Scott Cawthon says he's ready to be "cancelled" for financial contributions to Republican candidates including Donald Trump (though there's no indication of any cancelling).

Five Nights at Freddy's creator Scott Cawthon has confirmed a report that he made significant contributions to Republican political action committees and candidates including Devin Nunes, Ben Carson, Mitch McConnell, and Donald Trump, and said that he's prepared to "get cancelled" and retire from the Five Nights community if people believe that he's doing more harm to it than good.

Scott Cawthon is not "just a republican".

"I've debated greatly how best to address this, including not addressing it at all, but with so many people from the LGBT community in the fanbase that I love, that's not an option.

Cawthon said the candidates he supported included "men, women, white people, black people, republicans, and democrats," and he specifically defended his backing of Kimberly Klacik ("I believed that she really cared for the African American community there and wanted to pull them out of poverty") and Tulsi Gabbard, who he says he felt "would have been a good and fair president" even though he disagreed with her on specific policies.

"Even if there were candidates who had better things to say to the LGBT community directly, and bigger promises to make, I believed that their stances on other issues would have ended up doing much greater harm to those communities than good.".

The latest Five Nights at Freddy's game, Security Breach, is currently expected to be out in late 2021
