   the "apolitical" redot engine is talking about "forced" DEI 🤡
   
   (whatever the hell they mean by "forced" DEI escapes me)

     also funny considering that they forked because godot made a joke about game engines being woke. great showoff of shitting in your pants there, redot :neocat_think_googly_woozy:

     @puniko Weird thinking. Like everything that you produce will come out queer and nonbinary just because you use a software from an open minded developer.

     @puniko whenever someone specifically distances themselves from progressive stuff and claims to be apolitical that is always 100% of the time a conservative that is just too scared to admit it due to the backlash they’d (rightfully) get

     @stefan@akko.lightnovel-dungeon.de i know what DEI is, but what they mean by "forced" escapes me. especially in case of redot, since godot never "forced" you to add minorities into your game. its really silly

     @puniko So googling reveals DEI is Diversity, Equality and Inclusion. So I guess they are basically trying to shoot against the "forced" inclusion of divers people, disabled people and would not have black people and women?
     
     I dunno what they want to say with "forced". No one forces anyone to do anything. Just have to live with the consequences. :akko_shrug:
     
     There is plenty to like about divers representation in games. Like in Stardew Valley I can play a male character but dress them all female. Like you know a skirt and long hair. Which is so cool to me.
     
     Also I don't think any of the inclusion is really forced. Its just the devs deciding to give divers people, divers options to play.
     
     But I guess we are all just to left to understand.

     @stefan@akko.lightnovel-dungeon.de honestly, this looks more like another attempt to paint themselves as not being a bigot fork of godot. imo they fail with that, considering why they did the fork in the first place

     Just the latest scapegoat for idiots.
     I cannot express how much I do not care about this joke of a fork.

     @puniko larry fink (black rock CEO, richest hedge fund on the planet) admitted some years ago he was going to use his investment capital to "force behaviors" in companies.
     
     the results have been weird.

     @stefan @puniko indie games do it because they have interesting ideas and are serving those markets directly. AAA companies are coerced by big investment firms to hire DEI consultants and meet criteria. forced is a strong word, coerced by limiting access to capital is accurate. there is nothing wrong with progressive themes or minority representation in games but siding with corporate coercion on art is not progressive.
     
     just buy indie games, they do "DEI" correctly, and without coercion.
