It all started with the unofficial godot discord admin dealing with some chuds and people turning their ire towards the Godot Foundation staff instead.
Since Godot has stubbornly remained on the Xitter nazi bar as a valid space for PR and social media interaction and dared to promote the Wokot hashtag and reiterate their progessiveness, the reactionaries infesting that space are now piling on their socials and harassing everyone they can get their eyes on.

Anyway, solidarity with the targets of harassment. I hope they finally realize that Xitter is a lost cause.
Update: Godot is being review-bombed
Fortunately the reactionary backlash seems to be having the opposite effect
The lead developer Juan Linietsky pronounces it go-dot as well, though with the emphasis on the second syllable (arguably just a matter of accent). I also prefer that pronunciation. A lot of people pronounce it as if it's French, since it happens to have a name that's also known from a French play (see: the other replies).
I think it's a GIF situation. Either way is broadly acceptable (though some people gatekeep on it; see above).
