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
WTF is the “Gamer Word?”
Racist and sexist slurs, most likely.
You know, edgy 14 year old kids on xboxI 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…
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
So just shitty people we don’t need in the community anyway.
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”.
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
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.
@toAIC good riddance to the 10 offended by an organization being just good people
