A Bit on The Controversy

Five Nights at Freddy Controversy

The creator of the video game series met with controversy recently, which perhaps led to his retirement, according to the fans. There was a revelation that he had received some political donations in the past. Most notably would be the sizable amount of money he donated to Trump and other Republican lawmakers.

Furthermore, he made donations and supported the politicians who supported legislation that does not favor the LGBTQ group. So, naturally, there was an uproar. In fact, a few fans went on to say that he was homophobic.

In addition, Twitter users discovered the details of his donations through a public domain site ‘OpenSecrets’. So, we got to know that Cawthon donated around $25,399 to a lot of leaders. In addition, he gave $2000 to Trump.

After the details of the donation surfaced on the internet, there was a huge Scott Cawthon Reddit post that responded to all the allegations. In that post, he detailed his motives as well as political affiliations. He reaffirmed his stance as a conservative and said that though some other candidates probably showed much love or catered to the group, they would have caused much harm in the longer run.

Thereafter, many fans felt betrayed, while some of them even defended the creator. Needless to say, that this revelation has dealt a huge blow to the Five Nights at Freddy’s fandom.

His Retirement

After the Five Nights at Freddy’s controversy, there’s further news, as the creator of the game has decided to step down from his position.

On the website, he has posted his retirement post. Though it doesn’t explicitly mention the recent controversy, it’s likely that the decision is based on that. In the post, he starts reminiscing about the fans who sent him letters and fan art from all over the globe. He said, “I’ve had a blessed, fulfilling, and rich career. I’ve been shown great kindness and I’ve tried to show great kindness in return”.

As for his reason to step down, Cawthon said that he wanted to go back and develop games for his own kids. However, as we said earlier, the real reason might have been something else, probably due to those allegations.
