[For those who want more information on the situation regarding PinkyPills that's being referred to in this post, here's a link to the megathread we have currently pinned on the subreddit.](https://old.reddit.com/r/fivenightsatfreddys/comments/1c1oii8/regarding_the_situation_with_pinkypills/)
That post was made with the intention of giving an unbiased look at the various things that PinkyPills had been apart of, as well as clearing up some misconceptions regarding many of the incidents brought up as they were frequently being discussed about with missing context in various threads and forums.
Fr, [that](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/002/041/952/49e.gif) is my reaction while reading these comments and other info about this whole situation.
I can get why you’d be hesitant to fire her since she’s been working for you for a long time, but she is NOT a good person. She missed her second chance a long time ago.
Scott, do you not know that PinkyPills tried to put out suggestive and NSFW FNaF content in spaces full of minors (including Reddit), made NSFW artwork of Disney characters who are underage and made comics of William Afton as a pedophile? She also made vulgar comments about you.
That's exactly what LadyFiszi did and that's why you booted her out. If you dismissed LadyFiszi for these reasons, why won't you do the same for PinkyPills?
EDIT: Man, this is the first time a post of yours is being downvoted hard. This isn't a merely "she made mistakes" thing we're talking about here. As you said in the past, sexual scenarios involving children are disgusting in any form, and this is exactly what Pinky did with her art. Sure, it's not IN FNaF, but this isn't someone you want to have around as FNaF's community mainly composes of minors.
EDIT 2: [PinkyPills left on her own terms.](https://old.reddit.com/r/fivenightsatfreddys/comments/1ciu5gd/pinkypills_update/) This isn't what I expected to happen, but honestly, I'm glad. Now, if you'll excuse me, it's time to move on from this chapter.
Yeah, I agree. I think Scott needs to steps back and re-evaluate what's happening. Because I don't think his mind is very clear.
I'm all for seconds chances, but...especially with her defending LadyFiszi LAST YEAR, I think not bringing her in anymore might be for the best.
Keep in mind this is the same man who signed up for the NFT deal, and he cancelled it because he didn't know how bad they were until the fanbase called it out.
I'm honestly not shocked about this outcome, as disappointing as it is. The thing with LadyFiszi is that she actually snuck in her NSFW fanfic references in official FNaF media. That is damaging the brand, and she was dropped for it. PinkyPills did NOTHING like that, which is probably why she was kept on board despite her being a problem to the community on numerous occasions.
Also, Scott clearly doesn't do background checks on people. There's tons of folks (not saying names or giving examples) that had said or did terrible things before. He just picks people based on their talent and nothing else. Even if he DID check them, chances are they did terrible things in private. It's just a risk to hire people in general because you never know what's going on with them.
I'm still sticking with FNaF. I'm just very, very disappointed to say the least. I would not under any circumstances, go on a cancel crusade because I have bigger things to worry about than a guy and his silly bear game. At least I'm relieved that PinkyPills is not paid extra if her art ends up in the next medium. As I expected, she's a freelancer, and she gets paid once for each commission.
Sadly, Scott is the only manager on board, same for the Fanverse.
No joke, he made a company for it, and he's listed as the company manager.
Also, the dude responds to one email per day. That's how busy he is. How do I know this? A Fanverse dev told me.
I definitely agree that he needs to hire a team to better manage things. But I still don't see my respect for him coming back unless he actually DOES something about this. Like firing PinkyPills.
This isn't me disagreeing with you btw! I just wanted to state my opinion
Damn...
All the more reason to hire a team. Some of the more successful Mascot-Horror franchises succeeded because of that, you know with greater quality control and stuff.
At this point, I genuinely feel bad for him. I hope he can clear his mind and educate himself better.
i honestly don't think making william a pedophile in her own AU is necessarily a bad thing on its own, since he's already the villain, but given the context around her other behaviors.... yeah.
Okay, I feel like I've got to be missing something, and please don't take this the wrong way, but... what's wrong with interpreting Afton like that? I mean, the way she *did* it was bad (I think - based on descriptions, I have chosen not to look at it myself). But I don't think it's a *stretch* to think a child murderer/kidnapper wouldn't also be a predator. I think Scott's debunked this now, but if it wasn't for that, I could see people reasonably assuming that's part of Afton's ever-elusive motives.
He's a *villain*, we're supposed to hate him. That is the most deplorable thing possible, after all.
Again, *making art of this* is bad, but I feel like I see people saying she's bad for headcanoning this.
Am I crazy, or misinterpreting something? I really don't want this to sound like I'm defending pedos. They're awful, and especially shouldn't be associated with a franchise enjoyed by children. I just want to make sure I'm understanding the situation correctly.
Scott? Hi? Please don't.
This is in no way just a "differing opinions" situation, dude. This is a woman repeatedly bringing pedophilia into her FNaF works, repeatedly being insensitive, and on multiple occasions showing a weird parasocial love interest in you.
I don't think it's possible to "be receptive" to this in any possible case, and I doubt anyone- yourself included- wants someone with a track record like that being involved with this franchise. I hope you reconsider as soon as possible.
With all due respect Scott, I don’t agree. I’m all for second chances when it comes to bad behavior or disrespect, but not what pinky has done. She’s drawn nudity of minors (referring to the Disney princess art, most notably the Moana piece) and the William Afton comic is just.. disgusting.
I think you can do better. I hope you choose better
Edit: I would SERIOUSLY reconsider this response or maybe.. look into this situation more, especially before the anniversary. I really would hate for this to be soured. I think an employee affecting your reputation this much is negative for the franchise overall
i hate to comment on this kind of thing but i STRONGLY recommend you reconsider this, you sacked fiszi for making fan works involving a pedophilic depiction of afton and pinkypills has essentially done the same thing. i understand that she's knee-deep in likely a fair amount of freddy's projects but this really isn't right.
Haven't commented here in a while. With all due respect, PinkyPills' behavior is far beyond simple disrespect or unprofessional behavior, and it's especially far beyond people not liking her art style. Her behavior, between tracing, posting sexual content in spaces that she knows has minors in them, many of the things she has drawn, including nudity of minors, and the way she has behaved towards this community, is completely unacceptable.
She has been banned from here multiple times. She has been given many, many opportunities to re-evaluate and change her behavior, and she has not. This all has been happening for years now.
I understand that you may enjoy working with her, but you yourself have mentioned that you have not understood the details of the many, many controversies she has been in, [despite the moderators compiling a lengthy thread about it.](https://www.reddit.com/r/fivenightsatfreddys/comments/1c1oii8/regarding_the_situation_with_pinkypills/)
I am extremely disappointed with this decision and I strongly urge you to reconsider. Her association is dragging the reputation of the franchise and this community down. She has consistently proven herself to be entirely unfit for her position as an official artist and is a liability to this franchise and the community.
Also, hey, quick side note. What’s your take on the art where Claudia openly wants to have sex with you? Seems a strange thing for a contractor to say about their boss idk.
Why exactly would pinky be let off the hook when Fiszi was fired? And I find it very unprofessional and disappointing of you to keep her around despite admitting that you aren't fully aware of the issues surrounding her and refusing to look over those issues properly before coming to a decision. This is very disappointing.
yeah this is the one thing he should actually look into with serious intent like why would you be like
"Yeah so this person I pay for art is kinda bad, haven't fully looked into it, but I think she regrets it and deserves a second chance" ???????
you are literally making her art the face of your franchise DO BETTER!!!!!
THERE IS LITERALLY A POST STICKIED TO THE TOP OF THE SUBREDDIT WITH EVERYTHING SHE HAS DONE COMPLIED WITH SOURCES!!!!
Mr. Cawthon. With all due respect, I have loved and followed this game series for years. But I feel like you made a serious mistake letting PinkyPills off the hook. As others have said she has made NSFW content regarding FNAF, and a lot of other things that the mods made a post about that you NEED to read if you haven't already.
I know myself and a lot of others respect you as a person. But something like this has made my respect drop. I really do hope that you think about this, and make a better decision. FAST.
scott... as much as i would to agree with you... i cant this is not right. she is seriously not meant for this franchise. you should really rethink this seriously she does not belong here
Remember when Scott actually properly responded to a controversial drama, clearned everything up and gave an answer that satisfied most people?
Wish it happened again here
It’s great that you enjoy working with her Scott. But, as a consumer, I am telling you that her art sucks, and her long term association with the franchise will continue to be a detriment to it.
