Five Nights At Freddy's

[Robomorons]

Once again, Twitter kills off the very thing they dedicated their lives to.

Because apologizing -- never mind, anyone who responds like this both does and doesn't deserve the derision.

Based and Freddy-pilled.

I question whether or not this was a good idea for Scott Cawthon to respond at all. After a couple of days, it appeared that the outrage was effectively contained to a collection of Twitter crybabies with not a peep from game journo outlets, despite their ideologically alignment with said crybabies. After this E3 weekend, that probably would've been the end of it. By responding, however, Scott now makes this a news story and guarantees that the outlets will disseminate the outrage by Monday.

But as far as responses go, this is an absolutely ace statement.

Love the irony, too.

Same here, but I suppose that Scott already has made more than enough money to not need to kowtow to the mob.

That being said, it does potentially limit his future output due to how pozzed the entire industry is, which may not be a good thing if he still wants to put out popular games. So as such, I agree with you on that point- that it could have been wiser to just let the story die on its own.

Good thing though that at least the reddit community seems to be backing him:

Someone leaked that Scott Cawthon, a Christian who made a Christian game and a vaguely pro-life game, donated to right-wing parties:

Backing him only to an extent. The post is currently at 64% upvote, dropping from 87% mere hours ago, and the obviously-Lefty mods now have it comment-locked and forbid any further discussion.

Meanwhile, Resetera is reacting to this... As Resetera is.

THEY'RE ANIMATRONICS MADE TO ENTERTAIN YOUNG CHILDREN. WHY DOES IT MATTER WHAT GENDER THEY ARE THEY HAVE NO BITS DOWN THERE.

I need to know or I can't write my gay fanfic opus about them.

 

[Fortunato Brown]

Good to see he's getting some support. And also glad to see he didn't back down as far as his political beliefs. He's an evangelical Christian so while his statement on the LGBTQ community supportive, I imagine it was more from a "hate the sin, not the sinner" approach.

Seems like PC Gamer is the first outlet to take a shot at Scott with a few dismissive "well, he's not really being cancelled" quips.

Five Nights at Freddy's creator 'won't apologize for' Trump support |…

Five Nights at Freddy's creator Scott Cawthon has confirmed a report that he made significant contributions to Republican political action committees and candidates including Devin Nunes, Ben Carson, Mitch McConnell, and Donald Trump, and said that he's prepared to "get cancelled" and retire from the Five Nights community if people believe that he's doing more harm to it than good.

Some of Cawthon's publicly available donation records were shared on Twitter on June 10, and can also be seen at opensecrets.org. It's Republican across the board, except for a $2,500 donation to Democrat Tulsi Gabbard, and along with a large slate of individual candidates also includes the WinRed PAC and the National Republican Senatorial Committee. Reaction to the tweets was largely negative, particularly among members of the LGBTQ+ community, which makes up a significant portion of the Five Nights fan base.

Cawthon acknowledged that disappointment in a message posted to Reddit earlier today, in which he confirmed that the donation reports are accurate.

"To say that the last few days have been surreal would be an understatement," he wrote. "I've debated greatly how best to address this, including not addressing it at all, but with so many people from the LGBT community in the fanbase that I love, that's not an option.

"I'd like to think that the last seven years would have given me the benefit of the doubt in regards to how I try to treat people, but there I was, trending on twitter for being a homophobe, getting doxed, with people threatening to come to my house. My wife is six weeks pregnant and she spent last night in fear because of what was being said online. She has already been struggling with her pregnancy so seeing her so afraid really scared me. All this because I exercised my right, and my duty, as an American citizen, to vote for and support the candidates who I felt could best run the country, for everyone, and that's something that I won't apologize for."

Cawthon said the candidates he supported included "men, women, white people, black people, republicans, and democrats," and he specifically defended his backing of Kimberly Klacik ("I believed that she really cared for the African American community there and wanted to pull them out of poverty") and Tulsi Gabbard, who he says he felt "would have been a good and fair president" even though he disagreed with her on specific policies.

He also commented on what is no doubt the most controversial part of the report, his support of then-president Donald Trump.

"I felt he was the best man to fuel a strong economy and stand up to America's enemies abroad, of which there are many," he wrote. "Even if there were candidates who had better things to say to the LGBT community directly, and bigger promises to make, I believed that their stances on other issues would have ended up doing much greater harm to those communities than good."

Cawthon claimed to be supportive of creators regardless of their background, and said that as a result he's worked with "a very diverse group of people" over the course of his career. He said that's not going to change, but neither will his approach to other aspects of his life.

