This is an old video, and nobody is going to see this, but I feel like putting down my opinions anyways. The way I see it, there's a big difference between being a bad person and doing a bad thing, something the internet likes to forget in the "black and white" narratives it likes to push. Scott did a bad thing, he donated money to people he shouldn't have and hurt people. He deserves criticism and the LGBTQ community is fully justified in being upset with him. That being said, I don't think he's a bad person. He didn't do this out of malice for the LGBTQ community - he truly believed he was supporting the best candidates for everyone. I can't say I agree with his assessments, but I can at least understand why he made those assessments. It's one of the many flaws with the two party system - you're often forced to choose between two extremes, and support people who say things you disagree with because you still feel like they even out better than their opponent. How many people supported Trump/Biden simply because they weren't the other? Once again, I can't say I agree with the politicians he supported overall, but this goes beyond what's morally right or wrong and more into the subjective areas of politics. The problem with this situation was how people responded. His supporters sucked his dick and acted like he did nothing wrong, which wasn't the case, while his detractors went from criticizing his actions to criticizing him as a person, calling him homophobic/transphobic/anti-LGBTQ, which also wasn't the case. Then you had the asshats who doxxed/harassed him directly, making everything worse. Under all this pressure, I can't say it's surprising he put out an iffy response and then chose to retire for his family's safety. Ultimately, this was just a scenario where nobody was in the right and everything just kinda sucked as a result. I still support Scott as a person, since I think he's a good person, and would happily welcome him back to the community, but I would not defend his actions nor would I give him money if these donations kept happening. But hey, what do I know, I'm just some asshole making a comment on a 6 month old youtube video.

Being openly and unabashedly pro-life and conservative is not just "a small mistake", it's an active belief someone holds for a long time. It's not as if Scott just "slipped up" or "made a mistake" and accidentally pressed the "donate thousands of dollars to conservative politicians" button - he had a train of thought that led to him thinking that was a good idea. He then proceeded to double down on this, so it hardly seems like he has any intention to change this train of thought anytime soon. I highlight being pro-life, as while his other beliefs can be dismissed as "the party system, choosing a lesser of two evils", he openly owned up to being pro-life, which is basically saying that women should give up their bodily autonomy and not receive proper health care because of some ill-conceived sanctity ascribed to a (literally) brainless, emotionless zygote (I'm guessing because conception is the moment the "soul" enters the body). In light of that, no, I cannot say that he is a "good guy" that "just made some mistakes". His beliefs are repugnant, on a fundamental level. And let's not kid ourselves - is anybody really donating to Trump because of his well though out and articulated foreign or economic policy? Or is it more likely they've bought into the hype he generated with nationalistic and discriminatory rhetoric? The way Scott's detractors treated him, doxxing a death threats, is also horrible, but let's not act as if this somehow retroactively justifies or lessens the severity of his beliefs. "Both sides were wrong" does not mean that the wrongness of either side is excused. And let's not forget that Scott's critics (f.e. James Stephanie Sterling) also received harrasment from his hardcore fans.

@@Halucygeno There's nothing wrong or "evil" about being pro-life, there's this preconception that the movement's final goal is only to get rid of women's bodily rights which is a really dumb way to describe a much complicated topic. No, pro-life advocates wishes for the rights of both parties, the life that's to come and the life of the mother to be protected, it's not just about banning abortion but giving the possibility of this coming child to have a chance at life, and I can't say the solution is the right one, I believe there can be middle ground, but I also can't see either side as "evil" because both of their beliefs are valid and I'm not an omniscient being to decide whether which side is more right or wrong, we're only human.

