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.

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
Opinions vary, but since it’s a reference to the Samuel Beckett play “Waiting for Godot”, the most common are GOD-oh (Irish style, I call it) and guh-DOH (French style).
There are people doing tutorials on YouTube who pronounce it go-dot, I wouldn’t really consider it an indicator of somebody who is unfamiliar with the engine myself tbh. I think the developers have basically said “pronounce it however you want”.
