Why do so many parents misunderstand/hate FNAF?

[innate_butchery_aptitude]

It's almost like they just look for any reason to hate it. I just read some parent reviews from Common Sense Media and the complaints vary from "tricking kids into playing horror games" to "summons demons into your house." It's sad. Why don't they let kids enjoy what they want to enjoy?

This Tells Children and Teens That Kidnapping annd Murder are acceptable. What?!!!
Im a father and a brother of 4 precious girls in my life that I keep dear. The reasoning of why I joined in on this blog is to explain my concerns of this fandom and other associations of the concept. My concern is that this has become a psycological and viral threat to my two twin sister's, as well as my daughter in the future of this developement. My sister Hannah has an interest in the Friday Night At Freddy's fandom story-line as well as having a toy collection of this. As Her collection started with a toy she explained to me was of this ideaology of what seemed as a harmless kids thing that I had assumed was from a comic or movie. I realized further into my investigation that it was of a game or fandom concept. Noticing the vague and grotesque features of these collectable figurines, I realized that maybe there was more to this than what seemed a harmless play thing. I noticed the more figurines my sister was collecting, the more it seemed these; once thought up, "harmless toys". Were appearing to show features such as, blackened eye's, demonic appearences, and other disturbing features seemed to need a line drawn, based on her age and concerning mental status. I highly recommend not allowing any of your children or younger siblings under the age of 18 to keep away from this in all aspecs of the concept. Because of games, fandom, stories, books, video, etc. We are allowing the younger generation to accept this publicly as if the idea of it is just a thing we dont need to worry about influencing as a negative impact on them. Is it just me, or dont the reviews give you the idea of how bad this is? Understand this. It starts with us. It is up to us as adults, parents, teachers, coordinators and role models of every positive outlook to pay attention to these things that come out when they do and to take a stand. Blog about this to as many forums as you can. Tell as many supporters that are against these things to keep tryig to stop this madness. Consider the ages of most of the reviews that you deem acceptable when the acceptable age should be "none of the above" because this should be banned. I feel that I have done my duty as a role model, a father and a brother that my sisters understand this and will discontinue these things any further and positively be proactive in their daily lives as positive. I feel my daughter is safer knowing there are other people in the world that care about the negative impact of this dispute and that I am one of them. Thanks for reading! Jake T Gilbertson

I do see your point, but I am just telling you now that posting this here isn't going to change anyones minds. This site is full of younger ppl.

You do realize Ozzy is not the one who actually wrote the review, right? He probably just copied it from Common Sense Media or something.

Lol. Just realized this now. xD

I saw reviews for my favorite movie; Coraline on Common Sense Media, and read reviews about how parents were letting their 4 year olds watch the movie, which is based off of a Neil Gaiman book! Sure, the movie is somewhat freaky, but in what universe would a "good" parent allow a toddler watch a movie based off of a book by a horror author. Are they gonna let their toddler watch It as well?

another review also said that a "demonic game called undertale" was making their kid have nightmares. Here ill let you guys read them for yourself. https://www.commonsensemedia.org/app-reviews/five-nights-at-freddys/user-reviews/adult?page=1

it's most likely because it's a video game that's NOT meant for children

Same kind of parents to think DOOM causes school shootings. They're dumb

Yeah I agree lol, FNaF isn't real and it'sfor sure impossible for it to put dead bodies in kids rooms and make them worship Satan. Even if Scott Cawthon was 'cruel' enough to put that kind of message in there, FNaF is for sure not at all for young kids and it's packed with scary cryptic lore messages and child murder anyway, and players like MatPat would've found it already if it were a thing. Some wild parents I tell ya, if your kids are actually seeing and hearing that stuff they shouldn't waste time making a review on a cheap indie horror game that probably had nothing to do with it, definitely go get them some therapy XD


wait... people think undertale is demonic now lmao?

[Ryphon]

because scary equal bad in parents mind and trying new thing bad is also another thing they think

[ellie williams]

guys this isnt a "demonic game" and it doesn't freaking "summon demons into your house" if you want that to happen, it cant, but play fnaf 4 if u want demons in your freaking house. I've seen parents calling SANS UNDETALE A HORROR GAME LIKE WHAT XD sans isnt a horror game tho soooo- yeah whever enjoys fnaf should play it. I have anxiety but fine with the game becajse its what i E N J O Y.

[enthusiast]

. Yeah well, Just don't let 5 year olds play it, My 3 year old cousin likes it and the jumpscares and doesnt know how to play but likes it. Please stop.