@@Nyoterasu To argue for a pro-life position, you would need to consider a zygote (a bundle of cells that have yet to develop a brain or nerve endings and certainly do not yet have any thoughts or feelings) to have the same moral rights as a fully grown, sentient human, and these rights must outweigh the right of the mother to have an abortion. Your argument doesn't substantiate either. Simply the potentiality for a life to come into existence is not sufficient grounds to advocate for anything. I could have had many children already if I wanted to. Am I to be considered guilty for preventing the existance of these "potential" children? There is no meaningful reason to cut off this "potential life" argument at the moment of conception. Is it not horrible that every celibate is killing great amounts of their sperm and eggs, all of which "could have" become children? The conclusions your argument leads to are absurd. And yes, it is about banning abortion. If you consider abortion to be morally acceptable, then you're pro-choice and considering the rights of the mother - you probably want it to be easily accessible and part of basic health care. If you're pro-life, you consider abortion to be morally wrong and belive mothers shouldn't have them - so really, you aim to either ban them, make them very difficult to get or discourage them by all means. There really is no gray area there - either a zygote is a person, or they're not. It's either ok to kill them, or it's not. There may be extreme circumstances which would make a pro-life person deem abortion to be acceptable, but it would be a begrudging acceptance - an evil which has to be tolerated. They would still oppose general, widespread access to abortion, which is the key issue here.

If there's one singular word that describes my feelings about this entire situation, it's disappointment. On all fronts. At Scott because of the political donations he made, at the people that sent him death threats and paint him as a homophobic monster, at the fans that give blind support without acknowledging that the LGBTQ community has a valid reason to be upset. It's exhausting and a perfect demonstration that the world is not simply good and evil like we want it to be sometimes. For my part, i will still continue to support the franchise as a whole, because while Scott has been just one guy developing these games for a long time this is no longer the case. The books have multiple authors, Security Breach is developed by Steel Wool, the movie by Blumhouse and the Fanverse Project primarily benefits the fan creators. Scott's retirement makes this somewhat easier. Scott will surely still recieve money, though i do believe his retirement will stick with him announcing a successor soon, but Five Nights at Freddy's as a franchise is no longer entirely about Scott like it used to be.

He basically complained about being under attack for being a christian and a republican. Even though that's not what people had a problem with. Then when that statement didn't work he just decides to retire with his millions of dollars. It sucks that he was doxed and threatened.

9:13 "I'm a republican. I'm a Christian." Call me a cynical asshole, but these two factors are the reason, why I wasn't really surprised abut Scott supporting people like Trump. Don't get me wrong, I get why people are upset - but I'm surprised that people seemed to act as if this was something out of the blue. The guy made christian games on massè, no one should be surprised that he puts politicians with "christian" values over those that actually support LGBT+ rights. And I honestly don't believe him, when he basically claims that he made these decisions from an economical standpoint - he voted/donated based on the values he sees as most important, and those are conservative christian ones. --- Regarding wether it's okay to buy FNAF games or not - it's honestly a tough question and I'm glad you made clear that it's okay to still buy these games if someone really wants to buy them, as well as adding your reasons why you won't buy them any time soon. I have to pre-face - while I support the LGBTQIA-community and trans-rights, I'm a cis, (most likely) hetero man; so I don't have the same stakes like an actual transperson for example. It's likely that I, for some people, have no right to say something in that regard due to these factors. Also, I never bought any of the FNAF games, so it would be way too easy for me to say that I won't buy any of them in the future and everyone else shouldn't either. I think, the most moral decision would be to never buy any of his games or other merch and I don't blame anyone for doing so. Even applauding. But I'm weak, and I guess also somewhat of a hypocrite - as a huge H.P. Lovecraft-fan, who is aware who Lovecraft was and what he stood for, it would be hypocritical for me to advocate boycotting Scott while still buying anything under the sun that has the words "lovecraftian" in it. It's a very similar situation to J.K. Rowling - on one hand, it's a franchise that many people still enjoy to this day, on the other hand you don't want to support people like Rowling, Lovecraft or Cawthon and what they stand for. In the end, I can't outright say that it's "the right decision" to not buy anything related to FNAF. It's the most moral decision, because that money still goes to people like Cawthon and Rowling, indirectly supporting the people they support. But I think, no one should expect everyone else to do so, because these franchises are so near and dear to many people that it would be like expecting everyone to go 100% vegan. (I'm using an exaggerated example btw, I tend to use these)

I agree that it maybe shouldn't have come as a surprise. Still I, along with a lot of other people, gave him some benefit of the doubt. Personally I didn't want to judge him for something I didn't know was absolutely the case. It's a difficult issue, for sure. I feel that one has to look at things like these one a case by case basis. Lovecraft, for example, isn't alive anymore. He isn't benefiting from his work anymore, and since it has basically become it's own subgenre it's a little easier to pick and choose what lovecraftian fiction you want to consume. J.K. Rowling, who's alive and who's still writing harmful things about LGBTQIA people, is obviously a different thing. Still, boycotting Lovecraft's work is just as valid as boycotting Rowlings, I feel. If you only want to boycott one of them, that's fine to. As long as you can explain to yourself and others why you think it's okay or not.

