What's going on with the Godot engine? (self.outoftheloop)

I saw the apology statement and the original tweet but I'm genuinely confused about what people are mad about?

Especially mad enough to make a fork of the Godot engine?

I did watch This video from Games From Scratch but he barely gives any actual information about what people are mad about. The most information I got is that a joke tweet was made and a non-affiliated moderator went a little overboard.

What am I missing here? What's got everyone so upset?

It's not political to be inclusive. People just use that as a way to passively promote their bigotry.

It’s not the inclusivity that’s political, nor the problem. It’s the banning/silencing people who have any modicum of dissent.

You host a party where you invite all your friends.
Everything is going well, people are having a good time, and then one random asshole you barely know starts making an ass out of themselves and talking bigoted shit, likely directed at groups your other guests are members of.
You tell this person to fuck off and get out of your house, immediately solving the problem instead of 1) coddling them over their shitty beliefs, 2) dignifying their position by trying to reconcile, and 3) giving them time to invite their at-least-equally shitty friends, thereby making the other guests uncomfortable.

I'm sorry you don't understand how this basic idea works.

Reading the room is a lost art it seems.

You're free to spew whatever shit you please. You're also free to experience the consequences of the shit you spew.
