Godot maintainer removes controversial satirical piece from documentation
Why can&#x27;t a joke be a joke? In the original thread mentioned by _obviouslynotme_ [0] it starts out with saying they hate how mobile gamers are always the target of mockery. This note does not target mobile gamers as target of mockery, but as victims of engagement strategies to make you addicted. And then it fails to understand the sarcasm of the overall text.<p>What is humor allowed to do? It&#x27;s a big question of our time, and I&#x27;d say everything that is immoral, but nothing that is unethical.<p>Should humor be kept out of _professional setting projects_. My take: No. If we do that, we humans are just machines.<p>David Graeber said in Bullshit Jobs (p. 213 of the German version; sentence-by-sentence translation by me):<p>&gt; You can call this mockery of justice. It exists in many forms. The right-leaning version judges those that believe the world owes them [...] equality before the law. But there also exists a version of the left-wing: It consists of telling people that they should check their privileges, if they had the impression they had the right to anything that poor or more opressed people don&#x27;t have. With this benchmark even the person receiving a beating by the police and is imprisoned without reason can only then complain about injustice after naming every other category of men that is more likely to be a victim of it.<p>[0] - <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=26338268" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=26338268</a>
