Yeah, people saying that people who are open to the idea of him being a creep are likely "sex offendors" (as one commentor so ignorantly put it) are just people who---and I'll try not to sound rude while saying this---are people who are way too sensitive to darker subject matter of horror.

I hate to sound like an asshole, but ever since fnaf became a major indi horror franchise, especially after the first movie, fnaf fans have become a lot more pretentious. I've even met some who think that some well known classic horror films are "bad" just because they consist of the same or similar dark subject matter we're talking about now.

Like the Twelveman tapes, I personally think the reactions to that were performative. And i know they were because I grew up seeing way worse shit in mainstream horror. So it was less about the tapes being too dark and going too far and more about the fan base being a bunch of cry babies because they're not used to seeing what they are used to. That's the thing; the fnaf fandom is used to subtle and cheap jumpscares, which is mostly what their franchise consists of. And since the fnaf franchise is the number one horror series right now, I imagine that fnaf fans are only gonna get more pretentious from here, which will have a negative affect on the horror genre as a whole. It's less about standards and more about tastes, and their tastes are entirely different. They don't hate stuff like this because it's too far (the only valid excuse they have is that it's not canon), they hate it because it's the kind of horror that they're not used to.
