well anybody with a business named
Freddy's needs to
beware at Freddy's pizzeria in Long
Branch the phone seems to never stop
ringing Scott I have your family's names
and I'm not afraid to do something bad
with them like give them to a hacker on
a hacking form on the Deep Web this
person was angry at Scott for making
fnap 3 and
four five nights at Freddy's arguably
one of the most popular video games of
all time with a Blockbuster movie Nine
beloved game installments the Five
Nights at Freddy's Community has only
grown throughout the years but that may
not necessarily be a good thing my name
is visual Venture and we'll be diving
deeper into the dark side of the FNAF
Community make sure to stay till the end
to find out about the most disturbing
parts of the fandom that you might not
even know existed stolen designs with
Five Nights at Freddy's AKA fnf having
such a large worldwide fandom many
people have taken this an opportunity to
make some cash but not in the most
ethical ways there are countless cases
of people using FNAF materials both
copyrighted and fanmade to make money
online theft has been a common problem
in the FNAF Community with so many fan
projects like fan arts and fan renders
being created on a daily basis many
artists tend to get their work stolen
and reused for commercial purposes
without their permission this is my most
stolen piece of artwork I have ever made
I don't know what is about it but but it
is literally everywhere I've had friends
that have seen it on Pinterest with no
credit I've seen it on Amazon I've seen
it on well alexpress artists constantly
have their work stolen and made into
merchandise which made thousands of
dollars but the artists themselves get
no credit and more importantly no money
from the profits all this unfortunately
is a common thing in most fandoms there
are plenty of artists that have to fight
tooth and nail to get their designs
removed from the shops of random sellers
this problem of unauthorized selling
isn't limited to third parties there
have been incidents where the
masterminds behind the actual FNAF
franchise themselves have used fan art
and renders without permission from the
original creators controversy arose when
the teaser images of the long- awaited
Five Nights at Freddy's VR game help
wanted were released back in 2019 in one
of the teasers there was a blue render
of Funtime foxy which at first glance
just looked like a new model but upon
further inspection fans started to
notice that this was not the case if we
transpose gab's foxy head onto the foxy
in the image it becomes extremely
apparent that at least some of this
Funtime foxy was copied from gabo the
majority of the foxy model was actually
a fan render that was made by an artist
in the community and that artist in
particular had not given the franchise
permission to use their work and was not
compensated for it either Scott cin the
creator of the FNAF franchise was quick
to apologize for this incident the
teaser was immediately taken down and a
statement was released EXP explaining
the situation in the statement Scott
said that this was an isolated incident
and that it wasn't done with bad
intentions he then praised the artists
in the community for their talent saying
that some fan models even look better
than the official ones and while the
statement was well received within the
community believing it was a genuine
mistake this isn't the first time
something like this has happened
Funko this isn't your original design
you stole this on August 25th 2018
YouTuber Andy metronic posted this video
titled Funko stole fan-made designs in
the video she reviewed a line of FNAF
inspired figures by Funko called the
arcade vinyl collection and for the
first half of the video things seem to
be going all right that is until she got
to the foxy figure in the collection I
knew I'd seen this somewhere before but
gosh this is really strange it's still a
cool figure but now we know it was
really made by a true fan a fan that was
kind of ripped off and this is just the
tip of the iceberg because some members
of the FNA fandom are more than capable
of inflicting harm the toxic culture
ever since the first five nights at
Freddy's release in 2014 the fan base
has been growing but the bigger the
community the more bad apples there are
and the FNAF Community soon earned
itself a negative reputation that it did
not want to have toxicity is a common
thing when it comes to large scale
online fandoms and for the FNAF
community that is no exception but while
many fandoms see seem to be wary and
even aggressive towards Outsiders the
FNA fandom is one of the rare few that
has just as much internal hostility as
they do external within the fnf world
fans get excited about different parts
of the story whether it's Games books or
shows but this means that everyone forms
different opinions but instead of
accepting different opinions many
members start conflict a particularly
vocal part of the community are the
theorists who come up with a wide range
of theories on the game various aspects
like the character lore or plot since
these are mostly theories they haven't