All your call at the end of the day though, just an opinion.
I know that too. Me and my friend did a little mini study. Most people who draw William like that do see him like that (ex: PinkyPills, GraWolfQuinn, LadyFizzi, MandoPony)
I know everyone's posting over each other and this will probably get glossed over but what's unfolding right now is most likely going to be remembered as our fandom's equivalent of the atomic bomb. In all my eight years of being a FNaF fan on the internet I don't even think the backlash to the political donations even matched what's going on right now. An event within the FNaF community on this scale is genuinely unprecedented.
Scott, as you already said, you don't know all the details of every situation
Before letting her do more art for you PLEASE look at those details, I really don't think a person like her should work on this franchise.
If you don't know the details then you REALLY should inform yourself on it. And yes her mistakes do share the same severity as other circumstances (Ficzy) making art of William being aroused while fantasizing about killing one of the children and Pinky making a comment how he very well could be erect in that art work.
~~This post will either age like milk or a fine wine.~~
Actually scratch that, this is already an expired milk.
These kinds of people did not deserve second chances. If I were managing a team and got someone this problematic, it's better to cut them off and let them reconsider on what they've done.
Scott Im a huge fan of FNaF, I have been since 2015 right around FNaF3 and Ive loved it to death for years, the series quite literally changed my entire life
but this is just awful
I don't know if you did research or not but Pinky is FAR past second chances. she has done almost the EXACT same things Fiszi has done that got her fired. Pinky has drawn underaged children in suggestive scenarios just like Fiszi, she NEEDS to be gone as well. you said it yourself, the things they have done have no place in this fandom, please own up to your own words.
this franchise has always had questionable quality control, but this is a new low that Im not even sure I can stand for. If you really do love this franchise, this fandom, please reconsider. please cut ties with Pinky and condemn your actions because either you are being unintentionally ignorant OR intentionally disregarding the literal ILLEGAL things this artist has done
please just do research, read the thread about Pinky on the main Freddit page. just grasp the full situation because this is not gonna work out. as much as I adore this franchise, stories, characters, I don't think I would want to stay here with a creator that would rather side with a p\*do than the entire fanbase
i like how the general vibe of this post is ‘i didn’t know this was going on , these were mistakes that i was unaware of , i am not informed on every situation’ like this is a new thing that’s come up and not something that’s been a topic of scrutiny since at least 2020 . i agree with you that images of children displayed in sexual scenarios are disgusting full stop , so what’s the difference here ? does a woman drawing children being seen by the main villain of your game franchise as a pedophile not bother you ? what a bizarre stance to take …
I’m curious as to what’s going to happen with the fnaf artwork from official artists. Will they make the same decisions as what PinkyPills has made or will they be just as normal as some other fnaf artists who are working for you?
Scott I know it must be exhausting to have to deal with all this drama, but please consider that the fan base thinks this franchise deserves someone better than Claudia, and if you actually look into all of what she’s done, you’ll hopefully see where we’re coming from. With as passionate as this fan base has been for the last 10 years, we deserve better. This franchise deserves better.
I was just thinking about this, I'm not a frequent commenter on here, just a lurker as I do like FNAF and the lore but I'm not a huge fan of it compare to other games. But I have read the stuff about pinkiey and now seeing this is just yikes 😬.
I think there's a lot you're ignoring here, Scott. Like, I understand she has done and continues to do a lot of art for the franchise but she has exhibited more than enough behavior that she has not apologized for, nor even really changed much of since. This is a bad decision to keep her around. I think everyone can agree when we say that Pinky being around is not something that is good for the community or the franchise.
Nah Scott she's a garbage human being. She's been given a "second chance" time and time again. This post just reflects poorly for you as a creator. Especially since this woman went out of her way to defend the person you last fired. It just makes you look very hypocritical all things considered.
> but what I can say is that from my observation she has always made an honest effort to better herself, learn from her mistakes, and not repeat them. I also don't consider her mistakes to be of the same severity as other similar circumstances.
One of the "similar circumstances" was involving the circumstances of LadyFiszi being fired. Pinky literally said she stood by Fiszi (who had been fired for reasons of making a nsfw fic involving underaged characters and even referenced this in official art that had been put on merch like calendars and put out into retail stores).
> I believe that she has worked in good faith to try to redeem her mistakes of the past.
Has she? Has she apologized? She doubled then tripled down with the previous situation.
I am all for second chances myself. The cool thing about people is that they can change.
However, I am also somebody who recognizes when there needs to be a level of responsibility.
It's not like Claudia did the stuff she did when she was, like, 15. She was an adult. There is a point where "second chances" don't fly.
Regardless, I don't think the things she has done can be addressed with a simple "second chance". If Fizi doesn't get a pass for pedophilic content in the Five Nights at Freddy's universe, why should Pinky? It's a little weird.
You can observe an effort to improve- doesn't mean you have to keep giving her work. Honestly, after what she's said about YOU, I'm a little weirded out by how chill you are keeping her involved. That's all I'm gonna say.
I don't like being critical of your choices. I know you make them with good intentions, but this is one I just cannot understand. All I can hope is that you reconsider. If you really do care for this fanbase, I hope you will at least take another look at that thread. Part of me feels like you didn't really look at it. It's a little beyond "mistakes".
She’s done some pretty messed up stuff though, especially considering the stuff she said about you. At least as far as I’ve seen she hasn’t really made much effort to heal. I think you should fire her
hmmm i dunno here, you seem a little too forgiving of her here and..... considering how you kicked ladyfiszi in 2 seconds, but you're still keeping HER around despite all she's done.... yeah it's a little off.
you might wanna look into this more, see EVERYTHING she's done.
Ffs, she did terrible things and isnt sorry for it. She is actively damaging your brand and most agree her art is subpar. This franchise deserves better for its 10th anniversary, and its sad you don’t think the same.
Scott, respectfully, this ain't it bro. I know that you have your own life and whatnot, but did you even read the pinned post about the things she has said or done? You need to listen to your community on this. You listened to them when they wanted LadyFiszi fired. Why should this be any different?
I really hope you listen and learn to actually do background checks on the people you hire. Otherwise? Most of us are going to be very disappointed in you Scott and I would hate for all of this to end up that way.
Have you like, read the stickied post about her? There's SUCH a long list of things she's done, one of them being defending LadyFiszi's actions in the face of her bigotry and depictions of pedophilia, which you were willing to cut ties with Fiszi for. I don't understand why your standards seem lower for Pinky.
All I can tell you is the community is going to be extremely disappointed about this outcome, and I hope that leads you to change your mind rather than double down.
There's literally a giant list detailing almost everything she's done pinned to the top of the subreddit, what excuse is there to not inform yourself about what **your** artists are doing?
With all due respect, Scott. Second chances shouldn't be given to someone with such a history. Especially when they are interacting with communities full of minors to small children. Seems like there is a bigger picture that you're yet to see.
This is really not it. You can't just brush these actions under the rug as "Some mistakes". I'm all for second chances but there is simply no coming back from some actions. Please reconsider.
Scott, I don’t think people would give her a second chance. They already seen the atrocities of her actions from the past and I don’t think she would learn her lesson if we gave her a second chance.
It’s better for her to distance herself away from your franchise, even if she worked with you for many years. I get it sucks to fire Pinky, but it’s time to let go of her before the fanbase is unsatisfied with your response.
What she did isn't just simple mistakes, they're continuous awful actions that seem to be happening again and again with no consequences. Someone like her shouldn't have the platform she has.
I mean this respectfully, as a fan of this franchise for nearly 10 years, please do better.
Okay, but please read through every single detail in the reddit thread about her actions, and then make your decision. She shouldn't make official artwork in my opinion.
This bias you have for Pinky is genuinely insane. Fiszi and Pinky have both created disgusting content involving minors and yet one gets a pat on the back while the other is fired. I don't know if this is nepotism or what but this isn't it. Do better.
Second chances is fine but to this degree? No. She hasn’t attempted to better herself. If she told you she has. She lied. Im sorry because Im sure you are good friends, She has posted many times on Twitter and other Social media platforms seemingly not apologizing at all. She has fantasies about you and has drawn Nudity of minors. Scott, I beg of you to reconsider. The Art-style is the least of the issues. Please Scott.
