Happy(?) Gold Morning! Here's the 'thing' I mentioned I was working on a few weeks back: a map of all canon endbringer attacks plus 25 ones I made up to fill gaps in the timeline. I love rolling dice to decide the fates of hundreds of millions of fictionalized people!
Making this map really showed the gaps in the distribution of attacks. Europe is massively overrepresented, as is the US East Coast, but South and Central America, and especially Africa, are pretty massively underrepresented. I'm sure there's probably a kinda-sorta explanation you can spin about the endbringers only attacking places Eidolon is likely to defend, or the Simurgh attacking places that are more geopolitically influential, but that rings hollow to me.
In order to do this I had to make a massive spreadsheet of all the known canon attacks, then figure out how many attacks realistically fit in the gaps (mostly in the 2004-2009 years), then come up with 'realistic' casualty estimates (which are probably way too high but I wanted this to be bleak, I guess). probably 10-15 hours just spreadsheeting. Anyway,I think I've rambled enough. Enjoy(?)
I wanted to make a backstory for the time I found this in pokemon Violet XD
Five Nights at Freddy's is just what Harry Potter was to Millennials but for Gen Z but y'all aren't ready for this conversation
Scott Cawthon is not your friend. He is a business man.
Okay so most people are probably gonna ignore this but I've gotta say it anyway cuz it's important.
FNAF fans have been queerbaited on an EXTREME level and this fandom is stupid for not realising that. And the worst part is, there are a lot of LGBTQ+ people turning a blind eye to blatant homophobia and transphobia in the community as if it's not doing them any harm (but it very much is).
As much as I love Five Nights at Freddy's, the fandom should NOT have turned a blind eye to Scott Cawthon donating to a bunch of homophobes and transphobes. I know it was a long time ago, but even back then, no one seemed to really care and, honestly, what he did is not something that can be forgiven, especially considering how he responded to the allegations.
For those who don't know, in 2021, Scott Cawthon's political donations list was publicised on Twitter, revealing that he had donated money to several homophobic and transphobic politicians, such as Donald Trump and Mitch McConnell.
His response to this was that he "chose to support the candidates he felt were best to run the country", proceeding to share his support for the Republican party and refusing to apologise for supporting them.
But, of course, he also said that he "loves his LGBTQ+ fans" and that he is "grateful for the support from his LGBTQ+ fans".
And, of course, many of the characters from FNAF are implied LGBTQ+. Mangle, Funtime Foxy, Springbonnie and Lolbit don't have confirmed genders. Glamrock Freddy and Glamrock Bonnie were implied to have been a gay couple. So OBVIOUSLY he supports gay and trans people, right?
This is one of the most extreme cases of queerbaiting you will ever see. Actions speak louder than words. Scott Cawthon can say whatever he wants about supporting gay people but he has admitted and proved that he will always choose to give money to the people that want us dead, rather than the very few people in power who actually do good for us. Saying that you support gay people does not mean that you actually do.
I'm not gonna say people are entitled to their own opinions because, quite frankly, some opinions stink. If you seriously think that supporting Republicans isn't doing damage to the LGBTQ+ community then fuck you. I'm not usually political but it's so blatantly clear that Republicans want gay and trans people dead, and every time you donate money to them or even show them support, you help them with that cause. So fuck you. And fuck Scott Cawthon. Because he did the same and then tried to cover it up.
"The support of my LGBTQ+ fans means a lot to me" is actually such an awful thing to say considering that your LGBTQ+ fans need your support so much more than you need ours, but you refuse to give it to them and then pretend that you do. And you have to admit that it is suspicious how he chose to announce his retirement just days after this came out. I'm not saying that he isn't retiring to spend more time with his kids like he said. But there's definitely more to it than that, considering how angry he was at being cancelled.
I am, however, going to keep in mind that he was doxxed because this was completely wrong, no one deserves to be threatened or for their family to be threatened, but it's as though he's using that as an excuse to be forgiven by the fandom because he knows he's done something wrong and just doesn't want to apologise for it.
Something to always keep in mind: people who do bad things should always apologise. If they don't, or if they disguise denying they did anything wrong as an apology, they don't deserve your forgiveness.
And it just upsets me that there are so many LGBTQ+ FNAF fans that choose to ignore this. To those of you that this applies to, I URGE you to wake up and realise that he is helping the fight to get rid of the rights that we had to fight so hard for.
In short, Scott Cawthon is a homophobic and transphobic republican who pretends to be supportive of the LGBTQ+ community so that he doesn't lose fans because he knows what he does is wrong, but refuses to apologise for it.
So go ahead, continue to support Scott Cawthon, but just know that he probably doesn't support you back as much as you think he does.

