One of the worst things about the modern fandom that is that there’s no creativity/change in the story whatsoever it has to be like The games no matter what If it’s inaccurate, you’ll get a bunch of people correcting/getting mad it’s not accurate Like I remember a video for a fan universe and the MCI had different names and like 72% of the comments were correcting them This definitely started happening after 6
@@toastedperfection2488 sorry I’m late but I think what changed is that fnaf actually became a story in the games What do I mean? The original trilogy was more of a template of the story. There was a plot, but there wasn’t really any characters with names. all you have was phone guy and that was it. This allow for many to make their own interpretations of the story and how the events go down However things started to change after Sister Location where fnaf actually started to become a full-blown story with voice acting characters yada yada. Purple guy getting the name William Afton. However, that didn’t change too much it was still normal you know the original cast were still intact. Fnaf 6 eventually changed everything since it would give the MCI kids names, genders, Which basically kind of killed interpretation
@@Browhatisyoudoing Good callout. Yeah this is probably exactly what it is. Very early FNaF required you to use headcanons to fill in the blanks, so things like headcanons had to be accepted. Back then the story was lore and not an actual story. Then yeah that stopped, FNaF started getting real stories in the games. As much as they're cool, it absolutely does mean there's less space for people to do their own things with the characters without interfering with the canon. Interesting.
YES. Fan-games that take place in an AU or something definitely have a lot of people responding with "bUt ThAt'S nOt CaNoN" NONE OF IT IS. IT IS A FAN-GAME. GRAHHHHH.
Jesus Christ, FNAF 2 Golden Freddy Mode was more intense than I remembered it. And I agree, UA-cam's own nature pushes for more views, so youtubers would always prefer to make faster or even controversial videos without putting as much reflection as it could use. Due to think, fans get carried a lot in their interpretations and theories that discussions against them will get somewhat agressive, and those who only go for smaller theories or headcanons are not as pushed nearly as much as other videos. Hell, this video itself can be an example of this formula too. Still, good video, hope there's a change in the fandom for the better.
Lmao it'd be probably be easier if I wasn't honking the nose every second. And yeah I hope the fandom improves, for now I'm going to try and be the change I want to see because I know even my ass is also guilty of FNaF too seriously.
I never really thought about this from a teorists perspective- I'm somone pretty deep into the lore but I've never theprized myself, when you mentioned aus, I thought about mine where William is a good father rather than a terrible one, O havem't gotten hate probably bc I'm not popular enough yet, but I'm always scared my next video will blow up and I'll get hate for something in my au. But I can se the issue with being a theorist in this economy.
Yeah absolutely. I get nervous making videos, I struggle to get theory videos made and yeah I don't even share my AU at all. Good job at being able to push through that nervousness and make videos anyways, you're doing better than I am in that regard so far ahaha.
@toastedperfection2488 I'd like to know about your au tbh, do you have Discord so we can talk where you don't have to be public with it? I like knowing about other people's AUs.

I wonder what caused the fandom to shift like that, because yeah it definitely wasn't always like that.

Interesting.
I feel the same about FNAF fan games. You have to follow lore instead of having fun with it.
YES.

NONE OF IT IS.
IT IS A FAN-GAME.

@@Comfy_GlitchX Yeah I do, my Discord is just toastedperfection
@toastedperfection2488 thanks sending the friend request now
Do what I do and call it a what if video or what if question and belt your theory around it based on the evidence and what you wish it would be.