“The fall of the Roman Empire shows why gay marriage will end in a disaster” Rome fell in 459, about a century after it legally banned homosexuality and anything even remotely reminiscent of “gay marriage” (the question of whether it EVER had gay marriage in the sense that we think of the term is also dubious, complicated and fiercely debated by classicists and historians btw). That means that during its most successful and prosperous years, Rome allowed homosexuality, and that AFTER it was criminalized was when it really started to unravel and ultimately collapse. Regardless, the whole idea is moot because the collapse of Rome had nothing to do with morality, sex, or cultural mores, it had to do with structural flaws within the imperial system, inability to form a standing army of citizens and reliance on foreign mercenaries creating a massive debt crisis, a MASSIVE refugee crisis from Goths fleeing Atilla the Hun, destructive civil wars prompted from legitimacy crises, and things like that. You know- actually dire situations with objectively bad consequences… But even so, if you’re going to make a bullshit post hoc propter hoc argument you should ATLEAST make sure you get the order of events correct.

So, I dive in in the situation and I feel safe to share my POV of the situation. Before that I need to clarify some stuff: First, I don't consider myself a FNAF fan. I always respected the franchise and Scott for being an example for how a game developer should be. I'm mentioning that before I want to make it clear that I'm not saying what I'm saying with nostalgia glasses. Second, I do NOT agree with his actions. Those politicians have shown anti-LGBTQ+ statements and Scott should have put more thoughts if this was a good idea or not. With that being said, I don't consider Scott being a bad person. In his Reddit post he made it clear that the reasons why he donated to those politicians wasn't linked with the LGBTQ+ community at all. Now many people said that, if you showed your support to someone, than you stand for everything that he/she said. While your support helps every aspect of the spectrum, politics are much complicated than that. Politicians always did or do stuff that is controversial or not right at all. All you can do is to pick the lesser evil or not be implicated in politics at all. And if you want to help your country, you had to help politicians. There's no other option. And if Scott felt like some stuff other politicians said would harm the community, than he shouldn't support them. Again, I do not agree with his actions and I also agree with the fact that Scott has his heart in the right place considering that he wanted to help those politicians in order to help others. And how much do you think these politicians would have actually affected the LGBTQ+ community? I don't know about you, but the community doesn't seem to pull back at all. Also, I would like to brought up Scott's $50,000 donation to The Trevor's Project. This project is meant to help the LGBTQ+ people. In total, this donation (with all the money sent at once) is bigger than all of the money he gave to politicians (from time to time). I brought that up because I don't think he did that to save his image, considering that it was originally an anonymous donation, but I don't think a homophobic person would give so much money to this charity. Scott should just be told that his actions aren't right. But, calling him a bad person after all that he did in the past is not right. Criticism shoul be used to improve, not to cancel people. But, unfortunately, people blew it out of proportion to the point he decided to retire (maybe he had that plans for a long time and the timing is a coincidence). And no! Be getting doxxed should not be considered a succes, but a failure considering that we should help people to change for the best. And his family shouldn't suffer for that. Overall, Scott isn't a bad person. He just wanted to help, but his actions weren't right. Also, I appreciate you for making this video! I needed a lot of study to come to know the controversy better and to come to a conclusion and this video certainly helped.

