I probably should have made this post a while ago, yet I didn't because I was hesitant. Long story short though, I'm pretty much going to avoid the fnaf fandom like the plague from here on out.

It has been repeated time and time again how absolutely unbearable the toxicity In this fandom has gotten, It's suffocating, yet heart breaking at the same time.

To see such a community take such a fucking nose dive and turn Into what It Is now Is quite jarring to put It lightly. And to make matters worse, It Isn't getting better. Most people who run big communities In the fandom can be distinguished Into three categories:

1. so egotistical that they see almost everyone as below them, chasing clout and putting their Image before anything.

All these people want to do Is get bigger and bigger, all the fame, and all the attention.

2. a complete asshole who gives little to no fucks about anyone around them, not considering how hurt the people they effect can feel. And

3. someone who takes little to nothing seriously, giving no real empathy, and seeing everyone as one big joke.

Now, I know I can't exactly categorize creators like this cause I don't even know any of them personally, so how can I make a judgement?

Well, I hate to judge a book by It's cover, but when you see this kind of behavior on repeat, trying to look at someone differently when they act like the rest Is hard. And In the end, why even bust your ass trying?

You aren't going to get anything out of It, you'll only just dive further Into the rabbit hole and drive yourself Insane. After all, why would you do It for people you won't even know personally.

All they are In the end are people behind a screen, and some of those people have the mentality that since they aren't doing what they're doing In real life, they can get away with anything. Twist the truth, manipulate people, get double standards, and refuse to take any accountability for their actions.

When you not only don't know who you're talking to behind a screen, but you also see them act like this, why even bother trying when you'll keep getting your trust broken? Why not make actual friends In the end, why not get a life outside of a computer screen, a question that I've asked myself over and over recently, and I got an answer.

I shouldn't waste my time In a place full of almost nothing but toxicity. If I continue to just stay here, where am I going to end up at adult hood? Just like plenty of other users who make their life an online one.

I want to spend more time with my family this summer, I've not given them the love they deserve, and they need It. I'm going to make a difference In my life for once and distance myself from a community that Isn't going to better my life, but rather, make It worse.

I will still continue to make my game, and advertise It In the community, even If I'm not going to be apart of It anymore. I love making games, and I want to make them cause I love It, not for clout, not for attention, just for me and people who want a good game.

I will also continue Interacting with my friends, however, my time online Is going to be limited now, by myself. Don't expect a lot of posts or replies to stuff anymore, I'm going to do my best to take a long break, and every once In a while check on things.

Outside of that though, I'm turning a new leaf, and while I've said that multiple times In the past, I mean It this time. And I won't just make a half assed promise, I'll prove It with actions rather than words.

Sorry If I'm going on a long spiel about something so simple, and I'm sorry If this comes across as a bit cringey, I just needed to get this out Is all.

That's all for now, I once again thank my supporters and friends for all they've done for me, you guys rock! I'll see y'all on the flipside, live the best life that you can, and take care.

Bye! 👋
