Do You think that scott donations to charity are actually honest or just a display of artificial empathy?is a difficult topic because of course even if it is done to show off is still a very helpful way to give resources to the people that need it however sometimes you're not helping to solve the problem just giving temporary support like his donations to lgbt groups or support for people living in poverty. "Call me a communist when i ask why they have no food."
in america, donating to non-profit charities can be deducted from your taxes, and from my limited understanding the more you donate the less tax you have to pay, up to a certain point. this is a way lots of rich people like scott avoid or lower their taxes while also looking good publicly.
but like you said, its done for show. the thing is that any rich person donating to charity like this are mishandling their money--they donate to the band-aid over the wound, not towards healing the wound itself. and worse, bigots like scott cawthon will use his money and voting power to cause the very problems hes pretending to care about by donating to them. its literally to just cover his sorry ass because "no i actually really do care about minorities despite me licking trumps boots and insisting that the economy is more important than bodily rights!" fucking pathetic
First real post I am making on this site and I am fucking pissed off about TCA&L because I expected more from it. (Disclaimer I didn't play it because I'm poor and only have a macbook) Nothing fucking fazed me and the writing is so mid. And I wouldn't be so mad if the fans didn't put this shit on a pedestal and gave it 10/10s. Seething with boiling rage.
From all the praise it was getting I was expecting a calf's head slathered in the blood of the farmer's firstborn, dipped in gravy (that is made of what remained of 20 malnourished children that were fed to a politician), and topped off with the feathers of an extinct parrot species from a country that doesn't exist anymore. All I got was a damn roasted chicken covered in piss! If anyone wants to send me death threats or whatever over this then ya'll are massive pussies.
Most likely. Dude gave thousands of bucks to him and his pals.
Y'all think scott voted for trump again?
Scott Cawthon is not your friend. He is a business man.
Okay so most people are probably gonna ignore this but I've gotta say it anyway cuz it's important.
FNAF fans have been queerbaited on an EXTREME level and this fandom is stupid for not realising that. And the worst part is, there are a lot of LGBTQ+ people turning a blind eye to blatant homophobia and transphobia in the community as if it's not doing them any harm (but it very much is).
As much as I love Five Nights at Freddy's, the fandom should NOT have turned a blind eye to Scott Cawthon donating to a bunch of homophobes and transphobes. I know it was a long time ago, but even back then, no one seemed to really care and, honestly, what he did is not something that can be forgiven, especially considering how he responded to the allegations.
For those who don't know, in 2021, Scott Cawthon's political donations list was publicised on Twitter, revealing that he had donated money to several homophobic and transphobic politicians, such as Donald Trump and Mitch McConnell.
His response to this was that he "chose to support the candidates he felt were best to run the country", proceeding to share his support for the Republican party and refusing to apologise for supporting them.
But, of course, he also said that he "loves his LGBTQ+ fans" and that he is "grateful for the support from his LGBTQ+ fans".
And, of course, many of the characters from FNAF are implied LGBTQ+. Mangle, Funtime Foxy, Springbonnie and Lolbit don't have confirmed genders. Glamrock Freddy and Glamrock Bonnie were implied to have been a gay couple. So OBVIOUSLY he supports gay and trans people, right?
This is one of the most extreme cases of queerbaiting you will ever see. Actions speak louder than words. Scott Cawthon can say whatever he wants about supporting gay people but he has admitted and proved that he will always choose to give money to the people that want us dead, rather than the very few people in power who actually do good for us. Saying that you support gay people does not mean that you actually do.
I'm not gonna say people are entitled to their own opinions because, quite frankly, some opinions stink. If you seriously think that supporting Republicans isn't doing damage to the LGBTQ+ community then fuck you. I'm not usually political but it's so blatantly clear that Republicans want gay and trans people dead, and every time you donate money to them or even show them support, you help them with that cause. So fuck you. And fuck Scott Cawthon. Because he did the same and then tried to cover it up.
"The support of my LGBTQ+ fans means a lot to me" is actually such an awful thing to say considering that your LGBTQ+ fans need your support so much more than you need ours, but you refuse to give it to them and then pretend that you do. And you have to admit that it is suspicious how he chose to announce his retirement just days after this came out. I'm not saying that he isn't retiring to spend more time with his kids like he said. But there's definitely more to it than that, considering how angry he was at being cancelled.
I am, however, going to keep in mind that he was doxxed because this was completely wrong, no one deserves to be threatened or for their family to be threatened, but it's as though he's using that as an excuse to be forgiven by the fandom because he knows he's done something wrong and just doesn't want to apologise for it.
Something to always keep in mind: people who do bad things should always apologise. If they don't, or if they disguise denying they did anything wrong as an apology, they don't deserve your forgiveness.
And it just upsets me that there are so many LGBTQ+ FNAF fans that choose to ignore this. To those of you that this applies to, I URGE you to wake up and realise that he is helping the fight to get rid of the rights that we had to fight so hard for.
