Gets caught being racist in the past
People in turn thought it was the official discord server and that Xananax an official member, and started harassing the actual Godot staff. They are forced to ban people who appear to be harassing them for no reason. Today they posted a statement to clarify
Update: Statement from Xananax
Looks like this is actually a reactionary response to them stopping hate speech in their server.
Stop using X/Twitter! Especially if you want to stop promoting hate.
Complaining on X/Twitter about hate speech is like bitching about racism at a Nazi rally.
That’s not about what’s happening on Twitter.
Oof, seems like a rough situation. Glad at least that Godot itself isn’t racist lol.
That mod has always been causing headaches by reactionaries, usually for banning people that came in to stir shit. They’ve also always been edgy and they’ve been in hot water before, I don’t agree with any of that behavior but since they’re not moderating the official server I… don’t have to deal with it
Was sad to see Lunduke side with the trolls and generally voice the same dogwhistles as the bigots and trolls. Seeing his comment section complain about wokeness and generally voicing the losing side of the culture war (with varying levels of masking their hateful views) was pretty sad as well
Looks like Godot is handling it well. They took a stance in support of LGBTQ rights but condemned the not so business safe statements by Xananax and distanced themselves from them, plus they reiterated their policy of reviewing bans as needed
