A fan of mine shared this letter with me on the dbd reddit asking me to read it and possibly respond to it. I read it and at first didn’t plan to respond, but Lark, my brother, encouraged me to. The letter in question is speaking out against the upcoming crossover with FNAF and DBD, a crossover the community has LONG wanted. However, what could this ‘concerned fan’ have against the idea? We’ll see…and it will make you cringe.

I’ll be completely honest when I say bringing up a developers political views and using that against them in a gaming argument has got to be the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever seen. You shame people for their beliefs as if it’s gonna be enough to stop a business deal…
I personally could care less about who Scott Cawthon supports (I’m also bisexual and support the LGBTQ+ community and still don’t care), all that matters is that at the end of the day he seems like a good guy (according to a lot of content creators who’ve met him and vouched for his character) and created an indie horror series worthy of praise.
Then thing is I think mat pat explained it to the best of his ability
Simple
If you go vote There will never be a group or person you agree with one hunted persent you then would vote the person or group with the most things you agree with that includs suporting thos with a secenddary thing from what I remember was the topic miltary on why he suported and donated to thos groups but that was a theroy and so far we don't know if that was the reson but I chois to belive it until profen wrong
i do dissagree with the letter in total and many points but to maybe explain why alot of people cant/wont support anything because of being pro donald trump is not just because of polotics. With Trump as president his opion on queer people heavily effects queer peoples life and rights, and in his past term he had taken rights from queer people and done alot more. So when queer people see anything loosely connected to trump and go "NOPE" its not because of politics its because he has taken in his past term taken away their rights
I knew the issue was going to be about Scott donations, of course those people can't allow other to just enjoy a fun crossovers if the creator its not to be at their side.
Raven Knight its right, this people don't deserve to be placated, only ignored.
me before watching the video: oh, well I hope that person's reasons for having that opinion are reasonable and are focused on the actual game.
me a few minutes into the letter being read: sigh… it's about Trump isn't it?
also, did you just call him Scott Cawthorn ? 😆
Though I don’t want players argue debate fnaf movie and willys wonderland because Nic cage was in willys wonderland and survivor in dbd
As a FNaF enjoyer myself, I don't consider any games past the main series of 1-6 + UCN, the story ended there and there is no virus man in the wall, 5 was bordering cringe but it passes barely.
The movie was also pretty shit mainly because it was restricted.
Scott's political views are just as worthless to the conversation as anyone else's, he's hired many LGBT people (which doesn't matter, you can hire whoever you want) to work for him and donated his fair share to charity, most of Reddit never donated to charity.
Nobody cares about "queer" players, it's a video game, we care about having any players, if the terminally online and hive-minded people that don't like anything suddenly leave then perfect, we'll get a massive boost in player numbers due to FNaF that surpasses the loss of your kind, it will be worth it for BHVR to lose you, to say the quiet part out loud.
Games are made for the demographic with the most amount of people, second comes the image of the company which is typically enhanced with their shown support for LGBT which has a diminishing return after a while, then come the updates that tread the line between popularity and political correctness which isn't bad by the way for as long as it doesn't degrade the game-play.
With every update you expect to lose and gain some players, the losses don't really matter if the gains are higher, but preferably you want less losses and more gains at the same time, but not with massive titles such as FNaF, the losses are so outweighed by the gains that it doesn't matter if 1/10 of the players leave when 20000 come to play on day 1.
Im excited for the collab, I love fnaf and I like Dbd.
You know what, im not even going to entertain the politics.
Lets have some fun do you guys think scooby-doo has a chance of appearing in dbd? And if it did which monster would you want in the game?
I really like the tar monster but dont quite know how he'd work.
This is just a complaint about a political viewpoint that is idiocy I will complain about things that may be trivial like if a character is black who was originally white then I will complain that is pandering and I dislike that but the majority of what I will complain about is animation or gameplay the fundamentals for games
The they/them players are the most annoyingest people to ever exist. They claim to be all innocent but they're quick cancel something/someone that doesn't support them, it's like a opinions don't even exist anymore
I am really sick of the LGBTQ+ push that it has to center around everything that we see. If it doesn't cater to those groups it's "controversial" and anyone who doesn't support or supports the opposite political party then you are the "bad guy". No wonder why wokism is being heavily mocked by everyone.
From my point of view, the crappy political system in the us forces you to take the bad with the good. Just because scott voted for someone who happens to have anti lgbt views doesnt mean he voted for them because of it. And he has also donated to pro lgbt charities. I also dont think someone who has a game that has a large lgbt fanbase would be anti lgbt.
I’m glad this person is crying lefty liberals are the worst kind of people
Honestly, I thought that it would be column about FNAF not really tonally fitting the DBD world (which tbh is already goofy enough), but I didn't think it would go HERE.
I just want Michael afton in dbd.
I dont like the franchise. But I wont complain as long as its fun to play.
On the topic of Cawthon recieving death threats, I will never understand the mentality of perceiving a form of evil, and then immediately stooping to that level of evil yourself.
Two wrongs don't make a right. Those people are not well.
the fact this is actually a widely held opinion by a bunch of people is nuts for me to even comprehend. if they end up backtracking this collab i'm legitimately done with this game
Even when they aren't in power they are trying to attack and erase other people's work simply duo to different political views . You can't tell me that they won't start burning books if they had the power to do so
It honestly blows my mind that people are surprised that the conservative game developer who worked on Christian games up until FNAF would end up donating to Trump.
