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
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
I would be curious how many people in that boat find themselves looking at steam reviews in order to make a decision. It didn’t even occur to me until this happened that the reviews exist.
I also did not know the page existed
I’d hope that people using reviews have figured out by now that you don’t just go by the summary but actually read some of the reviews to see if the issues even resonate with you.
Personally, a bunch of negative reviews whining about how woke something is would make me dismiss the negative reviews in general, so this could give it a boost with people like me, just from drowning out more legitimate complaints.
I mean, if it was a game and not an engine I had already started playing around with.
