Godot Forums and The Mirror, the next Roblox-like platform, announced a business partnership.

What does it mean to @GodotEngine's supposedly bright future? 🙃

#TruthAboutGodot

Read the thread below. 🧵👇 Image To start off, Ariel Manzur, co-founder of Godot, has come on board with The Mirror as a technical advisor. Similar to Juan Linietsky, the lead developer of Godot, he represents Godot PLC and retains a permanent seat at Godot.

A case study for everyone interested in knowing how cults operate and their thinking processes, as seen in some #OpenSource communities.

They adore their leader, and despite facts, are unable to recognize Juan's undue influence over followers of Godot.

#Psychology #Godoctor He insinuates that people with negative experiences have no right to "ruin it for everybody". This narrative implies that the information could somehow ruin the entire project. If words hold such power, it raises questions about Godot's true capabilities.

Godot leadership banned a Ukrainian maintainer amidst Russian invasion of Ukraine, which became the straw that broke camel's back.

Many people misunderstand my motivation on why I talk about Godot's wrongdoings for so long.

Read further! 🧵👇

#GodotEngine #TruthAboutGodot While I do have an emotional attachment to the project, which shows absolutely all signs of being an actual cult, as a former member of it, it's my ethical duty to talk about it. Some people may not understand the entire notion of ethics or duty in the first place, though...

The admin of Godot forums keeps locking the discussion concerning Godot's governance.

Several people attacked my character in a thread which discussed the fact of Godot leadership founding commercial companies for Godot.

When I say that Juan keeps striking community with his stupidity, I mean it. @reduzio expresses his "Messiah complex", once again.

"What kind of jokes are these?", you may ask. Let's see what #Godoctor says about Juan, cult leader of #GodotEngine.

#CancelGodotEngine #GodotCult The "Messiah complex" of Juan stems from his desire to save the world from those "evil" corporations. Taken together with above, he probably wants to show that he's a "Superman":

Godot leadership betrays their ideology!

Lead developer @reduzio and project manager @Akien launched a commercial company called W4 Games!

Free and #OpenSource game engine wants to have a cake and eat it too!

#GodotEngine #CancelGodotEngine #TruthAboutGodot #GameDev W4 Games website.

Notice how Godot leadership deliberately leaves out important information when they say it's a company of "Godot veterans", but those "Godot veterans" and Godot leadership are the same persons.

Juan "The Great", aka @reduzio, once said:

"The world does not care about you or what you think, or about your world views. Keep those to yourself."

These are petty tyrant's advice that undermine critical thinking, creativity, individuality...

#GodotEngine #CancelGodotEngine Image Opinion on the above @reduzio advice from someone who does not have an idea what #Godot represents.

In retrospect, I was highly attached to #GodotEngine, and I used to think that there's something wrong with me.

Having access to outside opinion is crucial.

I recall a proposal in Godot which suggested to hire a full time marketing person. This is exactly how cult communities tend to fixate on promoting their ideology. Why not just make the product speak for itself?

#GodotEngine #GodotCult #CancelGodotEngine

github.com/godotengine/go… Even then, Godot doesn't need a marketing representative, because Godot's toxic leadership achieved this by making a cult out of Godot already. Proposals like above are simply a byproduct, because the process of promoting Godot is built into their ideology.

Behavior of Juan, aka @reduzio, lead developer of @godotengine, can be summarized as undue influence, which manifests as hypocrisy, lack of empathy, inattentiveness, irresponsibility.

Below is my critical analysis.

#GodotEngine #TruthAboutGodot #GodotCult #CancelGodotEngine Juan posses a belief that he's destined to help people to make great games. He attempts to create a game engine which could allow users to create both casual and AAA games with little to no effort. But if you run after two hares, you will catch neither.

The reason why the lead developer doesn't want to make Godot's logo look professional like in other game engines is because such playful image of Godot allows to revert people back to childhood dependence and mindless obedience.

#GodotEngine #GodotCult I'm not making this up! This is a definitive sign of cult communities. Juan, aka @reduzio, is a cult leader of Godot, and members adore Juan. Watch this educational satirical video on cults starting from here:

The game creator of RimWorld says that #GodotEngine is trying to be all things to all people, but it's also trying to hit AAA features, and the lack of decided focus which manifests as misspent effort.

Expressing that people are sane is seen as an insinuation and a slippery slope in #GodotEngine community. 🤦‍♂️

But when #Godot community calls others insane when they talk about Godot shortcomings, it's fine. 🤷‍♂️

To quote @Akien: "Let's not go there please." 😉

#TruthAboutGodot To give this context, we talked about master/slave terminology in Godot and IT. You can even see articles such as these:

I could say a lot of things about Godot. I could write a book about it. But frankly, such a book already exists: George Orwell's "1984".

Unless you went through Godot as a contributor, you may fail to find analogies, and only a few will notice.

Godot irony: @F1reForge enhances a feature that I implemented in #GodotEngine: ShapeCast2D

But I no longer have access to create PRs in Godot to make improvements for that feature myself!

If freedom is a privilege, there's no freedom.

#TruthAboutGodot

github.com/godotengine/go… Despite the fact that I'm cancelled by @Akien in Godot, here's a proof that I actually existed in Godot and that I'm an author of ShapeCast2D feature in Godot. They cannot erase that from history! 😉

How do you feel about it? Endless lies become truth. Freedom for whom? Hypocrisy has a new face, it's called Godot.

Godot cultists make up conspiracy theories about me on their subreddit again. Give me a break! 😂

#GodotEngine #CancelGodotEngine #GodotCult

reddit.com/r/godot/commen… First and foremost, the fact that Godot cultists call me a conspiracy theorist is nothing new. See my other thread (make sure to scroll down to see the educational video on cults):

I've stumbled upon a truly covert #GodotEngine propaganda video. I don't recommend watching it, because videos like these usually induce anxiety feelings and tend not to bring any kind of value. It's created by Godot cult follower, by the way.

#GodotCult

They try to induce anxiety feelings, attempting to convince you that you won't be able to achieve anything in game development. Then, they overtly or covertly offer you a solution: Godot!

This is exactly how cult phobia indoctrination works.

Someone at Godot subreddit says: "I know we're being called a cult and stuff..."

It's nice to see that #GodotEngine becomes more self-conscious about this. If only they could research more, but they turn it into a "sign of success". 😢

#GodotCult

reddit.com/r/godot/commen… Making a cult out of something is fine. But they don't yet realize that Godot is a destructive cult.

Unfortunately, I'm banned from Godot subreddit, so I cannot reach out to those folks to provide my perspective there.

Most people who are in a cult don't realize that they're in a cult, or think they are smart enough to avoid it...

Unlike physical cults, #GodotEngine is an IT cult. This is truly an uncharted territory for people who'd like to study cult psychology in IT.

I oftentimes read that #Godot's development is driven by passion and out of love for those who make games. Why not just develop #GodotEngine independently, then? Why receive donations? What, having passion is no longer enough for Godot to thrive?

#CancelGodotEngine This so-called "love" that the lead developer of Godot tries to portrait, Juan, aka @reduzio, is nothing more but love bombing. This "love" is accompanied by "become Patron", which makes it a truly IT cult organization which aims to milk money.

Godot followers asking Elon Musk for money so that they can run #GodotEngine on their PCs. How sweet! 🙂

#TruthAboutGodot Perhaps this is the actual reason why Godot's lead developer has decided to open-source Godot in the first place, just to receive donations to buy a new PC? 😁

By the way, Juan is from Argentina (South America).
