Responsible #FOSS developers should avoid #politics and intentionally divisive behaviours against their userbase. The #freesoftware movement survives on reputation. Less #Wokot and more #Godot!

@LorenzoAncora Gaslighting much?

You are projecting being inclusive as being the divisive thing.

@PotMetPetunias please don't misuse the word gaslighting. Thank you in advance.

I believe #inclusivity should target the entire userbase and social justice shouldn't be the main focus of FOSS game engine development.

@LorenzoAncora I do not misuse the word gaslighting, thanks for your concern.

Inclusivity also means standing up to the excluding entities when arbitrary groups are excluded, ridiculed etc. Which is what the Godot reply did, but you don't show the whole thread.

You are gaslighting, again:
- Stating the presumption that social justice is the main focus in this discussion because of one tiny responsive message.

p.s. Free, Open Source Software Advocacy is a Social Justice Movement.

@PotMetPetunias it wasn't a concern, it was a warning: if you keep abusing the word gaslighing (which should be reserved for more serious topics), you will be excluded from this and future discussions.

@LorenzoAncora As a father to four, including two 🌈, kids, I think this is a very serious topic. I am not abusing it based on your arbitrary severity criterium, I am calling you out.

p.s. Do you see the irony of your threat to exclude me?

@PotMetPetunias good for you if you have 🌈 or 🦄 or 🧑🏿 kids or relatives, I fully respect that and wish them the best.
In my social profiles all users are equals. I'm asking you to stop misusing a word which is better used for critical situations, as keeping up with this behaviour could pollute search engines and offend the victims of abuses.