In short, Scott Cawthon is a homophobic and transphobic republican who pretends to be supportive of the LGBTQ+ community so that he doesn't lose fans because he knows what he does is wrong, but refuses to apologise for it.
So go ahead, continue to support Scott Cawthon, but just know that he probably doesn't support you back as much as you think he does.
it’s been over three weeks since the electric state came out and i’m still tweaking over the fact michelle’s girlfriend wasn’t in the film 💔💔
my little lesbian i love her 👩❤️💋👩👩❤️💋👩👩❤️💋👩
Imagine washing up on Dinotopia and getting a talk saying "unfortunately, you can't escape this island! You'll never go home or see your loved ones ever again" & then while you're crying they say "I'm sorry, you'll just have to live on the island of dinosaur communism for the rest of your life" and you look up through your bleary eyes and go. Wait what
if you still support wilbur soot after both shubble and alice's stories, you cannot claim that you support victims. You dont support victims. Two victims came forward with proof of knowing Wilbur, most of his former friends and content creators came forward against him, if you still support him despite all of this, despite the fact that it came forward that he sexually assaulted someone, YOU cannot say you support victims. Because you don't support victims. Fuck you if you still support Wilbur Soot. Anyone whose on the white boy rapist defense team can block me and go step on a rusty needle.
SUPPORT SHELBY SHUBBLE. SUPPORT ALICE. SUPPORT VICTIMS. AND FUCK YOU, WILLIAM GOLD.
Scott Cawthon is probably going to vote Trump again and make life harder for a huge chunk of his fans.
The only stuff that made it from the book into the movie are some of the aesthetics, Michelle's name, and her motivation to find her brother.
List of stuff down below of what the book had that the movie didn't have. Spoilers for people who haven't read the book. (Read the book it's great)
There is no AI.
All the robots are controlled by humans.
The USA had a civil war that was fought by drone pilots who wore older versions of Neurocasters which required them to use addictive drugs that also destroyed their ability to reproduce.
People who wear the Neurocasters too long meld into a digital hivemind.
Neurocasters keeps the mind alive as long as it is worn. It does not protect the body from harm.
Graphic description of someone's brain getting chunkified by an anti-matter round.
Michelle's bio parents didn't die in a car crash. Instead her father is unmentioned (if I recall correctly) and her mom was a veteran who died from a drug overdose after being abandoned by the government. (foster parents "died" due to the Neurocasters)
Michelle dyed her blonde hair black because she wanted to distance herself from the "popular" girls and to spite her foster mom (who Michelle beat over the head with a lunch tray after she mocked her for wanting to dye her hair). Kind of important to her character. They keep her blonde in the movie for some fucking reason.
Michelle had a girlfriend who broke up with her after a crazy priest converted her. Heartbreaking to read.
Michelle found her brother's body rotting away in a house while wearing a Neurocaster. Still alive and in control of Cosmo.
It is implied that she and him rowed out into the ocean in a kayak to be swallowed by the waves.
Cultist working for the hivemind hunting for her brother as well, possibly what Giancarlo Esposito's character was based on though I doubt it.
This is a rant, just fair warning.
I feel like turkey tom is a fucking asshole of a youtuber. Any time he covers someone he just HAS to put certain things in a negative fucking light. And with how popular his channel is, I feel as though it's harmful.
He talks ill of transgender people, or puts anything related to trans people in a negative light (For example, the one video about a person named Poppy - I couldn't even get through the video - the introduction of it was that Poppy is transgender, a furry, and has "MPD", and then asks if you wanted a person like that to be your therapist. Like what the fuck?). He talks ill of furries (because having anthropomorphic animals as characters is such a bad thing right? and not just being a mascot for yourself or a story or anything? Like how sports teams have mascots..) He talks ill of any mental disorder out there and just stigmatises it. In the video about Poppy he says that OSDD is just "a mild reform of having multiple personalities-referred to as being 'plural'. The thing is being plural isn't recognised as being a real thing, at least not yet." (direct quote). He's spreading so much false bullshit. After hearing that part I was done with the video but this is not the first video I have heard. It's every single fucking one. I often let youtube just autoplay, and even asking youtube to not recommend that channel doesn't help, as his videos still pop up.
But the issue is he's spreading this hatred and false information to so many fucking people. He has (as of right now) 1.22 million followers. He's not using his platform and audience to do any god damn good. It's just fucking making fun of people. Not even informing or educating. And even if he directly isn't saying things like 'fuck trans people', because he correlates so much shit negatively, the audience might just connect it. The top comments on his videos are usually just full of hateful rhetoric.
When you click on newer comments theres good comments like how they wouldnt trust turkey tom on any mental health topic or like why does he have to be so hateful towards these things - but I feel like these comments get drown out by all the hateful ones.
He spreads misinformation. He spreads hatred. He reels people in with a documentary style video, but seeps the cracks with garbage. Like those videos of people using ramen to fix things. But even then its so obvious.
In conclusion, just. Fuck Turkey Tom. I genuinely dislike him as a youtuber.
