I don't see as many people talk about the lyrics "You've been blinded by stardom", even though they bring up many interesting talking points. 1. Its common to see people accuse Scott of being "blinded by stardom". Claiming that Scott Cawthon is cashing in on the fame and fortune FNAF brought him. He's "lazy" and only cares about the money. This is something a ton of people call Scott when critisizing him and his games, and while I disagree, it is something I can understand at this point. The games have gone on for so long, and the story has become so tangled up, that people are questioning if the artistic integrity is even there anymore. "Are Fnaf games being made for passion, or are these just for money now?" 2. Funko has constantly churned out low-effort merch and has flat out leaked charaters before just to advertise, Illumix threw a ton of micro-transactions into their mobile game then flat out dropped it and completely cut ties with FNAF just like that, and Steel Wool released Security Breach as a buggy, broken mess. "They've been blinded by stardom", either making big mistakes or churning out low effort fnaf content just for the money FNAF's name brings. Steel Wool at least owned up and have been trying to fix the game, but the the other two definetly don't care about FNAF at all with how they have treated the franchise. 3. People like Theft King becoming popular, only to be toxic and rude underneath the surface. Lying to fans, bullying, and using their popularity to get away with things. They are "blinded by stardom" and feel like they can get away with whatever they want because of their following, using FNAF as their main way of staying realevent.
I find it fucking amazing that you just hit the nail in the coffin with this comment but here's something I gotta say about illumix. They made people pour so much money into FNAF AR that it is no surprise that they just dumped the project and took the money so im guessing that it was a pump and dump like save the kids (edit) Jesus Christ that's a lot of likes
I won't say Theft was right for what he did but there was a bit of an immature overreaction on both sides not just theft kings. Imagine being told thousands and thousands of deaths threats by a community for a common saying of anger such as "go to hell" sure it's wrong but them doing that makes it no better than theft saying it.
I think I saw somewhere before that someone said that this part of the song is supposed to symbolize Scott's deviating to what FNAF once was. I don't think that's the case though as Scott has always remained true. I think its supposed to symbolize what the FNAF community has become as of recently. Gregory (symbolizing the current state of the fnaf community) is being shown what the old animatronics (what FNAF used to be) and how everything has changed and back then people loved FNAF for what it was are there were no controversies
@@Jedi-ge6lr Nah, some communities have remained the same since their creations. There’s also a lot of communities that have their creator just change completely. Scott hasn’t
ive always wanted to go back in time where when i was a little child watching pretty grumpy bear theorizing about fnaf and watching fnaf death scenes i dont even care if its gory its just nostalgic watching them
You know the controversies the FNAF fandom has now makes me wish we could just go back to the days of when the only thing people would complain about in the fandom was when the next FNAF game would come out or complain about cringy artwork, at least that stuff was harmless.
We can't help that some people act the fan verse devs, or just being toxic in general, but eventually everything will be at peace again and we'll all smile
That's what makes it more sad man Before there was almost no controversy if at all and everyone was so chill and just enjoyed the game and the community Now everytime i see a fnaf video it is either about drama, rants about someone or about the game itself
@@anthonyrelicanthony6452 Sonic... Don't bring THAT side of the fandom here, *i saw things...* And it's horrible, most of the fanbase is killing Sonic, even Sega does and probably knows about it! I hope everything changes with frontiers
I've come the point where I just accept this harsh reality that every community has a bad side. I try to stay on the positive yet admittingly the negative side can be pretty distracting and hard to ignore. Everywhere you go, there will always be toxic people in a community so I don't think this is exclusive to FNaF alone. It's a problem for every fanbase of anything. Best we can do is try not to pay attention to the bad side and let it affect our passion for these things and the passionate people who love these things. Toxic sides will never go away but that doesn't mean we should let it represent an entire group as a whole.
Literally what I wanted to comment too it's just a sad reality that all fanbases are going to have a toxic side that will outshine the positive side of the fanbase and I think more people need to understand that.
@@lycandoodle I never said the negative side overshadows the positive side. I like to think of it as a Ying yang. Best you can do is try and stick around for any genuine and great passionate people that simply love what you love equally. They're around somewhere. You just gotta keep looking. Don't let one rotten side represent an entire group of people as a whole. That's what got us a lot of problems throughout history. This same idea can be implied here. But you're right on the money on how people need to understand that no fanbase is spotless. There is gonna be something bad or flawed somehow. It's inevitable no matter where you look.
I mean, some communities are still ok. Think about Tetris, I don't think I've seen anything bad happen to the Tetris community, probably because of how small it is. Any small community is pretty okay considering not many people are there to ruin it
people always says that every community has a bad and good side Yet theres that one guy who lashes at everyone saying the reason why "this" and "that" community is really bad and you should shame them for being in that community *Cough* gacha community *cough*
I’ve been in the fandom during the beginning too, I think the main issue is for some reason people just love drowning themselves in bitterness instead of appreciating the good in this franchise. I love FNAF 1, I love Security Breach, I love the books, and I love the good this community CAN do. The problem is people like to cling on to the past and not just accept that maybe they need to move on or let go of a past that was really not THAT different from now and learn live in the current moment. I feel like a lot of FNAFs story has been about learning to not drown in despair and learning to forgive and move on from the past, and I find it ironic how so little of the fanbase seems to understand those ideals.
@@wispisang The problem with fnaf now, is that it isn't remotely scary anymore. The focus on "deep lore" has gone so far that the games themselves just aren't scary.
@@Frille512 Was it ever that scary tho? Idk for me it was never about how scary it is because the only time it was scary to me was when I was like 12. Now I’m just here for the fun vibes tbh.
“You’ve been blinded by stardom” As much as this relates to Scott, I also feel like it’s a shot to us, the consumers. Think about it, most of us have loved this fandom from a young age, practically grew up with it. Stayed up late, watching compilations and theories, reading and rereading information, piecing together never ending timelines…we were blinded by the mystery. Making OC’s, fan stories, collecting merchandise for lore…It was amazing, to think we had so much power to make our own story…turning a blind eye to the problems running rampant in the community. We were truly blinded by stardom…not our own, but FNAF’s 🥲
Im not sure if this is an insult to the fnaf community as a whole but i will admit some parts of the community can be toxic. Every community has its good and bad side coz nobody can ever agree or be nice on everyone or everything
Everything it's falling apart for me now, i just sit in a corner for like 10 minutes just to remember those good old times, while listening to some fnaf songs (you know, TLT, DaGames, etc...)
The problem with the fnaf community is that the asshole people most of the time go unnoticed. Yeah you have your TheftKing's and your Hunter.L's, but there is a cat abuser in the fnaf animation community and barely any people know about it.
@AstonTheDerpyness He groomed someone. Sent death threat's to a lot of people and started beating his brother in a stream or somethin. (not sure about the last one)
I hate that people are joining the fandom as a trend now because when I was started to get into the fandom which was 6 years ago, I was made fun of for just liking the game.
I remember playing FNaF when I was six. I started six years ago,when I didn't know even the name of the game. By the way: you're right. This new community (just the toxic one) is a fucking mess
To be honest. I seen how the FNAF community first became a thing and it was fun. But then it became toxic with everyone turning on each other for stuff they did and crap. And then ignoring people. I'm probably just one of the fewest people who very loyal to the community and i want it to have a great impression. I just wish people explore that more
Same it was really fun watching all the animations and theories it had a huge impact on me since it was the first fandom i had joined its so sad seeing what it became now
Those times were the best, I do remember someone going out of their way, To make a story arg or so, When the only fnaf was fnaf 1, It was so damn fun to watch and listen to, Unfortunately the times have ended, and what we have gotten i am disappointed with.
I'm kinda new to the fandom but I know what it once was and now it's a mess people making NSFW art being toxic and all around pretty shitty people every time I watch this I know it's our fault it was for a show a long time ago we've been filling our wounds with pounds of salt ie us being toxic there's scars we can't quantify because people are toxic and yell at you just because you don't like their opinion we've locked everything fun about fnaf in a vault and well this entire thing is our fault
@@kirb2electric i mean. I met few people who does nsfw are alright but like. Like.. ALL of them and sfw artist are bad shit rude and disrespectful. And people exposing each other. And i seen mods and all alike do nothing to prevent it from happening. Fame loves misery....
When you mention “ignoring people” this resonates with me. I never want to admit it, but I am ignored myself. I’ve experienced that pain of being ignored because of how I act, react, create and discuss. I’ve been shamed by others for never speaking, never playing with them, and never meeting their “standards.” So much so I had laid down my career in the chase of reality. Because reality is the only shred of dignity I have left compared to what I tried to be. It’s a shame but that’s how it was, I only wish I could go back to the times I just built worlds of my own creation and shared them. That’s the only thing I had fun with and was appreciated for. Thanks for sharing your thoughts, I honestly felt too shy to say that otherwise beforehand.
exacly, but i still love fnaf, just because of the Game, the characters, The accuratte animations, The Songs, and the merch. The fandom with ships and other discusting things its the problem.
It’s painful, I don’t pay attention to the Fnaf community anymore but I can tell there’s just as much pain in the community then any other community, it’s upsetting how quickly we all grew up and grew apart eventually.
It’s honestly sad. I have been a fan of fnaf since the fourth game and left the fandom for a little bit because security breach. I only came back because of the fanverse and the vhs tapes because that’s what fnaf is to me.