"I'm a republican. I'm a Christian. I'm pro-life. I believe in God," he wrote. "I also believe in equality, and in science, and in common sense. Despite what some may say, all of those things can go together. That's not an apology or promise to change, it's the way it's always been.

"If I get cancelled, then I get cancelled. I don't do this for the money anymore; I do it because I enjoy it. If people think I'm doing more harm than good now, then maybe it's better that I get cancelled and retire. I would accept that. I've had a fulfilling career. Besides, most things that people can take from you are things that never had much value to begin with."

While the immediate reaction on Twitter was largely negative, the response to Cawthon's post on Reddit has been very different. Many posters expressed gratitude for the Five Nights games and Cawthon's responsiveness to fans, and while there are some indications of disappointment, there seems to be virtually no interest in "cancelling" him. There are also a few comparisons to Minecraft creator Markus "Notch" Persson, who was excised from his creation (after selling it to Microsoft for $2.5 billion) over multiple widely criticized posts on social media, and hopes that Cawthon won't suffer a similar fate.

"It's like Minecraft without Notch," one wrote about Cawthon's possible censure. "It's a huge hole in the community that we can't fill to this day."

The latest Five Nights at Freddy's game, Security Breach, is currently expected to be out in late 2021.

Andy Chalk is such a creepy little goblin. Anyone have those homophpbic tweets of his handy?

Same dude who said being a fash is worse than being a pedo.

“Option A agrees with exactly 95% of your stances, they just don’t much care for the alphabet people.”

“Option B is diametrically opposed to everything you stand for with the sole exception of LGBT+ issues, and will actively attempt to make your life worse as a rich, straight, white, Christian male who presumably also owns guns.”

“What the fuck, why are you going with A? You must want the gays to die, fuck you.”

There’s no nuance anymore. You can’t just say you voted for Trump because of his economy, who the fuck cares about that these days, they can always print more money, right? No, you just hate minorities.

Outside of Nafedude, he also manages to be a sort of sperg that could bitch about politics opposite of him that wouldn't even be nazis or fascist. I remember him bitching about how South Park empowered fascist because of a few episodes. Cue a couple years or so later and he looks at Hazbin Hotel and thinks that's some cudgel for right wingers just because of stupid manchild shit over cartoons has to be some sort of serious political business and very recently having some brief slapfight with another Twitter sperg in thinking that guy had to be some conservative.

Political nuance and anything else like naivety dies. After all, why bother with looking deeper at it when you can just throw your hands up and screech about how Scott voting Trump means he actually wants to hang all the gays and not falling for some political sensationalist BS spewed like any other politician in saying he can fix the economy.

 

[Dom Cruise]

I like how nowhere in these people's heads is the thought that this is a free fucking country and you can vote for whatever party or person you want to.

You're only supposed to only vote a certain way, think a certain way, consume certain media and so on, these people are fascists plain and simple.

And I thought I couldn't hate them any more than I did, what an absolute piece of shit lowlife.

 

[SteelPlatedHeart]

Scott definitely called it when he said those people aren’t going to bother listening to what he said and just get pissy he didn’t grovel for forgiveness. It’s amazing seeing people read his response on Twitter and go “Ugh, I can’t believe he said ‘I can’t be homophobic, I have gay friends’ what a monster”. Just completely missing the point.

But on a positive note:

 

[Aqua Panda]

That response was absolutely based. He didn't apologize for his beliefs (nor should he) and broke down the hate mob point by point.

Based upon the original hit pieces coming out at 12 hour intervals, this was 100% an attempt to cancel/destroy him right before E3. It's backfiring hard now and people are seeing the cancel mob for what it is.

There is the arguement that he shouldn't have said anything at all, but IMO we've reached the point where if you don't, it'll be a scarlet letter like a noose around your career. Going after his pregnant wife was a new low.

It should be a wake up call for twitter and reddit that you can't just destroy and bully people who don't agree with you. Also, love the double standard twitter has with not banning all the TOS violations going on over this.

 

[Chris Mclean]

I unironcally hate homosexuals. They have to make everything about buttsex. Even something as innocent as a childrens horrorgame has to be corrupted and made in to a genderblob mess. The creator cannot even support something as normal as the party that around 50% of americans voted for.

 

[Someone in a Tree]

I’m sure the aggrieved members of the fan base will accept the fact that there are people with different ideologies and not do something completely childish and untethered from reality like saying that the franchise was actually created by Hatsune Miku.

TV Tropes users on the whole situation.
