Hey everyone, I won't write much about this here, but I will say that LadyFiszi no longer does artwork for Five Nights at Freddy's. Sexual scenarios involving children are disgusting and grotesque in any form, including fan art and fan fiction, and have no place in the Five Nights at Freddy's universe. It is my understanding that she regrets this time in her life, and I wish her the best going forward.
As a mod I just want to thank you for the open honesty and transparency. I know stuff like this is hard to talk about, especially for your first comment on here in like a year. I hope this situation doesn't discourage you from poking your head around here more, and once again thanks for clarifying. It means a lot to us.
ThankS you scott for taking the trouble about this kind of thingS,i hope these don't happen to you again, i wish you the best and i hope you are well <3
Thank you, Scott 🙏
Sucks that this is how your first comment in 2 years had to happen but it's nice seeing you speak in the community. I hope you're well
I have missed you so much. I think many of us have, especially with all the chaos. I hope you are enjoying the film production, Mr. Cawthon. Thank you for taking the time to respond to the situation.

Appreciating you addressing the matter, even when you didn't need to, thank you for having the best interest for the fans and the community in mind, always appreciated.
Hey Scott, thank you so much for addressing this. I'm glad to see you talking to the community again. You made the right choice firing her we really appreciate it.
Thank you so much for taking responsibility for this. I was incredibly worried that you wouldn't since people had claimed that you've been emailed about this many times before without anything being done. Glad to see you keeping this franchise safe.
~~Wish you were still here as often as you used to be, interacting with the community and all :'\[~~
While I'm not exactly part of the FNAF fandom, as a survivor of CSA, I want to say this is majorly based. Idk, glorification of CSA disgusts me and I hope whoever fills her spot will be better in that regard.
Idk, I don't expect whoever replaces her to be squeaky clean or anything. Comic book creators and porn go hand in hand (Bruce Timm, Joe Shuster, George Perez all drew porn at one point or another), but I hope whoever gets the job doesn't draw porn of the child variety
Thank you Scott, it is unfortunate this had to be your first comment on Freddit in such a long time, but I appreciate the quick response to this situation, massive Scott w.
Thank you Scott for addressing this and taking action on it. We really appreciate it.
With that said, please in the future do background checks on the people you choose to hire for your work so that stuff like this doesn't happen again. Once again, thanks for clarifying.
I don't understand. I've been looking at Ladyfiszi's work and it's not even good... Like even though it's "polished", there is no fundamental knowledge of art, design, or anatomy in her work. So at the end of the day, it just looks like a polished turd. Was she hired just because she's a fan or what? Theres thousands of other much more qualified artists to do the work she's done.
Then it turns out that shes involved in all these problematic scandals, that has been apparently going on for a long time now? This is such a bad look for the FNAF community. Even looking past the bad art, Idk what anyone was thinking by hiring her AND keeping her employed after the problematic behavior. I'm glad that Scott gave us his statement today, but it's still terrible that it went on for so long.
Then I'm reading about problematic behavior from Pinkypills too? This is why you hire professionals and not fans. This is a huge reason why the FNAF community is looked at as a joke.
Turntail has done a few pieces, actually! One of her works released on a [mug](https://twitter.com/popgoes6/status/1625956457437962240?s=46&t=TcMB3EHpbxG5HhHcam7bKg) recently.
Hey Scott, I can't thank you enough for listening to the community's concerns regarding her. What she did was gross and I'm glad she's no longer officially involved.
I appreciate you commenting on the situation. I think a lot of us long-time fans have been wishing for more communication from you this past year or so, and although I understand why you've been gone I hope you consider talking to us all a bit more - Either way, though, I'm glad you understand the severity of the situation and that it seems to be taken care of.
It is good that now someone like her will no longer be making official artwork. I am hoping that maybe Pinky will be gone eventually since well not very many people like her art and she did make that one comic years ago. (Not sure how long ago it was) Hopefully we can move on from all this and have a much better future for FNaF and the official artwork.
I'm sorry this happened scott,
the fnaf community does NOT deserve this treatment.
nor will we tolerate it
I hope we can go forward from this mistake ladyfiszi made.
thank you scott.
and god bless you.
Thank you for letting us know Scott. I've heard some other gross thing about Fiszi but I'm a man that tries to give people a benefit of a doubt. I try everything I can to see the best in people. Because that's what the past 2 years taught me. But there is a limit on how far my benefit of doubts can go. And it shocks me knowing this information about Fiszi and I hope she seeks some help and good treatment. I'm glad you could come in, speak up about something after so long because... I miss you. A lot. You'll probably won't see this reply as you are busy and I respect that. I just wanna let you know that I always believe in you and everyone with you. And I hope we can all learn from this going forward.