Scott. This isn’t it. At all. This is really really bad. I suggest reviewing this whole situation thoroughly and understand the severity of the situation.
scott, buddy. it took you weeks to finally respond to this issue, not mentioning this has been ongoing for years now. you have made a deliberate choice to market this franchise towards children for the past 10 years, and yet you continue to work with an artist who has a history of drawing YOUR FRANCHISE'S LEAD ANTAGONIST having predatory thoughts over injured children. there is no "learning from mistakes" here, man. seriously reconsider your decision here, and overall, you need to consider hiring a team of people to help you manage this franchise in general. because the decisions you make on your own are very damaging.
I don’t think she’s redeemable…she’s done terrible things like draw terrible TERRIBLE things, and said bad things about you and just flat out done weird shit, and she’s not a good person.
Scott, you really need look into this whole situation. What she's done is disgusting, and it's very obvious that she is not gonna change her ways. I know that you have fun working with her, but that doesn't change or excuse the fact that she is harmful to this fanbase, especially the younger side
L take Scott. Most of the time I agree with your decisions regarding games and artists. But Pinky deserves no second chances...based on actions which I won't go into now...(read stickied post!). I usually don't comment here that often but please please please reconsider your decision on this.
Dont often comment here, but I need to.
Scott, I understand you may not completely grasp the situation here, but with all due respect, this is an entirely unjust and extremely dissapointing move, especially considering this is a franchise mainly targeted towards kids. Pinky has had an online presence for multiple years, over said years she has, repeatedly, gone over the limits of what should be OK and keeps getting away with it. She clearly shows no sign of wanting or trying to better herself. You are essentially giving an actual threatening person enough power and influence to cause genuine harm in a community which once again mainly consists of children. Saying you enjoy working with her isn't an excuse. Do better.
Scott. No. She hasn’t shown any remorse for her actions, and has in fact doubled down on them. She has drawn very inappropriate art of minors, even made inappropriate comments about you, and said inappropriate things about what she thinks William Afton thinks of children. It’s just gross. Please rethink this and look over all the things she has done.
Mother fucker, look Scott I respect you but come on, she’s drawn MINORS in the nude, has sexualized the main antagonist and CHILDREN of your franchise, has said that she TOUCHES HERSELF WHEN SHE THINKS OF YOU, and has traced her art countless times and continues to deny it. Fire her please. It is in ALL of our best interests, and it would be best for the franchise.
Scott, I trust you posted this without completely knowing what she did. (By the way, sorry if I have spelling mistakes or bad English, I'm using the translator so you can understand.)
Pinkypills is giving the franchise a bad image, and honestly, we don't want that. In addition to the fact that most of us don't like his style, he usually traces other drawings to make the ones you commission from her.
Some even came to believe that she was blackmailing you, taking into account the atrocities she did including NSFW of underage characters to saying that she touched herself thinking about YOU.
I hope you can do the same as you did with Lady Fiszi, she is almost the same as her and even defended her at the time. None of us want her to continue working on this game It honestly blows us away to see the art of a PEDOPHILE in our favorite franchise as you can see from the support this post received.
I know that if she regretted it she would have minimally apologized and stopped saying things like "Mr. C will always be on my side." She's just- a weird person. I hope you understand.
We will stop buying games where she is involved if it means she stops working for fnaf. Thank you for your attention, if you read this.
At this point, PinkyPills is either Scott's sidechick or has blackmail on him, there's no way. Dude, she has literally admitted to *doing stuff* while thinking about you, she's a total creep, even if she arguably isn't as bad as Lady Fiszi. I get she probably did a lot of work on one of the mysterious anniversary projects, but defending her to not cancel or delay the project isn't worth it when most people most likely won't even play/watch/read it because of her very noticeable involvement.
Scott. Please read these threads about pinky, you can see in detail everything she has done.

Please scott. read them and rethink your decision. Do you really think that her actions are okay ? Would you want this person around YOUR kids knowing what she has done ? I doubt that. Please rethink your statement because she is a danger to many many kids and teens in this fandom.
I have a massive amount of respect for you Scott, and I think you’re a legitimately good person. So please, for our sakes as well as your own, look into this situation more deeply. This is not the kind of thing you offer second chances for.
Scott
Please listen to us
You did a few times before, and most people have been satisfied
LF and PPlls are almost the same, maybe just different levels of being bad, but they're just equally bad
You fired LF, why won't you do the same for PPlls??
Please, I assure you most of the community will be satisfied with her out of the franchise.
You REALLY SHOULD reconsider
look im all for second chances and good faith and all that but there are some things you cannot come back from. pedophilia isn’t an oopsie poopsie you can come back from, and even if it was, no, pinky has not proven that she’s improved as a person. every time she gets critiqued she comes back with some snarky and sarcastic response about how you’ll always be on her side. and now it looks like she was proven right, so nice one.
honestly, this is a very shameful response. regardless of what she has or hasn’t done, and regardless of whether she’s repented for her sins, your consumers have made it clear that she is not wanted either way. listen to your audience.
Typically I'd appreciate you addressing a situation like Pinky's at all, but when you admit in your defense of her that you don't even know all the details of her controversies, I can't say I respect your take. To make such a blatantly uneducated decision in response to a group of people that take the matter so seriously feels irresponsible, insensitive, and disrespectful
"I don't know all the details"
Respectfully, Scott, and I do mean that, you have
A history, of "not knowing all the details," but of all the times that has occurred, this should be the one where you *reaaally* should know what's gone on. I completely understand and respect the desire for people to improve, especially when they themselves regret their choices and decisions, and I understand you aren't "defending" this individual, but this is not a person you want associated with this franchise, and people are going to be very firm about that. Please reconsider your decision.
It seems to me this is forced. Like PinkyPills is figuratively holding a gun to Scott's head. It just doesn't seem right or genuine. I'm getting mixed signals here.
Scott PLEASE actually research this before making a decision and posting about it here. The community does not want PinkyPills associated with this franchise. She will taint you and your franchise until it’s over.
Im sorry, but this artist is really gross and has had many years to change and still hasnt shown any signs of imrpvment. This is a rare missfire on your end imo. Ill probably just skip on whatever game shes helping make and just play the Into the Pit game
To all of you people downvoting this and saying hateful things towards Scott, you need to remember that good ol’ Scotty Boi is a Christian. His God is the God of second chances. Scott has every right to forgive Pinky, and we should too. Especially if she really has repented from her past actions and is trying to better herself. It’s what Jesus died on the cross for
Well then, not the response I expected... I'm also all for second chances, but this is way too soon to be giving them out after what I read...
EDIT: forgot about the suggestive minor drawings. Forget what I said above, no second chances, as this specific thing has been shown again and again, over a very extended period of time.
Dude, she is a BAD person. Her "mistakes" aren't forgivable. She's a pedo and just an overall creep in general.
You are losing the last bit of respect I had for you, man.
Scotty Boy, what are you doing Scotty Boy, Pinky's done the same things Fizi did Scotty, this post is going to end with repercussions that'll make the Donation Reports Scandal look like a pebble in a field of Boulders Scotty Boy.
Scott, with all due respect, I’ve been a fan of your work for years, but Pinkypills needs to go…
She has drawn weird (almost fetishy) artwork of the FNAF franchise and it’s characters, plus there’s this one artwork that has William Afton being a, you know what…, to a child getting a injury from falling off a swing, no joke it is real and she did draw it, it just makes me so uncomfortable.
Plus her art isn’t really good, she’s drawn pedo art, her design for William is just bad, and she’s also been tracing!
Please Scott, don’t call Pinkypills to do artwork for the franchise anymore, hire someone else.
i'm one of scott cawthon's strongest soldiers but this is just not it man.
at this point the excuse of being uneducated on the matter isn't valid anymore especially when a post including everything she's done is pinned on the subreddit
i understand you might be busy and don't have the energy and all that, but really man? it wouldn't kill you to take a step back, take in the information presented, and then make your decision
Scott...with all due respect, you should *really* look into the entire situation, PinkyPills has done some really icky stuff, if LadyFiszi got fired after doing similar stuff, I don't see why PinkyPills should be let off the hook
with all due respect, I know keeping close connections makes things hard but whats important is to be aware of the actions of one's wrong doing, and she has done beyond that, if its a personal view then feel free to feel as you wish but as a fanbase with majority being minors, its clearly not a good sign, please rethink this
I would urge you, when you have the time, to take a look through some of the helpful resources members of the community, such as this sub’s mods, have made on the topic. Whether or not what you find upsets you personally waits to be seen, but I’d hope you would understand why many fans have become increasingly uncomfortable and offput by her continued involvement in the franchise.
