Thanks for 7 fantastic years Scott ❤️💜 Great vid too, I’m right there with ya!

"you ended the story by killing the storyteller"- last line after defeating Scott in fnaf world That hits different

Scott was so mature and so helpful because he's a parent, a bloody good parent too. I wish Scott the best

You will always be our superstar, Scott.

Scott legit helped Dawko get out of a suicidal breakdown. He never deserved the hate he's getting right now, this is so out of control. Scott's always been a good person and he helped a lot of people do things they wouldn't ever do if it wasn't because of Scott. God bless Scott.

Honestly we need less toxic people in this world, and more people who are as nice as Dawko

If you want to politely disagree with Scott then disagree. You NEVER send him threats. He is a human and has opinions.

Seeing Dawko teary and knowing that people have wrote hate messages towards him before he even said anything makes me cry. Why do people have to be like this?

You can hate Scott all you want and disagree with his beliefs but never send death threats to his family nor doxxing his home address. If that were happened to you then you would also beg for people to stop as well and it'll be the same thing anyway. Don't put yourselves on pedestals while we're all here standing on the same ground.

the thing about Dawko is that he’s one of the best people in this broken world. he cares so much about his passions and doesn’t let anyone turn him away from what he wants. 👑 you dropped this, king

You can see him holding back tears, that hits hard 😭

Doesn't matter what his personal beliefs are, you never send death threats to people. I don't understand why people can't just disregard a creator's personal beliefs and enjoy the content they create for the reason they make it. Love the artist for the art.

This hurts a lot, but at least scott can spend time with his family.

"When you wake up, Just Remember, Friends are Forever...." -Freddy Fazbear

POV: your sad that Scott retired but your also wondering how almost 2 years went by so quick

The issue with politics here in America is that it’s very black and white with people. There’s no room for nuance, there’s no room for moderation. People keep voting for the same parties, and the same problems keep coming up. If you identify as Republican, it’s always assumed that you’re religious, anti-lgbtq+, and pro military. But the reality is that someone might vote Republican simply for the fact that they support the military and nothing else. People don’t see that. If you identify as Democrat, it’s assumed that you’re pro-choice, anti-gun, and probably not religious. But someone could be voting simply for the fact that they are pro-choice but still like Guns and subscribe to a mainline religion. But people don’t see that. I think Scott got caught up in that dynamic. I mean think about it. Why would he try to hurt the people he makes games for? Many politicians stand for many different things, and sometimes politicians that I don’t always agree with, hell even if I hate them, make good points about certain things.

Dont worry Dawko, at this point, not even politicians understand american politics.

“Rest your own soul” -Old Man Consequences See you on the flip side Scott, we already miss you

Twitter is horrifying, honestly. I want to stuff cancel culture inside a springlock suit.

It’s 2023 and everything Dawko said aged extremely well and if I’m going to be honest, I don’t care about your politics, all that matters is how you treat others.

as a wise bear once said,”when you wake up, just remember friends are forever.”

Really sucks but I’m happy he can focus on his family.

Everyone has an opinion and postures, we as humans are different and need to know that not everyone thinks and acts the same.

If I had a wish, it would be removing Twitter once and for all

He didn’t just make games, he changed lives.

I've never thought something FNaF-related could break my heart, but here we are. Thank you so much, Scott! I hope you'll feel a lot better.

Pretty likely no one will ever see this, but (not-so) fun fact! The man who started the harassment campaign against Scott defended a dude who molested his own sister! That alone should tell you everything you need to know about the bitter and awful person who spearheaded a harassment campaign against one of the kindest people to ever use the internet. Scott did nothing wrong and Gryphoneer needs to be held accountable for the suffering he put the Cawthon family through.

“We didn’t realize we were making memories, we just knew we were having fun. - Winnie the Pooh

“I don’t know anything about American politics” Trust me dawko, you are not missing out on anything

As an LGBTQ+ person, I will continue to support and play the fnaf games because these damn games were what shaped me as a person, they helped me through a lot of hard times. I will still continue to play the games and i will be begging my mum for tickets to see the fnaf movie when it comes out in the UK , i am not racist , homophobic, transphobic or any of the sort and i know that Scott said he was donating to these people because of reasons that were NOT homophobic or racist. Scott is a lovely person and i wish him the best retirement. Him and his family do not deserve anything that has been said to and about them, i think Twitter should just *back off* .

