Most of the comments seem in support of him, so at least some of his community don't really care. If it had happen to someone else then yes there'd be blowback but considering Scott has donated over a million to charity, allows fan games to be published under his label and seems a genuinely chill guy when people criticize how FNAF got popular due to the streamer craze. I think he'll get out of this okay I think.
Trannies like Jimmy Sterling arn't finding much ammo to throw at him, considering he did pay for a transition during a livestream and actually supports the gays in his community. So like I said, Scott is in a unique position where if they cancel him over something trite like this, it only makes them appear as assholes.
"game journalists", and "progressive" devs in the industry on the other have all the power to end his career.
No one listens to game journos and Scott is self-published so there is no dev who can cancel him. Scott is basically in Notch-level "Untouchable", except Scott is still making games. And that most of his fans are sticking by him means there is very little they can actually do to stop him.
EDIT: That said, I absolutely agree with you that this forum is getting extremely toxic lately and its mostly down to the StormFag types showing up for God knows what reason.

WRONG.
Steam, GOG, and other distributors regularly cancel devs for wrongthink. There was some Conservative dev who had his game denied by GOG.
LOTS of devs get cancelled on Steam. A few were cancelled for criticizing China or making pro-Hong Kong sentiments in their games.
There was even the one game, I think it was called Rape Day or something? It was cancelled because some Prime Ministers got offended and basically told Valve they either ban the game or face legal repercussions. So Valve axed the game.
If enough trannies cry and moan to Valve, you can bet your bottom dollar they will cancel Scott. The fact people still think that being "independent" is some safeguard from being cancelled in the gaming industry are naive at best.
Your next reply is going to be "Yeah, but Scott can just sell his games from his website!" and there are lots of indie devs that do that. Outside of Minecraft, I'm hard pressed to think of an indie game that managed to make it big outside of a major distributor.
FNAF is sold incredibly cheaply and likely has seen well past 90% of the sales it will ever see at full price in its life.
Where the money is still made is in tiny children's toys that are fucking everywhere being manufactured and sold. Some for more than the game themselves. A lot of them in the "mystery figure" genre (aka gambling for kids and lots of profit). He still has comics and books being printed regularly and a movie has been sold like 3 times now.
You are incredibly underestimating Scott himself in terms of his empire and self preservation. He didn't avoid the cancel mob this long by being stupid.
That's why I said underestimating Scott not the cancel mob. Because people here are only talking about his video games and the IT section, while he has merchandise and books and movies as well in his repertoire.
I was attempting to broaden your context about just how massive FNAF is and the reason why the attempt to cancel him will have far more of a hurdle than just "he is a Christian kill him" can likely jump. But it seems people would rather use it as another excuse to circlejerk about the SJWs in our echobox instead of going help one of those "other indies" who aren't as buffered.

You're being daft.
They cancelled the President of the United States of America in Donald Trump.
If they no longer want Scott making money from FNAF, they will cancel him, too.
It happened in ComicsGate when some of the indie comic publishers tried to distribute their comics to retailers and they had it cut off via Diamond.
It happened with consumer products like MyPillow being dropped by major retailers.
It happened with the leader of the Proud Boys having his and his wife's bank accounts blacklisted by Chase.
This idea that somehow Scott Cawthorn is above the zeitgeist isn't just stupid, it's a blatant show of how uneducated you are about how much control they have over society.
Right now they put a soft target on Scott for being a Conservative, but if he ever steps out of line enough to warrant them canceling his empire, they absolutely can. They've cancelled much bigger people than him.
You remind me of the Lolbertarians that said "LOL guys, don't worry about Twitter or Facebook, just make your own." and we saw how alternative media either gets shunned enough by the open market where it practically lives on the dark web (e.g., Gab), cancelled by Big tech before it can even garner market share (e.g., Parler), or slowly pelted by legal authorities until it mirrors other Big Tech portals (e.g., BitChute).
The problem is that people like you still don't get it.
So now we've moved from "they wont allow him to sell video games" to "they will completely unleash Trump level destruction on him." See that's a whole different level of the discussion where you just keep adding new levels to make sure you are able to keep your soapbox going.
I get it, I've been here far longer than you have I promise. You just want to rant angrily at everyone.

