Besties I strongly dislike Scott Cawthon but the fnaf movie was good and I’m annoyed that it was good. Like. The joy I felt watching the movie (and also cried like twice cus it hit way too close to home as an older sibling) is unparalleled. But also. Scott Cawthon is an awful person and supports people who want me dead? And also doesn’t believe women should have the right to basic medical care? And. My feelings are so conflicting rn. I want to separate my love for the series from Scott Cawthon. But if I did that I wouldn’t be any better than HP fans.
I think it’s okay to have these complicated feelings and talk about them. I’m still trying to figure it out myself?
I guess the big difference between JKR and Scott is that he avoids talking about his opinions and the only reason we know these things is due to his voting record and who he gives money to (which btw I don’t believe donating to lgbt charities makes up for voting for the party that wants to commit genocide against us. It’s still shitty. Like yay he’s donating to the Trevor project but also. Damn voting for these people that want us to not have rights and don’t want us to be alive really hurts).
He is still actively harming the community. Even if he isn’t outwardly spewing hateful rhetoric (unless he’s gotten worse. Or unless his opinions have rapidly changed over the past couple of years. If so please feel free to correct me, just not without sources).
But his series has basically transcended his control. It’s not controlled by him. It’s controlled by the fans. Half the shit that’s canon now wouldn’t be canon without the fans and it’s this big collaborative effort and that’s what’s so beautiful about it. Unlike jkr whose views and specifically racism are baked into her properties.
But he still gets money from it.
And he could be using that money to support some really awful people.
Idk. It’s complicated.
I don’t like or support Scott Cawthon. But I love fnaf. I grew up with it. I love the community. And it really influenced my love for horror media. And gods this movie was great. I had such a good time watching it.
I don’t know what point I’m trying to get at.
I guess I’m just sorta venting.
It sucks loving something when it’s creator who actively gains money from it supports some truly awful people.
I want to be able to put my feelings aside so I can joyfully rant about this movie without mentioning “gosh I wish Scott wasn’t involved” but that obviously isn’t the case.
I don’t expect any response to this post. Im just sorta putting my feelings out there into the void. And if someone relates I hope they know they aren’t alone.
And if you’re gonna say something hateful or something that outwardly supports conservatives I will gladly block you. There is no excusing the active genocide being perpetrated by the Republican Party against the queer community, but more specifically trans people. And if you support that then you can gladly get the fuck off my page. I will not tolerate bigotry.
Also don’t harass anyone mentioned in this post. I really don’t want their fans to harass me and don’t want them to have a reason to. I’m not very popular but last time I posted about Scott I got a bunch of death threats from a bunch of middle aged white men and trolling teenagers. And I do not have the mental capacity to deal with that right now. I’m dealing with a nasty bout of Covid and a nicely sized second degree burn from a cooking accident on top of my chronic illness I don’t need to be harassed.
K thanks bye

Y’know in hindsight it’s wild that everyone was calling Scott Cawthon a genius when he so clearly had no fucking idea what he was doing. There was really a time where we said “Scott doesn’t do coincidences” when coincidences are literally how his story development worked.
People give Security Breach shit for fucking up the lore but the lore was fucked from the start. Tbh SB just gave us what the community had been wanting for a LONG TIME. We got free roam, we got animatronics with personalities, we got exploration and a clearly defined protagonist, if I’m honest, Security Breach is what the FNAF community had been fucking BEGGING FOR since the SECOND GAME. And just because it’s buggy and doesn’t fit into the already bullshit lore people hate it.
Y’all I’m sorry to say but even if Scott WAS running the project, Afton would probably have came back anyway. I hate that he’s back too, but I do not have an ounce of faith that Scott would have done better. Scott has always cared more about fucking with us than making a good story.

