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

    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.

      I’d say, it’s a bit concerning since review bombing can turn away people who are uncertain about using Godot, or donating to it.

        As a dev, seeing a bunch of reactionary fuck heads criticising Godot would make it more appealing. I like working with good people

    Someone should make a game that ticks all the"woke" boxes just to piss these guys off. Make pronouns one of the most important part of the game, and force people to be gay, or Bi. Then make it so men have to wear womens clothes and women have to wear mens clothes. Then you can sit back and watch them lose their shit while eating popcorn. 😏

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

    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.

    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.

    I didn’t know it was because of them supporting LGBTQ+, mostly because they’ve been doing that for a very long time now and very publicly. I thought most of the backlash stemmed from this;

      Conveniently Godot is not a game and general consumer reviews have no real relevance

    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.

      The flagbearer is ofc grummz, the terminally online ex-gamedev chud who turned to shit every game he touched and has had his right-wing grifting platform on Xitter massively boosted in recent years.
