As many of you know, The Game Theorists’ latest video stated that you play as the victim of the Bite of ’87. Truthfully, it came off as quite arrogant, considering the amount of evidence that had (or, more importantly, had not) been cited, when MatPat claimed that Scott Cawthon just didn’t do enough research.

Game Theory’s most recent FNaF theory video was proven wrong by Scott Cawthon himself, through this comment:

Game Theory had bashed Scott for putting forth an impossible scenario, as a victim of frontal lobe damage would not be able to register the kind of fear and concentration that your character in-game displays, but as the community is starting to figure out: you may not be playing as the bite victim at all, but actually his older brother, guilt-ridden and traumatized by his own actions.

There are multiple aspects within the game that shed light on this concept and make it extremely plausible:

The room you play in is clearly different from the little boy’s room you see in the mini games. First of all, the in-game room opens up into two hallways, both of which are not shown in the mini games. The in-game room does not lead into the hallway with a grandfather clock. Additionally, most aspects of the two rooms don’t match: while the floors in one are checkered, one is plain. The selection of toys are different, as well as the arrangement of the furniture. We never got to see the in-game room in the mini games, and we don’t get to see the room to the left of the living room area.

As we know, the older brother feels remorse for his actions, as he apologizes to the victim of the Bite before he dies in the post-night 6 mini game.

In an Easter Egg throughout the game, you can see flowers, pills, and an IV bag. Your character’s older brother, upon looking at his own bed in his nightmares, sees iconic items commonly found at the side table of a hospital bed.

The older brother of the victim is plagued with guilt, and now sees the animatronics as terrifying, nightmarish versions of themselves. As a common tactic regarding blame and guilt, the brother may have made the animatronics out to be more ferocious, deadly, and malicious than they were to help cope with the fact that he and his friends were the whole cause of his younger brother’s death.

One of the biggest points is in the trailer: the phrase “what have you brought home?” Many speculated that at first this meant Plushtrap and the evil made it into your home. With the newly realized information presented to us, we can now shift the focus to the big brother’s mindset. He brought home his guilt and trauma. He brought home death. The guilt overcomes the big brother and it makes him hallucinate about the demons he made the animatronics out to be and they attack him in his head throughout the nights. But to him, they are far more real than hallucinations.

The line “What game do you think you are playing?” also seems to address the older brother, who, throughout the course of the mini games, seemed to always be playing a sick game of hide-and-seek. Everything to him had seemed like a game, up until his little brother had gone limp in the jaws of Fredbear.

This would also provide an explanation for the “Nightmare” animatronic we see. Nightmare is the embodiment of his fears and regret for causing The Bite and Fredbear was an iconic tool in what he and his friends did to his little brother. Fredbear appears before him, horrifying, transparent like a shadow with a prominent frontal lobe, relentlessly attacking him—just like the guilt he endures every night because of his actions.

– H & G

I’d also like to add on that you’re awoken by an alarm clock at the end of the night. If we were playing as the comatose child, then not only would an alarm clock fail to wake him up, but it’s not something that would be present in a hospital room in the first place.

“Shihoko Fujiwara runs Lighthouse, a nonprofit for exploited children. She told CNN she once worked on a case where a predator used a cartoon to convince a child that sex abuse was normal. “So the pedophiles might bring the animation and say ‘this is how you practice with adults,’” she said.

Child abuse in Japan

While no link has been made between anime, manga and child abuse, Japan is facing a “serious” child abuse problem, according to a White Paper issued by the National Police Agency in March.

The paper said the number of child abuse victims jumped 20% between 2011 and 2012, and the number of victims, arrests and cases are at their highest levels since they started compiling statistics in 1999.

At the same time, the number of cleared child pornography crime cases rose to 1,596, the highest ever recorded, the paper said. Most – 85% – were Internet-related. The figures inspired the U.S. State Department to label Japan as an “international hub” for producing and trafficking child pornography.

The U.S. report noted that no national law addresses the “unfettered availability of sexual explicit cartoons, comics and video games, some of which depicted scenes of violent sexual abuse and the rape of children.

It added: ‘While the NPA continued to maintain that no link was established between these animated images and child victimization, other experts suggested children are harmed by a culture that appears to accept child sexual abuse.”

#gee who woulda thought that depicting children in sexual situations would lead to it occurring more in real life

This needs to be fucking slam-dunked in the faces of every single abhorrent and disgusting pedophile and/or pedo-apologist that wants to cry and whine about how fictitious child pornography doesn’t contribute to nor perpetuate CSA just as real footage or photographs of children does; those disgusting clods who insist that fictitious depictions of children in sexual situations doesn’t somehow normalize the idea that sexualizing children is okay, and that it doesn’t ~actually~ harm anyone… as if this form of child pornography exists in a vacuum.

Lolicon and Shotacon are child pornography.  They hurt children in Japan, and most likely children in other various places world-wide where this type of child pornography spreads.  Why?  Because child pornography is child pornography, plain and simple, and every last bit of it is toxic and harmful… and this particular variety only makes it easier for pedophiles to victimize children due to its “appealing” style, so don’t you dare ever say that it’s somehow more acceptable for child pornography to exist and that it’s somehow not harmful - all because it’s DRAWN.
