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

I love that one fork that was made. So cute that they think people will use it when it’s basically just a mirror.

It’s so funny seeing tourists complain about it being woke. 9/10 times these guys have never used the engine before

The software and programming world desparately needs to go more woke, so does gaming culture in general, it is the only way to get the toxic assholes to shut up and sit down… and create the oxygen needed for communities that arent embarassing sess pools of tiny pathetic men who exclude everyone else.

Damn I guess my game is woke now. I should up my donation

I was on Xitter to read an update about LGRs situation, when I got one of those “suggested tweets” about Godot from some random account. I clicked on it because I thought it was a totally different situation like Godot going closed source or something.

Nope. It was an entire thread on a bunch of racist transphobes being pissy about an LGBTQ post and how Godot was “Woke” now and “Why are they being political now”. “Go woke, go broke” was also mentioned unironically quite a bit and how people were going to leave in droves for Unity. Nice to see the chant was (once again) proven wrong.

It was a disgusting echo chamber, I had to wash my hands after that.
