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

My favourite thing is asking them to define woke.

IMHO, you are woke if you exclude/damage who does not think exactly like you, and later also who thinks like you but he/she is not excluding/damaging the people you put in the black-list.

So it is a rather toxic and dangerous movement, resembling a little the Reign of Terror in France.

@mzan @Grandwolf319 So...The KKK is woke by your definition?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 months ago

We already have a word for that, it’s called tribalism.

So... You have no clue what the word means

Woke is an adjective derived from African-American Vernacular English originally meaning alertness to racial prejudice and discrimination. Beginning in the 2010s, it came to be used as slang for a broader awareness of social inequalities such as racial injustice, sexism, and denial of LGBT rights

What are you on about?