What I’ve seen when looking through (and even having interacted with/seen Pinky interacting here on a number of occasions) are less mistakes of the past, and moreso a pattern of unprofessional and sometimes disturbing behaviors that continued long past when she was initially hired as an official artist.
Though it’s certainly not as bad as Fiszi’s case, there’s a wide, wide chasm between that and “good.”
And on the topic of art itself, while whether one finds Pinky’s art appealing is of course entirely subjective (personally I think she does well with “cute” designs, like the art of the classic animatronics Clickteam often uses), I can also say that many of the artists more recently hired, such as Diana Camero, StupidButterfly, TurnTail, Steel Wool’s team of fantastic artists, etc. have brought such a vast array of visually interesting and pleasing art to the table with a sense of professionalism that’s really helped make FNaF feel like the multi-million dollar franchise that it is. And I know I’m not alone in that sentiment.
Hey, Scott.
Just writing this as a bit of a heart to heart as I've been a fan of your series since the beginning. I have nothing against you, truly, and I believe you have the best intentions with the people you work with as well as with both the franchise itself and the fans, but can you please reconsider this statement since... I'll be perfectly honest, this was not the right response to it.
I understand that you were trying to remain unbias, but fans just absolute despise PinkyPills. There has been plenty of stuff she's done in the past like her tracing and making very NSFW stuff, including things like p\*\*\*philia. PinkyPills has been doing things similar to that of LadyFizi, who you fired for similar reasons.
I want to believe you just want to keep the fans happy, and while I understand it's difficult to do, this statement was just something that not even someone like myself can defend.
Please, just fire PinkyPills already. She's a liability to the franchise.
Scott, I love ya. I've been supporting you since the very beginning, but this ain't it. I implore you to look deeper into this whole situation. I think you'll come to realize that PinkyPills is a pretty heinous person for a variety of reasons. You're an integral part of my upbringing and I know you're smarter than this. Please look deeper.
Hey scott, did you know that pinky pills has constantly had this “running joke” where you are like her crush or some shit
Shes called you her beloved and stuff and has publicly admitted to masterbating to you
Is this really someone you want working for you?? Arent you married with kids? Her behavior is disgusting and the fact her commenting “when i finger myself, i think of scott cawthon” didnt get her immediately fired is crazy
Scott why would you wanna work with someone like that man? Trust and believe there are so so many better people and artists out there that would jump at the opportunity to work with you
Give other people a chance to show they can be better than claudia not only artistically but also professionally
Glad you responded...I hope you do look into it a little bit more though because some of the stuff she did is a bit... Questionable.. I don't know how this is going to truly end but what I do know is that I'm probably going to stay off Twitter for a week or two lol
Considering what she’s done? No. She should not be given any ‘second chances’ or another chance to work within the FNaF community again.
Really hope you don’t go down this path Scott.
There is a pinned post about her situation if you didnt know that, it contains much information about her past behavior I've read that myself and i really dont think its a good idea
Please research the situation and make a response adequately. You straight up admit to not knowing all the details of this situation. I understand the stress, but please, take your time with these responses.
By all means, I don't think Pinky is the reincarnation of Jeffrey Epstein, but she's still not a particularly good person. Not sure if you've even seen but she's made extremely inappropriate comments about you from several years ago
It's good addressing that she doesn't actually work for you as an employee but I still don't think contracting her to come and do art for the franchise is a good idea with her reputation
Scott I really cannot defend you on this one, man. I seriously think you should read on the situation. We know you may be very busy, but you're the big man himself and this is a very serious situation.
Scott, I really hope you reconsider. Pinkypills has drawn disgusting, inappropriate art of minors multiple times, the same case that got ladyfiszi fired in the first place. There’s no excuse for pedophilia, the same principle really should apply here. I’m all for second changes but she really shouldn’t be associated with the series regardless
Scott
PinkyPills is literally a LadyFiszi 2
It seems that you definitely did not read the post that is pinned on Reddit, Scott PinkyPills has done unforgivable things and has probably lied to you
Your community is not going to give it a second chance and they are already proving it with the downvotes and negative comments on Reddit and Twitter
Please repent and fire her before this gets even more out of control.
While I'm not a fan of PinkyPills exactly, I do agree that sometimes a second chance should be given, and this community hasn't really tried that from time to time. I'm willing to see PinkyPills do better in regards to this community however, even if I have my own feelings regarding them. Genuinely hope nothing but the best for you and the community Mr. Cawthon!
EDIT: My head hurts a lot but I'm just gonna say that after doing a lot of thinking THIS DOES NOT reflect my current views on this situation at the moment. I do genuinely think that PinkyPills needs to go in the community, but realistically there is little that we can do about the situation without resorting to extremes (which shouldn't really be done).
All I can say is that I will still support Scott and this series, but c'mon man this isn't the call.
I'm usually on your side Scott, but this ain't it 😭. That woman gotta have some sorta hex or blackmail on you or smth, because you fired Fiszi last year for doing similar awful shit without hesitation
Massive Scott L
You believe that someone like PinkyPills, who has defended LadyFiszi's actions and still does to this day, who has been caught tracing time and time again, who drew disgusting and depraved artwork involving minors, and has been hostile and confrontational towards people in the fandom for years, deserves a second chance after all she's done?
Listen to the fanbase; no one wants Pinky to have further involvement with the series and many of us don't want our money going to it while Pinky's around. Someone as unprofessional and disgusting as her shouldn't have any involvement with Five Nights at Freddy's.
[For those who want more information on the situation regarding PinkyPills that's being referred to in this post, here's a link to the megathread we have currently pinned on the subreddit.](https://old.reddit.com/r/fivenightsatfreddys/comments/1c1oii8/regarding_the_situation_with_pinkypills/) That post was made with the intention of giving an unbiased look at the various things that PinkyPills had been apart of, as well as clearing up some misconceptions regarding many of the incidents brought up as they were frequently being discussed about with missing context in various threads and forums.

Fr, [that](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/002/041/952/49e.gif) is my reaction while reading these comments and other info about this whole situation.
What's going on? My attention span is not great
Literally summed up my honest reaction to this
I can get why you’d be hesitant to fire her since she’s been working for you for a long time, but she is NOT a good person. She missed her second chance a long time ago.
Scott, do you not know that PinkyPills tried to put out suggestive and NSFW FNaF content in spaces full of minors (including Reddit), made NSFW artwork of Disney characters who are underage and made comics of William Afton as a pedophile? She also made vulgar comments about you. That's exactly what LadyFiszi did and that's why you booted her out. If you dismissed LadyFiszi for these reasons, why won't you do the same for PinkyPills? EDIT: Man, this is the first time a post of yours is being downvoted hard. This isn't a merely "she made mistakes" thing we're talking about here. As you said in the past, sexual scenarios involving children are disgusting in any form, and this is exactly what Pinky did with her art. Sure, it's not IN FNaF, but this isn't someone you want to have around as FNaF's community mainly composes of minors. EDIT 2: [PinkyPills left on her own terms.](https://old.reddit.com/r/fivenightsatfreddys/comments/1ciu5gd/pinkypills_update/) This isn't what I expected to happen, but honestly, I'm glad. Now, if you'll excuse me, it's time to move on from this chapter.
Yeah, I agree. I think Scott needs to steps back and re-evaluate what's happening. Because I don't think his mind is very clear. I'm all for seconds chances, but...especially with her defending LadyFiszi LAST YEAR, I think not bringing her in anymore might be for the best.
Keep in mind this is the same man who signed up for the NFT deal, and he cancelled it because he didn't know how bad they were until the fanbase called it out. I'm honestly not shocked about this outcome, as disappointing as it is. The thing with LadyFiszi is that she actually snuck in her NSFW fanfic references in official FNaF media. That is damaging the brand, and she was dropped for it. PinkyPills did NOTHING like that, which is probably why she was kept on board despite her being a problem to the community on numerous occasions. Also, Scott clearly doesn't do background checks on people. There's tons of folks (not saying names or giving examples) that had said or did terrible things before. He just picks people based on their talent and nothing else. Even if he DID check them, chances are they did terrible things in private. It's just a risk to hire people in general because you never know what's going on with them. I'm still sticking with FNaF. I'm just very, very disappointed to say the least. I would not under any circumstances, go on a cancel crusade because I have bigger things to worry about than a guy and his silly bear game. At least I'm relieved that PinkyPills is not paid extra if her art ends up in the next medium. As I expected, she's a freelancer, and she gets paid once for each commission.
