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;

      From what I’ve read, that person is not officially affiliated with the Godot project. They just moderate an unofficial Discord server that is Godot-related.

            Correct, it was the biggest most known one. Godot kind of pointed towards it with the message “We don’t officially do discord, but here is a big one that is unofficial”. Always felt like this was to not fragment it into 20 discord servers.

            Some people claiming that it was “practically the official one” are bending the truth to fit a narrative to say the least.

        The unofficial server yet lots of people don’t know that because they were official until they suddenly weren’t but then lots of these same mods are mods on the actual official discord.

      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.