I never said that. I used Trump as an example that no one is above canceling. Pay attention.

No, it's not.
It's explaining to numbskulls that just because Scott made millions and has enough to take care of himself and his family does not mean he's above cancellation.
You apparently didn't read anything I wrote in my last comments because I made that explicitly clear.
I get it, I've been here far longer than you have I promise. You just want to rant angrily at everyone.
No, I clearly explained why you hold a very distorted and wrong view of how society works and you decided to prevaricate with nonsense.
Instead of licking your wounds with a non-sequitur you need to acknowledge that having a successful game + merchandise =/= indemnification from SJW cancellation.
That was literally my point. I have no idea how you got any of that other nonsense out of the two comments I made about Scott and what COULD happen if SJWs decide to cancel him.
We are on our own 'Reddit' right now. While yes, Reddit is still the much larger website and we may not like it, it is however important to make sure we point our finger in the right direction. Private websites having control of their platform is not it.
Your argument falls apart when not only are these not-so-private companies engaging political manipulation and election interference, but they're also engaging in antitrust violations with ZERO recourse.
Again, it's the Lolbertarian approach as if there's an even playing field or as if the enemy is respecting the rules. This is why the West is losing its culture.
Start about here and read the highlights. Was about January this year he put on that shitty wig but he'd been on HRT for a few months before. It's honestly entertaining watching him tumble down.
Scott didn't apologize for a thing, and then casually reminded everyone of both his illustrious career options and "Fuck you" money that he already milked from the FNAF franchise (which is literally on grocery store shelves nationwide, it'll keep printing money forever).
This is the way. And 99.9999% of the people who feel the need to be offended by him can't do anything but tell the world they think he's a bad person; as if the world cared about what they think.

I mostly blame the Marxists. If they didn't all have Jewish last names, I wouldn't be forced to use my pattern recognition.
I just notice things ?

And even in the case of Minecraft, not only has it been scooped up by Microsoft and used to push degenerate politics, but Notch has effectively been cancelled. Microsoft even denied him appearing at a Minecraft event -- for the game he created -- because he refused to kowtow to the Left's agenda: https://variety.com/2019/gaming/news/minecraft-creator-excluded-from-anniversary-due-to-comments-and-opinions-exclusive-1203200050/

That's true.
This is not.
Google takes government contracts, meaning taxpayer dollars, meaning it's no longer the "private company can do whatever they want."
https://www.forbes.com/sites/thomasbrewster/2020/12/22/google-promised-not-to-use-its-ai-in-weapons-so-why-is-alphabet-investing-in-ai-satellite-startups-with-military-contracts/?sh=737e56f27595
Yet somehow they're bigger and have more information control than any nation on the face of the planet.
Google also engaged in election meddling by refusing to allow some candidates to advertise or run certain ads: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/300-trump-ads-taken-down-by-google-youtube-60-minutes-2019-12-01/
https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/04/technology/google-tulsi-gabbard-lawsuit.html
So not only are they using taxpayer dollars, but now they're violating election laws right in the open: https://www.mtsu.edu/first-amendment/article/949/equal-time-rule
When did private corporations get carte blanche to break the law? Influence elections and dictate commerce above board?
Worse yet is that companies like Facebook also have government contracts, which means they're still using taxpayer dollars while stifling speech and engaging in social engineering tactics: https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news/thousands-contracts-highlight-quiet-ties-between-big-tech-u-s-n1233171

Wait Jim Sterling is a tranny now? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

It's James Stephanie Sterling now bigot
Scott didn't apologize for a thing, and then casually reminded everyone of both his illustrious career options and "Fuck you" money that he already milked from the FNAF franchise (which is literally on grocery store shelves nationwide, it'll keep printing money forever).
Probably a champion way of doing this.
yeah I have to give him major props for not bowing to the mob.
This is the way. And 99.9999% of the people who feel the need to be offended by him can't do anything but tell the world they think he's a bad person; as if the world cared about what they think.