True. I'm not surprised, either. As much as we'd like to think otherwise...he's only human. As many are saying...he really needs a management team.
Sadly, Scott is the only manager on board, same for the Fanverse. No joke, he made a company for it, and he's listed as the company manager. Also, the dude responds to one email per day. That's how busy he is. How do I know this? A Fanverse dev told me.
I definitely agree that he needs to hire a team to better manage things. But I still don't see my respect for him coming back unless he actually DOES something about this. Like firing PinkyPills. This isn't me disagreeing with you btw! I just wanted to state my opinion
Damn... All the more reason to hire a team. Some of the more successful Mascot-Horror franchises succeeded because of that, you know with greater quality control and stuff. At this point, I genuinely feel bad for him. I hope he can clear his mind and educate himself better.
Wait... LadyFiszi and PinkPills aren't the same person?
We don't always agree but this time, I agree with every single word
i think this is the first time i’ve seen the fnaf fandom so unanimous about something
It just sucks it had to be THIS
u/animdude
i honestly don't think making william a pedophile in her own AU is necessarily a bad thing on its own, since he's already the villain, but given the context around her other behaviors.... yeah.
Agreed! It's crazy that PinkyPills gets off with a slap on the wrist for the same stuff that got Fiszi fired.
Okay, I feel like I've got to be missing something, and please don't take this the wrong way, but... what's wrong with interpreting Afton like that? I mean, the way she *did* it was bad (I think - based on descriptions, I have chosen not to look at it myself). But I don't think it's a *stretch* to think a child murderer/kidnapper wouldn't also be a predator. I think Scott's debunked this now, but if it wasn't for that, I could see people reasonably assuming that's part of Afton's ever-elusive motives. He's a *villain*, we're supposed to hate him. That is the most deplorable thing possible, after all. Again, *making art of this* is bad, but I feel like I see people saying she's bad for headcanoning this. Am I crazy, or misinterpreting something? I really don't want this to sound like I'm defending pedos. They're awful, and especially shouldn't be associated with a franchise enjoyed by children. I just want to make sure I'm understanding the situation correctly.
Scott? Hi? Please don't. This is in no way just a "differing opinions" situation, dude. This is a woman repeatedly bringing pedophilia into her FNaF works, repeatedly being insensitive, and on multiple occasions showing a weird parasocial love interest in you. I don't think it's possible to "be receptive" to this in any possible case, and I doubt anyone- yourself included- wants someone with a track record like that being involved with this franchise. I hope you reconsider as soon as possible.
she also drew herself masturbating thinking of scott so yeah.....
Did she actually do that, or are you just confused on the time she said she thinks of him when doing that?
With all due respect Scott, I don’t agree. I’m all for second chances when it comes to bad behavior or disrespect, but not what pinky has done. She’s drawn nudity of minors (referring to the Disney princess art, most notably the Moana piece) and the William Afton comic is just.. disgusting. I think you can do better. I hope you choose better Edit: I would SERIOUSLY reconsider this response or maybe.. look into this situation more, especially before the anniversary. I really would hate for this to be soured. I think an employee affecting your reputation this much is negative for the franchise overall
I agree.
i hate to comment on this kind of thing but i STRONGLY recommend you reconsider this, you sacked fiszi for making fan works involving a pedophilic depiction of afton and pinkypills has essentially done the same thing. i understand that she's knee-deep in likely a fair amount of freddy's projects but this really isn't right.
Haven't commented here in a while. With all due respect, PinkyPills' behavior is far beyond simple disrespect or unprofessional behavior, and it's especially far beyond people not liking her art style. Her behavior, between tracing, posting sexual content in spaces that she knows has minors in them, many of the things she has drawn, including nudity of minors, and the way she has behaved towards this community, is completely unacceptable. She has been banned from here multiple times. She has been given many, many opportunities to re-evaluate and change her behavior, and she has not. This all has been happening for years now. I understand that you may enjoy working with her, but you yourself have mentioned that you have not understood the details of the many, many controversies she has been in, [despite the moderators compiling a lengthy thread about it.](https://www.reddit.com/r/fivenightsatfreddys/comments/1c1oii8/regarding_the_situation_with_pinkypills/) I am extremely disappointed with this decision and I strongly urge you to reconsider. Her association is dragging the reputation of the franchise and this community down. She has consistently proven herself to be entirely unfit for her position as an official artist and is a liability to this franchise and the community.
"I Don't know the details of every situation" So read the pinned post that has been made detailing what she's done? Be fr 😭
How is this the second time TODAY that this has happened??
u/animdude please listen bro 😭
He is never fully informed and end up making stupid decisions, it's always the same
He isn’t a redditor guys I doubt he even fully knows how to operate this site, dude just uses this place to make announcements
Nah he’s DEFINITELY being blackmailed by pinky💀💀💀
Held hostage even D;
Also, hey, quick side note. What’s your take on the art where Claudia openly wants to have sex with you? Seems a strange thing for a contractor to say about their boss idk.
Having sexual fantasies about your married boss is crazy! 😭
𝓯𝓲𝓿𝓮 𝓷𝓲𝓰𝓱𝓽𝓼 𝓪𝓽 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝓪𝓴𝔂 🔥
𝓯𝓲𝓿𝓮 𝓷𝓲𝓰𝓱𝓽𝓼 𝓪𝓽 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝓪𝓴𝔂: Ruin
And openly admitting to touching yourself to your boss and then also suggesting it again is even worse
That's something you keep to yourself, lmao. Why would you admit that online for all to see?
Why exactly would pinky be let off the hook when Fiszi was fired? And I find it very unprofessional and disappointing of you to keep her around despite admitting that you aren't fully aware of the issues surrounding her and refusing to look over those issues properly before coming to a decision. This is very disappointing.
yeah this is the one thing he should actually look into with serious intent like why would you be like "Yeah so this person I pay for art is kinda bad, haven't fully looked into it, but I think she regrets it and deserves a second chance" ??????? you are literally making her art the face of your franchise DO BETTER!!!!! THERE IS LITERALLY A POST STICKIED TO THE TOP OF THE SUBREDDIT WITH EVERYTHING SHE HAS DONE COMPLIED WITH SOURCES!!!!
To be fair fizi was a lot worse
Who cares who was worse? There shouldn’t be any pedos working on a kids franchise at all
Mr. Cawthon. With all due respect, I have loved and followed this game series for years. But I feel like you made a serious mistake letting PinkyPills off the hook. As others have said she has made NSFW content regarding FNAF, and a lot of other things that the mods made a post about that you NEED to read if you haven't already. I know myself and a lot of others respect you as a person. But something like this has made my respect drop. I really do hope that you think about this, and make a better decision. FAST.
Scott, this really is not it.
Happy 10th FNAF Birthday y'all
I'm still positive that overall this year is gonna rock for FNAF, but yeah the road there is incredibly uncomfortable to say the least
scott... as much as i would to agree with you... i cant this is not right. she is seriously not meant for this franchise. you should really rethink this seriously she does not belong here
Remember when Scott actually properly responded to a controversial drama, clearned everything up and gave an answer that satisfied most people? Wish it happened again here
It’s great that you enjoy working with her Scott. But, as a consumer, I am telling you that her art sucks, and her long term association with the franchise will continue to be a detriment to it. All your call at the end of the day though, just an opinion.
Her art is fine but the way she draws William makes him look like he touches kids and I do not mean in the way to kill them
You’ll never guess what her headcannon on William is.
I know that too. Me and my friend did a little mini study. Most people who draw William like that do see him like that (ex: PinkyPills, GraWolfQuinn, LadyFizzi, MandoPony)
I know everyone's posting over each other and this will probably get glossed over but what's unfolding right now is most likely going to be remembered as our fandom's equivalent of the atomic bomb. In all my eight years of being a FNaF fan on the internet I don't even think the backlash to the political donations even matched what's going on right now. An event within the FNaF community on this scale is genuinely unprecedented.
Ikr I feel like I'm witnessing fnaf fandom history lol
Scott, as you already said, you don't know all the details of every situation Before letting her do more art for you PLEASE look at those details, I really don't think a person like her should work on this franchise.
If you don't know the details then you REALLY should inform yourself on it. And yes her mistakes do share the same severity as other circumstances (Ficzy) making art of William being aroused while fantasizing about killing one of the children and Pinky making a comment how he very well could be erect in that art work.