Eventually, there comes a time where you learn how to ignore a community completely, and simply enjoy something for what it is, by yourself and with some friends.
Yk before the scott stuff the fnaf fanbase was drama free for the most part It seems after the scott drama people just didn't care and decided to go ham
Still wish the Dream Theory was the one we'd stopped at and to be the actual correct guess, but because of the community's backlash and greed for more we've arrived at this point. "Leave the demon to his demons. Rest your own soul. There is nothing else." always stuck to me as a message that supported it and also would help the fandom to move on..
I dont think Scott's original "It was all a dream" thing was a good call. I for one think that Pizzeria Simulator is the definitive ending. The series is a *game* series, it *can* have a little paranormal, so the concept of child souls *actually inhabitating and possesing* animatronic characters (or suits, or corpses in suits) is not far fetched, and is actually more in-like with what the main Fnaf genre should be, that being horror. More in-line with Horror than sentient friendly AI in super-complex sci-fi robots is significantly less horror-y than the constantly tormented souls of literal murdered children looking for revenge, eventually letting go, all except for the One He Should Not Have Killed. And Ultimate Custom Night being the bonus probably-not-canon "Prologue" game about William going into his own personal hell controlled by the soul inside Golden Freddy is cool.
Honestly, this hurts me so much. In my life, I always felt so alone because I have a communication problem and not like other kids that are strong in their own way and up until now. Recently, I have been feeling super down, and honestly FNAF and other games I have been in has kinda helped me with my life a little, kinda like my safe space. I felt so happy, it gave me some positivity. But of course the term "every fandom is toxic" will never be avoided and honestly the safe space I once had vanished. Right now, I haven't been feeling okay lately and I don't know where to go....😔 (Sorry if my explaining is bad, I just wanted to get this out of my chest because of how much pain I have been feeling.)
@𝙰𝚛𝚒𝚏𝚞𝚖𝚒 Amino be like, but yea i experienced that 4 years ago and almost u ll find a lot of toxic and cringe people s3x rollin or talkin bout his depressed life tue gain attention. I am glad to be here like a best person, and getting better every day in my life, gud night.
As a old animator i'm here since a long time and the only good thing happen in this community is- Nothing actually. That's why I half stoped making animation/Short/Collab parts/Collab This community create drama for nothing, literally you need to s*** people to have a bit of luck and if your new you can learn everything and be good in less than 5 weeks if you know the good person. and another thing is EVERY FNAF SONG SINCE NOW IS THE F** SAME literally nothing change and you see the same singer in the song "CG5, DAGames, etc.." Same for the "official animation" always "Coda, or others famous name" I understand you want some good animations but I mean try to be original a bit. Also this is Razar (RazarTonic) idk if you know me lol I kinda stop using this name for my channel and also stop interracting with the Fnaf community.
Made my own video on This Comes From Inside and this was undoubtedly the most important section for pinning down the message The Living Tombstone was trying to convey about the FNaF community.
i dont understand people who say that "insert here name of absolutely any fandom" fandom is "toxic" just ignore the freaks and enjoy the good part of community, what's wrong?
I think this could be symbolism on how Scott got carried away with the series. He wanted to please everyone, but he started regretting what he let it become, with all the pressure mounting on him to make the next big thing, along with some controversy sprinkled in.
Yknow, seeing the atrocity the fandom has become nowadays makes me somewhat sad, but it also makes me feel pretty lucky that I jumped ship *long* ago before things became what they are now. Good luck lads, *you're gonna need it.*
0:35 this part makes me upset the most because I hear it as "Your losing us" "It's time to give up" "stop trying to save this community" and then I remember the beginning the first game where it all started especially with the nostalgia playing it really gets me going The FNAF community/Fandom has really took a turn for the worst.. especially with the games coming to an end I don't want it to end though but of course nothing goes on forever FNAF has been there for me through dark times like..right now I grew out of my phase/quit the fandom a while ago then I came back..that is when everything went to shit Scott was getting ddosed alot was just going on and then security breach was coming out and stuff then the man himself retired... Many people will say "it's a game it's not that deep" but when the thing you know and love that has helped you through times is starting to- you know📉 it's hard to watch you could only remember the good things But there is nothing we can do the community will be like this until the game finally/eventually dies completely But FNAF will always be there for us.
Being blinded by stardom… Wow. These lyrics show so so many true sides of all Fnaf, but what I find impressive too is that their singing sounds so nice and „educating“ yet cautious somehow…
I remember in 2017 when I first discovered FNAF. Everything was beautiful, there was no controversy, people made their own FNAF ocs and fan games, everyone was just being passionate fans and bonding over the game they loved. But once Scott left, it's like the entire fandom collapsed into something not worth being in. Like fiery flames engulfing a childhood place. people were leaving left and right because they couldn't take it anymore or they didn't find a reason to be in it anymore. I grew out of the fandom since it doesn't interest me anymore, and what I used to love is now a shell of the past. Funko keeps making cheap figures and plushies to sell to clueless people. Steel wool failed on security breach and the only good thing that came out of it were the characters' designs. this fandom can't be fixed.
I believe this about the old days. Early 2010s where sfm vids were made about the story, parodies, songs, etc. Now to see a franchise fall and people loose interest. The toxicity of people and their viewpoints and making up bewildering accusations for their narratives. As it said, “everything is a problem” Just because we want nostalgia and relive our old days. And the song depicts that in a way that begs to have that. Showing that even the ones that entertained us way back understand the idea of our memories with them.
This song's vibe in geenral to me feels like an old fnaf fan coming back to their childhood nostalgia and seeing how the fandom they once loved has completely degraded to constant controversies, drama, and how the parts of lore they loved (the focus on grief and anger of the dead, the souls of the dead kids, the urban legend-y feel of it, the feeling that this could've been a real story people told about a pizzeria chain, the lore digging was for fun and the methods actually made sense and didn't span multiple medias of overconvoluted mess) has been abandoned for the (overconvoluted, messy) story of one killer and his son in what is bordering on a fantasy world at this point (look at the books if you don't understand what i mean by fantasy world, it is just, so far from what the old fnaf lore was it's almost not the same franchise) and it kind of makes me sad, because that person is me.
I’m not a theorist or anything, but I kinda do wonder why the animatronics don’t have any eyes in the beginning. And once we hear you know, that iconic FNaF line from the very first song “waiting for you every night” they appear to have eyes and more emotion. I don’t know, just kinda saw that. Very sad to see the state of this game now, wish I could go back.
0:17 this goes to all those people who made fnaf family friendly and making it for kids,like those fnaf Minecraft shorts. people are thinking fnaf is for kids thanks to them
This song with that voice is a banger and reminds me of the first original fnaf fan song You know the one Living tombstone If there is a full cover of this please do let me know I understand what this is conveying to a degree Even in the modern fnaf I still love it to death but just like any franchise has it problems But I too miss the old days where there wasn't any drama except people arguing that the phone guy was the purple guy Or willtrap vs miketrap But everything just gets ruined in the modern day do to politics, identities, and sexualities You cannot disagree with one or you are evil It's funny Scott donated not because he hated LGBT but because he thought we needed a stronger military force to protect us from invaders but instead of seeing that as "He wants the U.S to be strong so we can keep having these freedoms of being gay and such" They saw it as "Well he is donating for that racist, bigot! He hates us!" And would prefer him to donate too a bunch of lying hypocrites who don't even care but say they are for the LGBT who would sooner let us all be enslaved and destroy all of our freedom including LGBT rights and leave us 300 years back in history It's all these people care about anymore! Poor Scott was trying to be helpful but his kindness was seen as a threat and like a bunch of snakes they turned on him and drove out the hero of millions of kids who grew up with a beautifully made game series This wouldn't have been so horrible back in the early 2000s this is the world we live in now One where there can be no fun unless it is politically correct I just miss when there was little drama As a secret message that may not be intended I could also see Gregory being targeted by the og animatronics as the og fans blaming it on steel wool and security breach rather then the fandom itself which alot of fans seem to do but It's not Scotts fault, it's not steel wools fault The reason why the community is toxic is the community blaming and turning on each other like snakes And poor little Gregory is there punching bag to blame it on Remember the old days of Markiplier playing the games And five nights at candy's And aeily artist, and Bonnie bunny/Purple Guy/Gold box, and MineCraftGamwer is animations The good old times Yellow Bear! Golden freddy was the murder suit! The first time we saw golden freddy fixed and Springtrap performing on stage in the mini games The emotions when Fnaf 3 ended and you knew it was the end Or fnaf 4 the box the emotional song that played when the crying child flatlined Or fnaf 6 finally ending it for good UCN the love letter to fnaf and a final goodbye Remember when Vr came out it was so cool I miss the old days and I constantly try to reminisce in them Edit: if this came out wrong I'm not referring to the LGBT community as a whole as bad people I'm just venting about the select few that you see all over the internet giving the LGBT a bad reputation screaming and making a fuss and hurting people Just wanted to clarify that
"Gregory being targeted by the og animatronics as the og fans blaming it on steel wool and security breach rather then the fandom itself" I guess it's a mix of both. I wish people had not pressured for the game to come out, and I wish Steel Wool and Scott hadn't released the game in a broken state. The game had so much interesting ideas cut to appear more child friendly, the horror factor was not as significant, and the story was a mess. I can see why people were divided on the game, but I do wish that ogs and newer fans could get along. I do miss when things were not so complicated.
