I love this shit
Love the puns from Pun Hub
Happy(?) Gold Morning! Here's the 'thing' I mentioned I was working on a few weeks back: a map of all canon endbringer attacks plus 25 ones I made up to fill gaps in the timeline. I love rolling dice to decide the fates of hundreds of millions of fictionalized people!
Making this map really showed the gaps in the distribution of attacks. Europe is massively overrepresented, as is the US East Coast, but South and Central America, and especially Africa, are pretty massively underrepresented. I'm sure there's probably a kinda-sorta explanation you can spin about the endbringers only attacking places Eidolon is likely to defend, or the Simurgh attacking places that are more geopolitically influential, but that rings hollow to me.
In order to do this I had to make a massive spreadsheet of all the known canon attacks, then figure out how many attacks realistically fit in the gaps (mostly in the 2004-2009 years), then come up with 'realistic' casualty estimates (which are probably way too high but I wanted this to be bleak, I guess). probably 10-15 hours just spreadsheeting. Anyway,I think I've rambled enough. Enjoy(?)
I think one of the biggest problems with the FNaF community right now is that a good amount of the fandom is no longer willing to hold Scott Cawthon accountable.
Like, ever since he announced his supposed retirement, people have been acting like he's a saint who made the perfect game franchise or who has never done shitty things to anyone.
I also think this is a result of this mindset that only good people create good things and that if Scott is a bad person, that also makes FNaF bad.
But regardless, we need to go back to taking Scott back down a peg because he is no longer the humble Christian guy struggling to make ends meet and support his family. He is the creator of arguably the biggest indie franchise in the world. And having that kind of power and influence changes a person. It certainly changed him.
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.
Maybe not all of his friends but a good chunk definitely. Also We*digoon is friends with Turkey Tom, that should be enough for anyone to disavow him.
I understand that IPOS' video isn't the best when it comes to being accurate but that doesn't change the fact that We*digoon is comfortable being friends with nazis, transphobes, and racists.
Unless We*digoon makes a video shitting on all of his bigot friends, then he's a bigot in my eyes. Doesn't matter if he's "nice" while sitting back as his friends openly desire killing queer people.
Best-case scenario: He is standing back as his friends joke about killing trans people.
Worst-case scenario: He's a slimy fuck who supports their ideals but hides it under his YT persona.
mouthwashing post. jimmy is a raging narcissist and im tired of people trying to give him benefit of the doubt. his inability to see two feet beyond what immediately concerns him dooms everyone on the tulpar, and even in the end, he only really cares about himself.
big list of all his narcisstic bullshit below bc im here to motherfucking prove it (mouthwashing spoilers of course)
most obviously: everything is a personal attack on him. EVERYTHING. you can see it most clearly at the birthday party; while everyone else is understandably freaking out about being laid off, jimmy starts telling curly off and insulting both him and everyone else at the table, as if being laid off is a personal attack on jimmy specifically. it doesn’t matter that anya has nothing to go back to, that swansea’s life is thrown away- jimmy is the ONLY victim here, apparently. curly is personally responsible for getting laid off, in his eyes.
i don’t actually know the words for this but the way he’s constantly going “i have to do EVERYTHING around here”- again, feeling like its a personal attack to be asked anything at all. anya asks him to take care of curly because her entire fucking life is falling apart, its her end of days, but somehow shes the villain for struggling.
also the general antagonization of anya. she’s extremely competent for the hand she was dealt! shes too poor to attend med school yet shes very knoqledgable in medication and wound care! and yeah no shit shes struggling now, someone she cared deeply about is suffering immensely and now the ship is being “run” by a man who assaulted her. no fucking shit shes breaking down. but jimmy makes it clear time and time again that this is somehow her fault, all this shit of “shouldn’t nurses EARN their titles?” while she’s having a mental breakdown.
similarly, swansea being villainized for holding the cryopod for daisuke and killing him. like, i get it, but jimmy’s whole thing of saying he can fix daisuke is… c’mon man. he’s a hero to himself, he “always” fixes things the same way he “fixed” the ship, and he will fix daisuke and claim heroism even though it’s very clear nothing else can be done for him.
“someday you’ll thank me” while forcing curly to eat his own leg. the incredible confidence that he is in the right even when literally torturing someone.
MOST IMPORTANTLY: the final scene with curly burning. jimmy doesn’t earnestly believe he has anything to be sorry for. even when apologizing to curly he says “we can BOTH be heroes!” despite everything, he still thinks he’s in the right. he STILL thinks he’s a hero, because he’s right, he’s ALWAYS right, surely. he can apologize and grovel all he wants but in the end he still thinks he’s the hero of this story; he doesn’t genuinely think he has anything to right, he’s only doing this to be freed of consequence. and/or believes a simple “sorry” is enough, that it can fix completely ruining the lives of four people with his own inferiority complex.
i do think the choice to put curly in the pod instead of himself is the only time he recognizes his own guilt, if any. maybe it’s realizing that he DOES need something more than a simple “sorry” to even begin to try to fix things, maybe it’s that he thinks this will cement him even further as a hero. even then, does this fix anything? all it’s doing is making curly suffer more. is this actually a good thing?
to him, he’s the hero here. he always is. crashing the ship is a heroic thing, putting all his crewmates through hell is a heroic thing. all because something nobody can control is somehow a personal attack on jimmy.
not to mention all the “hallucinations” he has- it’s what he thinks should happen, it’s what he wants to hear. curly still calling him a friend, the dead corpses of his crewmates praising him, even in the final cutscene with curly burning where he says “no, YOU take the pod”. none of it’s real. it’s just what jimmy thinks is “right”. despite everything, he thinks everyone should thank and praise him, because he can do no wrong.
conclusion: jimmy is a narcisstic piece of shit.