been confirmed by any official sources
making it all opinion-based whenever
theorists don't agree on a certain fan
Theory becomes a breeding ground for
intense hatred in the community fan Wars
have become a norm in the Phantom which
have escalated to not just arguments but
also more concerning things like threats
and even doxing this vocal minority of
the fandom has even taken their toxicity
outside of the community issuing threats
to people's families friends and
co-workers even the creator of the
franchise is not immune to this toxicity
Scott cin the creator of the fnf
franchise has dealt with his own fair
share of issues when it comes to the fan
particularly in regards to the safety
and privacy of him and his family Scott
I have your family's names and I'm not
afraid to do something bad with them
back in 2021 Scott cin stepped down from
his role as head of the fnf franchise
after a major controversy regarding
donations he made to certain Poli
politicians as a result many fnf fans
turned against him and he backed away
from the franchise completely however
instead of leaving it at that some
angered FN fans went as far as to try
and dox him by exposing his personal
information like his home address which
they found from the donation page and to
make things worse they even sent threats
to his pregnant wife who had no relation
to Scott's personal donations fans
should be allowed to speak their minds
about Scott's choices but escalating it
to the point of potential harm is too
much especially since Scott's family was
being dragged into it but on the other
side of the coin there were also diard
Scott fans that were also doxing others
in an attempt to defend them Vivien
madrano AKA viv's pot known best for
creating the Animated Series has been
Hotel took to Twitter to speak up about
Scott's controversy in her tweets she
talked about how she believed Scott
could have handled the situation better
but many Scott supporters were not fond
of this and thought that Vivien was
encouraging the public to continue
bashing on Scott so they decided to dox
her in retaliation but Scott cin isn't
the only one facing controversy it's
become a common pattern among official
FNAF staff members controversy from
within before we talk about the
controversial employees within the FNAF
Community I want to thank today's
incredible sponsor manscape so the
product I have for you guys today is the
handyman compact face shaver I'm going
to tell you guys a secret so I've never
used a normal razor before I've never
even bought shaving cream in my life two

from normal razors and electric shavers

better shave than electric ones until
today because a handyman gets you the
closest shave of any electric shaver

stubble then use the other side which is
a standard foil lever for a smooth
finish as a YouTuber I'm literally

ways to make things more convenient for
me the handyman cuts down a lot of time
because it's compact so I can take it

definitely going to use this thing for a
super long time when it comes to
controversial employees in the FNAF
franchise there's one particular name
that comes to mind for most fans and
that is Lady fizzy lady fizzy was a
popular FNAF fan artist turned into
official employee over time she created
many official artwork for the franchise
including cover art for FNAF books and
graphic novels as well as models for the
game outside of her art she's also well
known for writing fan fiction which
gained popularity in the FNAF Community
to many fans Lady fizzy was living the
life going from a fan to an actual
employee was a dream come true but for
lady fizzy it was more like a nightmare
her career was cut short when harmful
information from her past was revealed
to the public lady fizzy had a few
concerning interests which she openly
talked about one of which being that
she's a lolon which basically means that
she's fascinated with people that take
on the appearance of young girls this in
itself was disturbing to a lot of fnf
fans considering that a large portion of
the fandom were a younger demographic
but that wasn't all in her Fanfictions
people started finding creepy details
which included Kinks given to FNAF
characters that were severely frowned
upon and also young characters in
questionable settings ones that are so
bad that we can't even mention with all
this evidence pointing towards lady
fizzy being unfit for a role on the FNAF
team the community pushed for her to be
terminated from the company the hate for
FY got so strong and enough that around
early 2023 a hashtag was made and spread
around Twitter #f fir FY as an effort to
encourage Scott to fire her from the
series this movement ended up working
with Scott informing the public that
fizzy was removed shortly after this
hashtag went viral but she wasn't the
only questionable employee that Scott
ever hired pinky pills was also a fan
turned official artist and she also had
her own unsettling interests in her free
time pinky liked to draw intimate art
featuring FNAF characters but the
scenarios that she would draw them in
was enough to earn her disapproval from
the community and alongside that she was
also exposed for tracing her work
