How Five Nights At Freddy's Divided Its Fanbase

The thumbnail, editing and quality of this video made me think this was made by a creator with thousands and subs, your video is awesome great quality shows that even small Creators can make great videos you deserve more subs, keep the great work

I always said that Security Breach should have been a reboot instead of continuing the lore

The fnaf movie didnt dissapoint me because of the final battle and the break in and max death was the best part ever this was a great movie in my opinion and it made me a fan of the franchise again

You either have the fnaf fans who still to this day shit on SB (despite not even playing it), people who enjoyed SB, the theorists, or the shippers

Tbh, I wish we did have more games with the original series's tones, but I gotta say, I dont mind where the games are at rn. Now, the book madness is another seperate issue, but Help wanted 1 and 2 are amazing, and while Security Breach itself was buggy/confusing, it was nice to be with the community. Also, Vanny could have been that brought that creepy tone, if she actually did some killin on camera. Imagine thinkin Vanny is Vanessa, only for Vanessa to end up dead at Vanny's hand, as a fakeout.

Fnaf over the year's has definitely change and that's okay I don't mind newer fnaf could it use more horror definitely. Sometimes I put into consideration that Scott has maybe lost his spark over the years with "Horror" that's why I think it's more targeted to goofiness and because it has a child like audience now :/. Overall there are definitely positives with newer fnaf I think it's cool in a way that the animatronics are given personalities (it gives them more character). Also fnaf may have changed for the better or worst but the games have definitely gotten better with quality also there are so many creative voice actors that are joining fnaf. But of course there are negatives like the game's being not scary anymore or not being dark and cramped. Also the personality thing I seen some people get mad at that because it "ruined" the fnaf 1 animatronics in the movie. Fan content The reason why I bring this up is because I think the VHS tape videos are a big influence on older fans who wanted the fnaf movie to be this creepy bloodbath. Furthermore we are all getting older I know it's basic to say but it's the truth we start being more critical and honest with things, not because we hate it because we care for it and want to see this franchise actually succeed more. Plus most of us are not kids anymore we are starting to like other things just like how some like old fnaf and call it the "best era" watch when the newer fans get older they will probably call this new era the "best one" too only time will tell and remember to.... Have a Faz amazing day :)

Honestly fnaf used to be amazing but lately it's just alright but back in the day anything new was a massive event. Here's hoping they turn things around

Personally, I disagree but respect your views! I definitely understand that people aren't happy with the new direction, but personally, I'm excited about it! I'm an enjoyer of the series for mostly the gameplay, and because of that, SB is personally one of my favorites in the franchise, only behind FNaF 1. I also really like the movie and the direction it's taking, minus the less jumpscares. Taking things from the games but having a different timeline and telling the story in a slightly different way, I really like it and definitely the way it should be to not confuse the average audience. Like, imagine if the sequel turns out to be a prequel? This would absolutely make the story super confusing for a regular audience! PG13 was also the right call to make this movie in, especially since the games are 13+ themselves! Also, I view FNaF as a thriller franchise more than scary because while it has creepy moments, especially FNaF 1, those moments don't really scare me much anymore, especially the jumpscares. But hey, these are just my opinions, and I absolutely respect yours, Superstar! Have a great day! And lastly, I ABSOLUTELY HATE POLITICS AND I ABSOLUTELY AGREE THAT WHAT HAPPENED TO SCOTT WAS ONE OF THE DUMBEST THINGS EVER!!!!!!

Blessed by the algorithm to find this video.

Amazing vid the nostalgia from fnaf will definitely never be beat loved ur take on the fan base keep it up👍

Finally someone who is able to speak up the current state of where this franchise heading. I agree with everything you said in this video and it’s unfortunate that FNAF is going to continue down this rabbit hole. Awesome video brother, keep it up!

4:10 “purple gay” is crazy

Fnaf World has more blood then any fnaf game

Most underrated channel ever. Also what about the book fandom. Me myself like the adult games and the books. Though you could add books to adult section because they involve springlock failures and more dark lore.

A few seconds in, I can already tell this will be a good video, keep up the work brotha, I'm sure your content will go boomies in the near future seeing how the YouTube algorithm recommended me this video. Godspeed✊

Great bideo, glad to see more people talking about this problem and the fact how CB kinda killed what what was

bro i can tell u put a lot of work into this good job

FNAF is still dealing with missing kids, therapists, muredred employees, ghosts, and heck, you can even see a corpse-thing in the Maskbot in Ruin! And in the books, the Mimic kills and dismembers people in such a graphic way! (And i know most poeple don't read the books, which is fine, but i had to throw that in there) FNAF is STILL dealing with the same topics and implied gore it did 10 years ago! I don't really get why people say "FNAF is not gory anymore!", like if it ever was. And i get your frustration with the story. But... Afton is not back. Afton is most liekly dead, and might be just an AI replicating William Afton's behaviour. But i still get that the story is getting overcomplicated and is very hard to follow. And that's okay. It's a very fair criticisim. However, i cannot stress how... obnoxious this is. It seems like only the Steel Wool game most old fans like is the one that is literally about the games made by Scott. It's not original, and it's not new. Then Security Breach comes out, and it was a whole mess, and we were all disappointed. People wanted to go back to the time where we were just playing in a dark and dusty office. They give us that same thing in Ruin, but oh no, didn't like it! Try again! And about the FNAF movie... it's a totally fair opinion if you personally didn't like it. But that's not the case for almost the 90% of the people wo watched it. Not just new FNAF fans, but also a lot of people who left the fandom in 2015, and they still liked the movie. The movie is not bad just because you didn't like it. Again, it's absolutely fair if you disliked it, but that not only doesn't make it bad, but that's just not how most people reacted to it. If 90% people disliked it, the movie would (Not only have to be REALLY bad to get so many people displeased) be actually very very bad. It's mostly good because most fans enjoyed it. And again, if you didn't, then that's fine, but your opinion doesn't make it bad (I know i'm not explaining myself good, that's why i repeat things over and over). It's also such a double-standard to say "Most people met FNAF when they were kids", and then say "They should no longer make FNAf for kids!", when FNAF was never more than PG13, nor in 2014, nor in 2019, nor in 2024. FNAF was never for adults. And i understand your point of view, you no longer feel included in the new games as an older fan. The thing is... that's what Steel Wool has been trying to make. They gave us a bad game, saw that people didn't like it, and took all the criticism to make something better. They made Ruin, dark, linear, all dirty and with a much better story. But, no, didn't like it. And it's okay if you think that FNAF is not the same anymore, but changing is not an option. FNAF is pretty much the same, it deals with the same topics, in the same manner, and even keeps old plotpoints and reuses them again, it's just too overcomplicated when it has to exist alongside the older games. FNAF's audience has always been kids, and the kids are not the problem (I know you don't say they are). Your problem is that FNAFl struggles to find a way to attract new young audiences, and keep pleasing to keep the old ones. Or maybe the thing is that... you're no longer the way you used to be when you first met FNAF. You should replay any of the old games. You will most likely not be too scared, because FNAF is not a heavy-horror game. Now, we can find horror in absolutely any other place, and much scarier games. And that's not to say that the FNAF games were never scary, but that most of us are not too sensitive to their horror anymore. I don't know if i explained myself well...

Despite me being a new fan (you can thank the movie for that), I went through a deep dive through all FNAF content since Day 1, and let me say… I WISH I’d been there since Day 1, with my favorite parts of FNAF being the lore, animatronics and SB (the concept and characters, not the story)

I feel like this has happened with more games, and it does suck to see. Nice video!
