When I'm in a dogshit opinions competition and my opponent is Tim Sweeney

It's almost impressive how Sweeney manages to have the most wrong take on every single issue.

I have the sneaking suspicion that in private the guy agrees with some very nasty political views.

All you had to do was say nothing, Timmy.

You're an asshole, but only PC gamers had a reason to care—because you tried to buy your way into a dominant position by employing anti-consumer, monopolistic practices like paying for distribution exclusivity deals with third-party publishers.

The best possible choice here, clearly, was to voluntarily align yourself (and by association, Epic Games) with Nazis and pedophiles. I sincerely hope the board forces you to resign, you absolute chode.

He does know that Xitter is already, actually and literally, censoring their political opposition right?

I oppose CSAM and child abuse.

-Tim Sweeny.

HOW FUCKING HARD IS IT TO SAY THAT!

Christ on a stick! Weren't pedo's like the worse of the worse?! When did they start getting a voice in daily regular discourse!

Son of a bitch!

The actual post is even worse. Has the gall to call this, “crony capitalism”…

What about all the ACTUAL OTHER CRONY CAPITALISM HAPPENING

Why did this freak pick THIS of all ongoing issues to get fired up about? Holy shit

You know, if it was anything but Twitter, I could at least have an ounce of sympathy. I remember Tumblr getting a bunch of cheap heat over its active community of furry enthusiasts. Valve cracked down on a bunch of lewd games in their Steam Store, largely out of prudishness. Reddit's been a notorious hub for revenge porn since forever, and its still been considered draconian to blank-ban the whole site.

But pretty much everyone drew the line at CSAM. Hell, 4chan generally drew the line at CSAM. Sites that had virtually no moderation still managed to swing their tiny hammers at CSAM wherever it cropped up.

Twitter seems to have fully embraced this shit with an enthusiasm that can only be described as satanic. Just really, nakedly, unapologetically evil. Maybe Sweeny just doesn't get that, and he's reflexively defending another billionaire from the oppressive hand of Big Government Regulation. Maybe the dude's just a nounce and thinks CSAM is no big deal. Either way, someone needs to rub his nose in it until he gets the picture.

So, what you're saying is that Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney is a pedophile?

Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney argues banning Twitter over its ability to AI-generate pornographic images of minors...

good for him i guess, but why is this news?

...is just 'gatekeepers' attempting to 'censor all of their political opponents'

ah of course, makes sense now.

Love how the entire economy now revolves around the Torment Nexus and CEOs have to defend it every chance they get

Yet another reason not to use the Epic Games Store.

Holy shit. I honestly can't believe people are willing to actually openly support that shit.

Tim Sweeney vocally supports child porn and deep fake porn? He certainly looks like the type of creeper, so I guess I'm not that surprised.

I wonder how many times he's been to Trump and Epstein's Pedophile Island 🤔

This just in: Epic games CEO tim Sweeney is against banning child porn!

"Hey kids, Tim Sweeney here, want to play Fortnite!?!"

Hmmm. I think I won't be reinstaling the Epic Games Store app on my gaming PC any time soon. (My old drive failed December of '23..) I'm only playing two games anyhow - Horizon Zero Dawn and No Man's Sky and both I got through GOG.

NGL, I only tried the Epic Store to get Bioshock on one of their free giveaways.. and it turned out to be a bit much.

Really not into body horror games.. Or people that make excuses for maintaining platforms that enable the creation, and distribution, of CSAM.

See ya later, Tim.

On one hand, the technology exists, sure.

On the other hand, arguing that everyone should have easy, free access to child porn is not the "good look" he think it is. I wonder why people regularly shit on him.

It's astonishing how arrogant and stupid this guy is. Surely he'd notice that this is a great argument against having large centralized services, right? Does he think Twitter is the only Microblogging thing on the net?

“Tim Sweeney totally down with child porn if it owns the libs”

Anyone have a script that just repeatedly downloads and then uninstalls my epic library?

Absolute L take from the undisputed king of L takes.

As an old ass gamer who is fond of Unreal Tournament, I sure hate what Epic has become.

I knew him from way back in the good old days of ZZT and epic pinball.

Why do many of these guys end up being goddamn weirdos?
