I have a lot of nostalgia for the series and I love it dearly but my god did the lore go to shit. The fact that every human is theorized to be a secret robot and a sizeable part of the fandom believes that, and have that not be the dumbest theory in the fandom, should say enough about how dumb the lore got. That's not even counting how many toddlers are in the fandom. It bothers me too because I can see the potential of the lore, especially in the early games (or maybe I just think that because I got into FNAF when I was a cringe ass baby). Also the fandom is filled with furries, which makes sense but still (not that I have anything against furries I'm just not into it).
At least the fan stuff is good so that's something.
I don't blame the actual lore of the games for that, i more blame Matpat and his shitty theories that make people think the lore is more complex than it is, he was the one that came up with the android theories because of reading the books that are mostly known to only contribute small lore tidbits to the games which are often not really impactful apart from character names and such. The normal lore i wouldn't say is that complex but rather long, idk how it got after Security Breach since i have yet to play it or see a playthrough of it but i can only say that they should have left the William Afton arc at UCN and make a new villain for the games instead of beating his dead corpse over and over. The lore is pretty good imo so i don't think you were a cringe baby. Also i feel like there are less toddlers in the fandom now since most of the toddlers were present in the early days of the fandom (2015-2016) and have grown up since then, i barely see any kids interested in Fnaf nowadays but i could be wrong. The furry part also doesn't bother me that much even if i dislike furries but it's ok, they aren't harming anyone there lol.
Also agreed, the fangames are pretty fucking banging
Yeah the base lore is mostly normal even if how we discovered it was convoluted. I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks the early lore is good. The lore after UCN took a u turn. Glitchtrap is cool but I'm so sick of pepaw, let him die already. I don't even know what's happening with SB. Unless they fix the lore I'm just gonna stick with the fan stuff.
Yup, base lore was already pretty good but they went and ruined it after SB, really hope they fix it like you said, i feel like there's a lot that could be done, like explore more about Golden Freddy or stuff, they seem to be very vengeful and i think it would be interesting to see them not disappearing yet because of all the hatred they have and not moving on, basically turning them into the antagonist of the next games. I haven't watched most of SB yet but i really do hope Glitchtrap isn't just William again but rather an AI, yes i know it's kind of ridiculous but considering the game takes place in a futuristic setting it wouldn't be that out of place, better than beating a dead horse.
