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

[–] FrankFrankson@lemmy.world 14 points 22 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 16 points 23 hours ago

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

[–] boogiebored@lemmy.world 27 points 21 hours 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

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.

[–] ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml 31 points 22 hours ago

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

[–] PerogiBoi@lemmy.ca 21 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

So apparently AI generated CSAM is political? Interesting.

It's how Tim celebrates his freedom.

[–] PerogiBoi@lemmy.ca 4 points 20 hours ago (2 children)

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

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

[–] disregardable@lemmy.zip 251 points 1 day ago (4 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 105 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (6 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!"

[–] Goun@lemmy.ml 45 points 1 day ago

"I like kids too!"

We already know they're buddies; Tim Sweeney travelled to Saudi Arabia with Trump's bribe-seeking entourage.

"Epic MAGAgames"

Edit: better link

Is EpicGames involved with Roblox? Because as far as minors go, I hear THAT game is a dumpster fire with zero redeemable qualities.

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.

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

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

[–] Tehbaz@lemmy.wtf 63 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Majority of them are it seems. It's why the full Epstein files still haven't been released.

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

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

anyone do a search for him on Epstein airlines?

[–] arararagi@ani.social 9 points 21 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.

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

[–] shiroininja@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day 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

[–] KiloGex@lemmy.world 7 points 21 hours 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 7 points 21 hours ago

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

[–] Ledivin@lemmy.world 87 points 1 day ago

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 🤔

[–] Katzelle3@lemmy.world 47 points 1 day ago (2 children)

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

[–] arin@lemmy.world 27 points 1 day ago

He's probably in the Epstein files

…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 17 points 1 day ago

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

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.

[–] floquant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 27 points 1 day ago (2 children)

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

[–] Tyrq@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 1 day ago

That was pretty much the whole project, right?

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

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 6 points 19 hours 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.

[–] Zedstrian@lemmy.dbzer0.com 53 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yet another reason not to use the Epic Games Store.

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.
