Five Nights at Freddy's fandom

[Conrix]

They're a bunch of autists who overanalyze a point and click game jumpscare simulator made in ClickTeam Fusion with 2001-esque CGI graphics. They also think the storyline is "deep" when Scott was really to lazy/greedy to make a clear story so it's confusing as fuck and the fanbase is polarized over the year that FNAF4 takes place.

I don't have any specific examples of fandom congregation but they're fucking everywhere anyway. Anyway I'm linking an ED page for more info on this rapidly growing disease.

Anyone who makes four games in a single year probably doesn't give a shit about quality. Though he does hate all of the porn people make of it because he's a Fundie.

This thread was a long time coming. I feel like the FNAF fandom is a breed between the bronies, the furries and the creepypasters. A most foul concoction for a fairly boring series of games.

Gonna add that it mixes with the Sonic fandom as well. It's also brought back ms paint and windows movie maker "animations".

I also can't get over people drawing killer animatronics as girly anime characters.

The porn is one of the things that makes the fandom autistic deviants aside from headcanons and such. Really, how can anyone aside from the fans find a killer robo-fursuit sexy? That said, the dev made things that had were more complex than looking at security cameras for evil robo-furs. Unfortunately, he is only going to be known for making a series of games about evil Chuckee Cheese animatronics than for a game about a robotic coffee pot or a game based on a Christian book.

Speaking of girly anime characters.

This is one of the things FNAF has brought from its fandom.

I don't know if it's been brought up in the Creepy Pasta thread but There's a dating sim

Edit: I still don't understand why people find these things attractive.

I still can't get over how Chica keeps getting oversexualized.

Like, I'm fairly certain the actual "sexy" chica in the second game exists purely to mock that trend.

To be fair to Scott, the guy who makes the games, not one of them are particularly that complex beyond the AI of the robots off-screen. The only time the animatronics are seen moving are at most second-long segments of animation for their jumpscares or, more rarely, the odd twitching they'll do on-camera (and ok the bit where Freddy and Springtrap walk past the window in the third one but they're as hard to do as jumpscares). Otherwise all the games are in content are a bunch of static pre-rendered images. Overall, all four games total probably cost less in capital than a pokemon game development these days.

Really, I find it impressive he's managed to reinvent literally the exact same game four times in a row by changing the game mechanics just enough for it to matter, while keeping a consistent "look" of the series until the 4th one where the movie tie-in is kind of obvious.

Plus, can you fault the guy for milking the shit out of the franchise? Nobody's going to care in two years, max, so might as well farm all the money he can from it.

These animatronics are supposed to be ugly. But behold...porn. Rule 34 knows no bounds.

Indeed. Rule 34 took something that was suppose to be ugly and they end up being sexualized, despite being robots that housed the corpses of children. This is one of the things. Also, here is some cringe to show about the fandom:

A FNAF convention. Just like the bronies and furries that have their own convention.

To be honest, before R34, there was a shit ton of FNAF "sexy" OCs which started the whole mess.

Story time
I've seen the whole crap unfold and regret every single minute of it. It started as click bait and cheap "jump scare" let's plays, it devolved when some kids started to defend it by saying it's not just "jump scares" but actual horror in the game. When you add the word "horror" to something, you have several people jumping the bandwagon, which includes creepypasta and goreians (people that draw or write gore fan fics). So now we have a group of kids from the cheap lets plays, a group of teens from creepypasta and goreians and of course, once it's popular it has to hit DeviantArt, that's when shit hitted the fan. Now there's fanfics up the ass, FNAF OCs (terrible ones of course) and then after all this madness, came the R34 because why not?.

TL;DR version: FNAF is a phenomenom because it attracted young dumb minds and give them enough edge (blood, killer robots, jump scares, sounds like a bad 80's B movie eh?).

The developer keeps delivering because he struck a gold mine and honestly I can't blame him for exploiting it as hard as he can.

SO, with all this in mind, where should we start this lovely thread?, bad OCs, 34, FNAF crossovers?.

i come bearing gifts of terrible art round ups.

 

[Senior Spielbergo]

I used to think this game was decent (jumpscares are an overused trope, though), but damn has the fanbase ruined it for me. And between the creepy-ass fan art, creepy-ass fan fiction, millions of theories where everything up to the amount of hair on Freddy's ass is overanalyzed, and the Smike videos, I doubt I'm alone.

 

[Le Bateleur]

I seem to remember there being lots of BLANGER over the robots also being ghosts or something. Before the first game came out I recall posts in the FNAF thread here with fully-developed headcanons about how it was all about mental illness and nothing supernatural. And then the second or third or fourth game was all "yep, serial killer ghosts".

Start with the bad OCs since that may as well be some prominent autism. No doubt there is gonna be some sperg that wants to post their FNAF OC that is the boyfriend of everyone in the game, even the player.

Yeah, the game was at best decent for some but the fanbase went full autistic with everything, from horrid fan-fiction to autistic headcanon's that no one else would care about. The only good thing about it all is the developer milking money out of the games and discussing about the autism of the fandom.

The FNAF wiki has 90s-style pointer effects, and spaghetti-filled threads like this one, wherein the FNAFags roleplay as game mechanics.

Sample quote:

Duh, duh, duh. Daah. Duhh duh duh duh duh Duh duh duh. Daah.

The menu music plays.

There's LOADS of those and to be completely honest, you simply have to go to DA and search for "FNAF" and most you get will be OC's. Just be careful, most of those crappy drawings are from kids so going full "this image is shit!, kill yourself!" is not a good approach since well... they ARE kids after all so be easy on that trigger finger.
But if you want to find teens or even "adults" of FNAF, you can try furry sites like e621 or furrafinity, those are also plagued by FNAF porn, OCs and terrible art (ranging from skilled artists doing shitty subjects, or shitty artists doing shitty subjects).

...they're kid's pizza restaurant animatronics.

I've talked with people who actually make a living with animatronics-related stuff and they're constantly annoyed at FNAF fans commenting on their videos with their memes.

All YouTube videos that somehow involve Chuck E. Cheese's has like a bajillion FNAF commenters on it. Even this video that was originally posted 8 years ago. You can't escape it.
