    for those that don’t know, this isn’t real and is a play on another meme:

    and to be clear, this meme is also not true, unfortunately Scott Cawthon is a “pro-life Christian” who has a history of donating to Republicans and right-wing movements:

    https://www.houstonpress.com/arts/scott-cawthon-defends-anti-lgbt-donations-11578325/

    Scott Cawthon, the Houston-born/Austin-based creator of the hit horror game series Five Nights At Freddy’s, is a major donor to Republican politicians. Records from Open Secrets show that since 2015 he has made $42,204 in contributions, almost all of them to Republican candidates. The sole exception is former Hawaii Representative Tulsi Gabbard, a Democrat, who he gave $2,500 in 2019 during the Democratic Presidential Primary. His other beneficiaries include Devin Nunes, Kevin McCarthy, John Cornyn, Ben Carson, and Donald Trump.

    apparently he retired after this controversy:

      The canonical story indicates that she’s in the wrong for obstructing the child’s liberty. She’s a good example of a villain with misguided motivations.

        Yeah, I killed that asshole. I beat her up, then offered her mercy. She refused to stand down and let Me leave, so I killed her.

        I heard you can give her mercy by repeatedly pressing the “spare” button and dodging her attacks, but at that point, she doesn’t deserve it. Child-hitting kidnapper.

          She actually will never finish the fight against you. You don’t have to dodge her attacks at a certain point because she curves them to intentionally miss. You’re of course welcome to interpret the game however you wish.

          SMH. A woman lights a child on fire one time and you call her an abuser. /s

          (Though she’s technically not actually burning a child alive. Magic targets the soul, not the body.

          Which sounds way worse, but in-universe, soul damage is a complete nothing-burger - by which I mean it’s nothing after eating a single burger. Magic damage is trivial to heal and doesn’t actually cause harm unless you hit 0 HP, which Toriel actively avoids doing to the player during that fight.)

            Since children heal so quickly, beating them must be less unethical than beating up adults! According to that logic, anyway

              I haven’t played the game, but it really sounds like you’re taking it way too seriously. Methinks you need to chill.

              Not only is that not what they were arguing, it’s a video game, it’s not real

              Listen, Toriel is hundreds of years old and shouldn’t be judged by modern standards of morality. Back in the day, taking a child down into the basement and dropping an inferno on them was a perfectly acceptable method of instilling discipline!

              (Again, /s)

      Average soulism post?

      No, the moralized passivity is the application of lib values. It’s the same mindset that promotes that firearms as a selfdefense/deterrent against violent firearm users is bad.