Just keep your opinions to yourself then. I'm fucking sick of seeing cishets fall back on "I don't think he's a bad person, he just made a mistake, let me waste your time by typing out a thesis of why you should listen to me and stop being mean to Scott" bullshit. You don't get to tell us how to feel or shame us for not sharing your shit opinion. It doesn't matter if *you* think Scott's a "nice guy". He fucked up, dug in his heels and said, "Yeah I did what I did and I'm not sorry about it". He's basically saying, "Yes I donated to anti-LGBT+ politicians and I don't care." (Honestly he should've just said, "Fuck you queer fans, I got mine!") And him donating $50k to The Trevor Project doesn't absolve him of what he did, it doesn't make up for it, and it doesn't change him saying "I'm not apologizing for donating to people who actively want to harm you and strip you of basic human rights that I already have as a cishet white man", because it's obvious he did it in order to get back into our good graces. Just as he used LGBT+ fans as his personal shield in his "Retirement" post, saying he got an outpouring of love from many members of my community which reads as "See! These queer fans still like me! Why can't you change your mind and forgive me???" Cishet bootlickers like you need to learn to shut the fuck up and stop using tone-policing and respectability politics to silence us and gaslight us for not doing what *you* did, which was immediately forgive Scott, or handle the situation with kid gloves by protecting Scott and giving him grace (that only seems available to cishet folks) like MatPat and Dawko, and every other cishet KZbinr that also conveniently calls themselves our "allies". Stop telling us how we should've reacted and how we need to feel because it makes *you* feel bad when it exposes people like you and Scott as the performance artists you really are.

Your actions enter in contradiction with what you think. I just don't understand why you did that. And I didn't demanded at any time to anyone to listen to me. I'm just a guy telling what I think and who wants to listen, good, and who doesn't want, still good. I don't told anyone to share my opinion and I didn't blame anyone for not sharing my opinion. At the end of the day, I'm not more important than anyone in this comment section. All my criticism goes against people who attacked him and said stuff like "I hope your wife will abort" and stuff like that (that doesn't include people that are disappointed by his actions). When you response at bad with bad, you just prove that you are not better than the one you are criticizing. Scott explained why he donated in the first place and not at any point he said that he tried to erase the LGBTQ+ community from the face of the Earth. He donated for improving the live of the black community and for protecting the country against the enemies. He also noted that other politicians had nicer things to said about the queer community, but he thought that they might harm them more. He actually said that in the Reddit post. He might not stand by their views but his money were sent with the idea that politicians will only use the money to what they said they will do after they will become leaders. And, as far as I know, most of their controversial views didn't entered in their promises, but only in their bumd speeches, so no money would have been sented to anti-LGBTQ+ campaigns. You said at one point that him donating to the Trevor Project doesn't solve anything. So you think those $50K plus what people donated on that live stream doesn't help the community at all? You know, the money that he donated over time have prooven to be useless for the politicians cuz they've lost anyways. Have you ever thought that he might have thought like: "Ok, I'm aware where my donations went, but I think I should have atleast tried to donate to the causes that the politicians don't support so I can have both the assurance that the politicians will do what they promised without hurting anyone". I'm sorry, but I find the lack of appreciation for the donation disturbing, like you are saying: "I don't care he is helping the comunity at all". I'm optimistic that you just didn't said what you actually wanted to said. I do thing signs of change for the better should be encouraged. You can't jump over this paragraph if you want cuz it doesn't really add to the discussion. About the "cishet white man" thing... Do you realise that saing that white man are bad is insulting for the white folks that are trying to help marginalized groups? Like you can lose supporters like that. Now his retirement kinda feel definitive by this point. We didn't heard anything from him in a lomg time and the controversy is now long gone so he would have returned by now if it was just a false statement. And about queer fans, he donated to queer creators in the past and they've said that he was respectful. So, no. He isn't homophobic. He would have do his best to avoid them at any cost if that was the case. And I'm sorry, but if the queer fans can forgive him, then we should take their opinions in consideration cuz they are the community in question. I don't say the one that don't agree with him aren't valid. I'm just saying that the LGBTQ+ opinions vallue more than people outside the the community in that case. And your last paragraph did said something that you are not able to actually know, but just assuming you are right: that I "immediately" protected Scott. Let me begin by reminding you that I am not a FNAF fan, so there wouldn't be any emotional reflex to make me jump straight with the conclusion. I have been loking for info and opinions about the controversy for a few days before I came to a conclusion. And, again, I'm not forcing anyone to do what I think it's right. In fact, if someone thing something it's right and he/she don't do anything about it, than that person is a bad person. Also, your assumption that cishet people are the only one protecting Scott. I've seen and even you mentioned that people from the LGBTQ+ community are supporting him. So no. It isn't just one type of person thing. For the last, I hope that explains better over what I feel for the situation. I hope we can at least have a civilized disagreement and we can be more civilized to one another. Looking over my response, I hope I didn't said anything to insult you, but if you did get insulted, then I let you know that this wasn't my intention and I'm sorry. Lease teach me respectfully as I tried and help me fix my wrongdoing if you find any. I believe, as human beings, we can all fix one another to have more better people than just erase the bad ones and remain with the same amount of good people on Earth. Kind regards!