@@yeetneat Sony gave them a date before Christmas because Sony only cared about sales and everyone ran Steel Wool into an over ambitious corner and basically the Dawko interview with them kinda sums it up tbh
@@yeetneat There's no need to wish, the truth is that the devs were pressured and were too ambitious, Steel Wool are nice and wholesome people who learn from theirs mistakes, and yes *I still know what you mean* but all they need is time and patience and they can make amazing projects, they didn't tease us properly when it came to SB, and when they did we can see that majority of this stuff isn't in the game and when they teased us again, it was an over tease, since we didn't get most of that stuff, if you look at the last SB trailer, we actually get everything that happened, Matpat claims that after his two SB theories, the game got delayed twice so I'll just let that sink in
Not Just the community, The way how everything about our childhood fell apart on CZcams and etc. People, places, the things we had, The times we cannot get back and so much more.
The FNaF fandom is so toxic that they’ll yell at you for “misgendering” a character, mostly Mangle, Marionette, Funtime Foxy, and Golden Freddy. As some whose favorite character is Mangle, I had a hard time talking about her because people would yell at me for whatever pronouns I used, and those people killed Scott’s “Mangle’s gender is yes” joke. I’ve almost always used she/her for Mangle because she just looks and sounds like a girl to me (That’s a bit close minded these days but I just kinda thought since Mangle was built in the 80’s for a family friendly establishment they probably didn’t make Mangle non-binary or anything like that since at the time it wasn’t that accepted). I don’t understand why people would fight me over a fictional character’s gender. I don’t think it matters tbh and it really shouldn’t matter.
I kinda get what u mean with how security breach has brought in some of the tik tok users so some of the fandom is more cringe now but I've liked this game for ages and never had an interaction like that, nor know anyone who's had an interaction like that. U might be talking to the wrong ppl bro
It really does. Despite not being with this series since the start I still see the contrast between the community before and after SB. The "you've been blinded by stardom " and "you're losing it all" lines match this perfectly, as this fanbase is losing the prestige it once had over the false stardom of controversy.
Honestly I've never seen the community discussed with prestige before, was basically always the butt of jokes from almost the start. The community hasn't even been treated with respect by people outside of it before things blew up.
When golden Freddy says “this is your fault” I think he’s referring to how fnaf has just turned into an endless process of milking the games for money, like fnaf ar.
"every fandom has toxicity" Yeah, they do, but the proportions of the positive and negative parts vary wildly, and Fnaf's community is absolutely atrocious, you cant compare it to every other community
Hah. It seems you havent seen the historical fandoms yet; mostly Hetalia, Countryhumans, and Hamilton. No one has it worse than shipping Nazis and a truck load of Sweet Home Alabama :D
I haven't kept up with the community in awhile, only sticking too myself and few select friends about it. But in the scene where Chica seems too be confused by the amount of animatronics, it could be seen as a symbol: She's been pushed further from her original idea/character, and in times left out of the game. Representing how far and how much has changed since the beginning.
"Everything is a problem" sums up the community, dream theory was where it all was supposed to be end but everyone wanted more and more from the story and it just got more and more tangled
It is depressing that people nowadays get easily triggered by one’s opinion on politics and go even far to Dox them.. worse yet threaten them to kill them and their love ones. It is sick and twisted to think about….
I can understand Scott with the whole being cancelled/threatened with death threats online just because you have different political views/opinions thing because i TOO was cancelled and threatened all because I wasn't a liberal🤷♀️
I remember when the main controversy in the FNAF community was about FNAF world back in 2016... Simple problems for simple people, oh how i miss those days...
I feel like every community has something wrong, and the worst people IN that community are sometimes there people who try to STOP the bad stuff! Trying to stop it can make it more public, reach more people, make that bad thing bigger and make other people make other videos that ALSO make similar videos, growing the problem. This video isn’t one of those (thankfully) but we have to realize that we have to embrace the bad stuff, because if we don’t, it’s just going to grow and make the community crumble.
I think part of the problem was the fact that everyone wanted to feel "that way" again about fnaf. We were all charmed and terrified by fnaf when we were young and loved coming up with theories and things over it. Now that we're older and have learned the story (the general idea at least), all of us are nostalgic for the way things were then and want to go back to it in the form of a new game and extended story. I admit Scott's gotten a little carried away, but let's be honest. None of us are scared of fnaf anymore and we're just holding onto the past. It's a lose-lose situation either way.
I love that I got recommended this cause I left the Fnaf community for a bit then turn around for some nostalgia ig and it's just burning itself to the ground.
FNAF first came out 2 years after my best friends and i graduated high school together and it even had us talking and watching theory videos together! A charming and dark childrens story told through hidden easter eggs in a game was so addicting to solve together with other people. But once the truth came out that there was no coherent story planned and that Scott was just rolling with it for the fun of it, the magic was gone but i gained a new appreciation for it because i thought it was pretty funny. It's not about the destination, it's about the journey!
It pains me to know that the community that once brought us all together, allowed us to laugh, cry, sing, and theorize together, is now just a community that tears us all apart and drives nothing but hatred. Yes in the old days of the community there were still some issues, but love overpowered the hate. Good hit harder than the bad. Because we were all in unity. We were stronger together which is what made it great, what made us family
“ now this is your fault” I kind of think that’s towards the people who freaking canceled Scott… “ everything is a problem” because it’s their fault that Scott left.. because people can be so freaking stupid over Scott just donating some money.. it didn’t even hurt them he just donated money..
@@BlueFoxy87 I'm saying that he had donated more money to LGBTQ+ charities before, with more money than he did donating to the politics that were against it. People on Twitter when they canceled Scott said one of the reasons they wanted him gone was because was it made him be labeled as homophobic.
I've seen people treat actual criminals nicer than how they treated Scott for donating some money. It's always ticked me off how after all the things Scott did, it's him spending a few bucks that brought it all down.
@@LITTLEOINK9000 what’s worse is that the speculation people made to hate him were all the wrong reasons for Scott donating to the politics chosen in the first place. Everyone saying he is or was a trump follower (in a negative way) and calling him homophobic, doxxing him and wanting him away from FNAF or just outright leaving and hating on it. They made a man look like the Devil because they rushed to conclusions over one look at a piece of information. Despite all the help he gave to gamers, fans, kids, minorities, future developers, and like it or not: babies born (pro life) military defenses, better financial handling. which were the reasons he donated to those politicians. It wasn’t even something as seriously horrible like murders or SA. I hate this day in age where it is the choice of “Far Left / Far Right, no compromise”. It only hurts people.
I can see how it is talking about the fandom the part with Freddy singing "a long time ago it was all for a show" can mean that at the start it was just a game with a story while the parts with bonnie chica and foxy are saying how we as a fandom try to reason different theories and headcanons for why something happened that's what "and your reason to justify, scars you can't quantify" refers to the part where it says its our fault litteraly blames us and how we make thing difficult and a problem the poison is probably the despair that people feel in the community always being there and the part after that refers to how someone can loose things because they get blinded by stardom and they think they are alone at the top but there are always people there waiting for either a new video or theory and the "your mine" part is probably about how once you enter that part of the fandom you can't get out
I don't know how that feels because I'm not a follower.. do I like FNAF:yes, but I don't like the people that go deep into it, or that take things to serious, and sometimes you have to grow up, if you keep liking the same thing over and over your not gonna get anywhere, now if your like me.. where I think it's just a game, a game you play as a kid. If your over 25 and still playing this game that just tells you how much of a person you are, a person who doesn't move on or try different things then just 1. What do I know?
You mean UCN, and lore wise the series didn't end because Henry is a fucking clown who drawn out a flawed plan, and Scott made the SB teaser in 2020 because he wanted more from this series, like how he wasn't satisfied with Fnaf 3, and it's are faults that we act like this, ending the game's wouldn't really do much if we're being honest bro
or a twitter user who has a life so useless that deciced to search stuff of scott and just because he gave money to republic candidates and because his brain has less than 10 braincells he could only think ¨AIN'T NO WAY SCOTT IS HOMPHOBIC, I HAVE TO CANCEL DOXX HIM AND LITERALLY TREATHEN HIS WHOLE FAMILY AND HIS PREGNANT WIFE¨
Honestly I love the fnaf community its got some really talented and just all around lovely people. However there is an alarming amount of people who are either people who will take things way too far and threaten people insult people and ship the animatronics (they are possessed by kids ffs.)etc. I grew up with this community and I just want to see it get along better.
ok but how Is it supposed to represent a critique of the fandom's response to Security Breach? Or a critique of Security Breach and the FNaF brand? Is it aimed at Scott, Steel Wool, or the players? I might be stupid but I don't really get what these lyrics are in reference to, I think ''Time To Move On'' probably did the same thing but better.....
To the fandom, due to their endless amount of drama and pettiness that happened on the last years, which eventually helped to drew fnaf to it's current state. It was a part of them that made scott's retirement happen more faster. A part of them rushed steel wool for security breach, and the game came out buggy and with a different story (part of the fault goes to a....certain.....developer from the fanverse experience.) These behaviours aren't new mind you. They're as old as 2017.
a lot of people say scott is making these games for money, but at this point i think he is just doing it for fun, seeing how people love to interact with his games and seeing all the positive things about it, its his hobby, he makes games for his family and everyone apart of the fnaf community.
