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.

You know, if it was anything but Twitter, I could at least have an ounce of sympathy. I remember Tumblr getting a bunch of cheap heat over its active community of furry enthusiasts. Valve cracked down on a bunch of lewd games in their Steam Store, largely out of prudishness. Reddit's been a notorious hub for revenge porn since forever, and its still been considered draconian to blank-ban the whole site.

But pretty much everyone drew the line at CSAM. Hell, 4chan generally drew the line at CSAM. Sites that had virtually no moderation still managed to swing their tiny hammers at CSAM wherever it cropped up.

Twitter seems to have fully embraced this shit with an enthusiasm that can only be described as satanic. Just really, nakedly, unapologetically evil. Maybe Sweeny just doesn't get that, and he's reflexively defending another billionaire from the oppressive hand of Big Government Regulation. Maybe the dude's just a nounce and thinks CSAM is no big deal. Either way, someone needs to rub his nose in it until he gets the picture.

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.

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

I oppose CSAM and child abuse.

-Tim Sweeny.

HOW FUCKING HARD IS IT TO SAY THAT!

Christ on a stick! Weren't pedo's like the worse of the worse?! When did they start getting a voice in daily regular discourse!

Son of a bitch!

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

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

Check his hard drive. Is he on the lolita flight logs?

Weird how many billionaires are just openly pro paedophia.

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

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

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 🤔

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

This is a CEO who shares opinions on many things he is truly uninformed on.

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

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

Someone check this man's hard drive.

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

Found the pedo!

So apparently AI generated CSAM is political? Interesting.

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

• Tim Sweeney

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

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

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

Yet another reason not to use the Epic Games Store.

... censor all of their political opponents

... ' child pornography?

To be clear: X is the political opponent of anyone who values democracy. As such, it can be fairly said that this IS an attempt to censor my opponents' ... child pornography. I do not object to 'censoring' CSAM. Tim Sweeney thinks child porn is free speech (pcgamer - contact me for rights to this far superior headline). When X was just vile hate speech, propaganda, and misinformation, the free speech argument prevailed. This is not the same.

I knew him from way back in the good old days of ZZT and epic pinball.

Why do many of these guys end up being goddamn weirdos?

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.

anyone do a search for him on Epstein airlines?

My god, the outspoken billionaire pedophile club just keeps growing.

Just can't fucking help themselves.

... though... that... does makes sense, that you would lack self-inhibition... if you were a pedophile.

Hooray clown world!

Aaaaaand…. Boycotted.

…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?

Tim Sweeney has a shitty take? Must be a day ending in Y!

And my Epic Account is deleted.

He doesn’t care about user freedom of choice only his own interests and now his mask in falling. He is openly supporting child pornography.