I agree with what you said in the video and I think you handled this very well. Honestly I believe Scott isn't a bad person, just misguided. My main issue with the controversy is how most people just don't want to hear the other side. I've seen so much hatred from both sides and it sucks. I believe people should form their own opinions on issues like this and they shouldn't be hated for it. Whether you don't want to support Scott or you want to continue supporting him is completely okay, no one should try to tell you you're a bad person either way.

I don’t think every member is a bad person (though, to my knowledge, every current member in congress is), and I don’t think Scott is either. I think he’s a man who’s unfortunately found himself in a situation where he falsely believes the word of liars and isn’t able to comprehend the harm he’s doing. That doesn’t make him a bad person, it just makes him deeply flawed, as we all are.

Thank you for this video Pim! I'm glad to see someone who is actually part of the LGBT+ community (a fellow enby like me) speak up about this, and call out the bullshit, unlike the typical responses we got from cishet "allies" like Dawko and MatPat where they over-extended themselves to protect Scott, opting to treat him with kid gloves, and affirm that "while I don't agree with what he did, I still support him and the games" which didn't shock me at all, because no matter how much cishet "allies" want you to believe that they're "on your side" and "care about you", they will protect their cis-heteronormative peers first every time. Yeah, it sucks Scott received death threats, but I can't forgive him for what he did. He proved that his "support" of the LGBT+ community was a lie and meant nothing with how recently he donated money to politicians looking to punish us for being ourselves and existing. You don't get to donate to The Trevor Project and say "I'm an ally of queer folx", while also donating money to the likes of Tr*mp, Carson, McConnell and their ilk. You literally can't claim to care about us, while then donating to organizations looking to exterminate us. That's not how it works. Doxxing and death treats are not okay, but cishet people also do not get to tell LGBT+ folx how we should feel or that we can't be angry when an "ally" actively fucks us over. I don't feel sorry for Scott because his harassment ended pretty quickly, and he's going to be fine in the long run. It's LGBT+ folx who are going to suffer in the long run because of the politicians he donated money too, and still have to deal with fair-weather allies turning on us when we behave in a manner they don't approve of, and decide we deserve harassment for it. We will always have to deal with harassment for who we are. Scott doesn't.

So? Watch the video again. Suddenly donating to a pro-LGBT+ organization does not automatically negate all of the money donated to anti-LGBT+ politicians looking to strip us of basic human rights and protection, nor does it "prove" that Scott is suddenly rethinking his stance which he made abundantly clear in his first post that he has no intention of changing. All it does is prove that Scott is aware of the backlash and valid criticism he got from the LGBT+ community, and is swiftly attempting to remain in our good graces by making a pittance of a donation to a pro-trans organization. ($50k is not much considering how much he has because of his cash cow franchise.) And, as Pim pointed out, these charities would not be needed if cishet people just showed kindness and empathy to the LGBT+ community in the first place, instead of demonizing and othering us, and attempting to eradicate us. You cishets will cling to doing the bare fucking minimum as "proof" of your "support" of my community, and it's gross how many people will let you get away with it because we've been so thoroughly beaten into acceptance of meager scraps. So no. Who cares if he donated to the Trevor Project? He did it out of fear of being "cancelled" (again, as Pim stated, no one is going to cancel Scott because no one actually cares that much that he donated to an actual fascist and his cronies) and because he's trying to get back the goodwill he lost. Fuck Scott.