The truth about the FNAF franchise.
With it being Halloween and many people rushing to the cinema to watch scary movies I feel I should talk about Five Nights at Freddy's and lay out what I trully think about the franchise and it's fandom.
I didn't really get into FNAF until a couple of months before the first trailer of the movie dropped, I was not much into horror games and despite Freddy's popularity I didn't particulary cared about it. Until I found out about the main villian William Afton who I found to be extremly fun as a bad guy even if the fandom thought his "I always come back" thing was getting boring.
Long story short, I really got into the franchise after that and the wierd elements of the child-like innocence coupled with sheer malice was really suited for my tastes, but shorlty after the first movie trailer dropped I found some comment that mentioned a controversy regarding the franchise creator, Scott Cawthon.
It didn't elaborate but I decided to look into it and I found out that a huge portion of Scott's earnings was donated to various Republican party candidates. In other words, people like Donald Fucking Trump.
You can make a search for it yourself if you don't belive me, but those are facts no one can dispute at this point. And it was expossed about three years ago. Hell I'll even share a few links. And if you want to make an even deeper look into it then by all means go ahead, one source is not enough for a full research into things:
I don't live in the US, but it's still my buisness to oppose bigots like those guys who would gladly see it that LGBTIQ+ people aren't allowed to exist. Regardless of being part of that group or not, it still is basic human decency to oppose those who treat others like a plague to be exterminated.
You heard me, and I don't take that back. You don't need a death camp to call it that because a genocide is by definition a systematic erradication of a certain or various groups of people, regardless of it being overt or open.
That is why when I found out what happened I refused to go see the movie no matter how much I wanted to go see it because a part of the box office earnings would naturally go to Cawthon who, I'm sorry to break it to you, does NOT regret donating to all those bigots and will definitely do it again.
You know why? Because he will hide behind the "fun harmless horror video game" franchise that he created to get people to stop persuing him.
Now of course, I don't blame anyone who spent years and money on the franchise before all of that went public, people like Cawthon are exceedingly good at hiding how horrible they are as people and it's not your fault that you were fooled into beleving they weren't.
But after it all went public, a lot people either ignored that and turned a blind eye by spouting the same rethoric he tried to use or straight up acting as if it didn't happen in the first place. It's part of the reason why I didn't learn about it until a few months had passed.
So it's not a matter of what happened before it went public, but how the fandom reacted about it and how petty they were and what they still support even knowing the truth.
Sorry to say it but you can't call yourself an ally while still supporting bigots.
If you were new to the franchise like I was and this is how you found out, I'm sorry for the rude awakening, specially if you found this post shortly after seeing the movie. But it needed to be said.

"supposed" transphobe
asaik he has not said anything transphobic and jusr donated to donate to some alt right political figures
but he has also donated to some lgbt charrity, and while this doesnt automatically make him good
i still belive that the situation isntr as black and white as everyone puts it
He still donated money to alt right politicians tho. So like yeah it isn’t black and white but monetarily supporting transphobic, among other things, politicians and saying he doesn’t regret it isn’t exactly the best look ya know?

I just saw the FNAF movie (I was invited by the cinema to see it for free before you shout at me) and it’s actually surprisingly decent. I don’t know how someone who’s unfamiliar with the games would find it but I actually enjoyed myself. If you’re a fan of the games I would recommend you definitely do NOT download it illegally online *wink wink* because Scott Cawthon is a stinky Republican pro-lifer who DEFINITELY deserves your hard-earned money to spend on funding bigots *nudge*

With the new fn*f movie teaser out, just a little reminder than Scott Cawthon still gets money from it, and he's highly anti LGBTQIA+ and pro-trump, his money goes to anti-lgbtqia+/pro trump movements
⚠️ YOU CAN STILL LIKE FNAF, JUST DONT GIVE CAWTHON YOUR MONEY ⚠️

Scott Cawthon is the J. K. Rowling of viral horror. Both could easily have gone down in history as the most beloved content creators of their generation had they not outed themselves as bigoted scumbags and neither has ever been able to produce a good product outside of their main cash cow franchises, which proves how little writing skill they actually have when they aren't marketing to die hard fans and gullible children. Their work has had nothing but a negative impact on the mediums and genres they exist in and they're both directly and indirectly responsible for some of the market's worst trends. When their franchises finally lose all relevancy, they will be left with nothing.

