Why the fuck do kids like this thing so much? I asked my 4 year old cousin and she loves it and says it's not scary, she even watches videos on it.
It legit feels like something from a messed up kids show parody that kids love in that fiction world, to add to how creepy it all is. Except this shit really happened. Fact is stranger that fiction.
As an uncle to a preschooler niece, I say it's all TikTok's fault. The moment she sees something, she goes "I WANT DIS!!!" every single fucking time. Also, I don't know if it's just me who's been "unlucky", but does pic related only appeal to girls? Besides my niece, I've only seen little girls owning plushies of this thing, not a single boy.
Cooper Sanchez
Holy shit kids are absolute brainlets for liking that
Thomas Torres
what is that
Christopher Jones
I don't even know what this shit is
Jack Wilson
Kids, especially young girls will go with whatever trend seems popular because they havent yet grown out of their herd mentality. You can convince kids to like the most retarded things if you just tell them its cool and everyone else likes it. Try it out some time for luls.
Asher Martinez
I just can't get over that the kind of stuff people used to make to spook millennials are now the favorite toys of Gen Alpha / late zoomers.
Nathan Taylor
Same reason why they liked Chucky, I guess. New Indie horror game called Poppy's Playtime. It sucks.
Zachary Foster
>Why the fuck do kids like this thing so much? Are they actually playing the game or just watching youtube videos of it? If they're just watching videos it's because they have a layer of protection between them, it's like staring at a poisonous snake or spider through the glass of a zoo enclosure. Kids actually enjoy scary movies once you let them know they are incapable of being hurt by what's inside, it's effectively a free adrenaline rush.
Mason Edwards
How fo you raise a kid in this new internet focused world? How do you avoid tiktok or shitty youtube/twitch ecelebs from corrupting their brain?
Even not allowing them internet access or not giving them a phone would be enough. They'll go to school and their friends would show them the newest internet memes daily on their phones.
Would I have to homeschool them? Then they'd have no social life. Take them to a private school where cell phones are prohibited? What would be the solution to make sure you don't raise your kid in this garbage internet enviornment?
Kids are easily influenced, and need to be taught specifically to resist peer pressure and pressure from "grown ups" youtu.be/BNuuiydKlI0?t=67
Carson Torres
You can't go back. If they aren't exposed to the internet, they will be socially stunted. Best you can do is stop them from being able to upload anything, so they don't have childhood cringe immortalized.
William Stewart
stupid
Joshua Sullivan
Simple, Ban smartphones and 90% of the internet's problems would be solved
Nathan Wright
Just don't stick them in front of an iPad when they can't even walk yet and you're probably fine
Lincoln Fisher
>amusement parks are popular worldwide for their high speed and high spin rides that pump adrenaline >this is fine >game that plays on your fears for a quick scare to pump your adrenaline >this is bad
Jose Howard
what kind of retarded comparinson are you trying to make Faggot?
Evan Nelson
Kill yourself shill.
David Stewart
>oh nice, a popular horror game >it's a 15min demo wtf
>so they don't have childhood cringe immortalized. This matters less and less as time goes on. Sure, the internet never forgets, but it definitely has a short attention spam and stops caring pretty fast. Especially since everyone has all of their embarrassing moments similarly on display.
Christopher Johnson
>AAAAAAAAAAAAA HE POSTED SOME LITERAL WHO CHANNEL!!!!!!!!! E-CELEB E-CELEB E-CELEB HELP ME JANNIES AAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!
Ryder Reed
Well I mean I used to be obsessed with Gormitis when I was a kid
Joseph Collins
EZ Expose them to the good shit AND Homeschool them for a bit They won't bully them cause every kid is a complete retard or gaylord or both. Edgelords like Gary Oak don't exist anymore
Angel Allen
>Kids want to act grown up >It's grown up to like horror media >It's grown up to talk about things that happened before you were born >These types of games hit that balance of being based off of children's entertainment that was prominent in the 2000's (The absolute barest definition of nostalgia), while also being considered horror but not too scary for the kid to watch
Jason Jackson
Private school, no phones and most importantly.... GENUINELY CARE ABOUT YOUR KID/EDUCATE HIM/SPEND TIME WITH HIM YOU WORTHLESS FAGGOTS. Too many parents nowadays have kids just the same way they own a dog or a cat. My own father never gave a single fuck about me and now I cut all bridges. Fuck this npc.
