Contingency is a paragon of Analog Horror and nothing else has been able to reach that heights and never will. Everything about it was done perfectly, yet every other video by everyone else just fails to recognize what made Contingency so good, even its own creator.
I know I just shit on analog horror as a whole, but I definitely second this. Local 58 had a good vibe, understood how to not be utterly hamfisted with its story telling, and in many ways felt like it could be real or on some alternate timeline of an Earth very similar to our own.
This is being a coward tho, he just doesn't have the guts or the will to stand by his beliefs and allow for people who hate such beliefs to be filtered out and dislike him. He wants unconditional adoration. It will blow up on his face eventually
What the fuck, I thought the whole point of Gabriel not having his wings and being able to do the cheesy-ass sus face was supposed to be showing that he killed and replaced the real one?
I think Local 58 worked because it had good production values, and was simple. It wasn't pretentious crap trying to be this big epic ridiculous thing.
I think he wants to continue living off of youtube for as long as possible. If he were to say "kill all trannies gas the kikes race war now" would he lose everyone? No of course not. He would lose a significant portion of the people that pay for patreon or donate during livestreams though.
The thing with this is, though, that the only reason this is the case is because he allowed it to become the case for easier initial growth. It's not absolutely necessary to have a coomer/tranny infested community as a content creator, but if you allow them in you will grow RAPIDLY because they're very loose with their cash when it gives them an opportunity to groom. If Wendigoon ever wants to get rid of these people, he should do it as soon as possible, because their presence heavily discourages more normal people from becoming active in his community. In fact, depending on how bad it gets, they can end up forcing more people out than they bring in.
It became a circlejerking cycle pretty early on. Big horror channels would highlight series with muh deep lore because that's what they can make multi-hour essays about and the people who would gather around AH would come to expect to see that from a series. The market also became so saturated that if you wanted to stand out you'd better have that deep lore so you might get a video essayfag to make a video on it to give you some views. I've seen people talk about how to make analog horror and would put more emphasis on the imporance on the story than aesthetics or scares.
that wouldnt be a bad thing if these people knew how to write and present a story
Every single analog horror content creator has at least tweeted about it once.
Have you ever read the bible? That's like 50% of the story. He's just doing his own fanfiction version.
Yeah it was more interesting for it to be Satan pretending to be one of the angels, it also makes Gabriel stupid because wouldn't God just cast him down to Hell especially for interfering with Jesus.
The same thing happened with Nosleep, it started off as a place to share scary stories that were written like personal anecdotes/stories before gradually devolving into a dumping ground for horror fiction that just happens to all be exclusively in first-person.
This current strain of analog horror featuring LE SPOOKY VHS DISTORTED FACE all started with Fnaf VHS, an analog horror series made by someone who got exposed for being a child groomer, admitted it, and left the internet a year ago. The pipeline is Local58 > Fnaf VHS > Walten Files > Mandela Catalogue > all the gay analog horror crap we have now.
Now that I think about it, Smile Guide also didn't took itself seriously, yet it was successful in freaking people out.
I'm from Buenos Aries and I say kill em all!