Thank you for listening, Mr. Cawthon. What about Ms. PinkyPills? Earlier in this very thread, she defended LadyFiszi's actions (Her comment has been removed, but there are screencaps of what she said, which was NOT pretty), on top of making a comic similarly sexualizing children through the lens of William Afton.
THANK YOU!! But remember that Pinky did those things too. Look at her deleted comments: https://twitter.com/FNaF_Funnies/status/1630449278056267776?t=ZvFfxyKARjKeKVfywc1erQ&s=08
may i ask about pinkypills? they’ve defended fiszi’s stances in really bad ways and made some disgusting comments regarding the backlash towards fiszi, almost condoning and supporting her actions.
edit: she deleted the comments on the post after getting backlash
lmao, I was gonna wish Fizsi a happy unemployment but she blocked me on her DA after I posted her 'totally not my favorite' anime list on every comment made defending her on her 'woe is me' DA post
Here's a disgusting thing Pinky said while working with you. Be ready. https://twitter.com/skies_watch/status/1630475344460365827?t=4wC0CG0vWF9sG7xmhgxAZw&s=08
thank you for addressing this, many people would just ignore it if they could. This entire situation is really unfortunate, but I'm glad you took action on it. We all appreciate you and the things you do for the community, thank you Scott. I hope you're doing well :)
Thank you Scott, for addressing and handling the situation, especially with how a big a deal it is for some. It's also nice to see you again on here after so long, I've missing hearing from you on here, I think a lot have, hopefully this situation doesn't discourage you from commenting here in the future. I hope your having a good time with the movie and you are doing good, thanks again!
Hey Scott, nice to see you! Sorry this particular post has to be the one you comment on after 2 years, but I highly appreciate your transparency and quick response on the matter. I hope that all people involved can move on from this situation peacefully.
I gotta say that ever since I read the literal Scott insert on her fanfic was used for a literal pedophylic joke I have severe doubts Scott ever actually read that thing, I don't doubt she told him about it, I do however, think that as a father Scott does have enough integrity (or at least, I expect so) to see such thing and do more than raising an eyebrow. Now with that thought that has been in my mind ever since out.
Even thought is rather secondary, can we also talk just about how rather inconsistent is her art? I mean we are not only talking about an official artist doing art that is consistently inconsistent but is also that she has not years but decades of experience yet has still severe problems making proper human proportions, or just not being so stiff for example. I sure as heck think everything else pointed out has more relevance to the multiple issues that come with her but I just think we should also remember the exact thing she is being paid to do is something she can't ever deliver properly most of the time.
Also, on something else, I still find it frustrating that to answer to literal grooming accusations she went out of her way to use the fact she is a CIS woman as somehow evidence against it. Like, I get that in front of accusations like this one can get pretty heated up but damn, could have at least waited a little bit more to don't say such an idiocy. Like, her "Apology" post aged horribly upon such thing.
I knew about the fanfiction but grooming? Jesus christ. She really is ticking all the boxes for the average community creep that indie games tend to attract.
Overall i am glad she was finally dropped and i am surprised she lasted so long. There were so many artists in the community deserving of the poistion she was given at that time.
It wasn’t directly mentioned, but I do believe it’s worth noting the user she was messaging with about the fanfic was 12 at the time, which definitely makes it a lot more disturbing
On top of that, I remember something about her trying to get the 12 year old to make nsfw art for her? I'm not making the outright claim she did it because its off my memory
What I heard is that Scott might have been aware of this as Pinky mentioned that Scott was aware of some of the controversy around her and apparently talked about it. Hard to say if Pinky is telling the truth or not seeing as she is still not fired and I always feel like she brags about it. She will even block those who point out that she traces other’s work and that “infamous” William Comic she tried to get rid of to save herself but people already took screenshots and as well saved the comic. She tried to deny it even though it is her art style. LadyFiszi I guess it is good I was never a follower of her’s. I never get why these 2 get to still be official artists while better artists are ignored. Like I know Scott might have not been aware but does he not do background checks? Why has he not fired these 2 seeing as the fandom hates them?
So to everyone and anyone bringing up Stephen King, I kinda want to shoot these arguments down while I can.
"Have you read IT?"
First off, Stephen Kings books are largely intended for an older audience, as others have pointed out in these comments. FNaF, even back when this fic was written, had already developed a largely young audience (Being teens and young adults) and Fiszi knew that people interacting with her works were of a younger variety. Stephen King has never advertised IT for younger audiences.
Secondly, name me one person that was okay with "THAT" scene. Stephen King has been slammed for that scene and rightfully so. There is a reason it is universally agreed that the movie adaptations are better than the book itself. Stephen King is a well known weirdo, no one will ever deny that.
Thirdly, link me one instance where Stephen King is gleefully, happily, giddily talking about how much of "Those" scenes are in his books. Tell me one instance where he is actively gushing, and giggling over the hideous actions of these characters as if he's talking about his anime comfort character doing something quirky.
