Godot staff are facing a huge reactionary backlash on Xitter for being "woke" (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

It all started with the unofficial godot discord admin dealing with some chuds and people turning their ire towards the Godot Foundation staff instead.

Since Godot has stubbornly remained on the Xitter nazi bar as a valid space for PR and social media interaction and dared to promote the Wokot hashtag and reiterate their progessiveness, the reactionaries infesting that space are now piling on their socials and harassing everyone they can get their eyes on.

Examples

Anyway, solidarity with the targets of harassment. I hope they finally realize that Xitter is a lost cause.

Update: Godot is being review-bombed

Fortunately the reactionary backlash seems to be having the opposite effect

I didn't know it was because of them supporting LGBTQ+, mostly because they've been doing that for a very long time now and very publicly. I thought most of the backlash stemmed from this;

Wow, now that I have some context, I'm an even bigger fan of Godot than before. Supporting LGBTQ+ rights isn't political. If you're offended because people exist that don't think like you, then yeah, you can fuck right off somewhere else.

I think it’s the term “woke” that people considered political.

Considering game devs are intimately aware of review bombing, I really doubt that it will have much negative effect on their userbase. I guess the next Alex Jones game wont use godot.

more attention for a cool floss game engine, I don't see this as too bad

[–] stringere@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Why do we need a game engine just for one dance or dental hygiene activity. Seems oddly specific to two very different tasks.

feature creep
