Godot

Woke is interestingly becoming a word that can easily trigger and be used to troll conservatives.

My favourite thing is asking them to define woke.

Open source software is the wokest shit possible… It’s pretty much digital communism run by the gayest furries you’ll ever meet.

Let the fascist idiots stay with predatory tech like Unity. Fuck 'em all. Conservatives make shit games; they can stick with shit middleware.

It's actually really funny to see review bomb attempts on a non-profit FOSS project. No shareholders to appease, no profits to they need to protect, just a community of people contributing to the tool they use.

Finally a place I can share my cold takes. (I'm not on Twitter, I won't discuss this on Reddit either.)

1. The community manager had a meltdown and blocking everyone was a power trip and was wrong.

2. Godot's tweet was wrong, because it used the word "woke" which immediately drives any conversation into the gutter. Doesn't matter if you're on the right or left, as soon as you say the word "woke" you have ruined the conversation.

3. It is good that Godot explicitly supports LGBT+ people. They should be welcome. The community CoC should make this explicit, and it does. A tweet to reaffirm this is fine, a cringe joke born from the dredges of Twitter is less fine.

4. Godot's "revenge forks" are amusing and will not go anywhere. Someone might collect some donations before grifting into the night though.

5. None of this has any effect on Godot's technical suitability for creating a game.

Nice to see some figures on the change in support levels. I was donating €5 a month and I've bumped it up to €50 for the next few months.

I get the impression that a lot of the people complaining on twitter are not even gamedevs and don't know what Godot is, it's just the reactionary pile-on du jour.

Twitter blows ass and if they hate you you're probably right.

Not guaranteed. But a solid bet.

I long for the days when people didn't call any concept they disagreed with "political."

It was just a tweet... And then they say that the "wokes" are the hypersensitive snowflakes?

Time for Godot to get off Twitter.

I feel like it's important to note that eating, breathing, and having a fun time with friends are all very LGBTQ+ activities! #woke

I stand in solidarity with Godot.

Grrrr!! I hate WOKE! 😡😡 /s