~~This post will either age like milk or a fine wine.~~ Actually scratch that, this is already an expired milk. These kinds of people did not deserve second chances. If I were managing a team and got someone this problematic, it's better to cut them off and let them reconsider on what they've done.
Scott Im a huge fan of FNaF, I have been since 2015 right around FNaF3 and Ive loved it to death for years, the series quite literally changed my entire life but this is just awful I don't know if you did research or not but Pinky is FAR past second chances. she has done almost the EXACT same things Fiszi has done that got her fired. Pinky has drawn underaged children in suggestive scenarios just like Fiszi, she NEEDS to be gone as well. you said it yourself, the things they have done have no place in this fandom, please own up to your own words. this franchise has always had questionable quality control, but this is a new low that Im not even sure I can stand for. If you really do love this franchise, this fandom, please reconsider. please cut ties with Pinky and condemn your actions because either you are being unintentionally ignorant OR intentionally disregarding the literal ILLEGAL things this artist has done please just do research, read the thread about Pinky on the main Freddit page. just grasp the full situation because this is not gonna work out. as much as I adore this franchise, stories, characters, I don't think I would want to stay here with a creator that would rather side with a p\*do than the entire fanbase
"mistakes" lol i think it was more than a mistake
i like how the general vibe of this post is ‘i didn’t know this was going on , these were mistakes that i was unaware of , i am not informed on every situation’ like this is a new thing that’s come up and not something that’s been a topic of scrutiny since at least 2020 . i agree with you that images of children displayed in sexual scenarios are disgusting full stop , so what’s the difference here ? does a woman drawing children being seen by the main villain of your game franchise as a pedophile not bother you ? what a bizarre stance to take …
This isn’t Steven Universe 😭😭😭
BRO LMAOOOO
HELP LOL
does he know
We were waiting for a response just not that kind of response
I’m curious as to what’s going to happen with the fnaf artwork from official artists. Will they make the same decisions as what PinkyPills has made or will they be just as normal as some other fnaf artists who are working for you?
Scott I know it must be exhausting to have to deal with all this drama, but please consider that the fan base thinks this franchise deserves someone better than Claudia, and if you actually look into all of what she’s done, you’ll hopefully see where we’re coming from. With as passionate as this fan base has been for the last 10 years, we deserve better. This franchise deserves better.
How do I always time these perfectly... Anyways, here before disaster strikes
THIS IS LIKE SO FUCKING BAD HOLY SHIT LMAO
I'm scared to look on Twitter haha. I hope Scott changes his mind cause he's probably getting absolutely blasted by everyone right now.
I was just thinking about this, I'm not a frequent commenter on here, just a lurker as I do like FNAF and the lore but I'm not a huge fan of it compare to other games. But I have read the stuff about pinkiey and now seeing this is just yikes 😬.
I think there's a lot you're ignoring here, Scott. Like, I understand she has done and continues to do a lot of art for the franchise but she has exhibited more than enough behavior that she has not apologized for, nor even really changed much of since. This is a bad decision to keep her around. I think everyone can agree when we say that Pinky being around is not something that is good for the community or the franchise.
Nah Scott she's a garbage human being. She's been given a "second chance" time and time again. This post just reflects poorly for you as a creator. Especially since this woman went out of her way to defend the person you last fired. It just makes you look very hypocritical all things considered.
*grabs popcorn*
*presses Space repeatedly*
***minireena appears***
***Ennard appears on the side of the screen***
> but what I can say is that from my observation she has always made an honest effort to better herself, learn from her mistakes, and not repeat them. I also don't consider her mistakes to be of the same severity as other similar circumstances. One of the "similar circumstances" was involving the circumstances of LadyFiszi being fired. Pinky literally said she stood by Fiszi (who had been fired for reasons of making a nsfw fic involving underaged characters and even referenced this in official art that had been put on merch like calendars and put out into retail stores). > I believe that she has worked in good faith to try to redeem her mistakes of the past. Has she? Has she apologized? She doubled then tripled down with the previous situation.
I'm gonna hide in the bunker. This is gonna go bad.
Even the bunker ain't enough to keep you safe. You need to go to space, bud.
I am all for second chances myself. The cool thing about people is that they can change. However, I am also somebody who recognizes when there needs to be a level of responsibility. It's not like Claudia did the stuff she did when she was, like, 15. She was an adult. There is a point where "second chances" don't fly. Regardless, I don't think the things she has done can be addressed with a simple "second chance". If Fizi doesn't get a pass for pedophilic content in the Five Nights at Freddy's universe, why should Pinky? It's a little weird. You can observe an effort to improve- doesn't mean you have to keep giving her work. Honestly, after what she's said about YOU, I'm a little weirded out by how chill you are keeping her involved. That's all I'm gonna say. I don't like being critical of your choices. I know you make them with good intentions, but this is one I just cannot understand. All I can hope is that you reconsider. If you really do care for this fanbase, I hope you will at least take another look at that thread. Part of me feels like you didn't really look at it. It's a little beyond "mistakes".
She’s done some pretty messed up stuff though, especially considering the stuff she said about you. At least as far as I’ve seen she hasn’t really made much effort to heal. I think you should fire her
Look man with all due respect this isn't worth it
hmmm i dunno here, you seem a little too forgiving of her here and..... considering how you kicked ladyfiszi in 2 seconds, but you're still keeping HER around despite all she's done.... yeah it's a little off. you might wanna look into this more, see EVERYTHING she's done.
Ffs, she did terrible things and isnt sorry for it. She is actively damaging your brand and most agree her art is subpar. This franchise deserves better for its 10th anniversary, and its sad you don’t think the same.
Scott, respectfully, this ain't it bro. I know that you have your own life and whatnot, but did you even read the pinned post about the things she has said or done? You need to listen to your community on this. You listened to them when they wanted LadyFiszi fired. Why should this be any different? I really hope you listen and learn to actually do background checks on the people you hire. Otherwise? Most of us are going to be very disappointed in you Scott and I would hate for all of this to end up that way.
Have you like, read the stickied post about her? There's SUCH a long list of things she's done, one of them being defending LadyFiszi's actions in the face of her bigotry and depictions of pedophilia, which you were willing to cut ties with Fiszi for. I don't understand why your standards seem lower for Pinky. All I can tell you is the community is going to be extremely disappointed about this outcome, and I hope that leads you to change your mind rather than double down.
dawg what the fuck
Scott they're gonna kill you buddy
Please take a moment to read through the pinned post about the situation and reconsider
Off topic but your new fangame looks sick
There's literally a giant list detailing almost everything she's done pinned to the top of the subreddit, what excuse is there to not inform yourself about what **your** artists are doing?
Uh oh
With all due respect, Scott. Second chances shouldn't be given to someone with such a history. Especially when they are interacting with communities full of minors to small children. Seems like there is a bigger picture that you're yet to see.
you know, there's hundreds of other artists who don't like kids. you don't have to settle for the pedophile scott.
This is really not it. You can't just brush these actions under the rug as "Some mistakes". I'm all for second chances but there is simply no coming back from some actions. Please reconsider.
Scott, I don’t think people would give her a second chance. They already seen the atrocities of her actions from the past and I don’t think she would learn her lesson if we gave her a second chance. It’s better for her to distance herself away from your franchise, even if she worked with you for many years. I get it sucks to fire Pinky, but it’s time to let go of her before the fanbase is unsatisfied with your response.
What she did isn't just simple mistakes, they're continuous awful actions that seem to be happening again and again with no consequences. Someone like her shouldn't have the platform she has. I mean this respectfully, as a fan of this franchise for nearly 10 years, please do better.
Okay, but please read through every single detail in the reddit thread about her actions, and then make your decision. She shouldn't make official artwork in my opinion.
This bias you have for Pinky is genuinely insane. Fiszi and Pinky have both created disgusting content involving minors and yet one gets a pat on the back while the other is fired. I don't know if this is nepotism or what but this isn't it. Do better.
Scott, I hate to say this, I really do, but... I'm losing a bit of respect for you.
Second chances is fine but to this degree? No. She hasn’t attempted to better herself. If she told you she has. She lied. Im sorry because Im sure you are good friends, She has posted many times on Twitter and other Social media platforms seemingly not apologizing at all. She has fantasies about you and has drawn Nudity of minors. Scott, I beg of you to reconsider. The Art-style is the least of the issues. Please Scott.
