On his personal page, Scott Cawthon wrote:
Not long ago, Scott Cawthon faced a lot of criticism when one of his financial records was leaked, showing that he had donated to many controversial US politicians, including former president Donald Trump for many years. While Scott always affirms that he loves the LGBTQ+ community, the politicians he supports are opponents of this community. Many LGBTQ+ members have spoken out demanding that Scott apologize, some extremists even posted threatening comments on Scott Cawthon’s Twitter. Worried about his pregnant wife, Scott decided to retire early to avoid public opinion.
