I saw the apology statement and the original tweet but I’m genuinely confused about what people are mad about?

Especially mad enough to make a fork of the Godot engine?

I did watch This video from Games From Scratch but he barely gives any actual information about what people are mad about. The most information I got is that a joke tweet was made and a non-affiliated moderator went a little overboard.

What am I missing here? What’s got everyone so upset?

    You’re absolutely right; if that’s what was happening. And anybody who would take a piss in the stew should be kicked the fuck out immediately. I agree with you.

    What I see being glossed over about my post is that I’m criticizing how developers were banned for asking questions or making non-“piss in the stew” statements. Someone made a statement that they’d prefer to see development progress from Godot and not sociopolitical ideology.

    Now, while I agree that both are not mutually exclusive (given it’s a Xitter Community Manager and not a developer (afaik)), I do not feel it was ban worthy. But I am open to being corrected if someone could explain to me why it’s bad?

    Look, I’m not perfect, and I grew up surrounded by a lot of bias, racism, and bigotry. I strive to overcome those chains, and be as good a human bean as I can be. I have zero issue with how people want to live their lives (as far as LGBTQ+ goes especially). All that to say that I am not trolling here. I genuinely would like someone to explain to me why my comments are being taken so negatively in this conversation.

      That’s what bigots say when things aren’t going their way, they are absolutely also the first ones to spread their own “sociopolitical ideology” (read: toxic bigotry) on unrelated things

      Also a lot of your comments here are eerily similar to the transphobic racists on Xitter that I personally saw when I found myself in one of their toxic AF echo chambers

        We’ll thank you for letting me know that is how it’s coming across. If it makes any difference, it’s not my intention or desire. I will revise my approach.