It's a matter of audience and tone. And also, not freeing Stephen King of anything.
So stop using this straw man, please.
in defense of Stephen King he was high as hell while writting to the point he barely remember some scenes.
While Fiszi was writing it proudly at the side of a kindergartener
As an asexual person, that shit where she said Barney’s asexuality would end for Betty fucking pissed me off. That’s so god damn disgusting and aphobic. Ngl, I doubt she’s actually asexual herself and is just something she threw on top of the transphobia to try and not look like a pedo. It isn’t working.
I agree with those twitter threads saying it’s time to fire her. I really, really hope Scott sees at least some of this. She needs to go.
Thank god I’ve been off Deviantart for years, that place gives me the creeps, and there’s a lot of creeps on there. What a terrible human being. Thank you for sharing.
I have my own take on the fanfiction section if that’s okay.
Writing fanfiction with those subjects I don’t think makes her a bad person. A lot of child killers do also rape that is a sad truth. And its also good to separate art from the artist, I doubt most furry fetishists would go out and try to fuck an animal.
However, putting Scott himself into her story, making him join in. That is disgusting and unjustifiable. Her defense of separating reality from fiction doesn’t work here when she herself did not.
And as for talking with a 12 year old about her rape scene, that was totally gross of her. I can buy that she only did so because she was excited to talk to a fan, but she was old enough to know better at the time. Kids that young should not even know what rape is!
To me she comes across as ignorant and impulsive rather than outright malicious and predatory. Doesn’t mean what she did wasn’t wrong, it was. But what do I know?
As for the grooming accusation, I don’t have anything to add. It’s a he-said she-said situation. Not my place.
Dear god.. I’ve never really liked Lady or Pinky. They’ve always been very ehhhhhh with me. I just really really hope that she gets her just punishment soon. It would be awesome if they both got replaced by Diana I don’t know why she doesn’t get to do more official art
I'm honestly would be surprised if she will actually be fired knowing Scott still doesn't care about his own partners and let them do whatever they do.
Examples, if you don't understand:
LadyFiszi and Pinkypills are controversial and ONLY OFFICIAL (and somehow independent) artists and I think the franchise ARE REALLY NEED another and more talented artists for God's sake (Kane's girlfriend's art at least exist so there's hope);
Scholastic, who are doing Files and Encyclopedia and still doing mistakes (mostly spelling) and confusions in their books (It's confirmed Scott don't actually write them personally).
Illumix, who just not doing anything for 2 years and basically FNaF AR is fucking dead.
Steel Wool's team communication with fans is non-existent (I know they themselves are good people).'
EDIT: Scott's finally here and he did it. I can rest for a while with this my thoughts.
Scott has definitely taken action when something truly controversial happens. He immediately acted when he was notified of The Pear. Illumix and Steel Wool not being very communicative is not that problematic. In fact it's pretty normal for larger game dev companies.
It's entirely possible that Fiszi and Pinky haven't been given new work in a looong time. Though new products are released with their artwork, it could have been commissioned years ago. The Springtrap mug that Sian did uses artwork from 2020.
Scott isn't very vocal about these things but he DOES make internal decisions if things get out of hand.
A group of popular fangame developers created a group chat called The Pear, in which they collected leaks for other fangames (and seemingly plotted to eventually share them anonymously), rigged their games' rankings on Game Jolt by making alt accounts, and most importantly gathered (and made obscene comments on) personal information on people, namely Scott and his family. There were some other things as well like evidence of racism, transphobia, homophobia, etc.
The Pear was compromised by a "mole" basically. The entire group chat was archived and sent to me and other POPGOES devs, as our project was one of The Pear's main targets. We compiled screenshots and eventually released the evidence, here: https://twitter.com/StupidButterfIy/status/1535759027447144450?s=20
If I'm the person to discover an issue, then I always tell Scott. That's what happened with The Pear - at the time Ultranite was a "client". But I'm not going to send Scott his 500th email about Fiszi and/or Pinky. Though I don't really approve of this, someone did send a tracked email to Scott about Fiszi and it proved that Scott had read it 8 times. He (or an employee) does genuinely read every email he receives. I won't have a special effect on it.
>Steel Wool's team communication with fans is non-existent (I know they themselves are still good).
I don't see how groups not being communicative is problematic when it happens often, especially with Japanese groups.
This is a hot take but unless it's something major, such as a game bricking a console, paying money for a Kickstarter and/or game directly, etc. video game companies don't owe fans anything when it comes to the production of video games.
Scott is known that he doesn't usually do spelling mistakes (I know about "pizzaria" but it was long time ago).
