The article was incredibly light on specifics. What were the hateful / threatening messages? Why would anyone have a problem with helping developers find new jobs? Why were those developers fired in the first place?

The "Go woke, go broke" man babies who believes that failed games were because of politics™, and any attempt to help those people is a act of aggression.

These people complain about woke this woke that and don’t even know what the term means.

Because the term means nothing, really. It's just a vehicle for hateful rhetoric, incorrectly applied to everything that they don't like. Yet half the things they like would be considered "woke" by their standards if they were released today.
