#I don’t put my dislikes of how people consume fn af in the main tag - or I try at least

[glitch-in-the-code]

I will say, as someone who's watched all of matpats channels since about 2013/14, I absolutely hate most of his FNAF theories since like FNAF 4 and the Gregory is a robot theory is my absolute least favorite. The thing that gets me is that he's said himself that he hates that theory but that it just lines up with the clues, but watching him play security breach and then the clues he uses after you can see his confirmation bias, exactly when it starts and how it keeps going. He has the power to analyze the clues for different theories but just followed his first hunch to avoid being wrong. At this point I mostly watch the FNAF theories to see what zany crap is going on with FNAF media I haven't consumed and just to laugh. At the end of the day it's a story that definitely wasn't fleshed out when the first game was released and no storyline will fit it perfectly so there's no point in attacking people who have different theories from the main ones and honestly, I love your timeline, it's much clearer and more concise than any others I've seen.

Thank you!!! I really appreciate the kind words, they mean a lot!!

I use to be a big Matpat fan, I won’t lie, back when fnaf first came out and was very popular, his fnaf 4 theories is what lost me, I hate dream theory and I agree, the ‘Gregory is a robot’ is one of the worst but I hate how he treats the books. Just because something happened in the books doesn’t mean it happens in the game! The books are a different timeline!!

I watched Markiplier play SB but even then, I don’t understand why the Gregory Robot theory came to be? All of the evidence I heard was just the Freddy line when he says ‘you’re hurt’ very vaguely but there’s an unused voiceline where he says blood, which debunks whatever ‘evidence’ was found??

But I agree, fnaf was not a story game when it first came out and that’s down a lot of damage to it in recent years, it was never suppose to get this big

The five nights fandom has changed a lot since 2014 but it also stayed the same in a lot of ways, I can browse the main tag without fear of finding N-SFW (I mean, sometimes you find a piece or two but it’s still way better than it was) but people are still was ruthless as they were about theories and timelines as they were back in the day. People are also just being sucky to others who’s joining because of SB, and while I understand their point of view, I’m glad more people are finding joy in the series I’ve been loving since 2014