including the official art that she did
for the FNAF team and her traced artwork
ended up being used in actual fnf
materials pinky pills hasn't faced
nearly as much scrutiny as fizzy did for
actions but word is quickly spreading
about what she's done as of right now
though she supposedly still works for
the fnf franchise my friends we're just
scratching the surface of disgusting
people in the FNAF Community because
these disturbing individuals we're about
to talk about have masked their true
identities behind their fan games games
not meant for kids hello everybody my
name is Mark and welcome to the mega
episode of Five Nights at Freddy's fan
game when it comes to fan-made content
there are few communities that can
compare to Five Nights at Freddy's the
fan game culture is huge within the
fandom with some developers creating
games that are so good that they're
comparable to the original ones but
while there are undoubtedly gems in the
FNAF fan game genre there are also some
games that are not only poor in quality
but just straight up wrong Funtime at
homers is a fan game that mixes The
Simpsons and FNAF together but in the
trailer video for the game it was found
that the nword was plastered somewhere
in the video this of course caught the
attention of fans and the developer was
quickly called out another fan game
called five nights at the haunted house
also found themselves in cont
controversy but for a much worse reason
in the Five Nights at Freddy's games the
introduction scene is always a series of
newspaper headlines that relate to the
game but in this fan game the newspaper
headlines were not only morbid but also
real the headlines featured real missing
person's cases including two of whom
both sadly ended up passing away the
developer was immediately criticized for
being insensitive and using the pain of
real families as part of his game and
these fan games just get worse well fan
games are its own category in the FNAF
Community there's a subcategory of games
that's been growing in popularity NSFW
FNAF games in these games the
animatronics from the original series
are made to look more humanlike more
sensual this means giving them revealing
outfits or modifying their bodies to
exaggerate certain parts so they fit
with the adult theme more one of the
most popular FNAF fan games is called
five nights in anime these are games
that morph the animatronics to look more
like grown women putting them in skimpy
clothing and changing up their behavior
to be more intimate and in these games
instead of surviving the night like the
original games premise is these new
characters want to do other activities
with players during the night instead
what's concerning about this set spike
in inappropriate fan games is that a lot
of FNAF fans are relatively young and
they easily have access to these games
these risk gay character models have
made their way throughout every inch of
the internet through fan art that's
posted on social media Med videos that
are created using the models and even as
virtual avatars in games like VR chat in
VR chat avatars from five nights in
anime or fnia have taken over the game
becoming some of the most commonly used
avatars there's an entire market for
avatars like these and people pay real
money to buy them and since fnia is an
adult themed game many have used the
avatars for inappropriate reasons
implementing features like doing certain
actions there even exclusive V chat
events that are hosted that can only be
attended by FN avatars and as you likely
guessed they aren't safe for work either
since there's no age verification on the
game many of VR chat's players are
actually kids those with fnia avatars
commonly use VR chat as a way to meet
potential partners with nothing to go
off aside from a voice and no way to
verify anyone's age you can see how this
can be a scary situation but despite the
nature of these games there are many
fnia fans who love them one of the most
common topics they talk about on social
media is just how attracted they are to
some characters the rapid rise of these
types of fan games created a new
subculture within the fandom attracting
those who like the game's characters
just a little too much fan content can
be genuinely fantastic but it's nearly
impossible to ignore how awful the waste
can be I want Funtime Freddy to slap the
tip on the camera as a tree when people
think of the Five Nights at Freddy's
fandom many people associate it with an
appropriate content and that's because
while not every member of the community
is like this there's a fair amount of
fans that are drawn to the animatronics
in ways that they shouldn't be this
growing attraction to the animatronics
has created an influx of questionable
content to be made about the characters
and this sort of content isn't shared in
private it's widely available on YouTube
Twitter and Tik Tok and not to mention
it's easily found on Google so I've
already mentioned the implications that
this could have on children since they
stumble upon this stuff easily just
looking for FNAF content but there are
other red flags particularly when it
comes to the characters being featured
