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

more attention for a cool floss game engine, I don't see this as too bad

And it's also making the horrible people move away, making it more difficult for them to make their shitty ideas into games? It's a win win!!

Why do we need a game engine just for one dance or dental hygiene activity. Seems oddly specific to two very different tasks.

feature creep

Considering game devs are intimately aware of review bombing, I really doubt that it will have much negative effect on their userbase. I guess the next Alex Jones game wont use godot.

You'd think so, but fascists are generally cheap and will happily use whatever they can that's made by liberals and leftists. See mastodon being created because of a rumor of Peter Theil buying it and then it's code was used to run Truth social.

The remark is about how few conservative games there even are. Most games I can think of either lean left or have no political commentary in them.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago

Conservatives aren't intelligent and making games is hard

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.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago

Bobby Fingers has the best definition of "woke," one that I feel all can agree with, even if they are dismayed by the quality of his dashboards.

My favourite thing is asking them to define woke.

IMHO, you are woke if you exclude/damage who does not think exactly like you, and later also who thinks like you but he/she is not excluding/damaging the people you put in the black-list.

So it is a rather toxic and dangerous movement, resembling a little the Reign of Terror in France.

Woke is an adjective derived from African-American Vernacular English originally meaning alertness to racial prejudice and discrimination. Beginning in the 2010s, it came to be used as slang for a broader awareness of social inequalities such as racial injustice, sexism, and denial of LGBT rights

What are you on about?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago

So... You have no clue what the word means

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

@mzan @Grandwolf319 So...The KKK is woke by your definition?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The definition was incomplete and a provocation. KKK acted in the name of white supremacy, while woke acts in the name of Social Justice. Obviously woke culture is a lot lot lot less violent of KKK. KKK were criminals. With woke culture at maximum you will do some years in prison due to false accusations, because you should "believe all women", or you will loose the job, and you will never find similar jobs, for some nasty comment you done on some platform when you were a teenager... It can be compared also to McCarthyism.

In any case, the negative part of woke culture is the fanatism. Without the fanatism aspect, I will call a woke, an activist into social justice themes. I like activists. I'm scared from fanatics.

Oh, here comes the enlightened centrist! 🤣🤣🤣

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago

Comparing woke to the reign of terror is a fucking mood buddy

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago

We already have a word for that, it’s called tribalism.

I woke up this morning.

Angry fascist noises

If you get political, people will react 🤷‍♂️

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Treating everyone like human beings is not political. It's common decency.

Homobia, transphobia and racism are not political ideas.

As you can see by the abuse they are now getting this is just shit people being shit.

And even if this was political abusing workers for a company's political stance is also not a sane way to react.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Unfortunately it is, and the way you think humans should react isn't actually how they do.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

No it's literally not. Being a bigot is not a political view.

Politicians may use it to get votes from bigots.

But hating black or gay people is not a valid political stance.

The notion that you group a race people (or in fact any large group) by any characteristics has been scientifically disproven. There is no evidence to support that stance it is simply stupidity and/or hate. Often stemming from a lack of understanding of genetics or a general lack of understanding the wider world.

It is also how they should react if they were a decent person. My point is they are not. They are in fact cunts.

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

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago

Fascist usually can't make games. Best they can do is either some mod, or a kusoge that only has some recognition thanks to it was in a country where English education wasn't very good thus it was among the few easily accessible game for some.
