How does this affect games in production? If I have a non- or anti-woke game, how will they possibly be able to detect it or do anything about it? I'm not saying this is a non-issue but on its face it seems begging for spite-development.
The closest you could say is, if you want any sort of endorsement or shoutout by the engine itself, on social media, your game can't be anti-woke, and you can't be outspoken, because the lunatic in charge of the "community" is a power-tripping weirdo.
So you can argue cultural impact, but the actual game programming remains unchanged. And should remain that way, unless they really go insane like Adobe or something, and build in "project monitoring" for "noninclusive language," or something. But that's a long ways off at the moment, and I doubt will really happen and, even if it did...major fork time. Or you could just use the previous version until a fork, if they ever did something massive like that.
Thanks to the nature of the program, projects themselves remain completely untouched at the moment.

Yeah, they can't. And aren't claiming to want to. Some of their lead people are just woke lunatics...and now being much more outspoken about it.
Honestly it probably will end up going the way of Adobe if the rot isn't immediately purged. Luckily from what I can tell its possible to fork it but its still a mess.

It doesn't, at all, thankfully. At least for now.

Then this makes me kind of want to use Godot anyway to make my Hadrian retrospective RPG.

Yup. It really is a shame; Godot is a good product. But once the rot sets in...
So, yeah. Hopefully someone forks it.