Scott donated millions for charities; no one cared about it Scott donated a (relatively) small amount of money to politicians; people tried to crucify him

Bro I feel so bad for Dawko you can hear in his voice he’s trying not to cry.

"We'll be friends forever" - freddy fazbear

2 years later, I'm still pissed this happened. So many people who were suicidal lost a man based on slanderous lies. From the stories and receipts I've seen from you and Darknurr, I'll forever defend Scott till I drop dead. These monsters did more damage than the threat they claim to be against would ever do. It disgusts me greatly.

I am LGBTQ and I’d like to apologize on behalf of the LGBTQ community, We would never resort to violent measures. And these cancellors, we don’t claim them. I personally am a bit of a FNaF fan and I wish you guys luck.

A wise man once said. It’s not the world that’s cruel. It’s the people in it

After learning scott is retiring, all i can imagine is matpat standing in the rain without his main rival Anyway thank you scott for giving us 8 years of fnaf you truly deserve this retirement

Funny thing: the one's who cancelled him are the same people who sexualizes his characters. What a bunch of clowns

This is why I HATE Twitter..

“I have always loved, and will continue to love, this community and this fanbase, even if someday it doesn’t include me anymore.” Step 1: Lay down Step 2: Try not to cry Step 3: Cry a lot

7 years of FNaF Im actually glad Scott retired Not because Scott donated to a Guy that some People dont like Its because Scott wants to protect his family I already knew that some day Scott would retire Thank you Scott For making our childhoods.

"I believe there is peace and perhaps, warm, waiting for you after the smoke clears." -Henry Emily, FNaF 6

The man, the myth, and the legend has been put down. Man, I loved Fnaf ever since it came out and so have you, Dawko. I can tell just by your reaction. And we all know the games won’t be the same without him. All we can do is just wish he was back. Stay strong ( and please never forget Scott)

"I don't know anything about American politics." *Good.*

We love you scott no matter what. 🐻🐥🦊🐰

I know I'm late but I really wanted to know what people's thoughts were on this and listening to dawko almost break down in tears saying Scott helped him out of a dark time made me tear up

Scott has done so much for so many, i wish him the best for him and his family

Let this madlad rest, he has done a lot for the past 7 years. He created one of the fandom that I first joined and cherish. I hope him and his family is alright with the stuff happening recently.

I’m sad that Scott is retiring .it’s not right that people are sending death threats. God bless Scott.

Looking back at this controversy, this makes me think that those that threaten and demonize other people for their beliefs may ironically enough turn people towards extremism because of their situation. This is why people must stay away from politics unless if they are actually mature enough to not slander people that aren't on their side. Because if they don't, well then, they'll be making the problem worse tenfold.

"When you wake up, just remember - friends are forever." - Freddy Fazbear, 2020

The ironic thing is that these 'people' who decided to cancel Scott... They're the exact same people who make NSFW art of the FNaF genre. Especially since the animatronics, the original models at least, are possessed by *children*. I need not explain more so I'll leave it at this: screw you Twitter.

The thing is, Scott is a GAME DEVELOPER. Why do people care what political beliefs he has? Fnaf is in no way political. Why should it even matter?

“We are still your friends, Do you believe that?” -Fredbear, 2015

"Come and sit with me a while." "Leave the demon to his demons. Rest your own soul. There is nothing else." -Old Man Consequences.

This really is heartbreaking.💔 I am still very new to FNAF. Unfortunately, I joined the FNAF fandom just about a week before this happened, so I never was around during the earlier years of this community. But in my 6 months here, I have seen just how big of an impact Scott has made for so many people. No matter what people think of Scott, he really does have a kind heart and he has brought so much joy to so many people with his creations. And those years of memories will be forever cherished and loved by them. And to all those who had the audacity to threaten to *kill him, his wife, and his CHILDREN,* in the words of Henry Emily: *“THE DARKEST PIT OF HELL HAS OPENED TO SWALLOW YOU WHOLE. SO DON’T KEEP THE DEVIL WAITING, ‘OLD FRIEND’ ”*

The thing that’s sad about this is that it happened to Scott of all people (who probably least deserved it). When you look at statistics, lots of the bigger names, brands, and franchises do the exact same thing, and nobody bats an eye. There aren’t mobs of people attempting to get someone or a franchise cancelled. Disney and Dreamworks did, Marvel did, and even companies like pharmaceuticals did as well. And they donated millions. I get why people reacted badly, but I wish it hadn’t gotten as bad as it did

"Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened." Dr. Seuss. Even though the story won't be the same, his legacy will continue.