in this sort of content in the original
game the five main animatronics are
possessed by the spirits of five
children that have passed at the hands
of William afon with that in mind some
people have become Disturbed at the fact
that animatronics that are supposed to
represent five kids are being seen as
attractive and in Five Nights at
Freddy's security breach the main
protagonist is actually a young boyed
named Gregory Gregory is often depicted
in Gross scenarios for Content which is
a terrifying thought considering he is a
child and he's constantly being shipped
with animatronic characters or older
characters like Vanessa a character in
the series who also happens to be 23 and
this is just the beginning dormitabis is
an Infamous fnf fan game that gained
popularity not for its quality but for
its horrifying story dormitabis is a
disgusting vile game made by an Alle
that crashed on me over 10 times across
the course of my entire playthrough
created by the developer nii AKA
blackout 1912 dormitabis soon made its
rounds in the fnf community after many
content creators started calling the
game out for its creepy elements this is
in reference to one of the main
characters Garvey in one of the tape
recordings that you can find lying
around Garvey recalls a time in his life
where he did bad things particularly to
a young girl in the tape it's clear that
the Garvey character was not only
remorseful but also happy about it he
called it a fun time this was already
enough to disturb players but what made
things even worse was that this wasn't
just fiction the developer had created
this character based off of a real
person himself on November 12th of 2020
a YouTuber by the name of nocturnum
uploaded a video that exposed nii for
all of the questionable things he's done
this included showcasing his history of
blackmail and manipulation but that
wasn't all because nocturnum would go on
to talk about how he was added into a
mysterious group chat out of nowhere and
that's where he'd see nii's true colors
in the group chat nii was said to have
touchy interactions with other users
particularly ones that were much younger
than him but while nii's fantasies were
quickly condemned by the FNAF Community
developers like this are far from rare
similar to nii the developer jonochrome
was also exposed for similar reasons
jono Chrome was best known for the fan
games one night at flumpy and riddle
School school but after his messages got
leaked his reputation was destroyed in
the community he was allegedly said to
be in an inappropriate relationship with
someone named Emily this relationship
lasted for 5 years until Emily decided
to expose everything in 2021 Emily
statement came out at around the same
time that Joc Chrome was dropping the
fourth installment of his beloved fan
game series one night at flump so some
fans of the game didn't believe her
calling it convenient timing but another
fan game developer Kane Carter was able
to confirm that the allegations against
jono Chrome were true so jono chrome
spoke up John made his own statement on
Twitter once again confirming that the
allegations were true jono Chrome then
took next steps to try to fix his past
mistakes such as enrolling in therapy
some believed that this was a true
mistake and the jonochrome was capable
of change While others didn't in this
next chapter we'll see how some fans
blur the lines between make believe and
reality even connecting FNA to a real
crime taking theories to the extreme
theories are one of the biggest parts of
the Five Nights at Freddy's fandom with
so many games books and now a movie
there is a ton of lore that fans want to
build upon FNAF theorists are constantly
looking to expand upon each character's
lore backstory and overall plot of the
game but it's not always in a good way
because sometimes these theories get so
out of hand that it has realworld
consequences one of the most infamous
theories in the the FNAF Community
actually stems from a real life CME in
the FNAF games it's said that the
animatronics are possessed by the
spirits of children who have passed well
back in 1993 there was an incident that
occurred at a Chuck-E-Cheese in Aurora
Colorado 19-year-old Nathan Dunlap a
former employee stormed into the store
and caused havoc and in turn ended four
young children who were there at the
time this crime has a vague similarity
to the FNAF story line considering that
the children also were out of place with
animatronics but it didn't really become
a popular Theory until Matt pack covered
it on Game Theory since then it's
completely gotten out of hand it created
real world tensions between the FNAF
community and the Chuck-E-Cheese
franchise fans have used this Theory to
connect the business with the game which
Chuck-E-Cheese did not like things have
only gotten worse in recent months
following the release of the Five Nights
at Freddy's movie it's been said that
Chuck-E-Cheese hated being associated
with fnf and that they've got gotten to
the point of blocking people online who
compare them to Freddy's pizzeria
however during the FNAF movies promotion
period Chucky Cheese tried to take
