To be completely honest, this whole thing seems to have nothing to do with godot at all. These bullies found a target, that’s all. I can only assume that once this whole “controversy” dies out, their reaction to godot will be “godot? Wazzat? Never heard of it.”

So I don’t think anything like a godot-gate will come out of it (assuming a godot-gate would be something like boycotting godot, or campaigning against its use)

Yeah that makes sense. I guess that the lack of positive replies could be attributed to the fact that the “real godot community” has long since left twitter. It’s quite sad that the only people who still use it are those who spend their time spreading hate for whatever reason… Though on the bright side, them having their own little far-right social media to play means that there’s a smaller chance they’ll pervade other social media, which is a good thing. I definitely don’t want to see those type of people here on lemmy!

Ahhh I see, that would explain it. I was kinda confused with how little positive comments there appeared to be compared to the sea of hateful ones when clicking the more replies button, but that would explain it - I hadn’t thought about it. I’ve gotta admit though, surprisingly, even after I scroll past the blue checkmarks, although the positive/negative comment ratio is much more in line with my expectations, most comments are nevertheless pretty hateful. Though I guess that can be explain with just twitter being twitter.

Thank you!

After seeing the thread, I don’t think even understand what caused the outrage. There was so much unfounded hate everywhere, what the hell? Is this normal in twitter? Or do people there simply have some sort of hate switch that gets turned on whenever someone says woke (word which, honestly, I don’t even fully understand what it means)

Reading those comments made me feel like I was reading a contest to see who could be the most hateful though, holy damn…