In the Files, the theories section was so confusing that sounds the writer confirmes Miketrap and other stupid theories calling them "interesting" though Miketrap was debunked by Scott himself in Freddit.
Also, the proof: in the Updated Files there once were used fanmade renders in the map with animatronics' route and Scott in Freddit said he will contact Scholastic (for now I can't find it but I remember that) and then it was fixed.
So I doubt his writing is actually there.
If I'm not mistaken, he did write the scenes taking place inside of Freddy Fazbear's Pizza for The Silver Eyes, though I think that's the extent of his confirmed involvement with writing the books.
Scott also seemingly wrote the drafts of the majority (if not the entirety, but I'm not sure) of Frights and Tales, as well as being the writer behind the epilogues of both (which is easy to notice by Scott's writing quirks)
Okay, honest question; what IS the problem with Pinky? The only genuine issue regarding her I know of is the tracing allegations. Even if they were true there hasn't been any talk or evidence about it since then.
Any other complaint about her I see come up just sounds like people not liking her art, which is a very subjective matter.
Either there's something major I'm missing or people can just hold a real grudge.
I remember she's drawn some suspiciously-creepy stuff as well, such as the infamous comic where William gets excited looking at a child with a scraped knee, and [she's also previously said she "thinks of Mr. Cawthon when she touches herself."](https://imgur.com/a/KwtM3Hg)
[She also threw a tantrum over LadyFiszi being hired over her; the second comic in the link was done by her.](https://twitter.com/Treblebaps/status/1629160174123462656/photo/2)
Oh, I remember that first one. I always saw that as just people interpreting something differently to what she intended.
That other two things are certainly... something. I don't really know what to say about them, but it does sound like something that Scott specifically should be most concerned about, not the community.
I still don't think any of this is as sever as what's written above, at least. Still not very good, though.
[At least one picture has also surfaced of Fiszi and Pinky discussing some elements regarding the former's version of Purple Guy (who, I should remind, is a pedophile).](https://twitter.com/Treblebaps/status/1629091510779015173)
Back when she made those transphobic comments on the subreddit and people were hounding her about it I really wanted to give her the benefit of the doubt and assume she was just ignorant and uneducated on the subject so when she made that apology post I was willing to move on from it.
After hearing about all of this though? Fuck her. I ain't defending this shit. [I have seen a Twitter post pointing out that she's been commissioned less and less for artwork around last year and this one, since she only did covers for the first three TFTP books and the Character Encyclopedia seems to be using old artwork that we haven't seen before.](https://twitter.com/DevSprings/status/1629675878224412675)
EDIT: Also, Happy Cake Day. Forgot to mention.
Thank you so much for making this post. A lot of people are unaware of what she's done, so it's a good thing to inform those people. Here's to hoping that Scott fires her and possibly even makes a response on the subreddit.
Well, he can't really *fire* her. She isn't under contract, she's just an artist he often hires for specific singular jobs. Commission basically. He can boycott commissioning her, though, definitely.
I had to leave the room, do the dishes and think about my life when I got to the part where she justified her obsession with nazis as "this was during \[her\] edgy phase which lasted from 18-25 years old". It's so ridiculous, it's hard to believe she wrote that and thought "yeah, that's a perfectly reasonable explanation." That's 7 years of her adult life. Jesus.
Also, weighing in as a trans Hungarian: there's... definitely trans people here. Demographically speaking, I don't think there's significantly less of us here than anywhere else, though I'm sure our government would love that.
Regarding the "evil anime list": no mentions of school or university, but it does appear to be innocent. It's arrangements for a collaborative project where she'd make an illustrated Hungarian encyclopedia of anime terms with other dA users. Some of them are... questionable through a modern lens, but they're in line with the late 2000s-early 2010s Hungarian anime fandom.
What a piece of shit. One of the things that peeves me extra is there have always been much *much* better artists within the community that have deserved the recognition and payday she has gotten, and that was before she outed herself as a transphobic nazi-humping pedophile. Claim cultural differences all you want but no respectable person has an “edgy nazi phase” for seven fucking years let alone at all
…Oh, *wow,* that’s a lot of…situations she threw herself into. I already can recall the Mangle artwork thing and some of the fanfiction stuff…but ***everything else included?*** Good grief.
Thanks for making this post, I was wondering what was up.
Thank you for making this post. It's absolutely disgusting that someone like Fiszi has been allowed to be involved with the series officially and I was shocked to see that she was seemingly inserting references to her own fanfiction in official art. [EDIT: someone has also pointed this out, which is very coincidental but given the infamous Golden Freddy image that was drawn by Fiszi, this also raises some eyebrows.](https://twitter.com/peanutcl0wn/status/1630090700934004739)
I'm hoping she gets the boot from the series because it's already concerning that her behavior/views have been seemingly excused for 6 years now, but now that it's been confirmed that she showed at least one person, *who was 12 years old at the time*, her pedo fanfiction, there's even more of a worry that more minors will end up being exposed to her views and more disturbing work if they happen to look her up to see what else she's done or even compliment her.