I’m sure you know this cause you seem to have tons of knowledge of this series already(Which is a reason this video is so good!), but the newer fnaf games aren’t developed only by Scott. FNAF HW and FNAF SB are made by Steel Wool Studios. An indie company, but still a company with more than one person working on it. Scott seems to have creative control and collaboration on these projects. But he is not the sole developer anymore. The FNAF mobile game Special Delivery is made by Illumix, another company. Scott also at one pointed posted that a AAA FNAF game associated with Universal was planned. Even though FNAF had started out as an indie franchise, it has become part of the gaming industry system that you talked about. Does a portion of the money still go to Scott? Yeah, currently it does. But I think if it does in the future will depend on the nature of Scott’s retirement.

Your personal politics very much influences what you even define as “decency”. In Scott’s case, the decent thing was to give money to people who hate trans people, who’ll refuse them the medical care they need, refuse them their rights and even their existence, and leave them in the gutter. That’s the only lack of decency here. It’s very easy to ask if we can “look past the politics” if those politics don’t affect you. Not everyone has that luxury.

Lesson learned - if your shitty political and moral beliefs (he said he was pro-life, yikes) come to light AFTER you've built up a considerable fanbase, it's all fine and everyone will conveniently compartmentalise art from creator while continuing to produce FNAF content and milk the franchise's popularity for views. I don't think I've seen a single of the major channels that built their following on (or pivoted towards making) FNAF content take a real stand and stop covering the series. The biggest joke was when MatPat made a video denouncing Scott's actions, yet said that he would continue making FNAF videos "for the community", carrying on as if nothing happened. Does it not occur to him that he's basically a walking advertisement for Scott and his IP at this point? I guess money has the final word.

I'm not trying to attack you, please understand that what I'm about to comment I want to do it respectfully I really have no intentions to hurt anyone in any way but let me ask the following questions, in your opinion, should all of these people who have made some sort of content and gotten something out of it get rid of everything they've done? this being, all of the fnaf fangames, fnaf fanmade vhs tapes, fnaf songs, and even fnaf inspired projects such as Harmony and Horror and walten files, all of these people who put a lot of effort into doing something unique, not even directly supporting the original creator, should just give up on everything they've worked on because of something someone else did they had no control over?, please understand that I'm not trying to say you're absolutely wrong and I'm right, I'm jus trying to share another point of view on this. my point is, if someone does or gets something inspired or based on FNAF, should they stop doing that because someone else did something they had no control over. E.g. if someone was developing a fnaf based game and put a lot of effort into it but just realized what Scott had done, should they cancel the project? I'm not trying to say you're wrong to stop supporting the franchise that's your choice, I just want to have an honest discussion.
@Halucygeno2 жыл бұрын
@@EduardoMartinez-rs3bu Short answer, no. You don't need to delete all your past content or stop being inspired by FNAF because the author turned out to be a prick. Long answer, you definitely should STOP ASSOCIATING with them afterwards. Make all the fangames you want, keep your old videos, but making new videos about the FNAF lore (cough cough MatPat cough) or speculating about the new Security Breach DLC while acting like the whole "donated thousands of dollars to Donald Trump" thing is water under the bridge is just intellectual cowardice. They ARE acting as a conduit for Scott's intellectual property, they're basically free advertising. I guess these days everyone has completely lost faith in boycotts as a practice, but I'm not even concerned about effectiveness at this point. If you stop making FNAF content, I seriously doubt it will cut into Scott's bottom line (it's a phenomenon, a franchise too big to fail), but it will at least show that you're principled. If I was a dev working as part of the "Fazbear Fanverse Initiative", I'd quit. I'd still work on and release the fangame, but I sure as hell wouldn't do it with funding from a Trump supporter (I don't know how much the Fanverse Initiative devs get paid, maybe I'd change my tune if it was life-saving stuff and they needed it to work on the games full-time or something). I find it appalling that Phisnom (the FNAF+ dev) had a falling out with the fandom after the release of Security Breach, and NOT when it turned out his source of funding is an unabashed conservative. Finally, let's not delude ourselves. Some have defended Scott on the grounds that he's a private individual with entitlements to his own opinions. On one hand, yes, he is an individual. On the other, whether he likes it or not, he is a public figure: an owner of a hugely profitable multimedia franchise with countless merchandising deals. He isn't a scrappy underdog indide-dev making games from his bedroom anymore, he is partnering with studios to release games for all major platforms. People cannot just be totally nonchalant about the political views of someone this influential. I'm not saying "go doxx him". I'm not saying "go harass him on his social media". I'm not saying "delete every FNAF video you've ever made". I'm not saying "stop being inspired by the FNAF aesthetic and gameplay style". I'm saying "stop making content promoting the main FNAF series, and if you absolutely have to mention it for some reason, remind people that the author spent their FNAF money donating to anti-trans politicians". And I'm sorry if this comes off as condescending, but giving up on FNAF really isn't the end of the world. I'm very young, and even I know that fandoms come and go, you move on, life continues. There are many, many things out there you can take inspiration from which aren't made by shitty people (or at least openly shitty people). These KZbin channels aren't continuing to make FNAF content because it's the only interesting horror game in existence. Thare are plenty of other, more niche horror fandoms they can branch out to; most FNAF KZbinrs actually already do this, posting videos about less known horror games between their main FNAF uploads. So why not just stop doing FNAF and fully jump ship to horror variety content? Because the huge FNAF fandom rakes in the views, and they have no principles. It's as simple as that.

