Are you still into fnaf? I can’t tell if you just don’t want to interact with the fandom or if your actually not into it anymore
It actually isn’t about not interacting with the fandom, I mean it did give me some clarity on how FNAF is a toxic game. And I don’t mean like toxic as in problematic, it’s just being obsessed with a story about a man who brutally murdered children is just not good brain energy y’know?
It was kinda like a little conversation click in my brain
“Why are some of the people here so rough, troubled and toxic”
“Well what do you expect from people who play a game about around murder, abuse, and trauma. They’re probably abused children themselves and use this as a coping mechanism while we just liked the mystery”
Scott has no clue what the fuck he is doing or writing, there is no mystery anymore.
He’s writing it as he goes along, he may have some ideas for future lore but nothing is set and probably never will be. in fact I’m convinced the only reason why the ballora mom theory ended up being canon is because he knew that’s what his fans wanted, I feel like the fans wrote his story for him in some areas and that’s fine but that writing style to me just sucks. And if Scott is just pulling everything out of his ass I see no point in trying to predict anything now.
FNAF is not a happy go lucky game and I think that’s why people liked my art so much. Because I turned these scary characters into adorable 2D Chuck E. Cheese nostalgia art, I felt like a safe space to them. So a combination of the game just being bad for your head and Scott’s way of storytelling and writing isn’t for me it just sucked all the mystery and fun out (no real hate to Scott tho)
You know what games and media are positive and good for your brain because they’re happy?
The stuff I usually enjoy like: Undertale, ACNH, MLP, Miraculous, and childhood shows and games from the 90s and 2000s. And I kind of questioned myself. I have no clue why I like five nights at Freddy’s. I mean, I do like it. It just doesn’t fit my cute kind aesthetic so I have no clue why my brain was so driven to it in the first place… Oh wait, tism. It was the tism. 🙃
People took my side in the end and turned on my abusers so it’s not about me afraid of harassment again (if that was the case I wouldn’t be into deltarune/undertale) I took the win but I lost the interest at the same time. people are well aware of how they fucked up. I have so many apology asks that I could go through right now. I just wanted to post that one from earlier because it really pissed me off the way they kinda tried to defend their actions by saying it was “2020 behavior”.
Also another major reason that outweighs the drama is there was a lot of ped0’s. I was one of the main spies and exposers in Kody’s discord server, the art I’ve seen is genuinely tragic and terrifying, I’m traumatized why what I saw, I took it upon myself to expose that and that was my final stand in the fnaf fandom. Even though that wasn’t my responsibility.
Kinda got long at the end there, sorry.