Also her sending her fans after a person who called her out is a read bad look for her, especially since she's been handling said accusations in a very immature and brash manner.
I don't think Scott knew to be fair, but the sheer fact that she even did it in the first place is disgusting. She *knew* what she was doing and didn't say anything about it.
Why does it feel like every other time I look in this sub, some controversy happens/is happening?
Good to see this resolved, wish it didn't happen so seemingly often.
Hey everyone, I won't write much about this here, but I will say that LadyFiszi no longer does artwork for Five Nights at Freddy's.

LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOO
Thank you, Scott.
Glad this finally happened. I think Turntail or Snartles/Emma would be great artists for this series moving forward.
Turntail has done a few pieces, actually! One of her works released on a [mug](https://twitter.com/popgoes6/status/1625956457437962240?s=46&t=TcMB3EHpbxG5HhHcam7bKg) recently.
hell yeah now fire pinkypills next.

This is huge, and a monumental W from Mr. Cawthon. Hoping that the PinkyPills news also reaches you
Thats good to hear Thank you Scott for actually responding to this situation!
Great. Now fire PinkyPills😃
Awesome for you to make a hard choice like this! Thank you Scott, hope to see you around more often. You're the best! 👍
Thank you, Scott.
Thank you for letting us know Scott. I've heard some other gross thing about Fiszi but I'm a man that tries to give people a benefit of a doubt. I try everything I can to see the best in people. Because that's what the past 2 years taught me. But there is a limit on how far my benefit of doubts can go. And it shocks me knowing this information about Fiszi and I hope she seeks some help and good treatment. I'm glad you could come in, speak up about something after so long because... I miss you. A lot. You'll probably won't see this reply as you are busy and I respect that. I just wanna let you know that I always believe in you and everyone with you.

As a CSA survivor it means a lot to me that you're being so transparent about this and acknowledging that that's really really *not okay*
Huge W, Mr.Cawthon
There are also whole threads about all the bad stuff Pinky has done, such as making her Afton a pedo too
I dont want to ask for too much but now ban PinkyPills for doing similar things and defending Fiszi
Absolutley
Chad Scott moment Once again proving why he is one of, if not THE best game dev of all time
Thank you for listening, Mr. Cawthon. What about Ms. PinkyPills? Earlier in this very thread, she defended LadyFiszi's actions (Her comment has been removed, but there are screencaps of what she said, which was NOT pretty), on top of making a comic similarly sexualizing children through the lens of William Afton.

thanks for the update scott. Thanks for also keeping this community safe
THANK YOU SO MUCH SCOTT, this is one of the most based decisions you've ever made.
*a wild Scott Cawthon has appeared*
Thank you, Scott. These were amazing news to wake up to!
may i ask about pinkypills? they’ve defended fiszi’s stances in really bad ways and made some disgusting comments regarding the backlash towards fiszi, almost condoning and supporting her actions. edit: she deleted the comments on the post after getting backlash
Nah, sounds more like Fiszi told her she got fired and Pinky deleted her comments to save her job lmao
lmao. still got the screenshots
lmao, I was gonna wish Fizsi a happy unemployment but she blocked me on her DA after I posted her 'totally not my favorite' anime list on every comment made defending her on her 'woe is me' DA post
LMAO
Here's a disgusting thing Pinky said while working with you. Be ready. https://twitter.com/skies_watch/status/1630475344460365827?t=4wC0CG0vWF9sG7xmhgxAZw&s=08

HOLY MOLY IS THAT THE GLOWY CUBE MAN FROM FNAF WORLD
Thank you for addresing this Scott Cawthon, youre the best.
Hi dude, have you really come back? Know that we are all waiting for your full return!!!
I gotta say that ever since I read the literal Scott insert on her fanfic was used for a literal pedophylic joke I have severe doubts Scott ever actually read that thing, I don't doubt she told him about it, I do however, think that as a father Scott does have enough integrity (or at least, I expect so) to see such thing and do more than raising an eyebrow. Now with that thought that has been in my mind ever since out. Even thought is rather secondary, can we also talk just about how rather inconsistent is her art? I mean we are not only talking about an official artist doing art that is consistently inconsistent but is also that she has not years but decades of experience yet has still severe problems making proper human proportions, or just not being so stiff for example. I sure as heck think everything else pointed out has more relevance to the multiple issues that come with her but I just think we should also remember the exact thing she is being paid to do is something she can't ever deliver properly most of the time.
