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.

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
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.
Conservatives aren’t intelligent and making games is hard
To be fair I do the same shit. Cock.li is useful for burner emails. They can eat shit if they think they’re getting my money for hosting though.
Same with DWM, good window manager, asshole devs.
Just don’t give them money or code.