The words "see you on the flipside" really got me, Fnaf was always something I loved from the beginning and I was there when fnaf 1 first released. Seeing Scott retire like this feels weird but I understand his reasoning.

Imo people shouldn't care about other people's beliefs/political views

Man 2 years later. Scott will always be remembered as he made the best out of our childhoods. He gave us memories that we’ll never forget. Thank you Scott.

I feel bad for dawko, he is obviously sad...

guys, remember, he said: "i will still be around, just not in the capacity that i used to be" he is still with us, the thing is, that someone will be running fnaf instead of him

People just need to stop crying about it. He can donate to whatever candidate he wants to.

It’s HIS money. He can do what he wants with he, he designs video games I don’t get why people give a crap about this.

" Just remember, Friends are Forever" ---- Freddy Fazbear

Man, Scott getting doxxed and getting death threats is not what he deserves, he deserves a great life and a happy life. Hope you are okay Scott, Thank you for 7 brilliant years.

As someone who’s LGBTQ Trans, I do not agree to those who made the threats. It is never okay to threaten someone, and it paints a bad picture on the rest of us. I hope Scott will be okay.

Scott Will Always Be Our Superstar.

It does suck. But huge respect to Scott, and much much love to him and his family. I and many others will never forget what he’s done over these last 7 years. He’s changed lives and made some people who they are today. Thank you Scott.

“tomorrow is another day” -psychic friend fredbear

this video is still sad to this day and tbh when I heard the news I was tearing up. Scott made my childhood and hearing this was a real stab to the chest. I supported Scott with retirement and i was also disappointed with Scott for the donations but i agree he didn't have any bad intent with it. as far as i know he was a great guy. obviously i don't have any contact with Scott but you should know he is a good person. TBH I'm saying all this a bit late but if anyone is seeing this message. don't hate on someone, telling them to k*** th******** cause its not right. be safe and always be positive. I'm just glad he's alright and fnaf is still thriving like it always should.

Looking back at this it makes me wonder how this blow out of proportion. Scott is a nice guy and I really wish he didn't have to leave because of this.

I was hoping that Scott would be at least a consultant for future fnaf games. I'm guessing that the fnaf movie will probably be last thing he'll work on

My heart is broken as well. I always feared the day Scott leaves us and it's hard to process it happened. He really is a good man. Time heals all wounds but there's always going to be a hole in my heart where he used to be.

I’m sorry for everything you went through and how you feel on how Scott has left the Fnaf community you guys are both great,stay goated❤

This really hurts. Someone so kind, and pure to not only his kids, but his fan base. He was always there for us. He did everything he could to please the fans, while helping his family. But, canceling someone because of a belief? That’s not only disgusting, but also hypocritical! I’m actually a Republican (voted for Trump), and also a Christian. This really hurts. Not just because he shaped my childhood, but also because if someone as nice of a person as Scott gets canceled… what chance do any of us have that have different beliefs? God bless you, Scott. Thank you for everything and happy retirement. I’m sorry all of this has happened to you. It wasn’t deserved. Your fan base is still here. We are still your friends. Do you still believe that?

in my eyes now FNAF is like a book. Scott is the author he's job is to write the story and steel wool is the illustrator there job is to make the story into a picture book

Scott literally made 70% of my childhood, im gonna miss him. FNAF wont be the same anymore. But I support his decision.

so.....Scott, thank you, for the memories, and the games

i never finished this video and decided to rewatch it today.. and i'm so sorry that you were feeling that dawko. i'll always support you, you make me smile so much, you're amazing, and you're the best person i've ever seen. i'm so glad you started youtube, you're my favorite youtuber and have been for over two years. I know it isn't that long, but it's long enough for me. I love you and your content, and even though i was kind of young when FNAF first came out, i loved it, and finding you, a FNAF youtuber, not like one i've seen, i thought, "hey, he seems fun, i should start watching him." and now, i'm asking to buy your merch, watching every video i can, and streaming your music whenever i get the chance. thank you for everything dawko ❤️

I hope Scott rests well for all the great games he's brought us. 💜 And I absolutely agree with what you said in this video, I wish people would be more understanding.