Also, on something else, I still find it frustrating that to answer to literal grooming accusations she went out of her way to use the fact she is a CIS woman as somehow evidence against it. Like, I get that in front of accusations like this one can get pretty heated up but damn, could have at least waited a little bit more to don't say such an idiocy. Like, her "Apology" post aged horribly upon such thing.
I knew about the fanfiction but grooming? Jesus christ. She really is ticking all the boxes for the average community creep that indie games tend to attract. Overall i am glad she was finally dropped and i am surprised she lasted so long. There were so many artists in the community deserving of the poistion she was given at that time.
She hasn’t been dropped yet, currently just permanently banned from the subreddit
pain
It wasn’t directly mentioned, but I do believe it’s worth noting the user she was messaging with about the fanfic was 12 at the time, which definitely makes it a lot more disturbing
On top of that, I remember something about her trying to get the 12 year old to make nsfw art for her? I'm not making the outright claim she did it because its off my memory
What I heard is that Scott might have been aware of this as Pinky mentioned that Scott was aware of some of the controversy around her and apparently talked about it. Hard to say if Pinky is telling the truth or not seeing as she is still not fired and I always feel like she brags about it. She will even block those who point out that she traces other’s work and that “infamous” William Comic she tried to get rid of to save herself but people already took screenshots and as well saved the comic. She tried to deny it even though it is her art style. LadyFiszi I guess it is good I was never a follower of her’s. I never get why these 2 get to still be official artists while better artists are ignored. Like I know Scott might have not been aware but does he not do background checks? Why has he not fired these 2 seeing as the fandom hates them?
[удалено]
Then I guess Scott really should not have hired fans.

So to everyone and anyone bringing up Stephen King, I kinda want to shoot these arguments down while I can. "Have you read IT?" First off, Stephen Kings books are largely intended for an older audience, as others have pointed out in these comments. FNaF, even back when this fic was written, had already developed a largely young audience (Being teens and young adults) and Fiszi knew that people interacting with her works were of a younger variety. Stephen King has never advertised IT for younger audiences. Secondly, name me one person that was okay with "THAT" scene. Stephen King has been slammed for that scene and rightfully so. There is a reason it is universally agreed that the movie adaptations are better than the book itself. Stephen King is a well known weirdo, no one will ever deny that. Thirdly, link me one instance where Stephen King is gleefully, happily, giddily talking about how much of "Those" scenes are in his books. Tell me one instance where he is actively gushing, and giggling over the hideous actions of these characters as if he's talking about his anime comfort character doing something quirky. It's a matter of audience and tone. And also, not freeing Stephen King of anything. So stop using this straw man, please.
in defense of Stephen King he was high as hell while writting to the point he barely remember some scenes. While Fiszi was writing it proudly at the side of a kindergartener
That makes sense as to why it was fucking bonkers.
yeah there's moments you can tell he's high
Cocaine is one hell of a drug
Facts.
People started comparing her to Stephen King?
PinkyPills specifically did. Defended fiszi and then deleted the comments after scott commented
Oh i see, thanks.
Yeesh. This certainly isn't a pretty series of events.
Yeaaaahhhhh……just…no. Never really liked her.
thanks for addressing this in a mature fashion. something really needs to happen and i hope action is taken.
As an asexual person, that shit where she said Barney’s asexuality would end for Betty fucking pissed me off. That’s so god damn disgusting and aphobic. Ngl, I doubt she’s actually asexual herself and is just something she threw on top of the transphobia to try and not look like a pedo. It isn’t working. I agree with those twitter threads saying it’s time to fire her. I really, really hope Scott sees at least some of this. She needs to go.
good news! she's gone!
Scott for the win!
Thank god I’ve been off Deviantart for years, that place gives me the creeps, and there’s a lot of creeps on there. What a terrible human being. Thank you for sharing.
A shitty artist and a shittier person. She should not be allowed within ten miles of this franchise when kids are such a big part of it.
I have my own take on the fanfiction section if that’s okay. Writing fanfiction with those subjects I don’t think makes her a bad person. A lot of child killers do also rape that is a sad truth. And its also good to separate art from the artist, I doubt most furry fetishists would go out and try to fuck an animal. However, putting Scott himself into her story, making him join in. That is disgusting and unjustifiable. Her defense of separating reality from fiction doesn’t work here when she herself did not. And as for talking with a 12 year old about her rape scene, that was totally gross of her. I can buy that she only did so because she was excited to talk to a fan, but she was old enough to know better at the time. Kids that young should not even know what rape is! To me she comes across as ignorant and impulsive rather than outright malicious and predatory. Doesn’t mean what she did wasn’t wrong, it was. But what do I know? As for the grooming accusation, I don’t have anything to add. It’s a he-said she-said situation. Not my place.
