Godot cult: instead of discussing facts, Godot followers choose to publicly label me as insane, crazy, mentally-ill, suggest professional help, get therapy etc.

The following are examples of such toxic behavior.

#GodotEngine #CancelGodotEngine #Godoctor Image
When people call others crazy or suggest professional help in this context, then this what describes gaslighting, a very destructive form of manipulation:

verywellmind.com/is-someone-gas…
Before showing examples, I'd like you to understand that Godot shows all signs of having collective narcissism qualities:

Before Godot cult followers say that what I describe here is an objective proof of my insanity, then this would be nothing more than "appeal to popularity" and/or "appeal to authority", which are fallacies.

The lead developer and cult leader of Godot, Juan, aka @reduzio, publicly gaslights people into believing that there's something wrong with me using his authority by spreading slander against me as a former member of Godot community, suppressing doubts within his cult community. Image
The project manager of Godot, Rémi, aka @Akien, suggests that I have some kind of mental health problems when he removed my maintainer privileges in Godot for having a different opinion.

The above are cult leaders of Godot so far. Now, let me show the behavior of Godot cult followers and/or who posses qualities of herd mentality.
Bigotry describes cult community as well. The very people I quoted in this thread that suggested I need professional help went hysterical already! They noticed that other people call me insane and started to like their tweets! Circlejerk behavior in action, they prove my point. Image
Once I've identified their behavior above, some have already removed their likes from this thread, but not all (yet). Reasons:

1. Further undermine my perception of reality, for instance: "I didn't like those tweets, so you must be insane".

2. They're afraid to look stupid.

Some Godot followers keep saying to me that I should stop talking negatively about Godot, saying that this is unhealthy or excessive. The more you try to discourage me to stop this, the more this motivates me to talk negatively about Godot! 🙂

#GodotEngine #CancelGodotEngine Image
Because this amount of gaslighting and slandering as done by Godot followers is very alarming. To Godot followers, it's like I never existed in the first place... I repeat: I'm an ex-developer of Godot. You can verify this for yourself by launching Godot's "About" window. Image
I do not hide anything about myself. I'm a real person, with a real name.

Some Unity users and even moderators within Unity community are infected with the futile ideology of waiting for Godot! This must be fixed! Let me explain why.

#GodotEngine #CancelGodotEngine #Unity3D #Unity #GameDev
As you may know, Unity recently merged with ironSource: blog.unity.com/news/welcome-i…
This created a mass hysteria on Unity forums. Because of this, Unity folks were heavily discussing Godot there to consider switching to as an alternative to Unity, so I decided to share my perspective there:

Juan's hypocrisy in one picture, aka @reduzio! He publicly says that he encourages public discussions. But privately, he will tell you that expressing disagreement in private is far more productive and useful!

#GodotEngine #CancelGodotEngine
I totally realize that everybody in Godot community simply adore Juan, but he has undue influence over you, so let me explain this. Feel free to read this before continuing:

Disagreements are at the heart of every fruitful discussion. If you agree, that's fine. If you disagree, that's also fine, because disagreement challenges different viewpoints that lead to actual consensus. You can read this article which explains this:

Juan's hypocrisy: talks about critical thinking, but allows none in Godot community.



#GodotEngine #CancelGodotEngine
Juan says that they would like to "prevent bloat". He also says that they "refuse by default": godotengine.org/article/will-y…
The problem is that they attract many ideas, and have to refuse all of them, and make people disappointed with the unclear development process.

Solution: write development philosophy, define scope. But no! Juan wants people to keep people deluded:

People who get offended by #CancelGodotEngine say that it's done in bad faith, vengeance, or say that I'm biased, angry, arrogant, corrupt, making up conspiracy theories, or even suggest that I need professional help! Oh, and a cultist, sure! Did I miss anything, #GodotEngine? 🤔
Surprise! All people who say those things are Godot cult followers: users, developers, designers, artists, donators, and even people who haven't tried Godot yet, but simply know about it and follow its development and would like to use it in the future.

However, if you're not a Godot follower and you share the same accusations towards me as done by Godot followers, please let me know! I'm interested to know your perspective, I'd like to help people, I want to deliver my message in such a way that it's understood by most people.

Godot is #OpenSource, but it doesn't mean that the mentality of Godot is open. They use their corporate IT consulting processes to drive Godot's development. It's not community-driven. They see volunteers as a service (VaaS) to companies.

#GodotEngine #CancelGodotEngine
In order to understand why Godot is not community-driven, take a look here first and foremost:

Godot founders, Juan and Ariel, created a company called Codenix, a game development and technology consulting company. Godot as an in-house engine used to be developed and licensed to various companies up until 2014.
