Game Theory: Why You HATE My Theories (FNAF)

SUBSCRIBE to Game Theory!
www.youtube.com/@GameTheory/?...
Friends, today we need to talk about FNAF. I know that seems like the norm around here but today is a bit different. Things in the Five Nights at Freddy's community have been a bit hostile of late, it's hard to present an opinion, or a theory, without being attacked pretty heavily, and it's not just me thats feeling this. So let's talk about that because I think I know why this is happening.

What I love about this is how Matt's just been silently taking all the flak for so many years without caring, because he's an adult who's secure in himself and doesn't need random stranger's validation. But now that it's spreading to everyone else, NOW he decides to weigh in with a callout on the toxic side of the community. Idk, just something kinda wholesome about Dadpat suddenly taking action because this newer generation is being attacked. (but that's just a theory, etc., etc.)

The amount of both emotional and intellectual maturity that comes out of this man is off the charts, and the way he's able to present his case and his view of things is something I both see in myself and strive to be more like. Not to mention I love the goofiness at the end :P If it weren't for Matt, I never would have even given FNAF a second glance after the first game came out.

This is Mat's "You're not so different you and I" villain monolog and I love it.

[@franklinrapp6635]

I think the problem a lot of the FNAF community faces is that it isn't always about being right. Sure, you've got your fair share of theories and timeline answers wrong in the past, but you had a blast crafting those ideas and I had a blast watching them, discussing them, agreeing with them, and even disagreeing with them. Too many fans are too worried about what is 100% right in the canon which is so hard to pin down even for Scott. They need to take a step back and learn to just enjoy the process. Its the same reason why I love breakdown videos of comic book tv shows and movies, the theory crafting of what COULD happen or COULD'VE happened not what DID happen or WILL happen.

[@animeye]

I think it is also a sign of the FNAF community changing. The series has been moving out of "niche horror game" and into "mainstream media" -- with that comes an audience that wants to be told a clear story, instead of a "these are the pieces that are correct.... for now"

[@Shlappz]

I’d even say that he’s probably unknowingly written a significant portion of this franchise’s lore. The games are intentionally made vague, MatPat (and the rest of the community) make theories about them and then the developers pick which story they like best and use future installments to back it up.

Even the non well constructed theories aren’t useless, you can analyse them yourself and make reverse arguments or use some things you haven’t considered before to keep on building. Hopefully we can theorise respectfully and keep building together instead. It’s enjoyable to see views different from my own, I want that, it’s fuel to the flame.

[@pearlydot]

I love watching theories, not because they could turn out right or wrong. Yeah, the feeling of satisfaction is nice and everything but I think seeing people's points of view and learning things that I didn't before and that is the best part. I could read the same series 20 times from different perspectives and still be happy because I saw something new, something I didn't notice before. That is why this fandom has been such a great place for me since I was younger, back before I even started watching theories and getting into the lore, watching different KZbinrs play the same game and still each get different easter eggs was wonderful for me. And then story-wise seeing different stories from the same characters was also fascinating for me, Hearing the theories, how the theorist got said theory, all that was my little safe haven. It's really upsetting to discover this part of the series but I hope theorists continue their wonderful work!

Not the FNAF community forgetting what "theory" means. Not the FNAF community forgetting that close to NOTHING in this franchice has been OFFICIALLY confirmed to be canon. The current story is 90% just t h e o r i e s that the fandom has somehow agreed to consider as close to canon as we'll get, just to get some solid ground to build on.

[@fr3dm3rc0ry4]

couldn't be more wrong. In fact, the current lore couldn't be more direct. This outdated mindset that FNAF is a cryptic and extremely complicated story to understand is plain wrong currently with what we have. And Matpat literally keeps bring up theories that most theorists can easily debunk or dismiss with official info from the games, or just point out straight up absurd reachings

[@zacharyfewins8087]

@@fr3dm3rc0ry4 The theories he creates are just that: Theories. His theories are much more far-reaching and attempt to explain many more things about the lore than is confirmed canon, or even widely agreed upon by the fans. Also no, if you just take the games and books, very little lore is directly explained. Its like darksouls where you have to actively and intensely look for lore to make sense of anything. Also, the plot threads are scattered absolutely everywhere and it's a known fact that Scott makes most of it up as he goes. I really let out a confused laugh when you said it couldn't be more direct. Fnaf lore is inherently not direct because like I said, you have to look absolutely everywhere to make sense of it. Go watch matpat's lore summary if you haven't. Even taking out the more controversial claims, when you really look where all the plot structure is coming from is a huge hodgepodge from all sorts of things across all the games and books. You're just weirdly wrong and I don't know what to make of it. Love ya bud, have a fine day

@@fr3dm3rc0ry4 it is very much a mystery my friend. See, if it were that easy, there would be no need for this video. In the words of this franchise: some things are best left forgotten. But this is not the case. FNAF will, and always, remain ambiguous. It’s easy to see things from just one perspective, like having an s mindset, but if you want multiple perspectives, like an n mindset, you need to learn how to interpret it in every way possible, not just take one glacé and say “I’m done for the day”. If any theorist deserves to get hate, it would be the ones who don’t take any consideration for this franchise whatsoever, and so far, not one theorist including matpat have shown this. How do you think they get so popular!? Because they are careful. If you were a theorist, I would probably laugh out loud at how you can just “solve” this franchise with just a few dialogue lines. At least grow up a bit, I can’t believe that you’re probably older than me and can still write this garbage.

matpat is probably the unofficial mascot of FNAF at this point . I've learned to trust his word not only because his large team and trustworthy reasarch that gave him reputetion ,but also because he keeps showing and explaining his evidance even when his fans could belive him without this whole reaserch . What make him special is the fact he chooses to do the reaserch anyway for the love of everything with lore in it , even if he will have a cult of blind followers he will still treat his viewers as smart and skepticals human beings that can't be bought with influence opinion that easily , he is here to explore and he is honest about it .

To be honest, I'm not even sure if Scott or Steel Wool even knows what's canon at this point, so to be honest, all goes when it comes to theories (especially if it has evidence). I've made my own timeline, and have just taken some theories that many others have proposed (MatPat included) along with my own theories and a few headcannons/charater studies. So, personally, I think we should just use these theories as starting points for our own so then we can come to the conclusion of what's canon ourselves.
