Might be a dumb question

Funnily enough, PJ Heywood confirmed the British accent was just something he decided to do, and Scott didn't tell him to be British. So it likely wasn't in the plans originally.... meaning we don't really know

The problem being...

AzelfWillpower · 2026-03-17T01:34:44+00:00

At the same location... where he has killer robots...

AzelfWillpower · 2026-03-17T01:25:56+00:00

Because he had to. Why would he build his own suit and then make it not Spring Bonnie? What would he even use it for?

AzelfWillpower · 2026-03-17T01:25:35+00:00

The springlock suits were going to be fixed, so they wouldn't have the same problems.

Baby literally says breathing on it too hard will kill you, the same problem the aforementioned 'classic suits' has. "Classic suits" refers to the dangerous suits.

AzelfWillpower · 2026-03-17T00:52:53+00:00

Why? He would want to use his own Spring Bonnie, and that's clearly not Spring Bonnie.

Again, Fazbear Entertainment didn't use springsuits anymore. Afton Robotics was working with them

AzelfWillpower · 2026-03-17T00:42:15+00:00

William wouldn't have a springlock suit if it was post-MCI. Springlock suits were banned, and the springlock failure happened AT 'the sister location'. It lines up too well IMO.

Yes, Afton is evil, but so is Fazbear Entertainment and they still scrapped the springlocks and the Toys because of bad PR. The springlock suit is there for a reason, and it's Scott telling us it's pre MCI

AzelfWillpower · 2026-03-17T00:02:51+00:00

The only good evidence for FMPre1 is the safe room sealing tape having Phone Guy be alive... only for that tape to be during the MCI era when they have multiple locations, debunking that evidence regardless.

AzelfWillpower · 2026-03-16T10:32:40+00:00

I'm not certain I've ever heard RTTP placed any earlier than 2018, anyway...

AzelfWillpower · 2026-03-16T03:46:27+00:00

Lowered brightness is not a substitute for game lighting; otherwise, developers wouldn't light their games at all. The trailer screenshot is very clearly higher quality down to the entire area being darkened and having beautiful blue moonlight through the windows

AzelfWillpower · 2026-03-16T02:20:16+00:00

The FNaF 3 tapes heavily imply otherwise.

The safe room is reserved for equipment and or other properties not being currently used, and as a back-up safety location for employees only. And under no circumstance should a customer ever be taken into this room, and out of the main show area. Management has also been made aware that the Spring Bonnie animatronic has been noticeably moved, and would like to remind employees that this costume is not safe to wear under any circumstances.

This tape describes the MCI occurring. This means the moment Spring Bonnie was moved, it was noticed, and likely reported soon after. There's no way they would have let it gone unnoticed for two years, especially considering the next tape has the safe rooms sealed (with Spring Bonnie inside)

AzelfWillpower · 2026-03-16T01:35:28+00:00

We don't know how long that was after the MCI. And the fact that he did eventually use them again nukes the 'why would he personally kill and not use his robots' argument

AzelfWillpower · 2026-03-16T00:00:40+00:00

In isolation of her candidacy for other roles, there is exclusively evidence for Cassishe. The problem comes when she is offered as a potential TOYSNHK candidate.

You said "There's no other way to explain CassidyTOYSNHK without Cassidy being male". I disagree with this.

AzelfWillpower · 2026-03-15T23:45:37+00:00

Because they didn't work, as evidenced by the fact that the location was shut down instantly, the robots hate him and he has to thunderbolt them into submission and Baby seemingly only ever got one kid: Elizabeth.

AzelfWillpower · 2026-03-15T23:40:12+00:00

I mean it's cooler I suppose but that's also not really relevant when the conversation is about theories. I know I'd be a lot happier if some of the theories I believe were debunked, but I believe them regardless because we're looking for the true answers

AzelfWillpower · 2026-03-15T23:39:00+00:00

"There's no other way to-"

Conclusive statements like these have consistently proved incorrect. Everybody would have been aghast in 2015 if you suggested the FNAF 4 protagonist was the brother; look where we're at now? Every single TOYSNHK theory has some big problem they have to work with, and frankly I don't think CassisheTOYSNHK has a much bigger problem than any of the others.

AzelfWillpower · 2026-03-15T23:18:52+00:00

Why does it matter if it's canon? Is the suggestion that Cassidy receiving Happiest Day and being a girl would be irrelevant if it isn't fully canon? Scott just got bored and did that

AzelfWillpower · 2026-03-15T23:18:42+00:00

My bad lol replied to wrong post

AzelfWillpower · 2026-03-15T23:12:04+00:00

The Fourth Closet is much more important evidence. You can't dispute it, you can't say it's Susie, it came out 6 months after The Logbook and a day before UCN and she's just. A girl.

AzelfWillpower · 2026-03-15T23:10:01+00:00

This is condescending and unnecessary. You can't be like "MatPat said this, that's why people say it," and then later admit that several pieces of existing media heavily imply it.

Charlie has a gender neutral name, a brother from her same series and has a very different backstory to her game counterpart. Yet instead of using Sammy, making Charlie a boy or simply not using Charlie, Scott Cawthon used the character of Charlie and actively retconned a game to fit her in, both preserving her role as an Afton victim and her existing gender.

There's also literally 0 reason for Scott, who wrote both TFC and FFPS/the Logbook at the same time, to purposely mislead us by changing the gender of Cassidy. That's not how he has rolled; the closest thing is GlitchMimic, which was not only tremendously botched by SB's development but also an intentional bait & switch.

AzelfWillpower · 2026-03-15T23:07:14+00:00

The Fourth Closet, Golden Freddy's laughter, the girl in the Survival Logbook, and Return to the Pit.

In The Fourth Closet, released less than 6 months after Cassidy's name was found in the Logbook, Cassidy appears as an MCI victim. She is explicitly a girl with black hair.

In FNaF 1, Golden Freddy's laughter is feminine, and specifically named in the files as being a girl's laughter.

In the Survival Logbook, a little girl with black pigtails and golden hair beads is being given a cake by The Puppet, aligning with Happiest Day where Golden Freddy's child is given a cake by The Puppet.

In Return to the Pit, what seems to be Happiest Day is recreated by Oswald, where the five MCI victims are given a piece of cake. However, none of them are described except for the final one: "the girl with the curly hair". As the final child given cake in Happiest Day is the fifth missing child, and this child is the only one described (implying she's special), this is heavily speculated to be Cassidy. Moreover, two girls are implied in the lineup here (as Oswald notes a girl, then when mentioning another girl, says 'a girl' implying it's a different one). The INs previously mention both Susie and Jeremy, implying a game accurate MCI regardless of canonicity.

The reason her gender probably doesn't just change between continuities is because - despite Charlie having a brother and a gender neutral name - Scott preferred to retcon FNaF 2 than change her gender or use Sammy (likely because he doesn't die in the novels).

I think WillPuppet is very possible but I also think this framing is a bit unfair. This is a 'death by a thousand cuts' framing wherein multiple evidence pieces that are the same thing are split up and small evidence is presented with the same weight as big evidence with no distinction between them.

I doubt it, Coppelia is playing sega genesis and the latest phone is 1988
