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?

      LMAO most of the industry runs on a pre-built engine, what a loser

      This has actually helped a lot.

      I never understood the criticism people make of “maybe focus on the engine instead of making bad tweets” as in the social media manager is ALSO the lead coder or something?

      At no point does putting out a tweet change how fast someone unrelated takes to code something.

        Honestly this was my biggest takeaway, what fucking moron of an engineer thinks the guy running the twitter account has anything to do with bugfixes

        Clearly bigots looking for any excuse to fight in the culture war. 30 years ago we had SJWs, now we just have CWs.

      Very good summary. The only thing missing is a mention that in the aftermath a Godot fork called Redot was created and it’s twitter account gained 17k followers in 2 days.