This song doesn't talk about the controversies You could literally take the lines from any TLT fnaf song and use it the same way. It's just a very subjective talking about the lore, that's why their songs are so good. They aren't completely literal. But shoving them that context is exactly what Scott said we shouldn't do. "sometimes a story is just a story"
I dont see how "youve been blinded by stardom" is related to fnaf lore though. Honestly, i think its a clear statement on the current virality and state of the franchise. TLT wasnt even going to make another song but to me it seems he wanted to make another one to prove a point. To show how fargone it is you could say, but hey you could also very well be right
@@SuperBUPboi67 Yes but I don't see how it could be something related to the current state of the franchise. It could be related to William Afton, as the kids say that he locked them, and the "stardom" could have been Afton's chance to come back, or also the power of souls that he tried to hold. The way it's phrased it's obvious is an attacking statement, obviously not something TLT want's to say to the fans nor Scott. like "your reason to justify scars you can't quantify" or "despair is an eternal blight" or "now this is your fault" or all of the first verse that was talking from the glamrocks' point of view.
Another way to say it is just that the fandom will never grow up, anything that bothers them will be tossed out in the most toxic way possible and people will ride on that train until it ends and that's when they will jump train and ride another one in an endless toxic cycle
when that first game theory video for fnaf came out i was hooked and settled i loved that explanation for the game and how grounded it was and it just made the game even more terrifying to play. now it’s all pg13 and nothing about fnaf scares me anymore. the whole reason i got into fnaf was the horror of children getting stuffed in chuck e. cheese suits being put in a game was fun and scary. now it’s not fun or scary
It was a commissioned model that Coda asked for and shared with the community (I believe) I like this Gregory model too due to how stylized it looks and fits in with the goofy animatronics. I never understood why they have to go for more realism with the original (facial wise)
As much as I love FNaF, I really can't get over the fact that other FNaF fans that like to ship or like to make non-canon AUs for videos even though some people find it bothering or disgusting. I was a bit disappointed when Security Breach came out cause I didn't understand who Gregory was or what was his point in the community until I started watching these theories like from Game Theory and stuff I- Sort of started to understand him? I mean, he still confuses me to this day but- Sometimes I feel like the community is falling apart because all of the little kids out there making stupid videos that entertain other little kids. It just- I don't know anymore...
I’ll be honest, some AUs are actually creative and cool, but the other ones… like the ones the 5 year old peanut butter babies make… those just ruin the fandom, and I’m a veteran who has been in the fandom since the first game. Being honest, I’m sad Security Breach exists, because the new “lore” just has no plot relevance and all the new people joining the fandom don’t know the point and they are just throwing the fandom into one big obese trash hole. I would literally watch that one Tony Crynight thing instead of watching the new junk now. :/
I mean, greg is just a little kid. Nothing more. Perhaps he is a smart kid, or depending on theories a reincarnation of one of the dead kids, but overall he is just a kid
I also think this applies to the fandom. The line "you've been blinded by stardom" can be given so many meanings, so I think it applies to fans too. So many fans just can't wait for the upcoming release of whatever FNAF has in store, and not in the good way. I just think the fandom has become impatient and volatile, pressing the very same devs and content creators to put out more content with an expected level of quality, instead of just giving things time. In a way I can't blame them, since Scott himself sometimes broke his own deadlines, but I think some fans don't understand that with new releases, it's much less likely to happen. Idk, rant that I'm maybe basing off of nothing lol
“everything is a problem” i believe this part talks about how the fandom became toxic because Scott, who has a right to his opinion, held an opinion not everyone agreed with and people threw tantrums on twitter and the “Now this is your fault” is talking about how that made him retire early.
Every game franchise has its bad games. Just look at Sonic, a dozen bad games and look at it now, two hit movies and a very promising game coming out soon. Think of this as Fnaf's puberty phase, it might get weird, but in the end it will be worth it.
What if, and hear me out, we just didn't care and enjoyed the game with the goofy ahh animatronic bear for what it is, I mean just because it's being made with money in mind, as all major corporations do with gaming stuff at this point, doesn't mean the passion is entirely gone or that anyone who says literally anything has to be toxic or controversial. Sometimes we can just enjoy the thing for what it is and create stuff based on that thing out of passion, we don't have to get upset with the people behind this stuff over things like their political views and such because everyone has the right to an opinion, especially when they don't speak openly about said opinion, and they are not what defines the game. For once can the internet not be toxic and tear things apart because of something such as opinions, I mean imagine if someone did the exact same thing to you every time they didn't disagree with your opinions, after all there isn't one single thing in the world everyone can agree on so *someone* is bound to disagree with you regardless of what your stance is.
I miss old fnaf..The first fnaf Video I watch was gamegrumps video..And then I watch zajcu videos about sfm animations..To this day..I still love fnaf..But let's face it..Every person has a darkside..That includes the developers and the community itself..The best thing we can do is just move on,Think of it as a thing that happens daily..The Negative side always get bigger..But also mentally unhealthy..We should also have some gratitude for once..This is already a main problem in most communities..There's always the toxic side of a fandom..It also doesn't solve the problem at all..But rather adapt to another stage..One last thing..Just do what you like,Do what you desire and stay motivated as a sharp knife
There really isn’t anything I could say that the other comments haven’t already, so I’ll just point out that the voice in this part is the same one as the FNAF 1 song, which I guess drives home everything about the good old days.
Even with Fnaf hiding in the background of most of the communities and not being the spotlight. It still has a tight grip and not every community could reach the same peak Fnaf had. I'm still cautiously waiting for the fan games to respark that love for fnaf that I had while also giving a new experience.
I was expecting the song to be about security breach and the more 'recent' games but its amazing to see the og's and how they interact with a new character (Gregory).
![Smoother animation ≠ Better animation [read description]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/_KRb_qV9P4g/mqdefault.jpg)
I don't see as many people talk about the lyrics "You've been blinded by stardom", even though they bring up many interesting talking points.
1. Its common to see people accuse Scott of being "blinded by stardom". Claiming that Scott Cawthon is cashing in on the fame and fortune FNAF brought him. He's "lazy" and only cares about the money. This is something a ton of people call Scott when critisizing him and his games, and while I disagree, it is something I can understand at this point. The games have gone on for so long, and the story has become so tangled up, that people are questioning if the artistic integrity is even there anymore. "Are Fnaf games being made for passion, or are these just for money now?"
2. Funko has constantly churned out low-effort merch and has flat out leaked charaters before just to advertise, Illumix threw a ton of micro-transactions into their mobile game then flat out dropped it and completely cut ties with FNAF just like that, and Steel Wool released Security Breach as a buggy, broken mess. "They've been blinded by stardom", either making big mistakes or churning out low effort fnaf content just for the money FNAF's name brings. Steel Wool at least owned up and have been trying to fix the game, but the the other two definetly don't care about FNAF at all with how they have treated the franchise.
3. People like Theft King becoming popular, only to be toxic and rude underneath the surface. Lying to fans, bullying, and using their popularity to get away with things. They are "blinded by stardom" and feel like they can get away with whatever they want because of their following, using FNAF as their main way of staying realevent.
I think the second one is the most probable meaning, though idk
I really like all your points. Personally i like to think is all of them.
All your points are goddamn right
I find it fucking amazing that you just hit the nail in the coffin with this comment but here's something I gotta say about illumix. They made people pour so much money into FNAF AR that it is no surprise that they just dumped the project and took the money so im guessing that it was a pump and dump like save the kids
(edit) Jesus Christ that's a lot of likes
I won't say Theft was right for what he did but there was a bit of an immature overreaction on both sides not just theft kings. Imagine being told thousands and thousands of deaths threats by a community for a common saying of anger such as "go to hell" sure it's wrong but them doing that makes it no better than theft saying it.
I like how at 0:37 chica looks confused about why there are tons of animatronics
i can never unsee that now
Another detail I found funny is that chica’s cupcake still has eyes and he just looks depressed

@@RickyMouse421 Chica: Oh God, who are these people. Why am I here? Aghhhhhhh!

I think I saw somewhere before that someone said that this part of the song is supposed to symbolize Scott's deviating to what FNAF once was. I don't think that's the case though as Scott has always remained true. I think its supposed to symbolize what the FNAF community has become as of recently. Gregory (symbolizing the current state of the fnaf community) is being shown what the old animatronics (what FNAF used to be) and how everything has changed and back then people loved FNAF for what it was are there were no controversies
can't put it into words better myself.
i thought like that too
Isn't this true for almost every community, though?
@@Jedi-ge6lr Nah, some communities have remained the same since their creations. There’s also a lot of communities that have their creator just change completely. Scott hasn’t
@@DavidGarcia-fp8qd its just the community being toxic
This community went from conspiracies to controversies

underrated comment.
Can we go back to conspiracy or something I like that better.
As most Fandoms will
ive always wanted to go back in time where when i was a little child watching pretty grumpy bear theorizing about fnaf and watching fnaf death scenes i dont even care if its gory its just nostalgic watching them
You know the controversies the FNAF fandom has now makes me wish we could just go back to the days of when the only thing people would complain about in the fandom was when the next FNAF game would come out or complain about cringy artwork, at least that stuff was harmless.
