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

    My wife uses the term mostly to complain about the shows on Amazon or Netflix. What she means when she says it is a combination of several things. The more boxes you can check the more ‘woke’ it is.

    1. Female protagonists regularly defeating much larger males in hand-to-hand combat.
    2. You can predict early on who is going to be the surprise villain and who will turn out to be the good guy. The villain will be the white male and the good guy will be someone who isn’t a white male.
    3. The white males are presented as stupid, cowardly, and evil but the women and people of color are noble, smart, and strong.
    4. In business settings women and people of color are the ones in charge or in power.

    She feels these shows are presenting a world view that doesn’t correspond to her observed experience, and a large part of what she means is she likes her white male husband and thinks it’s unrealistic to depict all white men as evil cowardly buffoons. I find her complaints tiresome, but it does feel nice that she wants to defend me even if these shows have nothing to do with me.

    Personally, I understand media representation is important. And I understand that it’s more normal for young people today to expect that than it was in the 80’s when I was a teen. Though it often seems to make a today’s shows more trite and predictable.
