LGBTQIAP+ and left-wing amateur activists on Twitter.com were devastated on Thursday that video game designer Scott Cawthon, creator of the immensely popular “Five Nights At Freddy’s” franchise, is a Christian philanthropist who has a given away a substantial portion of his personal wealth to various charities and organizations, including Republican candidates for office.
Despite the fact that the invasive donor lookup records posted to Twitter appear to reaffirm that Cawthon is a charitable and generous individual, left-wing users hyperfixated on the fact that Cawthon reportedly contributed to several Republican candidates, including Ben Carson, Mitch McConnell, Kevin McCarthy, and Donald Trump.
The news that Cawthon, who had made several video games pre-FNAF with Biblical and Christianity-oriented themes, may have different political opinions from several subsets of the FNAF fanbase threw said subsets of fans into a rage on Twitter.com Thursday afternoon.
no offense, but people (especially members of the LGBT Community) are allowed to get mad at Scott Cawthon for dontating thousands of dollars to politicians actively trying to legislate us out of existence

We are unanimously appalled by the discovery that Scott Cawthon has donated large sums to prominent republican figures. As a diverse team composed largely of LGBT and neurodivergent artists it's difficult to properly express the magnitude of our disappointment.

Scott Cawthon is not "just a republican".
If you see thousands of $ in political donations as being "just a republican", you're being willfully ignorant.
Direct contributions to those who actively support repressing people's rights is far more than "being of a different party"— mango (@Mangolith) June 10, 2021

Even after performing extensive research, National File could not uncover anything of value that was created in the Twitter.com conversation about Cawthon’s private charitable and political donations.
