What kind of fucking dope he's on?

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 1 points 6 minutes ago

anyone do a search for him on Epstein airlines?

[–] Rhoeri@piefed.world 14 points 1 hour ago

Aaaaaand…. Boycotted.

Tim Sweeney

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

[–] pivot_root@lemmy.world 66 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

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.

Wait, so is Tim Sweeney a fucking fascist, too?

[–] _Nico198X_@europe.pub 20 points 2 hours ago

[–] D_C@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 hour ago

Most probably. However there maybe another reason, maybe he just likes having the option to make paedo stuff on xhitter...

[–] floquant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 28 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] Tyrq@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 1 hour ago

That was pretty much the whole project, right?

[–] GreenBeanMachine@lemmy.world 8 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Do these people have kids, wives? Why not get Grok to generate some nudes of their families and see how they feel about that.

[–] Yoz@lemmy.world 1 points 32 minutes ago

They will not care. When you reach that level then it doesn't matter what working class talks about.

[–] rekabis@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 hour ago (2 children)

…The fuck?

Is Tim Sweeney legitimately outing himself as a pedophile? Does the Parasite Class really feel so comfortable and immune from consequences that they can openly advocate for pedophilia?

[–] TheRedSpade@lemmy.world 3 points 44 minutes ago

They're under the protection of the POTUS. Yes, they feel immune to consequences.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 1 hour ago

probably, he could well be associated with files.

[–] TemplaerDude@sh.itjust.works 50 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] D_C@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 hour ago

The last five words in your sentence might not be needed...

[–] LiveLM@lemmy.zip 54 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

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

[–] cley_faye@lemmy.world 13 points 2 hours ago

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.

[–] BlameTheAntifa@lemmy.world 17 points 3 hours ago

Wow. I already thought of Sweeny as scum but I didn’t know he was nazi pedophile scum. So long Epic.

[–] Katzelle3@lemmy.world 58 points 4 hours ago (2 children)

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

[–] arin@lemmy.world 29 points 4 hours ago

He's probably in the Epstein files

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 19 points 4 hours ago

And has generated some very nasty AI images.

[–] Atropos@lemmy.world 14 points 3 hours ago

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

[–] Leather@lemmy.world 9 points 3 hours ago

Classic Epic response!

[–] CosmoNova@lemmy.world 5 points 2 hours ago

Every accusation is a confession. Tech CEOs are filthy scum.

[–] Itisreallyboring@lemmy.world 26 points 4 hours ago

And my Epic Account is deleted.

[–] webkitten@piefed.social 81 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Weird how many billionaires are just openly pro paedophia.

[–] db2@lemmy.world 30 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

They've been given a green light for it by the pedo in chief. It's not that surprising really, they only care about themself (singular because there isn't any real solidarity among them).

Take names. Don't forget.

I thought "gatekeeping" was a good thing, to keep fandom spaces "safe from normies", so big corporations will only make stuff for "real, hardcore fans".

[–] geekwithsoul@piefed.social 101 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] Nelots@piefed.zip 4 points 1 hour ago

The day he says something I agree with is the day I reevaluate everything I believe.

[–] disregardable@lemmy.zip 223 points 7 hours ago (7 children)

Wow. There was just zero reason for him to say anything. Nobody is accusing Fortnite of being unsafe for kids. And he chose to say that. For himself.

[–] floofloof@lemmy.ca 94 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago) (4 children)

He's probably just trying to get noticed by Trump. "Hey, look at me! I'm on the side of you and the other pedoNazis! You're the best!"

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.

[–] AbidanYre@lemmy.world 130 points 7 hours ago (6 children)

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

[–] BlameTheAntifa@lemmy.world 12 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago) (1 children)

It is Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney telling us he is a pedophile and a nazi.

[–] Dojan@pawb.social 4 points 2 hours ago

Hardly a surprise.

[–] tatann@lemmy.world 8 points 3 hours ago

A far-right pedophile since his concern is also that far-right speech would be "censored" (despite occupying a majority of media)

[–] Damage@feddit.it 1 points 2 hours ago

Please don't trip into that fallacy. He may be a self-serving asshole, but blanket-labelling people pedophiles for their policies only helps those trying to monitor and censor our communication and thoughts, see chat control.

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 🤔
