I was on Xitter to read an update about LGRs situation, when I got one of those “suggested tweets” about Godot from some random account. I clicked on it because I thought it was a totally different situation like Godot going closed source or something.
Nope. It was an entire thread on a bunch of racist transphobes being pissy about an LGBTQ post and how Godot was “Woke” now and “Why are they being political now”. “Go woke, go broke” was also mentioned unironically quite a bit and how people were going to leave in droves for Unity. Nice to see the chant was (once again) proven wrong.
It was a disgusting echo chamber, I had to wash my hands after that.
Wait, what’s going on with LGR?
I don’t have xitter account so I can’t see what’s going on
He lives in Asheville, NC one of the places wrecked by flooding from Helene. Last update was his house has been significantly damaged to the point where it’s basically unhabitable, but he is safe with family.
Damn I guess my game is woke now. I should up my donation
Did something happen with Godot that caused the lost sponsors…?
Edit: this thread has some discussion if you’re out of the loop like me
Kinda sounds like Godot did pretty much nothing wrong and it’s just a bunch of internet drama? Hard to tell honestly
Also my impression. Seems like it’s manufactured, encouragement not to engage with any of it?
Silly drama about a mod of an unofficial discord.
It was the official discord until earlier this year, so it’s kinda not just “some unofficial server”. Also, the mod in question was using racial slurs. Granted, the Godot foundation also split ways with them.
Additionally there was something about an over zealous community manager blocking people over responses that supposedly weren’t all that inflammatory or bad? I’m not super sure there, I’ve only kinda half been paying attention to it
WTF is the “Gamer Word?”
Racist and sexist slurs, most likely.
You know, edgy 14 year old kids on xboxI’m so glad the Internet didn’t exist when I was that age.
I no longer identify as a “gamer” it’s long since been coopted by a group I have no desire to associate with.
Not sure what their “world” is but I imagine a lot of tendonitis from all the knee jerk reactions from the members of it
Hey that’s exactly why I’m back on Lemmy. After getting “we’ll ackshewally’d” one too many times by PC Gameurs™ I just fucking can’t anymore
Oh you know…
They made a cheeky tweet asking for people to share their projects while referencing a lowlife saying that “using 3rd party engines is woke”
cockroach “people” then jumped in on it triggering a harassment campaign
Please dont call people lowlifes or cockroaches or “people” thats such a Nazi way of expressing your thoughts. Im sure there are better insults that dont involve calling them “subhuman”.
For those objecting to this it’s absolutely true. Fight Nazis, with guns when necessary, but do not be misled into believing they are wholly alien or inhuman. That’s how you end up living in the middle of a bunch of Nazis without realizing their Nazis.
Found the lowlife cockroach “person”
The last thing I want is to normalize dehumanizing people
Maybe it comes from being a part of a group that has historically been dehumanized but it always leads to bad outcomes
I’ll remember that as they put you on the wall, right after they put me up there too.
You don’t try to love cancer away, you cut it out or physically destroy it by all means possible.
And boy, has Western society metastasized.
Dehumanising really isn’t effective against nazis, because it implies that actual humans aren’t capable of atrocious behaviour while we’ve clearly seen that they are. It’s always better to call nazis/fascists/imperialists/colonialists/racists/homophobes/etc by their name.
Bots ain’t people yet.
If we look at their perspective, engines that could block you from developing in them are more “woke” than an open source one that doesn’t enforce any restriction on its developers by design. Going after godot for this feels so dumb.
It’s just a vocal minority of people with nothing to do, so they get mad at other people being happier than they are.
Ah. I misread the post, I follow what the guy is saying and what your title was about now.
And yeah that’s more or less the basic jist I was getting. Seems like a really dumb thing for people to be upset over.
So just shitty people we don’t need in the community anyway.