@randoms-random-blog-of-random since you were a coward and blocked me after whining on my post, i'm making this here for you and everyone else still defending scott cawthon in 2024 since yes i "found something" and i'm letting you know. also next time, if youre scared of debate, keep your shitty little opinions to yourself.
i made this post three years ago when scott posted it. its picking up notes again because his actions have been so washed over by people like you that there are fans today who had no idea and are discovering this for the first time. for three years his minority fans have been argued down and our feelings belittled by people like you.
this is not a reaction for notes or popularity or for "drama". scott cawthon has not changed, he has in fact doubled down on his feelings about being "cancelled" with his shitty self insert fanfiction Monster. scott cawthon didn't just make "dumb mistakes". im frankly stunned at your lack of reading comprehension, that or your willful ignorance. scott cawthon donated as much as he legally could to almost every dangerous bigot in power in the american government, and also to Trump himself, one of the biggest catalysts in the popularity of facism and radical bigotry, and who is a bigot and a rapist himself.
scott admitted in his post that he doesnt care about all of this, in fact he might agree with trump when he mentions he wants "america to be strong against its enemies" which i find interesting because if you remember the "enemies" that Trump insisted were a threat to america, it was all just racism. scott has a huge Mexican fanbase, and yet he insisted that Trump had a great foreign policy, Trump's foreign policy being that Mexicans are all drug lords and rapists. scott has a huge LGBT fanbase, and yet he insisted that actually the monsters in power who want to take our rights away are better for us
scott admitted that although other politicians have "nicer things to say" about his lgbt and minority fans, he claims to actually know whats better for us and that happens to be the american economy, not having our bodily autonomy. speaking of that, he admitted to being against the choice of abortion, he probably popped the biggest fucking bottles when Roe V Wade was overturned. and when people expressed that he was literally contributing to the oppression of 90% of his fanbase, he pretended he was being witch hunted just like his favorite president did. he cried cancel culture because he will not and probably will never actually reflect on his beliefs and actions. evangelical christians are kindof like that.
these aren't "dumb mistakes". these are purposeful, unapologetic actions he's taken to fund facism and bigotry in america. he knows this, he's an adult. he's also not just "some guy" anymore, he's a fucking billionaire. he owns probably the most popular indie IP in the world right now. we already were willing to give grace to scott's imperfections, but what cannot be tolerated is using thousands of his fans dollars directly against them. being anti choice, loving racist predators, and acting like you know better for minorities when youre a cishet white christian man is not "being imperfect", that's being a proud bigot. he and you can both pretend and delude yourselves into thinking he ~actually cares and is a nice guy~ but no one who ACTUALLY cares about basic human rights would proudly admit to literally being against them and supporting every GOP freak that is actively stripping human rights away. i dont know what more to say. if that's something you can ignore, you live with an immense amount of privilege.
also, its funny that youre asking for proof when scott's public political donations were brought up June 2021 and are the WHOLE REASON that scott even posted this on reddit in response to the backlash. it appears he's managed to scrub his own information off of opensecrets which is, fucking incredibly suspicious, but here's the original screenshot of some of his faves that he thinks are sooooo much better for minorities actually because theyll make the economy better and nothing else matters right? i cant imagine anyone who agrees with Mitch Mconnel actually gives a shit about you.
Also, I don't think I've played a group of games that fit together as amazingly as the Remedy games? Like, they're different series, but they mesh so well. Not even games in the same series, like Resident Evil or Silent Hill, fit as tightly or nicely as the games in the Remedy universe do
There is a poen called First They Came by Martin Niemöller that talks about people ignoring issues until it affects them directly,the fnaf fandom is just a microcosmos of this mentally but is worth pointing out, let scott do what he pleases with his money but do not think he will be your friend or supporter when the politics you help founding come back to bite your ass.
.......Guys, have we seriously just. Forgotten what Scott did.
What the fuck. What the fuck what the fuck what the fuck. Was there some grovelling I missed or something???? Or are we seriously just fully, completely ignoring that the ONE THING his shitty 'apology' actually said (he would be stepping back) was complete and utter bullshit????!
Look how they massacred my boy.
ALSO THEY DIDN'T CREDIT SIMON STALENHAG IN THE TRAILER.
Sigh. Is nothing sacred.
Tales from the Loop was amazing but this is the kind of thing that I don't think lends itself to a film adaptation. Especially not with Crisp Rat, especially especially not one with Crisp Rat directed by the Russos. Tonal change from the book is inevitable I fear.