So, this took root 1 day to write, me 100 hours to draw and you 10 seconds to read (spend a little longer plz?)
Really proud of this one! I wanted to practice action and experiment with different coloring styles and I thank root so much for being patient as I tried out different things. Root, I loved going back and forth with you over the pages at every stage. I adore how you captured both Talanah's and Aloy's voices as they casually converse while fighting an angry Thunderjaw. Hope you enjoyed the Sunhawk teasing her Thrush!!
imallexx is a nasty fucking abuser stay far away from me if you like him
I'm sad that people forget about this stuff about Turkey Tom.
To anyone who defends Turkey Tom: eat shit you racist wastes of space
Maybe not all of his friends but a good chunk definitely. Also We*digoon is friends with Turkey Tom, that should be enough for anyone to disavow him.
I understand that IPOS' video isn't the best when it comes to being accurate but that doesn't change the fact that We*digoon is comfortable being friends with nazis, transphobes, and racists.
Unless We*digoon makes a video shitting on all of his bigot friends, then he's a bigot in my eyes. Doesn't matter if he's "nice" while sitting back as his friends openly desire killing queer people.
Best-case scenario: He is standing back as his friends joke about killing trans people.
Worst-case scenario: He's a slimy fuck who supports their ideals but hides it under his YT persona.
This post from a couple months ago that I think mirrors my thoughts on this pretty well
Post title: We*digoon is Purposeful in his Silence
and a little extra
Post title: YouTuber We*digoon Dismisses Others Religious Based Trauma as ‘Overreaction’ (before mentioning his own traumatic religious experience)
Yeah, get fucked asshole
Scott Cawthon is like an uncle to me but not a fun one like the one I constantly avoid at family gatherings lest I hear him go on a rant about how everything is woke now
btw i was going through the wilbur soot tag to see others responses to…that. but its also a really good block list

what the fuck do you mean he’s on the internet again
there's a special kind of evil in using marginalized identities as a shield to protect abusive men. Being mentally ill does not give you a right to be a bad person. Anyone defending Wilbur on the side of "uwu stop being ableist" can go fuck themselves.
The thing that I hate the most rn is the fact that Wilbur went "we're not gonna talk about what happened. Here's our tour"
Motherfucker what do you MEAN?! If you were innocent, YOU WOULD TALK ABOUT IT! THERE'S NOTHING STOPPING YOU! IT'S NOT LIKE YOU'RE GOING TO JAIL AND YOU CAN'T DESTROY YOUR CAREER ANYMORE THAN IT HAS BEEN
I'm getting so tired of the fnaf fandom excusing all of Scott's horrible partnering choices with the whole "he probably didn't know" argument. it's quite literally his responsibility to do research before signing off on deals with his franchise and entering a partnership with another brand. not taking that time to do bare-bones research is problematic in its own way and shouldn't just be a "well, that's Scott!" moment.
if you care about Palestine, please do not support any of Jazwares collaborative designs with fnaf. they donate funds to the brothers for life charity (and more) that support the IDF. hold people accountable for their actions. at worst Scott is a zionist, and at very best he does absolutely 0 research on who he works with. it's wild how many times this issue comes up of trying to decipher his beliefs based on business decisions.
"supposed" transphobe
asaik he has not said anything transphobic and jusr donated to donate to some alt right political figures
but he has also donated to some lgbt charrity, and while this doesnt automatically make him good
i still belive that the situation isntr as black and white as everyone puts it
He still donated money to alt right politicians tho. So like yeah it isn’t black and white but monetarily supporting transphobic, among other things, politicians and saying he doesn’t regret it isn’t exactly the best look ya know?
Oh wow the guy that supports fucked up people and gives money (from his overrated and mediocre franchise) to republicans who are anti lgbt and never apologizes for it in his reddit response turns out to be a bad person???, color me shocked /s

as a lesbian and a robotfucker i would like to give my two cents on the busty robots from the nuclear retrofuture video games. no notes on assaultrons because they are perfect

Trust me I'm getting tired of this too but...
This is Micah Mayfield, a guntuber who recently released a video in which he made a "joke" about having a trans person in his gun sights....
And oh man would you look at that? Its Grand Thumb! The man who Brandon Buckingham who will make fun of you for thinking that they are terrible people or not! These are all people Wendigoon are comfortable being around. Let's see how Garand Thumb is taking the criticism?
Ah! I see! Surely a great person to be friends with!

Oopies I accidentally made the Freikorps, I didn't know they would organize and install a fascist government, when I made them I was just trying to protect the Republic. I'm sorry that I created the language coached in a fighting a future civil war (or race war). I didn't know they would become fascist paramilitaries. Well I guess we live and learn...

Hey guys i think if it looks like a lion, talks like a lion, hangs out with a lot of other lions, frequently spouts a lot of lion rhetoric, and attracts a whole lot of other adoring lions then maybe we should start figuring out a whole lot sooner that it's a fucking lion

For anyone who's curious, yes, I saw The Video. Not only do I keep up with the analog horror space and am thus familiar with Wendigoon, I also happen to be a big IPOS fan, ever since his videos on Beksinski & Kenneth Anger.
Ironically, I'd unfollowed Wendigoon a month or two ago anyway, partially because of a lot of what IPOS addressed. Despite some flaws in his presentation, his critiques were valid as ever. I don't want to get too deep into politics here, but I genuinely believe Wendigoon is a very easy entry point to the alt right pipeline, and I'd honestly been trying to ignore it. His videos are incredibly basic and don't have much more to offer inquistive minds than Google, but when he's not recitimg cryptids' Wiki pages at you, some of them can be foundational for getting into the scene. I'd heard of it before, but his video is what got me into TMM (though I think his 2nd TMM vid is one of the worst I've ever seen.) But it reaches a point where it's just a never ending cycle of guns, god, & Magic Spoon, and you can't ignore that shit anymore.
He (and the people he promotes, you can whine about guilt by association all you want but let's be honest, public figures endorsing other public figures isn't meaningless) are gonna radicalize people. And right wing, Christian, police state shit is a death sentence to anyone who isn't white, straight, upper class, and "normal." And, as IPOS discussed earlier in that same video, horror is an inherently punk/counterculture genre that we can't let be co-opted by right wing chuds.
