Wake up babe, a new litmus test for identifying your very shittiest friends just popped up this week.

After commenters on Twitter rambled about how only "woke" game devs use game engines, Godot jokingly embraced the idea with a little rainbow flag (🌈) emoji.

Since then, they've been hammered by reactionary bullshit. People yelling at them to keep politics out of their game engines, telling them that software dev is inherently apolitical, and bigots raiding their Discord and spewing hate, prompting a lockdown of their community.

One of their moderators posted this week that their little post was entirely apolitical and uncontroversial except to some of the shittiest people on the planet, and I'm really inclined to agree.

Some people's entire lives have been declared "political", and reactionary chuds pushing the "no politics in software" are doing everything they can to ensure we never speak about these people or their contributions to the ecosystem.

This is why it takes me so long to make anything.

Just got laid off. If anyone's looking for a senior writer/showrunner/narrative designer I could really use the work, as this was a contract position and there will be no unemployment.

Games industry, audiodrama, screenwriting, novels, anything with story... I have over ten years of experience and I'm good at what I do. #getfedihired