We can't help that some people act the fan verse devs, or just being toxic in general, but eventually everything will be at peace again and we'll all smile
Ya I wanna go back to the good old days but every moves on but we still have memories of the times
That's what makes it more sad man
Before there was almost no controversy if at all and everyone was so chill and just enjoyed the game and the community
Now everytime i see a fnaf video it is either about drama, rants about someone or about the game itself
I'd love to go back to the old days where the biggest possible controversy with FNAF was what gender Mangle was

Here's the original video czcams.com/video/X6ELpluyZyg/video.html
I've come the point where I just accept this harsh reality that every community has a bad side. I try to stay on the positive yet admittingly the negative side can be pretty distracting and hard to ignore. Everywhere you go, there will always be toxic people in a community so I don't think this is exclusive to FNaF alone. It's a problem for every fanbase of anything. Best we can do is try not to pay attention to the bad side and let it affect our passion for these things and the passionate people who love these things. Toxic sides will never go away but that doesn't mean we should let it represent an entire group as a whole.
Literally what I wanted to comment too it's just a sad reality that all fanbases are going to have a toxic side that will outshine the positive side of the fanbase and I think more people need to understand that.
@@lycandoodle I never said the negative side overshadows the positive side. I like to think of it as a Ying yang. Best you can do is try and stick around for any genuine and great passionate people that simply love what you love equally. They're around somewhere. You just gotta keep looking. Don't let one rotten side represent an entire group of people as a whole. That's what got us a lot of problems throughout history. This same idea can be implied here. But you're right on the money on how people need to understand that no fanbase is spotless. There is gonna be something bad or flawed somehow. It's inevitable no matter where you look.
About time somebody said it.
I mean, some communities are still ok. Think about Tetris, I don't think I've seen anything bad happen to the Tetris community, probably because of how small it is. Any small community is pretty okay considering not many people are there to ruin it
people always says that every community has a bad and good side
Yet theres that one guy who lashes at everyone saying the reason why "this" and "that" community is really bad and you should shame them for being in that community
*Cough* gacha community *cough*
This perfectly sums up the contrast of the start of the fandom, which I was a part of, and the state it is in today
I’ve been in the fandom during the beginning too, I think the main issue is for some reason people just love drowning themselves in bitterness instead of appreciating the good in this franchise. I love FNAF 1, I love Security Breach, I love the books, and I love the good this community CAN do. The problem is people like to cling on to the past and not just accept that maybe they need to move on or let go of a past that was really not THAT different from now and learn live in the current moment. I feel like a lot of FNAFs story has been about learning to not drown in despair and learning to forgive and move on from the past, and I find it ironic how so little of the fanbase seems to understand those ideals.
@@wispisang The problem with fnaf now, is that it isn't remotely scary anymore. The focus on "deep lore" has gone so far that the games themselves just aren't scary.
@@Frille512 Was it ever that scary tho? Idk for me it was never about how scary it is because the only time it was scary to me was when I was like 12. Now I’m just here for the fun vibes tbh.

“You’ve been blinded by stardom”
As much as this relates to Scott, I also feel like it’s a shot to us, the consumers. Think about it, most of us have loved this fandom from a young age, practically grew up with it. Stayed up late, watching compilations and theories, reading and rereading information, piecing together never ending timelines…we were blinded by the mystery. Making OC’s, fan stories, collecting merchandise for lore…It was amazing, to think we had so much power to make our own story…turning a blind eye to the problems running rampant in the community. We were truly blinded by stardom…not our own, but FNAF’s 🥲
I love this take on it smm
Im not sure if this is an insult to the fnaf community as a whole but i will admit some parts of the community can be toxic. Every community has its good and bad side coz nobody can ever agree or be nice on everyone or everything
This is one of the most based and factually right comments in the comment section
Everything it's falling apart for me now, i just sit in a corner for like 10 minutes just to remember those good old times, while listening to some fnaf songs (you know, TLT, DaGames, etc...)
@𝙰𝚛𝚒𝚏𝚞𝚖𝚒 agreed. people always have to comment their opinions even if its extremely unnecessary and rude
Trust me pal, the worst thing being supported in a Fandom is Nazism
Legit the undertale fandom
The problem with the fnaf community is that the asshole people most of the time go unnoticed.
Yeah you have your TheftKing's and your Hunter.L's, but there is a cat abuser in the fnaf animation community and barely any people know about it.
Who is that ?
Yea, also interested in who said person is
The person is called SprangTrup
@AstonTheDerpyness He groomed someone. Sent death threat's to a lot of people and started beating his brother in a stream or somethin. (not sure about the last one)
@AstonTheDerpyness I expect the bad side of any fandom to just be toxic and allowing. I was not expecting this
I hate that people are joining the fandom as a trend now because when I was started to get into the fandom which was 6 years ago, I was made fun of for just liking the game.
Don't hate what anybody does bro
I still get picked on for liking the game, but I try to ignore them.
Minecraft's popularity as a whole.
I legit hid the interest for a bit because I was afraid
Heck my happiest moments were when my friend talked about it and I started to open up
I remember playing FNaF when I was six.
I started six years ago,when I didn't know even the name of the game.
By the way: you're right.

To be honest. I seen how the FNAF community first became a thing and it was fun. But then it became toxic with everyone turning on each other for stuff they did and crap.
And then ignoring people.
I'm probably just one of the fewest people who very loyal to the community and i want it to have a great impression. I just wish people explore that more
Same it was really fun watching all the animations and theories it had a huge impact on me since it was the first fandom i had joined its so sad seeing what it became now
Those times were the best, I do remember someone going out of their way, To make a story arg or so, When the only fnaf was fnaf 1, It was so damn fun to watch and listen to, Unfortunately the times have ended, and what we have gotten i am disappointed with.
I'm kinda new to the fandom but I know what it once was and now it's a mess people making NSFW art being toxic and all around pretty shitty people every time I watch this I know it's our fault it was for a show a long time ago we've been filling our wounds with pounds of salt ie us being toxic there's scars we can't quantify because people are toxic and yell at you just because you don't like their opinion we've locked everything fun about fnaf in a vault and well this entire thing is our fault

When you mention “ignoring people” this resonates with me. I never want to admit it, but I am ignored myself. I’ve experienced that pain of being ignored because of how I act, react, create and discuss. I’ve been shamed by others for never speaking, never playing with them, and never meeting their “standards.” So much so I had laid down my career in the chase of reality. Because reality is the only shred of dignity I have left compared to what I tried to be. It’s a shame but that’s how it was, I only wish I could go back to the times I just built worlds of my own creation and shared them. That’s the only thing I had fun with and was appreciated for.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, I honestly felt too shy to say that otherwise beforehand.
the only time I remember when the internet didn’t argue back and forth is in 2003 when MSN was still used.
i agree
What's MSN I was born in 2006 so I don't know about anything of this
"MSN Messenger" was a computer program that let you add friends and text them.
It was kinda like email but with a texting feature.
exacly, but i still love fnaf, just because of the Game, the characters, The accuratte animations, The Songs, and the merch. The fandom with ships and other discusting things its the problem.

It’s painful, I don’t pay attention to the Fnaf community anymore but I can tell there’s just as much pain in the community then any other community, it’s upsetting how quickly we all grew up and grew apart eventually.
It’s honestly sad. I have been a fan of fnaf since the fourth game and left the fandom for a little bit because security breach. I only came back because of the fanverse and the vhs tapes because that’s what fnaf is to me.
This 100% summarizes the whole community and literal drama, love it
I miss fnaf a lot, I've been a fan since it first got released
Eventually, there comes a time where you learn how to ignore a community completely, and simply enjoy something for what it is, by yourself and with some friends.
@𝙰𝚛𝚒𝚏𝚞𝚖𝚒 Maybe you should get less annoying friends
That's was for me when i learned a bit to let go fnaf, i needed it.
Despite the Gregory funky ahh model this song is actually a banger
Yk before the scott stuff the fnaf fanbase was drama free for the most part
It seems after the scott drama people just didn't care and decided to go ham
Almost like Scott was the glue keeping the fanbase from realising that its a fanbase so they must ruin it
Still wish the Dream Theory was the one we'd stopped at and to be the actual correct guess, but because of the community's backlash and greed for more we've arrived at this point.
"Leave the demon to his demons. Rest your own soul. There is nothing else." always stuck to me as a message that supported it and also would help the fandom to move on..
This
I dont think Scott's original "It was all a dream" thing was a good call. I for one think that Pizzeria Simulator is the definitive ending. The series is a *game* series, it *can* have a little paranormal, so the concept of child souls *actually inhabitating and possesing* animatronic characters (or suits, or corpses in suits) is not far fetched, and is actually more in-like with what the main Fnaf genre should be, that being horror. More in-line with Horror than sentient friendly AI in super-complex sci-fi robots is significantly less horror-y than the constantly tormented souls of literal murdered children looking for revenge, eventually letting go, all except for the One He Should Not Have Killed. And Ultimate Custom Night being the bonus probably-not-canon "Prologue" game about William going into his own personal hell controlled by the soul inside Golden Freddy is cool.
@@thejunktownsheriffkilliand4800 *Epilogue
I still wish that the FNAF 6 is the definitive ending and the news games are a matrix failure.
What if FNaF games 1-6 or 1-UCN are the only canon ones and then the rest are just an alternate universe?
