He's saying they should work on the engine instead of pandering. I feel like that's a reasonable request, especially from a backer
Seriously do you guys read what you're writing after you write it? Is there no moment of introspection where you go "Huh, so they're helping a minority group that is currently being attacked by powerful members of our society... by being inclusive. I wonder if that is a net good, and that helping people under attack is a sign of strength and not 'pandering'?" or do you skip to "People I don't like are openly accepted by others, and their acceptance is abhorrent to my backing of their" (checks notes) "video game engine. I must rage at this horrible injustice!"
The sheer volume of queer people who've made the games you play would cause you to froth at the mouth. Those same queer people can't even be out anymore without being shot at a gay bar by some fanatic, or walk down the street and not get assaulted. The humanitarian actions of a company that accepts donations is not reliant on checking with each backer to ask if they're okay helping people. Fuck them if they aren't.
I think you should take a look in the mirror and think, really think, about if a company helping people is in any way abhorrent to you, and what that says about you. Because I know that you know someone impacted by the opposite of that help, and you know their lives improve every time someone who isn't queer, or a visible minority, or a woman, steps out and says "No, fuck this, we're helping these people."
You can be that person.
They're a game engine, not ABDL or whatever. Why would anyone listen to game engine devs on political matters?
(Quick edit because I can't believe I have to say this: If you think people saying other people are allowed to be gay is 'political' you seriously, seriously need to reevaluate your beliefs.)
I don't know, why are you whiny babies talking about it? Look at the topic of this fucking post. It's about a Microsoft app that's malware.
Yet.. what's this? The people whining about people being helped brought it up, unwarranted, and inserted into discussion. So my answer is to ask your self.
Dude I think they’re just humans trying to be nice to other humans.