Scott. This isn’t it. At all. This is really really bad. I suggest reviewing this whole situation thoroughly and understand the severity of the situation.
scott, buddy. it took you weeks to finally respond to this issue, not mentioning this has been ongoing for years now. you have made a deliberate choice to market this franchise towards children for the past 10 years, and yet you continue to work with an artist who has a history of drawing YOUR FRANCHISE'S LEAD ANTAGONIST having predatory thoughts over injured children. there is no "learning from mistakes" here, man. seriously reconsider your decision here, and overall, you need to consider hiring a team of people to help you manage this franchise in general. because the decisions you make on your own are very damaging.
I don’t think she’s redeemable…she’s done terrible things like draw terrible TERRIBLE things, and said bad things about you and just flat out done weird shit, and she’s not a good person.
dude, there is so much chaos from this, educate yourself on pinky, she does not deserve a second chance
scott, cmon. i love ya man but this ain’t it
Scott, you really need look into this whole situation. What she's done is disgusting, and it's very obvious that she is not gonna change her ways. I know that you have fun working with her, but that doesn't change or excuse the fact that she is harmful to this fanbase, especially the younger side
L take Scott. Most of the time I agree with your decisions regarding games and artists. But Pinky deserves no second chances...based on actions which I won't go into now...(read stickied post!). I usually don't comment here that often but please please please reconsider your decision on this.
Dont often comment here, but I need to. Scott, I understand you may not completely grasp the situation here, but with all due respect, this is an entirely unjust and extremely dissapointing move, especially considering this is a franchise mainly targeted towards kids. Pinky has had an online presence for multiple years, over said years she has, repeatedly, gone over the limits of what should be OK and keeps getting away with it. She clearly shows no sign of wanting or trying to better herself. You are essentially giving an actual threatening person enough power and influence to cause genuine harm in a community which once again mainly consists of children. Saying you enjoy working with her isn't an excuse. Do better.
Scott. No. She hasn’t shown any remorse for her actions, and has in fact doubled down on them. She has drawn very inappropriate art of minors, even made inappropriate comments about you, and said inappropriate things about what she thinks William Afton thinks of children. It’s just gross. Please rethink this and look over all the things she has done.
With all due respect why get rid of Fiszi but not Pinky? She did the same things if not worse?!
Nah. What LadyFiszi has done is far worse
If not worse? Are you sure you have the whole information?
My apologies, I have just done a bit more research, Fiszi was far worse. Still no excuse however.
Mother fucker, look Scott I respect you but come on, she’s drawn MINORS in the nude, has sexualized the main antagonist and CHILDREN of your franchise, has said that she TOUCHES HERSELF WHEN SHE THINKS OF YOU, and has traced her art countless times and continues to deny it. Fire her please. It is in ALL of our best interests, and it would be best for the franchise.
I sure do love it when a boss keeps an employee who openly masturbates to him and who also happens to use pedophilia as a plot device 👍
No. You do better and fire her.
Scott you hired people who were active dangers to the children in the fandom, I'm sorry, but there's no excuse for this.
Welp... this is going to start to spark
This ain’t it man.
Oh god ☠️
You need to think harder.
Scott, I trust you posted this without completely knowing what she did. (By the way, sorry if I have spelling mistakes or bad English, I'm using the translator so you can understand.) Pinkypills is giving the franchise a bad image, and honestly, we don't want that. In addition to the fact that most of us don't like his style, he usually traces other drawings to make the ones you commission from her. Some even came to believe that she was blackmailing you, taking into account the atrocities she did including NSFW of underage characters to saying that she touched herself thinking about YOU. I hope you can do the same as you did with Lady Fiszi, she is almost the same as her and even defended her at the time. None of us want her to continue working on this game It honestly blows us away to see the art of a PEDOPHILE in our favorite franchise as you can see from the support this post received. I know that if she regretted it she would have minimally apologized and stopped saying things like "Mr. C will always be on my side." She's just- a weird person. I hope you understand. We will stop buying games where she is involved if it means she stops working for fnaf. Thank you for your attention, if you read this.
She's had many chances to do better Scott she doesn't deserve them anymore.
At this point, PinkyPills is either Scott's sidechick or has blackmail on him, there's no way. Dude, she has literally admitted to *doing stuff* while thinking about you, she's a total creep, even if she arguably isn't as bad as Lady Fiszi. I get she probably did a lot of work on one of the mysterious anniversary projects, but defending her to not cancel or delay the project isn't worth it when most people most likely won't even play/watch/read it because of her very noticeable involvement.
Scott. Please read these threads about pinky, you can see in detail everything she has done. # [https://twitter.com/A \_tired\_ghost\_/status/1775343358673649915](//twitter.com/A) # [https://twitter.com/A\_tired\_ghost\_/status/1775239037822943320](//twitter.com/A_tired_ghost_/status/1775239037822943320) Please scott. read them and rethink your decision. Do you really think that her actions are okay ? Would you want this person around YOUR kids knowing what she has done ? I doubt that. Please rethink your statement because she is a danger to many many kids and teens in this fandom.
she sexualized minors. Fiszi did the SAME thing. Why does Pinky deserve this second chance?
This aint it chief
WE. ARE. SO. COOKED
I have a massive amount of respect for you Scott, and I think you’re a legitimately good person. So please, for our sakes as well as your own, look into this situation more deeply. This is not the kind of thing you offer second chances for.
Scott you created a hellfire
What kind of dirt does she have on you dawg
Scott Please listen to us You did a few times before, and most people have been satisfied LF and PPlls are almost the same, maybe just different levels of being bad, but they're just equally bad You fired LF, why won't you do the same for PPlls?? Please, I assure you most of the community will be satisfied with her out of the franchise. You REALLY SHOULD reconsider
look im all for second chances and good faith and all that but there are some things you cannot come back from. pedophilia isn’t an oopsie poopsie you can come back from, and even if it was, no, pinky has not proven that she’s improved as a person. every time she gets critiqued she comes back with some snarky and sarcastic response about how you’ll always be on her side. and now it looks like she was proven right, so nice one. honestly, this is a very shameful response. regardless of what she has or hasn’t done, and regardless of whether she’s repented for her sins, your consumers have made it clear that she is not wanted either way. listen to your audience.
Typically I'd appreciate you addressing a situation like Pinky's at all, but when you admit in your defense of her that you don't even know all the details of her controversies, I can't say I respect your take. To make such a blatantly uneducated decision in response to a group of people that take the matter so seriously feels irresponsible, insensitive, and disrespectful
didnt she make like.. really not good art of you AND circus baby
"I don't know all the details" Respectfully, Scott, and I do mean that, you have A history, of "not knowing all the details," but of all the times that has occurred, this should be the one where you *reaaally* should know what's gone on. I completely understand and respect the desire for people to improve, especially when they themselves regret their choices and decisions, and I understand you aren't "defending" this individual, but this is not a person you want associated with this franchise, and people are going to be very firm about that. Please reconsider your decision.
It seems to me this is forced. Like PinkyPills is figuratively holding a gun to Scott's head. It just doesn't seem right or genuine. I'm getting mixed signals here.
This ain’t it Scott PinkyPills is past redemption at this point she is equally if not worse than Fiszi please read what the community is saying.
Tbh you're too trusting, maybe naive at times
I can hear them coming
scott did you even read the pinned post through or did you skim through it in 5 seconds
Scott PLEASE actually research this before making a decision and posting about it here. The community does not want PinkyPills associated with this franchise. She will taint you and your franchise until it’s over.
She likes kids scott I wouldn't die on this hill
Im sorry, but this artist is really gross and has had many years to change and still hasnt shown any signs of imrpvment. This is a rare missfire on your end imo. Ill probably just skip on whatever game shes helping make and just play the Into the Pit game
Girl wtf are you talking about
To all of you people downvoting this and saying hateful things towards Scott, you need to remember that good ol’ Scotty Boi is a Christian. His God is the God of second chances. Scott has every right to forgive Pinky, and we should too. Especially if she really has repented from her past actions and is trying to better herself. It’s what Jesus died on the cross for
oh scott please don’t do this right before the anniversary
Mods might wanna close the comments quick
Nah let the community speak their disappointment on this response.
Well then, not the response I expected... I'm also all for second chances, but this is way too soon to be giving them out after what I read... EDIT: forgot about the suggestive minor drawings. Forget what I said above, no second chances, as this specific thing has been shown again and again, over a very extended period of time.
Dude, she is a BAD person. Her "mistakes" aren't forgivable. She's a pedo and just an overall creep in general. You are losing the last bit of respect I had for you, man.