Honestly, this hurts me so much. In my life, I always felt so alone because I have a communication problem and not like other kids that are strong in their own way and up until now. Recently, I have been feeling super down, and honestly FNAF and other games I have been in has kinda helped me with my life a little, kinda like my safe space. I felt so happy, it gave me some positivity. But of course the term "every fandom is toxic" will never be avoided and honestly the safe space I once had vanished. Right now, I haven't been feeling okay lately and I don't know where to go....😔 (Sorry if my explaining is bad, I just wanted to get this out of my chest because of how much pain I have been feeling.)
Well I hope in time you’ll be able to find some positivity again. Also just checked out your channel and I had fun watching your videos.

As a old animator i'm here since a long time and the only good thing happen in this community is- Nothing actually.
That's why I half stoped making animation/Short/Collab parts/Collab This community create drama for nothing, literally you need to s*** people to have a bit of luck and if your new you can learn everything and be good in less than 5 weeks if you know the good person. and another thing is EVERY FNAF SONG SINCE NOW IS THE F** SAME literally nothing change and you see the same singer in the song "CG5, DAGames, etc.." Same for the "official animation" always "Coda, or others famous name" I understand you want some good animations but I mean try to be original a bit.
Also this is Razar (RazarTonic) idk if you know me lol I kinda stop using this name for my channel and also stop interracting with the Fnaf community.
True. But I just wanna say, that "we are waiting for you every night" hit hard.
Made my own video on This Comes From Inside and this was undoubtedly the most important section for pinning down the message The Living Tombstone was trying to convey about the FNaF community.
i saw that video! it was very good :D
i dont understand people who say that "insert here name of absolutely any fandom" fandom is "toxic"
just ignore the freaks and enjoy the good part of community, what's wrong?
For real tho, I've always been confused by this...
I think this could be symbolism on how Scott got carried away with the series. He wanted to please everyone, but he started regretting what he let it become, with all the pressure mounting on him to make the next big thing, along with some controversy sprinkled in.
i think he didn't expect that this game was going to explode like this.😐

0:35 this part makes me upset the most because I hear it as "Your losing us" "It's time to give up" "stop trying to save this community" and then I remember the beginning the first game where it all started especially with the nostalgia playing it really gets me going The FNAF community/Fandom
has really took a turn for the worst.. especially with the games coming to an end I don't want it to end though but of course nothing goes on forever FNAF has been there for me through dark times like..right now I grew out of my phase/quit the fandom a while ago then I came back..that is when everything went to shit Scott was getting ddosed alot was just going on and then security breach was coming out and stuff then the man himself retired... Many people will say "it's a game it's not that deep" but when the thing you know and love that has helped you through times is starting to- you know📉 it's hard to watch you could only remember the good things But there is nothing we can do the community will be like this until the game finally/eventually dies completely But FNAF will always be there for us.
this also sums up literally the problem with the fnf community
This is actually ironizing how the community is harsh on Scott.
Harsh and ungrateful for everything he did for the fnaf community
Being blinded by stardom…
Wow. These lyrics show so so many true sides of all Fnaf, but what I find impressive too is that their singing sounds so nice and „educating“ yet cautious somehow…
I remember in 2017 when I first discovered FNAF. Everything was beautiful, there was no controversy, people made their own FNAF ocs and fan games, everyone was just being passionate fans and bonding over the game they loved. But once Scott left, it's like the entire fandom collapsed into something not worth being in. Like fiery flames engulfing a childhood place. people were leaving left and right because they couldn't take it anymore or they didn't find a reason to be in it anymore. I grew out of the fandom since it doesn't interest me anymore, and what I used to love is now a shell of the past. Funko keeps making cheap figures and plushies to sell to clueless people. Steel wool failed on security breach and the only good thing that came out of it were the characters' designs. this fandom can't be fixed.
Near the OG status mate, I've been a fan of the the game since Oct 2014. But congrats on surviving this far.
👍
Agreed,I used to enjoy it close to when Fnaf 2 was being released I still do but this new community is why I don’t stick around as much
I was a fan since 2016.. The good times, when i actually had motivation to make a FNaF fan games..
I believe this about the old days. Early 2010s where sfm vids were made about the story, parodies, songs, etc. Now to see a franchise fall and people loose interest. The toxicity of people and their viewpoints and making up bewildering accusations for their narratives. As it said, “everything is a problem” Just because we want nostalgia and relive our old days. And the song depicts that in a way that begs to have that. Showing that even the ones that entertained us way back understand the idea of our memories with them.
This song's vibe in geenral to me feels like an old fnaf fan coming back to their childhood nostalgia and seeing how the fandom they once loved has completely degraded to constant controversies, drama, and how the parts of lore they loved (the focus on grief and anger of the dead, the souls of the dead kids, the urban legend-y feel of it, the feeling that this could've been a real story people told about a pizzeria chain, the lore digging was for fun and the methods actually made sense and didn't span multiple medias of overconvoluted mess) has been abandoned for the (overconvoluted, messy) story of one killer and his son in what is bordering on a fantasy world at this point (look at the books if you don't understand what i mean by fantasy world, it is just, so far from what the old fnaf lore was it's almost not the same franchise) and it kind of makes me sad, because that person is me.
I’m not a theorist or anything, but I kinda do wonder why the animatronics don’t have any eyes in the beginning. And once we hear you know, that iconic FNaF line from the very first song “waiting for you every night” they appear to have eyes and more emotion. I don’t know, just kinda saw that. Very sad to see the state of this game now, wish I could go back.
I just assumed it was because of the dead children from the fnaf3 mini-game where they get the cake and turn into balloons.
0:17 this goes to all those people who made fnaf family friendly and making it for kids,like those fnaf Minecraft shorts. people are thinking fnaf is for kids thanks to them
True
The merchandise companies aren’t making it better either. It’s hard trying to find FNaF clothes that aren’t kid sized at Walmart or Target.
Ah yes, because off screen child murder is family friendly
Poppy Playtime and Kane Pixel's Backrooms too, both got fucking ruined by its toddler CZcams kids channels
Edward Lim One of the youtubers who is working on Poppy playtime does Minecraft animations in which fnaf and other games are in
This song with that voice is a banger and reminds me of the first original fnaf fan song
You know the one
Living tombstone
If there is a full cover of this please do let me know
I understand what this is conveying to a degree
Even in the modern fnaf I still love it to death but just like any franchise has it problems
But I too miss the old days where there wasn't any drama except people arguing that the phone guy was the purple guy
Or willtrap vs miketrap
But everything just gets ruined in the modern day do to politics, identities, and sexualities
You cannot disagree with one or you are evil
It's funny
Scott donated not because he hated LGBT but because he thought we needed a stronger military force to protect us from invaders but instead of seeing that as
"He wants the U.S to be strong so we can keep having these freedoms of being gay and such"
They saw it as
"Well he is donating for that racist, bigot!
He hates us!" And would prefer him to donate too a bunch of lying hypocrites who don't even care but say they are for the LGBT who would sooner let us all be enslaved and destroy all of our freedom including LGBT rights and leave us 300 years back in history
It's all these people care about anymore!
Poor Scott was trying to be helpful but his kindness was seen as a threat and like a bunch of snakes they turned on him and drove out the hero of millions of kids who grew up with a beautifully made game series
This wouldn't have been so horrible back in the early 2000s this is the world we live in now
One where there can be no fun unless it is politically correct
I just miss when there was little drama
As a secret message that may not be intended I could also see Gregory being targeted by the og animatronics as the og fans blaming it on steel wool and security breach rather then the fandom itself which alot of fans seem to do but
It's not Scotts fault, it's not steel wools fault
The reason why the community is toxic is the community blaming and turning on each other like snakes
And poor little Gregory is there punching bag to blame it on
Remember the old days of Markiplier playing the games
And five nights at candy's
And aeily artist, and Bonnie bunny/Purple Guy/Gold box, and MineCraftGamwer is animations
The good old times
Yellow Bear!
Golden freddy was the murder suit!
The first time we saw golden freddy fixed and Springtrap performing on stage in the mini games
The emotions when Fnaf 3 ended and you knew it was the end
Or fnaf 4 the box the emotional song that played when the crying child flatlined
Or fnaf 6 finally ending it for good
UCN the love letter to fnaf and a final goodbye
Remember when Vr came out it was so cool
I miss the old days and I constantly try to reminisce in them
Edit: if this came out wrong I'm not referring to the LGBT community as a whole as bad people I'm just venting about the select few that you see all over the internet giving the LGBT a bad reputation screaming and making a fuss and hurting people
Just wanted to clarify that
"Gregory being targeted by the og animatronics as the og fans blaming it on steel wool and security breach rather then the fandom itself"
I guess it's a mix of both. I wish people had not pressured for the game to come out, and I wish Steel Wool and Scott hadn't released the game in a broken state. The game had so much interesting ideas cut to appear more child friendly, the horror factor was not as significant, and the story was a mess. I can see why people were divided on the game, but I do wish that ogs and newer fans could get along.
I do miss when things were not so complicated.
@@yeetneat yes and also another fact supposedly was Sony was being a dick about it and was telling them they needed to release it
@@yeetneat Sony gave them a date before Christmas because Sony only cared about sales and everyone ran Steel Wool into an over ambitious corner and basically the Dawko interview with them kinda sums it up tbh
@@sirfazbear4993 I mean, that makes sense if so! Still wish things had gone differently with Security Breach, but at least we have the DLC upcoming!
