Creator Context
Summary
Scott Cawthon created the Five Nights at Freddy's video game franchise. Public records show he donated to multiple Republican candidates including Donald Trump and described himself as pro-life and Christian. In 2021 his donations sparked backlash and doxxing from some LGBTQ-aligned fans, after which he stepped back from public game development while retaining franchise control. No history of supporting left-leaning, activist, or identity politics causes.