"Um... Ok, I'll leave you to it. See you on the flip side." -Scott Cawthon

You know it’s sad, I came back to this because why not then it hit me AGAIN. Some people on Twitter (some not all) say they do this for equality, but what I don’t get is that it’s ruthless how they are making things (equal). It ruins a reputation for lgbtq community which is unfair and not equal at all! It hurts to see if you have one opinion that someone doesn’t like because they didn’t do enough research on it… your fucked. Simple as that, a good man that helped people through hard times such as myself retired because of people that don’t know him at all except for some tweets or posts. This world will eventually crumble from sadness and hatred but what can you do about when some people deny everything you say and always think they are right

To the people who decided it be funny to cancel Scott: “the darkest pit of will open to swallow you whole, so don’t keep the devil waiting”.

Tbh, this entire video shows how cruel the would is basically here in the US. Scott is a beloved, caring, good hearted person, who loves his fans dearly. He donated THOUSANDS of dollars and people hated him, sending him death threats to him and his family for no reason. So what if he donated money to a group that you don’t like, that was not the point because he donated money, that’s one of the kind things you can do in this world. Now knowing that Dawko was suicidal and Scott helped him, that really shows how kind Scott is, and I feel terrible sorry for you Dawko that you were in that. You and Scott are kind and respect people equally, and all people should be treated equally. So what if your in the LBGTQ or support it? That doesn’t mean you should send death threats to a person who does, it’s very cruel and disgusting. I may be just a teenager but think before you act, treat people with respect and kindness, treat people the way you wanted to be treated. Sadly there is so much hate in the worl but kindness will always overcome it. Dawko and Scott have feelings just like the rest of us. you and Scott didn’t deserve this hate, you’re a human with feelings just like the rest of us! Tbh you have oped many eyes, you’re kind, respectful, amazing and intelligent in ever way. Fnaf has been apart of almost every fnaf fan’s child hood but some hate on him for what he did when it was Scott’s choice, he has rights to do what he has done, that doesn’t make him a bad person. Ik this is late but to you Dawko, I hope you’re doing well after you said that you were in some point suicidal, I am glad that you got out of it and that Scott helped you. If you ever feel that way again, don’t be afraid to hide it and it isn’t worth it (sorry if that was a little to much, I don’t want to bring you down) There will always be somehow loves you like all of your amazing subs, fans, friends, and family, you are an idol to many and I believe it, you helped out so many over the years, if you ever want a break take one! Have a nice Dawko, take care, Mable as well!!! 🫶🫶🫶

It's the people who have aided in Scott's cancellation, the oversensitive babies who hate not having control over someone elses beliefs, who paint LGBTQ+ in a negative light. A lot of the community at this point is highly toxic, and the fact they always preach about people having the right to identify, love and believe what you want, only to then bully, doxx, threaten, cancel someone who has a different opinion and belief to them, is disgusting. People need to stop policing others on how they think and feel and just get on with their lives, instead of acting like those who dont follow the crowd are basically satan incarnated. Grow up, all of you, you're toxic behaviours and mob mentality is suffocating and just outright pathetic. Get over yourselves. Best of luck to Scott and his family moving forward. Scott brought many years of joy to millions of people,, and he and his franchise will never be forgotten

What is worse is that a lot of people against Scott will voluntarily come forward and speak out their hate on him, they're most likely on this comment section besides being everywhere on twitter

I just hope that his retirement doesn't turn into another Star Wars esque situation but so long as Illumix, Steel Wool, or whomever takes the reins, cares deeply for the series we can look forward to a long and high quality continuation

i can feel the emotion in this video. it's tragic how hate blinds people to reason.

The people who exposed this information and dug to find it need to find a hobby and learn to let people have privacy.

“Leave the demons to his demons, rest your own soul.” - Old Man Consequences (I’m not saying he’s a demon I’m trying to say leave people alone)

The 7 years of fnaf's existence are the the 7 nights, the seventh night is over and Scott has retired

This video shows that this man really cares for Scott. I salute him for his bravery. No one, NO ONE, should ever feel that way. NO ONE.

These people who are Trying to cancel him make William Afton look like a good person💀

Anyone who dares step into the territory of death threats is an absolute and inexcusable disappointment.

Imagine how fnaf is going to look after this... the movie... security breach. I hope that whoever takes over, truly understands fnaf and it’s importance to many people like me.