@@yeetneat There's no need to wish, the truth is that the devs were pressured and were too ambitious, Steel Wool are nice and wholesome people who learn from theirs mistakes, and yes *I still know what you mean* but all they need is time and patience and they can make amazing projects, they didn't tease us properly when it came to SB, and when they did we can see that majority of this stuff isn't in the game and when they teased us again, it was an over tease, since we didn't get most of that stuff, if you look at the last SB trailer, we actually get everything that happened, Matpat claims that after his two SB theories, the game got delayed twice so I'll just let that sink in
Not Just the community,
The way how everything about our childhood fell apart on CZcams and etc.
People, places, the things we had, The times we cannot get back and so much more.
The FNaF fandom is so toxic that they’ll yell at you for “misgendering” a character, mostly Mangle, Marionette, Funtime Foxy, and Golden Freddy.
As some whose favorite character is Mangle, I had a hard time talking about her because people would yell at me for whatever pronouns I used, and those people killed Scott’s “Mangle’s gender is yes” joke. I’ve almost always used she/her for Mangle because she just looks and sounds like a girl to me (That’s a bit close minded these days but I just kinda thought since Mangle was built in the 80’s for a family friendly establishment they probably didn’t make Mangle non-binary or anything like that since at the time it wasn’t that accepted). I don’t understand why people would fight me over a fictional character’s gender. I don’t think it matters tbh and it really shouldn’t matter.
I kinda get what u mean with how security breach has brought in some of the tik tok users so some of the fandom is more cringe now but I've liked this game for ages and never had an interaction like that, nor know anyone who's had an interaction like that. U might be talking to the wrong ppl bro
@@joejamesg13 If you want to see Mangle gender wars, look in the comments for The Mangle Song by Groundbreaking
mate thats been happening since fnaf 2 came out
@@bonnieelectric Yeah. Idk what’s wrong with people.
Wait, people are genuinely arguing about that? I thought it was a joke.
It really does. Despite not being with this series since the start I still see the contrast between the community before and after SB. The "you've been blinded by stardom " and "you're losing it all" lines match this perfectly, as this fanbase is losing the prestige it once had over the false stardom of controversy.
Honestly I've never seen the community discussed with prestige before, was basically always the butt of jokes from almost the start. The community hasn't even been treated with respect by people outside of it before things blew up.
When golden Freddy says “this is your fault” I think he’s referring to how fnaf has just turned into an endless process of milking the games for money, like fnaf ar.
"every fandom has toxicity" Yeah, they do, but the proportions of the positive and negative parts vary wildly, and Fnaf's community is absolutely atrocious, you cant compare it to every other community
Remember how the FNaF Community was back then, all it took was it all to fall down to madness once Scott got cancelled.
Undertale can relate, i lost my innocence when i found out undertale and i was 8 yrs old on that time
Hah. It seems you havent seen the historical fandoms yet; mostly Hetalia, Countryhumans, and Hamilton.
No one has it worse than shipping Nazis and a truck load of Sweet Home Alabama :D
@@TrademarkedIPAdress War history fans in general. Worst have to be the gun nerds, though.
**Cof cof** Furry community **cof cof**
I haven't kept up with the community in awhile, only sticking too myself and few select friends about it.
But in the scene where Chica seems too be confused by the amount of animatronics, it could be seen as a symbol: She's been pushed further from her original idea/character, and in times left out of the game. Representing how far and how much has changed since the beginning.
I've seen the full video and it has so much nostalgia
"Everything is a problem" sums up the community, dream theory was where it all was supposed to be end but everyone wanted more and more from the story and it just got more and more tangled
People: we respect each others opinions!
Also people: **cancels Scott because he has a different political opinion**
The og fnaf fandom: 0:17
true
Exactly
this could actually be seen as the ogs looking down at Gregory, aka the new fans
It is depressing that people nowadays get easily triggered by one’s opinion on politics and go even far to Dox them.. worse yet threaten them to kill them and their love ones. It is sick and twisted to think about….
I can understand Scott with the whole being cancelled/threatened with death threats online just because you have different political views/opinions thing because i TOO was cancelled and threatened all because I wasn't a liberal🤷♀️
How my Teacher describes life after school: 0:21
To be fair it is if you choose decisions that can fuck up your life
The you think your alone but we’re waiting for you every night hurt my heart bro
I remember when the main controversy in the FNAF community was about FNAF world back in 2016...
Simple problems for simple people, oh how i miss those days...
I feel like every community has something wrong, and the worst people IN that community are sometimes there people who try to STOP the bad stuff! Trying to stop it can make it more public, reach more people, make that bad thing bigger and make other people make other videos that ALSO make similar videos, growing the problem. This video isn’t one of those (thankfully) but we have to realize that we have to embrace the bad stuff, because if we don’t, it’s just going to grow and make the community crumble.
This part of the song is about Scott giving up the artistic integrity of Fnaf for profit
I think the animatronics Stands for the toxic fnaf Fans and Gregory Stands for Scott and the normal Fans
I think part of the problem was the fact that everyone wanted to feel "that way" again about fnaf. We were all charmed and terrified by fnaf when we were young and loved coming up with theories and things over it. Now that we're older and have learned the story (the general idea at least), all of us are nostalgic for the way things were then and want to go back to it in the form of a new game and extended story. I admit Scott's gotten a little carried away, but let's be honest. None of us are scared of fnaf anymore and we're just holding onto the past. It's a lose-lose situation either way.
I shed a single tear, just 1. Literally 1.
I love that I got recommended this cause I left the Fnaf community for a bit then turn around for some nostalgia ig and it's just burning itself to the ground.
FNAF first came out 2 years after my best friends and i graduated high school together and it even had us talking and watching theory videos together!
A charming and dark childrens story told through hidden easter eggs in a game was so addicting to solve together with other people.
But once the truth came out that there was no coherent story planned and that Scott was just rolling with it for the fun of it, the magic was gone but i gained a new appreciation for it because i thought it was pretty funny.
It's not about the destination, it's about the journey!
It pains me to know that the community that once brought us all together, allowed us to laugh, cry, sing, and theorize together, is now just a community that tears us all apart and drives nothing but hatred. Yes in the old days of the community there were still some issues, but love overpowered the hate. Good hit harder than the bad. Because we were all in unity. We were stronger together which is what made it great, what made us family
“ now this is your fault” I kind of think that’s towards the people who freaking canceled Scott… “ everything is a problem” because it’s their fault that Scott left.. because people can be so freaking stupid over Scott just donating some money.. it didn’t even hurt them he just donated money..
And even if it did for the reasons why, he honestly made up for it by donating MORE than he did for those candidates to those minorities.
@@irkenpony17 I don’t..understand really where you’re coming from
@@BlueFoxy87 I'm saying that he had donated more money to LGBTQ+ charities before, with more money than he did donating to the politics that were against it.
People on Twitter when they canceled Scott said one of the reasons they wanted him gone was because was it made him be labeled as homophobic.
I've seen people treat actual criminals nicer than how they treated Scott for donating some money. It's always ticked me off how after all the things Scott did, it's him spending a few bucks that brought it all down.
@@LITTLEOINK9000 what’s worse is that the speculation people made to hate him were all the wrong reasons for Scott donating to the politics chosen in the first place. Everyone saying he is or was a trump follower (in a negative way) and calling him homophobic, doxxing him and wanting him away from FNAF or just outright leaving and hating on it. They made a man look like the Devil because they rushed to conclusions over one look at a piece of information. Despite all the help he gave to gamers, fans, kids, minorities, future developers, and like it or not: babies born (pro life) military defenses, better financial handling. which were the reasons he donated to those politicians.
It wasn’t even something as seriously horrible like murders or SA.
I hate this day in age where it is the choice of “Far Left / Far Right, no compromise”. It only hurts people.
I can see how it is talking about the fandom the part with Freddy singing "a long time ago it was all for a show" can mean that at the start it was just a game with a story while the parts with bonnie chica and foxy are saying how we as a fandom try to reason different theories and headcanons for why something happened that's what "and your reason to justify, scars you can't quantify" refers to the part where it says its our fault litteraly blames us and how we make thing difficult and a problem the poison is probably the despair that people feel in the community always being there and the part after that refers to how someone can loose things because they get blinded by stardom and they think they are alone at the top but there are always people there waiting for either a new video or theory and the "your mine" part is probably about how once you enter that part of the fandom you can't get out
i find this song ironic due to how well this part of the song represents the fnaf community perfectly
I don't know how that feels because I'm not a follower.. do I like FNAF:yes, but I don't like the people that go deep into it, or that take things to serious, and sometimes you have to grow up, if you keep liking the same thing over and over your not gonna get anywhere, now if your like me.. where I think it's just a game, a game you play as a kid. If your over 25 and still playing this game that just tells you how much of a person you are, a person who doesn't move on or try different things then just 1. What do I know?
@budak ajaib Yup I like it to, and it gives us viewers something else to try other then the same thing.
