I saw the apology statement and the original tweet but I’m genuinely confused about what people are mad about?

Especially mad enough to make a fork of the Godot engine?

I did watch This video from Games From Scratch but he barely gives any actual information about what people are mad about. The most information I got is that a joke tweet was made and a non-affiliated moderator went a little overboard.

What am I missing here? What’s got everyone so upset?

    Oh, so Godot is even more based now? That’s cool to know. Toxic bigots don’t belong in any community; deplatform and shame the fuck out of them.

        It means something like rational or good from the point of view of the person saying “based”. Or like “based in reality”.

        Person 1: “My partner broke up with me and I am sad about it but the relationship wasn’t going anywhere and I think it is better that way. I should work on myself before I can be with someone”

        Person2: "that is incredibly based. "

          That’s not what based means here. “Admirable; praiseworthy, especially if the thing that is considered “praiseworthy” is unpopular or controversial.”

          Good in the moral sense, like “they’re a good person” not “that tastes good.”
