I'm always amazed how the fuck your feelings crowd have so many feelings and how loud they are about them.
Reactionaries project their toxicity onto everything and everyone who doesn't conform to their nonsense.
Want you to live by rules and have none themselves is the most typical conservative quality ever. It's fuck YOUR feelings, not theirs.
It's because they think only other people's feelings should get fucked, not their own.
Oh, so Godot is even more based now? That's cool to know. Toxic bigots don't belong in any community; deplatform and shame the fuck out of them.
Is based good or bad? What does that even mean?
It means good
Good in the moral sense, like "they're a good person" not "that tastes good."
It means "principled". We already had a word for it.
Is that it? That's pretty much everything I gathered from it too.
Why is anyone making a big deal of that???
If godot stonks go down, maybe people will crawl back to unity and Riccitiello would get to have a smug I told you so moment
Godot is not owned by a company, it doesn't have stocks or shareholders. Unless stonks means something else here.
The Xananax stuff made me think “wait a minute here, something’s not right” since they are part of the Godot community.
In the end it looks like more of the most toxic shitters in existence arguing with one another on Twitter.
I believe some of the are just anti woke. But in the storm people were blocked for posting criticism about the engine that led to more backlash

Oh. Good.
And godot apologized for it?
Yes, saying it they don't represent them and they have an official discord server.
Literally nothing. Godot is amazing and it's butt hurt phobic folk making a mountain out of a mole hill.
This has actually helped a lot.
I never understood the criticism people make of "maybe focus on the engine instead of making bad tweets" as in the social media manager is ALSO the lead coder or something?
At no point does putting out a tweet change how fast someone unrelated takes to code something.
Honestly this was my biggest takeaway, what fucking moron of an engineer thinks the guy running the twitter account has anything to do with bugfixes
Even if it was the lead coder, the 30 seconds needed to post a tweet aren't going to make that much of a difference on fixing a major bug.
Clearly bigots looking for any excuse to fight in the culture war. 30 years ago we had SJWs, now we just have CWs.
fuck am I really unironically going to Know Your Meme for news now??????????
...this is a weird timeline
knowyourmeme, the hero we need, but don't deserve.

LMAO most of the industry runs on a pre-built engine, what a loser
Very good summary. The only thing missing is a mention that in the aftermath a Godot fork called Redot was created and it's twitter account gained 17k followers in 2 days.

in a nutshell,
Godot community manager responds "lmao we're woke" to a tweet that says "using game engines is woke"
Some people decide to cancel godot because woke = bad, as a response a mod of unofficial Godot discord server says fuck that. Godot foundation disapproves of that language.
Godot's code is open for any developer to use however they want so anyone could make a fork of it; but just making a fork of a game engine and innovating on it are two different things.
Godot banned developers/financial backers on twitter and GitHub.
Creator of Godot engine, Head of development and Godot Foundation Board Member, Juan Linietsky is on record as saying,
"I deeply believe that any political discussion that puts labels to a group of people is one that not have started. As most of the people in this planet, no matter their political compass, seems to strongly disagree with me, I just prefer to stay entirely out of politics."
The Godot Foundation responded to the bans with this statement,
"On Friday, we made a tweet that unexpectedly led to a wave of harassment directed at our staff and community. We unequivocally condemn this abuse. The volume of negative engagement overwhelmed our moderation efforts. While attempting to protect the Godot community we mistakenly blocked individuals who were not participating in the harassment. The Godot Foundation Board takes full responsibility for these moderation actions.
If you believe you were blocked in error and have not violated our Code of Conduct, please contact us with the form linked below. We are committed swiftly rectifying any mistakes.
We firmly stand by our mission to keep our community spaces free from hate, discrimination, and other toxic behaviors." -The Godot Foundation Board
After this statement from Godot was released Juan Linietsky posted this on Mastodon,
"Will chill from Twitter/X until after the US elections. Almost all the hate Godot got over the weekend was pretty much people who had not a clue what a game engine is, what Godot is, or what a FOSS / Community made project is. Most of the ones who did were the usual haters.
Checking profile of haters, majority pro-trump people with weird religious symbology, or people with avatars/obsession for anime little girls.
Sometimes I feel I am too innocent for this world."
You missed the part about all the transphobic weirdos unironically declaring "Go woke, go broke" lmao

From what I've read sounds like it can be accurately summed up as stupid xitter drama over politics word.
Culture war bullshit. Godot did nothing wrong from what I've seen.
Fuck, Godot is still on Twitter? Why is Godot still on Twitter?
Because believe it or not Twitter is still popular despite everything
So's Chlamydia. Lots of people have Chlamydia despite everything.
still waiting on it
Woke nonsense shit from both sides. Political issues are always hot button right before a US election. The facts are that Godot engine is still getting updates everyday and the forks are not. This trend will continue and this noise will fade into the background.
