For anyone who potentially doubted my anti-woke/non-woke credentials as a budding dev I don't blame you one bit because you can't trust anyone these days but allow me to flex. I fairly recently made the switch over to Godot and learned a second programming language in order to escape the absolute shitshow that is the Unity engine, just a bit of background for those of you who will understandably have no idea where I'm going with this.

I have now managed to get involved in a bit of drama to do with the Godot forums. I was a regular poster there and I was quite happy and I still am happy to help newbies out figuring out the engine and generally answering any programming questions because as I've posted regularly on here I really do want to help kickstart some kind of indie revolution. That's not going to happen one man army style no matter how much I might fantasize about that, lots of people becoming devs and fulfilling specific niches is what is going to bring down big studios.

It didn't take that long for some kind of drama to kick off over this admin's misunderstanding and this youtuber does a good job of explaining a brief summary of what's going on with the overall situation. I was explaining in the comments page that there's been a political infiltration of the forums and also particularly the discord even had users with tranny flags in there. Instantly got attacked by some retarded leftist clearly looking for clout when I pointed out what these activists were doing.

I wish I had screenshotted the original forum post, it was titled "Why is the discord gay?" which is pretty funny. The admin CyberReality had a similar reaction as the commenter that I was responding to and then proceeded to lock and delete it. I would've thought somebody with that much experience and knowledge wouldn't be so petty but lesson learned, I will always screenshot these conversations now.

As explained in the comments page, the real reason they deleted it was because it made them look bad and it wasn't just me calling them out on the LGBT activism we brought the receipts of what the leftists do and support. Allegedly the guy is from Portland so of course that explains everything. The person trying to call me out on 'homophobia' has a fantastic mask off moment where they claim that not even displaying the pride flag is a sign of it.

These people are fucking everywhere and are trying to enforce a politically motivated extortion racket. They are also trying to stir up drama even in open source projects that can genuinely help create competition to big studios. It looks like this attempt has hilariously backfired because the forum admin didn't even understand how the funding of the project worked.

Even if everything they accused Godot of was true, the project is open source and you can easily fork it and have your own internal version running. Hire some programmers and get them to add any features as necessary or fix bugs themselves, there's nothing that the people involved with the project can do about it legally. This is a nice feeling because it's assured me I made the right call switching to this engine since license shenanigans because of people like this can't happen.

TLDR:

. Dumb likely leftist forum admin allegedly from Portland tries to stir up drama over funding and misunderstands how it all works completely, gets themselves delisted and throws a total hissy fit and shuts down the forum rather than admit they were wrong

. Youtube video made on the topic to clarify things because of misinformation the admin tried to spread. I point out there's more going on in the comments page and some dumb leftist tries to attack me over it and has a hilarious mask off moment showing everyone what they really are
