Five Nights At Freddy's creator, Scott Cawthon, has retired from game development

Cancel culture and those who bitch about people who don't agree with their thoughts and agendas?
I thought this was America, not Germany during the Third Reich.

Cancel culture can fuck itself.

Scott is being "canceled" because his fan base, which consists of a lot of LGBT individuals and allies, don't want to give money to someone who is going to turn around and give some of that money to a former president who literally took rights away from the LGBT community (not to mention the other atrocities committed by the former president). That's completely fair. People have as much a right to not want to spend their money on Scott as Scott has a right to give money to politicians.

It seems to me that whining and complaining about the condemnation of Scott, but not what Scott himself did, is the only double-standard "bitching" I've heard so far.

Actually most of his community defended him. I'd like to say about 5% dissed him

So is it possible for someone to hate Trump, but have non-liberal views and not be shat on and crucified in 2021? I'm genuinely curious. I wasn't aware people could have non-liberal views, as that's apparently tantamount to treason. And here I thought this country had a two party system, not 1984 bullshit.

Edit: When people have right-leaning beliefs, and hate Trump, and still get shat on because they think all people who vote Republican or have Repub views are evil can all fuck off.

It doesn't matter what percent of his fans are mad. Those who are mad are justifiably mad.

Well social media seems a lot like the third reich when you don't support the majorities' views.

I'm not going to engage in hypotheticals about people who identify as "non-liberals" or have "right-leaning" beliefs. It's irrelevant to the conversation and has nothing to do with what I've been talking about, but you seem to be trying to pull me into it.

If you want to be much more specific, I might be willing to engage.

What's the point? Like, seriously, what's the fucking point in engaging at all?

What's the point in engaging your apparent whataboutism? I have no idea.

That entirely depends if you mean "non-liberal views" or "shitty fucking bigotry".

People nowadays say "being Republican automatically makes you a bigot" there's no middle ground or in-between. It's "be a liberal or you're automatically bigoted" bullshit.
You know what I say to that? Fucking. Bullshit.

"Oh no, someone has right beliefs, he's automatically a bigot, let's assume everyone with right beliefs is the same way and let's verbally crucify them"

Yeah, political discussions with one sided beliefs can suck it.

That's literally why I asked and made the distiction, but thanks for the rant.

I don't think anybody said or implied these things in the context of this conversation.

The former president engaged in deplorable and anti-LGBT behavior, and Scott financially supported him. He rightfully deserves condemnation, and that's the issue.

Anytime. I'll remember that being anything but a liberal is a crime and people who don't have liberal views should all be shat on and ostracized for all being bigots. Gotcha.

It's as if you read what people wrote and magically interpret it to mean the opposite.

Maybe the problem we're having here is based on your actual views. Let's put it in a simple way shall we?

If your "political opinion" equates to an existing "-ism" or "-phobia" it is, by definition, bigotry.

And do I look like I'm a bigot? No, I'm not, so back off already.

You're the one who came in attacking me and accusing me of shit I wasn't doing, so feel free to go fuck yourself.
