Pycord 

Pycord is an API Wrapper for the Discord API. Pycord is a fork of Discord.py.

Pycord was initially started in TCR (The Coding Realm), a community for programmers after some people suggested that they should make their own wrapper after discord.py got discontinued. CodeWithSwastik, the owner of the server, and BobDotCom, an admin, considered this idea.

After much discussion, it was decided that the name would be Pycord. BobDotCom went ahead to create GitHub handles and Discord Server for the project. Thanks to TCR, Pycord quickly became popular.

Pycord has been controversial in the Discord Unofficial API Wrapper community without many good reasons. The main reasons for this hate are that Pycord got famous quickly, that they started a Patreon, and that Danny, the creator of discord.py, criticised Pycord for their Patreon.

Pycord maintains good relations with most other forks, including Nextcord, but Danny, the creator of Discord.py seems to hate Pycord, as he does most other forks. This has led to Pycord being attacked by various trolls on the internet without any good reason.

Pycord remains the most famous fork of discord.py with simple syntax, a large community, and same-day implementation of Discord Features.

Person 1: Darn, Discord.py got discontinued.
Person 2: I'll use Pycord.

Person 3: Discord.py came back
Person 2: I'll just keep using Pycord, it's not going anywhere.