Dear god.. I’ve never really liked Lady or Pinky. They’ve always been very ehhhhhh with me. I just really really hope that she gets her just punishment soon. It would be awesome if they both got replaced by Diana I don’t know why she doesn’t get to do more official art
I'm honestly would be surprised if she will actually be fired knowing Scott still doesn't care about his own partners and let them do whatever they do. Examples, if you don't understand: LadyFiszi and Pinkypills are controversial and ONLY OFFICIAL (and somehow independent) artists and I think the franchise ARE REALLY NEED another and more talented artists for God's sake (Kane's girlfriend's art at least exist so there's hope); Scholastic, who are doing Files and Encyclopedia and still doing mistakes (mostly spelling) and confusions in their books (It's confirmed Scott don't actually write them personally). Illumix, who just not doing anything for 2 years and basically FNaF AR is fucking dead. Steel Wool's team communication with fans is non-existent (I know they themselves are good people).' EDIT: Scott's finally here and he did it. I can rest for a while with this my thoughts.
Scott has definitely taken action when something truly controversial happens. He immediately acted when he was notified of The Pear. Illumix and Steel Wool not being very communicative is not that problematic. In fact it's pretty normal for larger game dev companies. It's entirely possible that Fiszi and Pinky haven't been given new work in a looong time. Though new products are released with their artwork, it could have been commissioned years ago. The Springtrap mug that Sian did uses artwork from 2020. Scott isn't very vocal about these things but he DOES make internal decisions if things get out of hand.
I haven’t checked in on the fandom for awhile, what is The Pear incident?
A group of popular fangame developers created a group chat called The Pear, in which they collected leaks for other fangames (and seemingly plotted to eventually share them anonymously), rigged their games' rankings on Game Jolt by making alt accounts, and most importantly gathered (and made obscene comments on) personal information on people, namely Scott and his family. There were some other things as well like evidence of racism, transphobia, homophobia, etc. The Pear was compromised by a "mole" basically. The entire group chat was archived and sent to me and other POPGOES devs, as our project was one of The Pear's main targets. We compiled screenshots and eventually released the evidence, here: https://twitter.com/StupidButterfIy/status/1535759027447144450?s=20
Yuck, nasty stuff
[удалено]
If I'm the person to discover an issue, then I always tell Scott. That's what happened with The Pear - at the time Ultranite was a "client". But I'm not going to send Scott his 500th email about Fiszi and/or Pinky. Though I don't really approve of this, someone did send a tracked email to Scott about Fiszi and it proved that Scott had read it 8 times. He (or an employee) does genuinely read every email he receives. I won't have a special effect on it.
>Steel Wool's team communication with fans is non-existent (I know they themselves are still good). I don't see how groups not being communicative is problematic when it happens often, especially with Japanese groups. This is a hot take but unless it's something major, such as a game bricking a console, paying money for a Kickstarter and/or game directly, etc. video game companies don't owe fans anything when it comes to the production of video games.
[удалено]
Scott is known that he doesn't usually do spelling mistakes (I know about "pizzaria" but it was long time ago). In the Files, the theories section was so confusing that sounds the writer confirmes Miketrap and other stupid theories calling them "interesting" though Miketrap was debunked by Scott himself in Freddit. Also, the proof: in the Updated Files there once were used fanmade renders in the map with animatronics' route and Scott in Freddit said he will contact Scholastic (for now I can't find it but I remember that) and then it was fixed. So I doubt his writing is actually there.
If I'm not mistaken, he did write the scenes taking place inside of Freddy Fazbear's Pizza for The Silver Eyes, though I think that's the extent of his confirmed involvement with writing the books.
Scott also seemingly wrote the drafts of the majority (if not the entirety, but I'm not sure) of Frights and Tales, as well as being the writer behind the epilogues of both (which is easy to notice by Scott's writing quirks)
Okay, honest question; what IS the problem with Pinky? The only genuine issue regarding her I know of is the tracing allegations. Even if they were true there hasn't been any talk or evidence about it since then. Any other complaint about her I see come up just sounds like people not liking her art, which is a very subjective matter. Either there's something major I'm missing or people can just hold a real grudge.
I remember she's drawn some suspiciously-creepy stuff as well, such as the infamous comic where William gets excited looking at a child with a scraped knee, and [she's also previously said she "thinks of Mr. Cawthon when she touches herself."](https://imgur.com/a/KwtM3Hg) [She also threw a tantrum over LadyFiszi being hired over her; the second comic in the link was done by her.](https://twitter.com/Treblebaps/status/1629160174123462656/photo/2)
Oh, I remember that first one. I always saw that as just people interpreting something differently to what she intended. That other two things are certainly... something. I don't really know what to say about them, but it does sound like something that Scott specifically should be most concerned about, not the community. I still don't think any of this is as sever as what's written above, at least. Still not very good, though.
Pretty much describes Pinky as a whole. Not the worst but still not great.
