make obscene gesture
Repro:
- Set your Bedrock Edition to be 1.19.50.25 Preview to enable the new Vex model (at time of writing)
- Import the attached world and press the button in front of you to spawn an empty-handed Vex
- Set gamemode to Survival to aggro the Vex (/gamemode survival in chat)
- Note the arm when Vex is aggroed (with red skin) and flying toward the player

Fixed In 1.19.60.24 Preview
Reply from [MCPE Mod] Auldrick:
Please do not report when you observe that a bug has been fixed. We normally mark a report as fixed only when Mojang tells us so in a changelog. This is because bugs sometimes don't affect all users, and/or sometimes a partial fix may not fix it for everybody.
On the other hand, definitely do tell us if you find that a bug we reported as fixed in some version is still happening for you in that version. Occasionally Mojang may not have realized that their fix was ineffective for some people, and your comment alerts us to let them know. It's also possible that we marked the wrong bug as fixed.
The attached screenshot looks like this, which I’m not aware of being antisemitic.
