Well yes. And “political oponents” are nazis.

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 16 points 3 days 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.

[–] BlameTheAntifa@lemmy.world 27 points 4 days ago

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

Tax those rich snobs

[–] DylanMc6@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 3 days ago

Eat the rich

Holy shit. I honestly can't believe people are willing to actually openly support that shit.

[–] deadbeef79000@lemmy.nz 15 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Umprompted too. It's not like he's been interrogated by, say, Nick Frost.

I have a feeling that after this is all over there's going to be some kind of McCarthyist search to out all of the pedos in business and politics.

I mean in a sense I hope there will be one in order to rid the world of the pedo cabal, but there are always false positives in such moral panics.

[–] cley_faye@lemmy.world 22 points 4 days ago

On one hand, the technology exists, sure.

On the other hand, arguing that everyone should have easy, free access to child porn is not the "good look" he think it is. I wonder why people regularly shit on him.

Is the image Grok’s representation of what a pedophile might look like?

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

[–] Atropos@lemmy.world 20 points 4 days ago

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

[–] Naevermix@lemmy.world 10 points 3 days ago (2 children)

I don't know why but these people want to normalize pedophilia.

[–] Insekticus@aussie.zone 10 points 3 days ago (1 children)

They probably want to normalize it so they can do it in public without any push back. I mean, remember when fElon was getting "Karate" lessons with ~~Jizz Lane~~ Ghislane Maxwell on behalf of Epstein; after all this grok pedo shit and his projection onto that cave diver, there's not a singular doubt in my mind he's a child rapist too just trying to move that overton window.

This fuckhead as the head of a gaming company, what a fucking joke. This loser has never had fun in his life

[–] NauticalNoodle@lemmy.ml 20 points 4 days ago

never had an epic account. never will.

[–] Regrettable_incident@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

So he's politicising child abuse material now, and associating it with the political right. He's not entirely incorrect, but it seems like he needs to think before he opens his idiot mouth.

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

[–] LodeMike@lemmy.today 22 points 4 days ago

It's astonishing how arrogant and stupid this guy is. Surely he'd notice that this is a great argument against having large centralized services, right? Does he think Twitter is the only Microblogging thing on the net?

[–] foodandart@lemmy.zip 22 points 4 days ago

Hmmm. I think I won't be reinstaling the Epic Games Store app on my gaming PC any time soon. (My old drive failed December of '23..) I'm only playing two games anyhow - Horizon Zero Dawn and No Man's Sky and both I got through GOG.

NGL, I only tried the Epic Store to get Bioshock on one of their free giveaways.. and it turned out to be a bit much.

Really not into body horror games.. Or people that make excuses for maintaining platforms that enable the creation, and distribution, of CSAM.

See ya later, Tim.

[–] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 9 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Why do people keep quoting this guy? His whole gimmick is saying asshole things to stay in the media. Just stop talking to losers like him and they go away.

Absolute L take from the undisputed king of L takes.

[–] arararagi@ani.social 11 points 3 days 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.

[–] melsaskca@lemmy.ca 12 points 4 days ago

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

[–] Leather@lemmy.world 14 points 4 days ago

Classic Epic response!

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 10 points 4 days ago

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

[–] CosmoNova@lemmy.world 13 points 4 days ago

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

...

oooooookayyyyyyyy.

billionaires, man: they not like us ._.


edit: oh wow i suddenly just realized, the fact that i never installed the epic games store and didn't accept from them even the things they were giving away FOR FREE means that i never aided or abetted this irredeemable monstrous pedophile scumbag sack of shit. I did not expect to feel vindicated today. What a pleasant surprise.