Fnaf movie notes, spoilers ahead:
First off, fuck Scott Cawthon, let's just say I didn't watch the movie in theaters or on a streaming service.
What I liked:
Matthew Lillard actually looks like William Afton
The "Talking in Your Sleep" cameo was the best one of the movie, next to "I have a theory"
Cory was funny, as expected
I liked how they made the animatronics just kids, they want a friend.
The way the animatronics moved was great, I just wish we could have gotten a foxy running scene.
The cinematography and set design inside the pizzeria was great, and everywhere outside felt very real.
The animatronics were cute when I was supposed to like them and foreboding when I was supposed to be scared of them. I don't know if they physically changed the suits but it works.
Mike's actor was actually pretty good at looking distressed or upset.
I just want to hug the animatronics they are so cute 🥺🥺
The animatronics weren't sadistic, when they killed someone it was because they were trying to get them out or away. Just like if an actual little kid had that power, they wouldn't be cruel or even want to kill anyone, they just don't understand their own power
There actually were five nights!
Springtrap wiping the knife is a reference to Scream, where Matthew Lillard played Ghostface, who is known for wiping their knife after using it.
BALLOON BOY
What I didn't like:
You're telling me they named their main character Mike and they didn't have Afton go "MIKE! MICHAEL!!! MICHAEL DON'T LEAVE ME HERE!!!!! *MICHAEL!*
Vanessa was a nothing burger, even when her motivation was revealed it wasn't that good. I think it would have been better if they set up that she was working with Afton
Golden Freddy was everywhere but they didn't namedrop the kid once, and it was so inconsistent. He's here, he's not here. I'm assuming it's a combination of Cassidy and the Crying Child.
Afton's connection to the story is flimsy. Why was he pretending to be Raglan? I'm assuming it's so he could get night guards to toy with, that's why the animatronics killed the intruders but not Mike.
It's kind of weird thinking about the logic of how Afton killed Mike's brother, and gave his daughter the plane. Just seems a little bit of a stretch.
Even though I hate excessive gore, I thought there wasn't half as much violence as there should have been. I guess the PG-13 rating constricted a lot.
It takes a broom to activate what I'm assuming is a Circus Baby reference springlock, but Afton can jump around in Spring Bonnie.
The only Purple Guy reference we got was a purple tie. They should have made the security vest purple.
Questions
How is the cupcake sentient?
How does Afton control the kids?
Who cleaned up the blood of the four intruders? I'm guessing Afton but I wish they'd made it more clear
Why didn't Afton send out the animatronics on the first night? Even if he wanted to kill Mike, he seems like the type to psychologically torture people beforehand.
Why was there an "it's me" note? I get the reference, but why? Is Mike's brother here?
What's the Freddy mask with the saws inside? I know Afton uses it to kill people but why does it exist?
Why does Balloon Boy exist? Do the toy animatronics exist in this universe??
Why doesn't foxy have a tail?????
Favourite character: Foxy
If we get a sequel I hope we only get one or two. I don't want a whole cinematic universe. Finding ways to watch 12 movies 'other ways' will get complicated.
Also when the casting was revealed, I didn't know who Matthew Lillard was and someone told me he played live action Shaggy, so I didn't know he played fuckin STU FROM SCREAM until I watched the movie, so another cameo technically, just only for me

okay, so-
Due to her not being a lore nerd, I hc Vanessa and Tape Girl were something before the tapes happened and (it's implied) she either killed herself to avoid Vanessa's canonical fate, or went missing mysteriously due to. Yknow. Glitchy boi-
I also hc that Jeremy (faceless beta tester version) was one of the animatronics- I think I was leaning towards Monty? Because. My logic was incredibly gory death=anger issues in the afterlife, and also Jeremy=Bonnie connections.
I've also started shipping Vanrox, because did somebody say toxic yuri enemies to lovers? No? Too bad-
So.
Vanrox, where Roxy hates Vanny for everything she does- because, like. Roxy can see that shit. And, lacking the knowledge of Glitchtrap, hates Vanessa too- but everytime she tries to think that, something deep within her howls that no, that's wrong, that's not Vanessa, she could never hate Vanessa-
MEANWHILE-
Vanessa's just Going Fucking Through It and does not have the time, energy, or shits to give left to try and unpack why the actual fuck the weird wolf robot reminds her of her dead girlfriend she's trying really hard not to think about-
