  • RUclips Kids is a topic many including myself have covered before. But something I've never seen brought up is how it can affect our perception of the series around us. Today I'll be venturing into the abyss and looking into What RUclips Kids did to Horror, or what it could do. Also happy (late) Halloween!

    What I hate in general about all of the mascot horror and vapid fandom stuff too is that it kinda unintentionally ruins my perception of the game. And I know that seemingly could be refuted with “just ignore that stuff and enjoy the game”, but it becomes REALLY hard to ignore it when the entire thing has been subsumed by that kind of crowd. (Though being real, now it seems like many games are being made specifically for that)

      Plus, whether chapter 3 is good or not won't change the fact Chapters 1 and 2 were the indie horror equivalent to oscar bait. It will be a success either way, because again, their audience is kids.

    Fnaf genuinely scared me as a kid because it felt relatively real. Yes, it had some supernatural twists to it, but a man using a place where familys hangout to lure children away and kill them felt like it could happen. The same serial killer dying in the same suit he lured innocent children to their deaths in, and then coming back as an amalgamation of rotting flesh and metal, forced to live an agonizingly painful life to repay for his sins, was such a terrifying yet captivating story.
    And then Sister Location and the books came out, and I lost all interest in the fnaf universe.

    Baldi’s Basics (a mockery of education and horror games, made to be intentionally not scary) and the recently releasing My Friendly Neighborhood (a mascot horror with a less fantasy-like horror angle, and with a more genuine, heartfelt story which uses the tropes better) come to mind first.

    Ah, Junji Ito, now that's a good horror pick.
    I always struggle to decide which one to use to introduce him to new people, it's too easy to scare them off completely, even with the more tame stuff such as Uzumaki (my own jumping on point).
    I tend more to Tomie, since it's also funny...ish... or, Remina. Pretty crazy, but short. It can hit people fully before they realize wth even happened.

    As a Early 90's Millennial who grew up on Hocus Pocus, Chucky's Child's Play, or ever the Aliens vs Predators Franchise as early as age 5, I feel bad for late Gen Z and Alpha, for their step into Horror. It just comes off as subpar in comparison to what me and my Family grew up on. And I don't believe that because of Nostalgia, that just how everything feels now.

      Sorry I took a while to respond​@@dysntgr8, but it's funny how you mentioned when you got your first device. Cause I never got my own PC or Mac until one of my Grandparents gave me their PowerBook G4 in 2013. And I never got my first Phone in General until 2016 with the Samsung Core Prime. Because of my instincts for these devices along with the use of Social Media is kinda Gen-X-ish as well, but at the same time I still think to myself if that too was for the best. That aside, I do sympathize with your backstory.

    @lordsauron8546 7 месяцев назад +5

    I've long been of the opinion that the thing that makes horror so great is it allows the audience to be exposed to harmful themes and emotions we otherwise wouldn't deal with in a safe manner; hence why the Silent Hill franchise is seen as a comfort game by many, for example. Being able to provide experiences like that is super valuable for not only telling engaging stories, but being able to help audiences better understand harmful emotions/themes (ie PTSD, stress, death, etc).
    The damage that mascot horror has done to horror games means game devs and storytellers are more incentivized by profit margins than trying to provide meaningful, or even just engaging experiences without much deeper meaning (ie Puppet Combo games). I think both PT and FNaF in their own ways contributed to the state that horror games are in, with devs taking the wrong lessons from them.

    • @dysntgr8
      @dysntgr8 7 месяцев назад +1

      I wouldn't blame it completely on the mascot horror games though. The genre is a brilliant idea on its own - taking normally harmless characters and giving them an eerie edge. The main issue is that since mascots are so easy to be portrayed in a child-friendly manner, it would obviously attract a larger child audience. And these children can't play the games because they'd shit themselves, so they never experience the actual horror, they only know the mascots through youtube videos etc.
      The bigger problem arises because devs have noticed this growth due to child audiences and are overusing this genre to make quick cash. They fail to realize that these mascot horror games will not last a month in the community and will be replaced almost immediately, however a truly spine tingling horror game will never be forgotten

Lots of 28 weeks/days later, dawn of the dead, that sort of thing. Moved on to foreign horror as soon as i learnt how on the internet. I love fnaf and what not but I could never get into the mascot/kid horror popular back then and now. I just grew up expecting and wanting something different in a horror experience. The closest thing i can think of is creepypastas lol. But i would more read those than watch videos about them.

    Y'know, I wouldn't be surprised if your inspiration for this editing style was EmpLemon. I can just feel the similar energy oozing from the way you present the topic.

    Hey so, I know you don’t like mascot horror, but look into My Freindly Neighborhood, it’s honestly the best recent mascot horror, where the gameplay and voice acting is really good, and the story is actually interesting. (Also it’s a whole game)

      The only thing wrong with it is it's not scary at all

      @@Baller_editz21 well when you're fighting against basically just insane sentient puppets AND you have the power to kill a lot of them, it's really just a comedic game now.

    Some thing to note is that in terms of (fan animations) Roblox piggy is actually doing pretty good because usually I see piggy animations made by fans for fans that are good quality far more often than in 2020 take for example: The piggy RP film series by Pghlfilms or the Roblox Piggy: Mansion Film. by SnookumS

    The terror of something horror related, and/or cartoony that you love getting popular, and you’re just waiting for its inevitable fall into the RUclips kids rabbit hole, and you won’t see any real discussion on it unless you’re incredibly lucky

    SFMs were goated by a lot more than these animations today

      Have you watched any of the Zelda SFMs like Racing for Rupees, or Link’s Health Trouble?

    I personally really love the characters and the world that MOB entertainment has built around the Poppy Playtime series and I also enjoy playing the games too! But i am pretty sure that my opinion would be a lot different if playthroughs and theory videos weren't the first impression, but instead it'd be whatever the heck the kids' content is. I am very sad that the characters got into that kind of content because now, no one really takes the franchise as anything else than a souless game for kids and I am often quite embarassed to tell other people how much I am into the games. I'm scared that they'll automatically think that this weird second coming of elsa gate is the content i'm into, and I must be a 6 year old kid without a life.
    The kids' content using these characters not only ruined the reputation of the game and its developers but also the reputation of anyone who really enjoys the original media, where the characters were brutally taken from.

      After seeing some recent images posted by them and looking at the remasters of chapters 1&2, I’d say they have beaten most of the “for kids” allegations.
