    I left FNaF behind almost 2 years ago now but it was an absolute blast and a big part of my life from early 2015-mid 2019. Basically Junior High up until my Junior year. Who knows maybe I'll come back to it someday. Thank you Scott for the fun memories.

    I'm part of the LGBTQ community, and I think the reaction here was so unecessary.
    I know this was a while ago, but I just want to give my two cents.
    I've loved FNAF for such a long time, and still do, even more nowadays that I'm older, it was a big part of my childhood, and also a big part of many other people's childhoods as well, so much so that it spawned so many passion projects and fangames out there, and for that, I respect Scott a LOT, EVEN if he made a mistake supporting these anti-LGBT charities (in my personal opinion).
    People screw up, it happens y'know. This doesn't diminish my appreciation for Mr. Cawthon, and I dunno, that's just how I feel.
    He's not a villain here, he just messed up. Unlike Notch for example, who kinda deserves the critcism he got...
    FNAF is and I know it'll always be awesome. Thanks, Scott, for everything.

    honestly, this case is really conflicting. i can understand the anger towards him, except the people that wntd too far, of course. personally though, i have respect for the guy. i can understand that the donations were for unrelated things, though i could not, bring myself to support him financially knowing that some of that money may go to people who work towards harming me and people like me.
    also, to the people going "oh grr its because of these lgbt sjws grr!"; its the internet. it brings out the worst parts of everyone. i can guarantee you such vile harassment comes from and goes towards any side of the internet, for the mildest of reasons.

    I agree that the people who sent Scott and his family death threats and doxxed him have no right to do so, and honestly it's messed up that they would do that knowing he has kids and a wife who have nothing to do with his political beliefs. However, I will say I don't agree with Scott's donations at all (especially the ones for Trump and Mitch McConnell) nor do I agree with his pro-life stance, it's part of the reasons I buying the games after Sister Location.
    Also, while Scott's done a lot for charity I don't feel like works as a counter point to how people feel about the political donations (especially those in the LGBTQ community). The people who get those donations do just as much damage as the donations Scott gives do good, maybe more so, and while he had his reasons to give to them I don't think they justify the harm he knew the politicians could do/have done.
    Either way I hope Scott can have a quiet life with his family, where they don't have to worry about insane fans or people sending them threats. No one deserves to have their loved ones threatened.

    For as much as a meme Mat Pat is, at least he stood up for him. Where was Markiplier? Where were these million sub RUclipsrs defending him?

    Honestly he is a Christian, him donating to anti-LGBTQ organisations is his freedom. If you don’t like it, you can criticise it, but you can’t do anything more than that. The LGBTQ community is really self-important, fact is the world is not just about them. Scott didn’t just donate to anti-LGBTQ, he also donates to St. Jude’s, charity etc. He created the most thought provoking game series that inspired many kids to think critically and find out information in various means, he’s a great man. Let us remember the right to freedom of religion is as valid as their right to love.

    • @MomoMMDs
      @MomoMMDs 3 года назад +29

      I agree. I should also point out that it feels like everyone's blaming the LGBTQ community for doxing him. He was already being doxxed before we found out where his donations were going. A part of the leaked information just happened to be that he donated to anti-LGBT republicans.
      To add onto this, said republicans want us dead. They don't care about the LGBTQ community and want us gone. Scott still had the audacity to say that he felt that they would be better for our community.
      I don't think scott is a bad person but I do think what he did was very stupid and I cannot support him for his decision. While yes him being doxxed was awful and shouldn't have happened in the first place, people need to hold him accountable for this and need to stop wording everything like him being doxxed was our community's fault.

    i just really cant understand why scott would say he is 100% for the lgbtq+ community and isn't against them if he's not sorry for his donations. how can he claim to be against something that he willingly and knowingly contributed to? obviously the death threats and doxxing are terrible but he's being extremely hypocritical.
    im a big fan of fnaf and im apart of the lgbtq+ community. i grew up with the series and i just now found out about this. i still plan on following the series and playing the games because they shaped a good part of my character. fnaf is something that comforts me, but scott cawthon donating to anti-lgbtq+ republican figures and feeling no remorse of any sort for it doesn't sit right with me at all.
    and by the way - being against lgbtq+ people is not simply just a political opinion. it is homophobia and transphobia, otherwise put as discrimination of just another thing that someone cannot change about themselves and have to learn to accept about themselves. people who are against lgbtq+ folks for SIMPLY EXISTING is not a political matter, but rather matters of basic morality and humanity.
    by all means i hope he enjoys his time with his kids and sorts out his issues.

    • @zomwlf

    The situation has left me with mixed feelings and I'm really not sure what kind of conclusion I ought to draw from it. To clear the air, I will never condone doxxing and death threats. That kind of behavior is indefensible. And his family should be left alone; they aren't involved here. I'm not ready to “stand with” Cawthorn, though. I'm LGBT, and I can't just turn a blind eye to what he did. In the back of my mind I've suspected this might happen for a while, but I still felt betrayed to hear that he donates to right-wingers. Even now, after the clownery that the Trump administration put us through. I don't think Scott Cawthorn is a bad person who wants to hurt anyone, but apparently he will put money towards supporting politicians who ARE bad people with the intent to harm. And I can't “stand with” him if he's going to do that.
    Some in this very comment section have argued free speech and freedom of religion, but I think they're missing the point. Cawthorn didn't just say things, and nobody is angry at him for being Christian. His choice to donate to conservative causes has material consequences, and some (I included) believe that those consequences are that certain people groups will be hurt. For as much as people might complain about a perceived woke agenda, LGBT rights in the US are very young and very fragile. I take potential threats to them dead serious. In this country, you have the freedom of religion, but you don't have the freedom to trample on other people's rights.
    My final statement is this: Cherish your memories, but pay attention to the future.