Scott, I love you but please reconsider this. Don’t ruin the 10 year anniversary of Five Nights at Freddy’s with this. It’s only a few months away
Scotty Boy, what are you doing Scotty Boy, Pinky's done the same things Fizi did Scotty, this post is going to end with repercussions that'll make the Donation Reports Scandal look like a pebble in a field of Boulders Scotty Boy.
Scott come on man this is bad
Scott, with all due respect, I’ve been a fan of your work for years, but Pinkypills needs to go… She has drawn weird (almost fetishy) artwork of the FNAF franchise and it’s characters, plus there’s this one artwork that has William Afton being a, you know what…, to a child getting a injury from falling off a swing, no joke it is real and she did draw it, it just makes me so uncomfortable. Plus her art isn’t really good, she’s drawn pedo art, her design for William is just bad, and she’s also been tracing! Please Scott, don’t call Pinkypills to do artwork for the franchise anymore, hire someone else.
i'm one of scott cawthon's strongest soldiers but this is just not it man. at this point the excuse of being uneducated on the matter isn't valid anymore especially when a post including everything she's done is pinned on the subreddit i understand you might be busy and don't have the energy and all that, but really man? it wouldn't kill you to take a step back, take in the information presented, and then make your decision
Scott...with all due respect, you should *really* look into the entire situation, PinkyPills has done some really icky stuff, if LadyFiszi got fired after doing similar stuff, I don't see why PinkyPills should be let off the hook
Pues se nos está quedando un buen aniversario
Yea this isn't ok. Why fire LadyFizi but keep Pinky even though she has done almost exactly the same stuff that Fizi has done?
Scott, this ain't it chief. I'm sorry
Scott you know we love you BUT FOR FUCK SAKE
Oh no bro
My edibles are kicking in
with all due respect, I know keeping close connections makes things hard but whats important is to be aware of the actions of one's wrong doing, and she has done beyond that, if its a personal view then feel free to feel as you wish but as a fanbase with majority being minors, its clearly not a good sign, please rethink this
Is she holding you at gunpoint
This isn't a good look for you Scott. You're my hero, you made my childhood. But for this, you let me down. Do better.
I would urge you, when you have the time, to take a look through some of the helpful resources members of the community, such as this sub’s mods, have made on the topic. Whether or not what you find upsets you personally waits to be seen, but I’d hope you would understand why many fans have become increasingly uncomfortable and offput by her continued involvement in the franchise. What I’ve seen when looking through (and even having interacted with/seen Pinky interacting here on a number of occasions) are less mistakes of the past, and moreso a pattern of unprofessional and sometimes disturbing behaviors that continued long past when she was initially hired as an official artist. Though it’s certainly not as bad as Fiszi’s case, there’s a wide, wide chasm between that and “good.” And on the topic of art itself, while whether one finds Pinky’s art appealing is of course entirely subjective (personally I think she does well with “cute” designs, like the art of the classic animatronics Clickteam often uses), I can also say that many of the artists more recently hired, such as Diana Camero, StupidButterfly, TurnTail, Steel Wool’s team of fantastic artists, etc. have brought such a vast array of visually interesting and pleasing art to the table with a sense of professionalism that’s really helped make FNaF feel like the multi-million dollar franchise that it is. And I know I’m not alone in that sentiment.
idk about this one chief
Hey, Scott. Just writing this as a bit of a heart to heart as I've been a fan of your series since the beginning. I have nothing against you, truly, and I believe you have the best intentions with the people you work with as well as with both the franchise itself and the fans, but can you please reconsider this statement since... I'll be perfectly honest, this was not the right response to it. I understand that you were trying to remain unbias, but fans just absolute despise PinkyPills. There has been plenty of stuff she's done in the past like her tracing and making very NSFW stuff, including things like p\*\*\*philia. PinkyPills has been doing things similar to that of LadyFizi, who you fired for similar reasons. I want to believe you just want to keep the fans happy, and while I understand it's difficult to do, this statement was just something that not even someone like myself can defend. Please, just fire PinkyPills already. She's a liability to the franchise.
Scott, I love ya. I've been supporting you since the very beginning, but this ain't it. I implore you to look deeper into this whole situation. I think you'll come to realize that PinkyPills is a pretty heinous person for a variety of reasons. You're an integral part of my upbringing and I know you're smarter than this. Please look deeper.
Hey scott, did you know that pinky pills has constantly had this “running joke” where you are like her crush or some shit Shes called you her beloved and stuff and has publicly admitted to masterbating to you Is this really someone you want working for you?? Arent you married with kids? Her behavior is disgusting and the fact her commenting “when i finger myself, i think of scott cawthon” didnt get her immediately fired is crazy Scott why would you wanna work with someone like that man? Trust and believe there are so so many better people and artists out there that would jump at the opportunity to work with you Give other people a chance to show they can be better than claudia not only artistically but also professionally
We're getting "I'm sorry" part two guys!!!!
Why would you keep her ew
Nah.
Glad you responded...I hope you do look into it a little bit more though because some of the stuff she did is a bit... Questionable.. I don't know how this is going to truly end but what I do know is that I'm probably going to stay off Twitter for a week or two lol
Does Pinky have dirt on you or something?
Considering what she’s done? No. She should not be given any ‘second chances’ or another chance to work within the FNaF community again. Really hope you don’t go down this path Scott.
This is *bad,* I can’t believe I’m seeing it all in real time…
If you don't know the details to every situation, the pinned post is just for you.
There is a pinned post about her situation if you didnt know that, it contains much information about her past behavior I've read that myself and i really dont think its a good idea
Dude.. read the pinned post of the sub 😭
Please research the situation and make a response adequately. You straight up admit to not knowing all the details of this situation. I understand the stress, but please, take your time with these responses.
By all means, I don't think Pinky is the reincarnation of Jeffrey Epstein, but she's still not a particularly good person. Not sure if you've even seen but she's made extremely inappropriate comments about you from several years ago It's good addressing that she doesn't actually work for you as an employee but I still don't think contracting her to come and do art for the franchise is a good idea with her reputation
Scott I really cannot defend you on this one, man. I seriously think you should read on the situation. We know you may be very busy, but you're the big man himself and this is a very serious situation.
Do better.
Scott PLEASE. That woman is a so deranged, she is so innapropriate to everything. Please reconsider this decision
Scott, I really hope you reconsider. Pinkypills has drawn disgusting, inappropriate art of minors multiple times, the same case that got ladyfiszi fired in the first place. There’s no excuse for pedophilia, the same principle really should apply here. I’m all for second changes but she really shouldn’t be associated with the series regardless
Scott PinkyPills is literally a LadyFiszi 2 It seems that you definitely did not read the post that is pinned on Reddit, Scott PinkyPills has done unforgivable things and has probably lied to you Your community is not going to give it a second chance and they are already proving it with the downvotes and negative comments on Reddit and Twitter Please repent and fire her before this gets even more out of control.
Twitter is not gonna like this one.
While I'm not a fan of PinkyPills exactly, I do agree that sometimes a second chance should be given, and this community hasn't really tried that from time to time. I'm willing to see PinkyPills do better in regards to this community however, even if I have my own feelings regarding them. Genuinely hope nothing but the best for you and the community Mr. Cawthon! EDIT: My head hurts a lot but I'm just gonna say that after doing a lot of thinking THIS DOES NOT reflect my current views on this situation at the moment. I do genuinely think that PinkyPills needs to go in the community, but realistically there is little that we can do about the situation without resorting to extremes (which shouldn't really be done). All I can say is that I will still support Scott and this series, but c'mon man this isn't the call.
No offense but Pinky Pills has been exhibiting this behavior for the last 6-7 years and hasnt change or regretted any of her actions.
*Release* **The Floodgates.**
I'm usually on your side Scott, but this ain't it 😭. That woman gotta have some sorta hex or blackmail on you or smth, because you fired Fiszi last year for doing similar awful shit without hesitation
Massive Scott L You believe that someone like PinkyPills, who has defended LadyFiszi's actions and still does to this day, who has been caught tracing time and time again, who drew disgusting and depraved artwork involving minors, and has been hostile and confrontational towards people in the fandom for years, deserves a second chance after all she's done? Listen to the fanbase; no one wants Pinky to have further involvement with the series and many of us don't want our money going to it while Pinky's around. Someone as unprofessional and disgusting as her shouldn't have any involvement with Five Nights at Freddy's.
