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

[–] FrankFrankson@lemmy.world 1 points 15 minutes ago

Censoring child porn is extra unfair to republicans as it's the only way many if them can cum and only banning orgasms for one party isn't fair.

[–] mPony@kbin.earth 7 points 1 hour ago

I guess "think of the children" only applies when it erodes consumer privacy

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 2 points 34 minutes ago

I'm so sick and tired of the self-evident stupidity of free speech absolutism.

[–] melsaskca@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 hour ago

Communities have values and standards. Those fat cats and their systems of extracting capital have been chipping away at that for decades. Shame used to be a thing. No values. No standards, No shame.

[–] shiroininja@lemmy.world 11 points 2 hours ago

I knew I had a reason to hate Tim and Epic games. I’m glad I never took their bribes of free games and installed their store

[–] kameecoding@lemmy.world 7 points 1 hour ago

This shit has to be fake, right?

[–] OldQWERTYbastard@lemmy.world 24 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] FreddiesLantern@leminal.space 4 points 1 hour ago

At first I was kinda issues that they turned their backs on the unreal franchise in such a disrespectful way.

But at this point that feels right. Current Epic doesn’t deserve to be associated with Unreal.

[–] TomArrr@lemmy.world 4 points 1 hour ago

I wonder if he'd 'gatekeep' if started making ai-generated Epic Games?

[–] Akasazh@lemmy.world 6 points 2 hours ago

Great. I'll never by anything of his crappy store anyway

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 20 points 3 hours ago

anyone do a search for him on Epstein airlines?

[–] biofaust@lemmy.world 3 points 2 hours ago

I feel so good I left Epic Games Store and deleted my profile and asked to delete all my data last year!

[–] lechekaflan@lemmy.world 10 points 3 hours ago

What kind of fucking dope he's on?

[–] IronpigsWizard@lemmy.world 59 points 5 hours ago

Tim Sweeney

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

I have boycotted them since their stupid launcher that was nothing but greed, and also when Idle it ate up like half my ram

[–] pivot_root@lemmy.world 104 points 6 hours ago (5 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 33 points 5 hours ago

[–] D_C@sh.itjust.works 12 points 5 hours 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 45 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] Tyrq@lemmy.dbzer0.com 21 points 5 hours ago

That was pretty much the whole project, right?

[–] rekabis@lemmy.ca 16 points 5 hours 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 12 points 3 hours ago

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

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 6 points 5 hours ago

probably, he could well be associated with files.

[–] TemplaerDude@sh.itjust.works 63 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] D_C@sh.itjust.works 10 points 5 hours ago

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

[–] LiveLM@lemmy.zip 67 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago)

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

[–] BlameTheAntifa@lemmy.world 23 points 6 hours ago

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

[–] GreenBeanMachine@lemmy.world 12 points 5 hours ago (2 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.

"We're just gonna do nothing and watch the enemy destroy us"

[–] Yoz@lemmy.world 4 points 3 hours ago

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

[–] Katzelle3@lemmy.world 68 points 7 hours ago (2 children)

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

[–] arin@lemmy.world 33 points 7 hours ago

He's probably in the Epstein files

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.

[–] Atropos@lemmy.world 17 points 6 hours ago

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

[–] CosmoNova@lemmy.world 9 points 5 hours ago

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