What was the motive of Purple Guy to kill the children?

[♡♥♡Wei♡♥♡]

this is a debate thread, post your theory of why Purple Guy woul'd kill the children to begin with.

He don't need no reason, he be PURPLE GUY!

I don't think the game has made this information clear yet. But we do know for certain what his killings caused, and that is that Freddy Fazbear's Pizza's reputation was utterly trashed until it was eventually run out of business.

There are many similarities between the Nathan Dunlap murders at a Chuck E. Cheese's in the 90's, to the point that we can think that this case may have inspired Scott to write the FNaF story. In that real life event, the murderer's motive was to get revenge for having been previously fired, so some speculate that if this case inspired FNaF, then Purple Man's motives would be similar.

It's all speculation of course, there isn't any true evidence in the game that supports that Purple Man is exacting revenge with the company.

But that's just a game theory!

No, and although i enjoyed that video because i love matpat's voice, i don't think it's correct. That may have been partial inspiration, but a murder nobody had heard of? I think the purple guy himself has his own agender and the murder just has an awful lot of similarities.

Think of this; child killing is a sensitive subject, and here Scott has based a franchise on it. To turn around and then say; 'oh it was actually a reference to a set of murders that happened a long time ago to adults, not children', cheapens the seriousness of the issue IN THE GAME - note i'm not sayin the real murders themselves were cheap, just that i wouldn't think someone would use children being led into the back room by a creepy looking man and then murdered to represent a disgruntled employee who got his revenge.

No, the answer is probably alot more simplar, realilistic and horrifying;
Purple guy is probably a predator.

Think about it. Watch the mini game where you see him walking towards that little kid. Watch how slow and menacing he's walking towards him. Note how all the little kids are probably very young, judging by size and the fact they were naive enough to follow a friendly character away from their parents without thought of harm.
When people murder children, they don't usually kill them for the pleasure of killing them.
Think of the toy's facial recognition and link to the police database, also. Scott is giving all the clues. They wouldn't be linked to a database full of petty criminals, not for a children's establishment. It would have all the faces of registered sex offenders. They're there to protect the children, not the crummy prize corner.
Purple guy had no doubt never been caught, or had never done anything quite like that before, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to get the job in the first place, because of strenuous checks they do in regards to working with kids. Even back in the 80s you were scrutinized, though it was only really in the 90s people actually began to realise paedofiles truly did exist.

I don't think he has a reason, or an identity, I think he's just a psychopath having fun.

Uhh, I don't know if I wasn't clear enough, but I don't believe that the Nathan Dunlap theory has enough factual evidence to be the truth. I suggested it may have inspired FnaF, but it seems that from the way you're respomding to me, as if you thought I considered it fact.

Anyhow, your post is actually somewhat insightful in that if Purple Man were an actual child molestor or predator, his face could possibly have been recognized by the toy animatronics

(That is, assuming the police have had a file on him, because as his crime has been masterfully done to the point that it led them to capture the wrong man, perhaps he has not ever been even aknowledged by police records, therefore the toy animatronics would not even identify, rendering this line of thinking useless)

There's also the fact that someone may have tampered with the AI of the toy models. If indeed PM had been filed by the authorities, and he were an employee or customer at the pizzeria, he would have had to disarm the toy models' criminal recognition or else his crime would be hampered. So that could explain the tampering with the facial recognition of the toy models. And to know that the toy models could recognize him, he would have had to have been an employee because such a feature would be kept discrete (Wouldn't want to alert any sex offenders).

I'm just thinking off the top of my head, I'd have to do some resesrch to actually take that anywhere, 'cause it has holes.