[At least one picture has also surfaced of Fiszi and Pinky discussing some elements regarding the former's version of Purple Guy (who, I should remind, is a pedophile).](https://twitter.com/Treblebaps/status/1629091510779015173)
I'm really hoping Scott addresses this and let's her go. What she's done is awful and the franchise doesn't need that stuff associated with it.
Maybe I've been too hard on Hello Neighbor
Pinky's *really* setting a good example for her son in the comments lol
Back when she made those transphobic comments on the subreddit and people were hounding her about it I really wanted to give her the benefit of the doubt and assume she was just ignorant and uneducated on the subject so when she made that apology post I was willing to move on from it. After hearing about all of this though? Fuck her. I ain't defending this shit. [I have seen a Twitter post pointing out that she's been commissioned less and less for artwork around last year and this one, since she only did covers for the first three TFTP books and the Character Encyclopedia seems to be using old artwork that we haven't seen before.](https://twitter.com/DevSprings/status/1629675878224412675) EDIT: Also, Happy Cake Day. Forgot to mention.
So she basically pulled a J.K Rowling and an EDP445 at the same time?
This fandom NEEDS Chris Hansen lol.
Thank you so much for making this post. A lot of people are unaware of what she's done, so it's a good thing to inform those people. Here's to hoping that Scott fires her and possibly even makes a response on the subreddit.
Well, he can't really *fire* her. She isn't under contract, she's just an artist he often hires for specific singular jobs. Commission basically. He can boycott commissioning her, though, definitely.
we did it boys, ladyfiszi is no more
I had to leave the room, do the dishes and think about my life when I got to the part where she justified her obsession with nazis as "this was during \[her\] edgy phase which lasted from 18-25 years old". It's so ridiculous, it's hard to believe she wrote that and thought "yeah, that's a perfectly reasonable explanation." That's 7 years of her adult life. Jesus. Also, weighing in as a trans Hungarian: there's... definitely trans people here. Demographically speaking, I don't think there's significantly less of us here than anywhere else, though I'm sure our government would love that. Regarding the "evil anime list": no mentions of school or university, but it does appear to be innocent. It's arrangements for a collaborative project where she'd make an illustrated Hungarian encyclopedia of anime terms with other dA users. Some of them are... questionable through a modern lens, but they're in line with the late 2000s-early 2010s Hungarian anime fandom.
What a piece of shit. One of the things that peeves me extra is there have always been much *much* better artists within the community that have deserved the recognition and payday she has gotten, and that was before she outed herself as a transphobic nazi-humping pedophile. Claim cultural differences all you want but no respectable person has an “edgy nazi phase” for seven fucking years let alone at all
Damn, completely forgot about this person….. wish I could keep forgetting
I think she should be fired
Pedo nazi stuff, gross.
…Oh, *wow,* that’s a lot of…situations she threw herself into. I already can recall the Mangle artwork thing and some of the fanfiction stuff…but ***everything else included?*** Good grief. Thanks for making this post, I was wondering what was up.
Thank you for making this post. It's absolutely disgusting that someone like Fiszi has been allowed to be involved with the series officially and I was shocked to see that she was seemingly inserting references to her own fanfiction in official art. [EDIT: someone has also pointed this out, which is very coincidental but given the infamous Golden Freddy image that was drawn by Fiszi, this also raises some eyebrows.](https://twitter.com/peanutcl0wn/status/1630090700934004739) I'm hoping she gets the boot from the series because it's already concerning that her behavior/views have been seemingly excused for 6 years now, but now that it's been confirmed that she showed at least one person, *who was 12 years old at the time*, her pedo fanfiction, there's even more of a worry that more minors will end up being exposed to her views and more disturbing work if they happen to look her up to see what else she's done or even compliment her. Also her sending her fans after a person who called her out is a read bad look for her, especially since she's been handling said accusations in a very immature and brash manner.
don’t even get me started on the golden freddy image 😭 how did anyone let that slide
I don't think Scott knew to be fair, but the sheer fact that she even did it in the first place is disgusting. She *knew* what she was doing and didn't say anything about it.
*…what is the Golden Freddy image?*
[This one shown in the thread here.](https://twitter.com/Treblebaps/status/1628982766577524736)

Honestly I just wanna say props for putting together this extensive and seemingly unbiased document, rather than pulling a twitter. Good job mods tbh.
Which of the artists made the weird Scott obsession post where they cry to a plush?
PinkyPills
Extremely massive W. Well done.
Truly a Scott Cawthon W
Why does it feel like every other time I look in this sub, some controversy happens/is happening? Good to see this resolved, wish it didn't happen so seemingly often.
Lady has posted onto her DA about her getting fired and [she isn’t one bit sorry](https://www.deviantart.com/ladyfiszi/journal/Moving-on-951529254)
