Someone check this man's hard drive.

“I like looking at AI generated kiddie porn, actually!”

  • Tim Sweeney
[–] boogiebored@lemmy.world 24 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

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

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 15 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

Cuz he's one of them. It's how he became CEO. It's how they all become CEO. It isn't rocket science. They're broken freaks.

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 1 points 5 minutes ago

You know Tim Sweeney really could do with having his social media access taken away from him. It's not like he has anything of value to contribute.

He should stick to just announcing Epic releases and otherwise just shut up.

[–] Decq@lemmy.world 2 points 26 minutes ago

Jesus this guy really always finds a way to dig deeper in the abyss doesn't he? Why does anyone even listen to him anymore?

[–] PerogiBoi@lemmy.ca 16 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

So apparently AI generated CSAM is political? Interesting.

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 11 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago) (1 children)

It's how Tim celebrates his freedom.

Was America built on pedophelia this whole time? Is this why they “fled Europe” to colonize the new world???

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 1 points 39 minutes ago (1 children)

Probably. Knowing what we know now, the Puritans look awfully sketchy.

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 1 points 2 minutes ago

Generally speaking if people go out of their way to tell you how wonderful they are it's usually because they're not.

Look at Ellen, and Oprah.

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

I'm fine with all of these CEOs giving me even more reasons to not support AAA companies and give my money to indies.

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 1 hour ago

Oh dear, Tim. I guess you just told us your future.

[–] arararagi@ani.social 9 points 2 hours ago

Also he's wrong, this isn't the first rodeo of AI producing CSAM, when people discovered stable diffusion could do it they made the filters a lot better on the XL version, but Musk doesn't give a fuck.

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

[–] FrankFrankson@lemmy.world 12 points 2 hours 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 15 points 3 hours ago

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

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

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

[–] melsaskca@lemmy.ca 10 points 3 hours 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.

[–] OldQWERTYbastard@lemmy.world 33 points 5 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 6 points 4 hours 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.

[–] shiroininja@lemmy.world 15 points 4 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

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 26 points 5 hours ago

anyone do a search for him on Epstein airlines?

[–] TomArrr@lemmy.world 6 points 4 hours ago

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

[–] Akasazh@lemmy.world 8 points 4 hours ago

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

[–] kameecoding@lemmy.world 7 points 4 hours ago

This shit has to be fake, right?

Tim Sweeney

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

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 3 points 1 hour ago

Wanna see my noodskin?

[–] pivot_root@lemmy.world 115 points 9 hours ago (6 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.

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

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

They definitely deleted all that data, too.

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

[–] lechekaflan@lemmy.world 11 points 6 hours ago

What kind of fucking dope he's on?

[–] rekabis@lemmy.ca 27 points 7 hours ago (3 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 20 points 6 hours ago

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

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