Scott Cawthon, creator of the popular video game “Five Nights at Freddy’s” is refusing to back down after people searched for his name on Open Secrets and doxxed for donating to Donald Trump and other Republicans.
As reported by The Daily Wire, Cawthon’s donations and political views became the subject of fodder for gaming site GameRant, which highlighted the fact that fans of the video game series “are concerned and hurt to find out where the money Cawthon makes from the popular horror series is going.”
In their piece, they paint having conservative views as some sort of moral deficiency, writing:
Fans who searched for Scott Cawthon on Open Secrets, an index of public political contributions, noticed that the developer has made significant monetary contributions to a number of conservative politicians such as Senator Mitch McConnell and former President Donald J. Trump. With the huge popularity of the Five Nights At Freddy’s series, a significant portion of the fanbase have taken to social media such as Twitter and Reddit to voice disappointment for Cawthon’s donations, and as a result, both he and Five Nights At Freddy’s have been trending topics on Twitter for the past several days.