Let’s be honest, a lot could have been avoided if Cawthon just ended it at pizza sun/ucm
You mean UCN, and lore wise the series didn't end because Henry is a fucking clown who drawn out a flawed plan, and Scott made the SB teaser in 2020 because he wanted more from this series, like how he wasn't satisfied with Fnaf 3, and it's are faults that we act like this, ending the game's wouldn't really do much if we're being honest bro
Or if security breach was actually *good.*
@@mr.bomzalo9563 I think they meant drama
This makes this songs even better

your a kid in the fnaf community whos only 5 and starts drama for no fucking reason.
or a twitter user who has a life so useless that deciced to search stuff of scott and just because he gave money to republic candidates and because his brain has less than 10 braincells he could only think ¨AIN'T NO WAY SCOTT IS HOMPHOBIC, I HAVE TO CANCEL DOXX HIM AND LITERALLY TREATHEN HIS WHOLE FAMILY AND HIS PREGNANT WIFE¨
Fr
As someone who’s seen this happen I can confirm that multiple animatronics surround said 5 year old and sing to them
Honestly I love the fnaf community its got some really talented and just all around lovely people. However there is an alarming amount of people who are either people who will take things way too far and threaten people insult people and ship the animatronics (they are possessed by kids ffs.)etc. I grew up with this community and I just want to see it get along better.
I actually got chills when I realised this verse is a message to the fnaf community
this scene of the song disrecpets security breach so much that the old fnaf is better and i love it
ok but how
Is it supposed to represent a critique of the fandom's response to Security Breach? Or a critique of Security Breach and the FNaF brand? Is it aimed at Scott, Steel Wool, or the players? I might be stupid but I don't really get what these lyrics are in reference to, I think ''Time To Move On'' probably did the same thing but better.....
its aimed at the player's
its about the community,
the community from a happy place to a controversial argument hellhole
@@krio1267 can't say it any better
To the fandom, due to their endless amount of drama and pettiness that happened on the last years, which eventually helped to drew fnaf to it's current state.
It was a part of them that made scott's retirement happen more faster.
A part of them rushed steel wool for security breach, and the game came out buggy and with a different story (part of the fault goes to a....certain.....developer from the fanverse experience.)
These behaviours aren't new mind you. They're as old as 2017.
@@x-nimator9997 Yep, That's True.
This is actually accurate 😂
a lot of people say scott is making these games for money, but at this point i think he is just doing it for fun, seeing how people love to interact with his games and seeing all the positive things about it, its his hobby, he makes games for his family and everyone apart of the fnaf community.
Can’t wait for the movie! Hope blumhouse does it good
This song doesn't talk about the controversies
You could literally take the lines from any TLT fnaf song and use it the same way.
It's just a very subjective talking about the lore, that's why their songs are so good. They aren't completely literal.
But shoving them that context is exactly what Scott said we shouldn't do.
"sometimes a story is just a story"
I dont see how "youve been blinded by stardom" is related to fnaf lore though. Honestly, i think its a clear statement on the current virality and state of the franchise. TLT wasnt even going to make another song but to me it seems he wanted to make another one to prove a point. To show how fargone it is you could say, but hey you could also very well be right
@@SuperBUPboi67 Yes but I don't see how it could be something related to the current state of the franchise. It could be related to William Afton, as the kids say that he locked them, and the "stardom" could have been Afton's chance to come back, or also the power of souls that he tried to hold. The way it's phrased it's obvious is an attacking statement, obviously not something TLT want's to say to the fans nor Scott.
like "your reason to justify scars you can't quantify"
or "despair is an eternal blight"
or "now this is your fault"
or all of the first verse that was talking from the glamrocks' point of view.
Another way to say it is just that the fandom will never grow up, anything that bothers them will be tossed out in the most toxic way possible and people will ride on that train until it ends and that's when they will jump train and ride another one in an endless toxic cycle
when that first game theory video for fnaf came out i was hooked and settled
i loved that explanation for the game and how grounded it was and it just made the game even more terrifying to play.
now it’s all pg13 and nothing about fnaf scares me anymore. the whole reason i got into fnaf was the horror of children getting stuffed in chuck e. cheese suits being put in a game was fun and scary. now it’s not fun or scary
I was so excited about TLT's new FNAF song, I didn't even think about the lyrics!
this gregory model looks SOOO much better than the original
Eh
Not at all
The original looks better
Are you sure about that
It was a commissioned model that Coda asked for and shared with the community (I believe) I like this Gregory model too due to how stylized it looks and fits in with the goofy animatronics. I never understood why they have to go for more realism with the original (facial wise)
As much as I love FNaF, I really can't get over the fact that other FNaF fans that like to ship or like to make non-canon AUs for videos even though some people find it bothering or disgusting. I was a bit disappointed when Security Breach came out cause I didn't understand who Gregory was or what was his point in the community until I started watching these theories like from Game Theory and stuff I- Sort of started to understand him? I mean, he still confuses me to this day but- Sometimes I feel like the community is falling apart because all of the little kids out there making stupid videos that entertain other little kids. It just- I don't know anymore...
Wait? What's wrong with au's? There are some pretty cool one's.
Tbh, yeah you're right- lol- 😅
I’ll be honest, some AUs are actually creative and cool, but the other ones… like the ones the 5 year old peanut butter babies make… those just ruin the fandom, and I’m a veteran who has been in the fandom since the first game. Being honest, I’m sad Security Breach exists, because the new “lore” just has no plot relevance and all the new people joining the fandom don’t know the point and they are just throwing the fandom into one big obese trash hole. I would literally watch that one Tony Crynight thing instead of watching the new junk now. :/
@@Bruhwatthe Lmao *junk* ok😭
I mean, greg is just a little kid. Nothing more. Perhaps he is a smart kid, or depending on theories a reincarnation of one of the dead kids, but overall he is just a kid
This really sums up half of the fandoms or communities.
the whole song describes the community well epecially: "you set fire to the kingdom"
I also think this applies to the fandom. The line "you've been blinded by stardom" can be given so many meanings, so I think it applies to fans too. So many fans just can't wait for the upcoming release of whatever FNAF has in store, and not in the good way. I just think the fandom has become impatient and volatile, pressing the very same devs and content creators to put out more content with an expected level of quality, instead of just giving things time.
In a way I can't blame them, since Scott himself sometimes broke his own deadlines, but I think some fans don't understand that with new releases, it's much less likely to happen. Idk, rant that I'm maybe basing off of nothing lol
“everything is a problem” i believe this part talks about how the fandom became toxic because Scott, who has a right to his opinion, held an opinion not everyone agreed with and people threw tantrums on twitter and the “Now this is your fault” is talking about how that made him retire early.
I get him honestly because i was also bullied for my political views online :(
this is the nostalgic part
This is an insanely good animation holy hell.
Let's be honest here:
Security Breach sucks, but the worst part of it all is that this garbage is the beginning of the downfall of the FNAF franchise.
Security Breach truly is the downfall
Every game franchise has its bad games. Just look at Sonic, a dozen bad games and look at it now, two hit movies and a very promising game coming out soon.
Think of this as Fnaf's puberty phase, it might get weird, but in the end it will be worth it.
@@RedN_Ready, OK, a lot of FNAF games with only 1 night instead of 5 nights? If so, the franchise better have ended in the 6th game.
@@BonecoMamado What I meant was SteelWool Would take Security Breach's criticism and use it to make better games in the future.
@@RedN_Ready, without Scott? I highly doubt it.
What if, and hear me out, we just didn't care and enjoyed the game with the goofy ahh animatronic bear for what it is, I mean just because it's being made with money in mind, as all major corporations do with gaming stuff at this point, doesn't mean the passion is entirely gone or that anyone who says literally anything has to be toxic or controversial. Sometimes we can just enjoy the thing for what it is and create stuff based on that thing out of passion, we don't have to get upset with the people behind this stuff over things like their political views and such because everyone has the right to an opinion, especially when they don't speak openly about said opinion, and they are not what defines the game. For once can the internet not be toxic and tear things apart because of something such as opinions, I mean imagine if someone did the exact same thing to you every time they didn't disagree with your opinions, after all there isn't one single thing in the world everyone can agree on so *someone* is bound to disagree with you regardless of what your stance is.
this is kinda why I’m in the bendy fandom now
I miss old fnaf..The first fnaf Video I watch was gamegrumps video..And then I watch zajcu videos about sfm animations..To this day..I still love fnaf..But let's face it..Every person has a darkside..That includes the developers and the community itself..The best thing we can do is just move on,Think of it as a thing that happens daily..The Negative side always get bigger..But also mentally unhealthy..We should also have some gratitude for once..This is already a main problem in most communities..There's always the toxic side of a fandom..It also doesn't solve the problem at all..But rather adapt to another stage..One last thing..Just do what you like,Do what you desire and stay motivated as a sharp knife
There really isn’t anything I could say that the other comments haven’t already, so I’ll just point out that the voice in this part is the same one as the FNAF 1 song, which I guess drives home everything about the good old days.
Every Fanbase will have a dark side and light side to them we just have ingore the toxic fans and talk to the normal and more respectful fans.
People just want to always resurface the bs, or start something new that's problematic
Even with Fnaf hiding in the background of most of the communities and not being the spotlight. It still has a tight grip and not every community could reach the same peak Fnaf had. I'm still cautiously waiting for the fan games to respark that love for fnaf that I had while also giving a new experience.
I was expecting the song to be about security breach and the more 'recent' games but its amazing to see the og's and how they interact with a new character (Gregory).