advantage of this for their marketing
strategy they created ads and events
that were similar to FNAF lore in an
attempt to try and get more customers
while the movie was being hyped up this
was not received well by fnf fans as
tensions were already high between the
two communities and fans started to
retaliate and if we're talking about the
theories then it should be no surprise
that the most popular sub fandom of the
fnf community also has a theory of their
own the adult theory is a theory that
became popularized upon the release of
the fnf game sister location in this
game the setting has changed from the
usual pizzerias but rather it's now at a
place called Circus babies entertainment
and Rental the game comes with its own
set of new animatronics with a few
notable additions like circus baby and
balora for theorists new character c s
meant new theories but this time it was
going to take a much more wicked turn
Creator and developer Kane Carter
started the adult theory which claimed
that animatronics in Sister location at
fnf game were not like the usual ones in
the other fnf games and that they were
actually at Circus babies to provide a
different sort of entertainment one that
was meant for an adult audience with
Kane Carter being such a well-known name
in the FNAF Community many people have
supported this Theory pushing it to be
for real but that's problematic
considering many of fnf fans are young
and with all the recent releases it
seems like the franchise has been trying
to cater to younger audiences and of
course it's time to talk about the fans
who take things to the next level fans
with no limits the FNAF fandom is very
devoted to their game and the characters
within it sometimes to the point where
it's unhealthy and even dangerous the
most recent examples could be tied to
the release of the five nights at Fred
fr's movie with fnf having such a
passionate fan base this has made the
franchise's entrance into mainstream
media a lot more difficult the Die Hard
fans of the games have clashed more than
once with casual movie goers and there
have been multiple incidents of fnf fans
who have ruined film showings by
wreaking havoc it's it's been bad bro
it's been really bad I saw one video on
Twitter of a bunch of people ending up
fighting in a cinema because they had
different opinions on the film fans have
been filmed stealing Five Nights at
Freddy's themed cardboard cutouts
posters and other merchandise from movie
theaters there are even videos of fnf
fans running through entire Mall
screaming and shouting as they follow
someone who has stolen a piece of
merchandise from the theater the most
famous incidents date back to 2015 and
2016 when fnf fans overwhelmed local
pizzeria so badly with Spam calls
because of baseless theories in 2015 a
piece of source code of an fnf game was
released that had a phone number ins of
it which just so happened to also belong
to a pizzeria which was the setting of
The Game thinking this was some sort of
clue or leak of the next game countless
fans spam called the real Pizzeria
harassing its employees and causing
damage to the business it got so bad
that the Creator Scott Hawthorne had to
deliberately tell fans to stop doing
this in a formal statement but despite
his best attempts that didn't help at
all because a year later in 2016 this
same thing happened again when another
Pizzeria was as called about FN well
anybody with a business named Freddy's
needs to beware if your phone is already
not ringing off the hook it might start
soon and the only reason why the
pizzeria had just happened to be called
Freddy's and it wasn't even spelled the
same way as the game the most disturbing
incident is what happened during Matt
Pat's FNAF alternate reality game or ARG
hunt back in 2022 Matt Pat from Game
Theory made a video on his theory about
a Five Nights at Freddy's themed alter
reality game in the video Matt told his
audience about his theory that an FNAF
AR game was previously in the works but
scrapped before released so Matt
encouraged fnf fans to go out into the
real world to figure out if this AR game
was actually in development countless
fnf fans went looking for possible Clues
to try and see if Matt's theory was
actually real but instead of proving
that they just ended up overwhelming
several local businesses and
disrespecting workers at restaurants and
stores as they attempted to find answers
some people actually called the actual
places of businesses in the towns that
were referenced in the book according to
our subreddit one place of business
actually received enough annoying phone
calls that they actually had to shut off
their phone and it even escalated to a
point where some fans suggested digging
up an actual grave because they believed
that there could be Clues underneath it
it got so bad that Matt Pat had to call
the entire thing off begging FNAF fans
to stop just to be absolutely crystal
clear Beyond A Reasonable Doubt stop
please stop exploring the five NS at
Freddy's Community has shown us how a
video game can stir up strong emotions
both good and bad and some to the point
of causing real destruction my friends
