Godot staff are facing a huge reactionary backlash on Xitter for being "woke" (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

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.

Examples

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

Someone should make a game that ticks all the"woke" boxes just to piss these guys off. Make pronouns one of the most important part of the game, and force people to be gay, or Bi. Then make it so men have to wear womens clothes and women have to wear mens clothes. Then you can sit back and watch them lose their shit while eating popcorn. 😏

That's good and all...

But how do you pronounce Wokot?

Is it wuh-ko?
Maybe Woke-o?

I MUST KNOW

@yetAnotherUser @db0 I have to assume, despite the spelling, that it is pronounced Whacko...Not even as a diss, just would find it incredibly amusing. "And dot" is right there too! idk.