@@Halucygeno Hello, first of all, thanks for replying, I think you are an understanding person, and I'm grateful that your response was so respectful, I hope that you keep on understanding I just want to try to share my point of view and not trying to attack or harm anyone, so I keep on replying in hopes to develop a civilized discussion. So if we forget FNAF for a moment, let's say that hypothetically I am a very huge fan of Arcane, it is one of my favorites shows of all time and as for today, there hasn't been any sort of controversy on the creator. So let's say that I hypothetically I consume Arcane, content, music, videogames, and merch. Years go by, and by let's say 2035, it is revealed that the creator of the show molested several people at some point between this time. So should I in your opinion, stop supporting the franchise the moment I find out, even though this event happened way before it was revealed, meaning that it was okay to like and support it when I was shielded behind the protection of ignorance? I mean, you say that there are other content creators who aren't aholes that we can support, but that's only as far as we know, and we would have to dispose of each of them when they're revealed to have done something terrible. So as for now we are allowed to like all of those other content creators, but as they are revealed to have done something bad we take them out of that list, and as for the shield of ignorance I mentioned earlier, if someone tested a game and they thought it was truly enjoyable while being shielded by ignorance that at that time people didn't know what the creator had done. But someone else finds out about the game after the reveal of this event, they are no longer allowed to try it. But if they had tried it a day prior to the announcement of the actions of the creator it would have been okay
@EduardoMartinez-rs3bu2 жыл бұрын
Sorry for replying twice but if the comment is too long KZbin will delete it. So all of those other content creators who as for today have not yet been known to have done anything terrible we are still allowed to enjoy, we'll be allowed to enjoy them today and we'll be allowed to enjoy them tomorrow, but if by 23rd September of 2024 one of them does something terrible, it takes away our possibility to keep consuming it. Like all of those content creators that today we are allowed to enjoy and consume we are bound to wait for them to do something bad for it to not be a possibility for us anymore. So it's always going to be up to the creators whether we are allowed to consume their products or not. Not up to us, the range of things we are allowed to like is not up to us, it depends on something we have no control over. They, the creators have the power to take all of that away from us and we have no power over it. And I am so truly sorry to contradict you but I don't think there's anything simple about this matter.

@@Halucygeno you also mentioned something very interesting, how if you must talk about the creator then you must also talk about what they did. This could also be a way of dealing with the problem. A real example, JK rolling is a terrible person, and when you support, the franchise you support her, but what if for every mention you do of the Franchise, you also do mention of the terrible things she's done. That way people know about the franchise but are also aware of the creator's action. And if we speak monetarily, what if they also support LGBTQ communities while supporting merchandise of Harry Potter. Example, if they buy a $50 dollar item, they also give $80-100 to a community that supports the LGBT community.
