This month is the 10 year anniversary of Five Nights at Freddy's. This was the series that got me posting online, this was my first real fandom. I religiously followed the series, consistently theorized, interacted with others, played the games, and hell, I was even seriously developing a fan game. And I was very much a fan right up until the incident. Where it was revealed that the creator is vocally pro-life and donated money to various terrible right-wing politicians. I don't think he ever apologized and he even said he would step back from the series, which was a complete and total lie it seems. This is one of the big moments where I think I gained severe trust issues and became paranoid that anyone I interact with or follow could secretly be a terrible person.
I still occasionally check to see what is going on, ever since Security Breach came out, I have completely lost the plot and I know next to nothing about the movie. It has completely passed me by, but I still feel some fondness for the series. There have been dozens of imitators but nothing that quite captures the same atmosphere and vibes of FNAF. Nothing else looks like it, and nothing else plays like it, and I have to commend it on those grounds, I am just not sure if I could ever fully go back.