Nathaniel Evans
Just give them rigorous internet safety lessons (without feeling intrusive).
Nathan Fisher
>private/homeschool Quick way to turn them into a weirdo. The key to normalcy is public school in a rich area.
Justin Turner
The absolute state of modern standards. If I have a kid I'll make sure that he plays silent hill 1-2-3-4 when he's old enough.
Colton Roberts
>Homeschool lol no
Jason Foster
Poppy Playtime? more like Poopy Playtime
Kayden Kelly
Weirdo? sure Better a weirdo than a disgusting fifa playing normalfag. I'll even take a sonic obsesed son over a gay tiktok loser
Enjoy your gay trans binary son then
Brayden Ramirez
I would think this was bait if I hadn't seen a toddler with a toy one of these about a week ago.
Where are they getting them? Is there a market for merch of a game that's not out yet? I don't think the parents would know about internet indie horror games, let alone go out of their way to buy merch, so they must just be in stores somewhere.
Lincoln Foster
I don't live in muttmerica and private schools are Christian in my area. Was in one, teachers can slap you, it was very cool there was no niggers and arabs making a ruckus all day.
Gabriel Collins
Kino
Ethan Garcia
Don't forget that the demo costs money too. $5 for a demo you can beat in the same hour you bought it.
Alexander Scott
I don't know
Jack Bennett
Then I moved in public and it was the exact opposite. I fucked off and left for agricultural school. Now I'm a farm nigga.
Logan Turner
Pretend you like all the new shit and then they’ll hate it because its lame in their eyes
David Cruz
>homeschooled years K-3 >fast forward 20 years >still like sonic
Why did you have to attack me like this, user?
Asher Rodriguez
There's already merch, and some company intends to produce a movie of it as well
Nolan Thomas
Eh good enough You don't have to deal with niggers /niggers, not black people/ or trannies at a farm I guess
Dominic Morgan
>How fo you raise a kid in this new internet focused world? Just don't spoil them, and if they do something bad then spank them. Monitor what the watch and don't just use technology to babysit. The issue isn't the internet, it's retarded parents whose idea of 'taking care' of a child is to hand them a tablet and let them go wild.
Alexander Cooper
In American public schools from my experience arabs were way better than niggers but i guess in Europe they got the shitty misbehaved ones?
Jonathan Howard
it's a goofy mest doll with cookiemonster vibes id attribute it to most designs now being overly neat, cartoony, abstracted and sanitized like modern pokemon
uglydolls were popular for being kind of silly and ugl looking even if they were more harmless looking and abstract/clean in design
never heard of or looked into the game as it looked streamerbaitey in memory but i like the design too
Blake Powell
You are just asking for the kid to come out as a gay furry down the line. Putting a taboo on something always backfires. You overestimate how widely accepted freaks are because you are serving yourself up a constant stream of them of your own volition. Homeschooling wont provide the necessary socialization to not turn them into a freak. Instead they are just festering in a petri dish of your own warped idea of normalcy.
I like Sonic too and I'd totally fuck Rogue and Amy. I like what I like and there's nothing wrong with that as long as you don't go around town wearing a nsfw Amy shirt or wearing dog collars or both. If you ever go to a Sonic convention, then sure. go crazy. If my son likes Sonic I'll support him. No 2d games for him tho. I don't want him to turn into a Tailspedo. He's gonna like the girls like his dad does
Chase Powell
I'm sure every generation feels this way at least somewhat. My nephew is the same way. He watches those amogus 3am challenge villain shows or whatever and has a doll of that thing. Personally I can't watch it since it gives me sensory overload with the random noises and yelling and just nonsense. At the end of the day I imagine having a "normal" childhood relative to your peers since I imagine they all watch that shit is more beneficial than being an outcast so it is what it is.
Brayden Murphy
It's another FNAF thing so kids will go apeshit for it. Company who makes the game shills NFTs too, depressing as fuck.
William Bennett
But why? It's not even out yet. Who's throwing money at it this early?
Angel Barnes
In a country with millions of unemployed niggers and towel-heads (France) strangely I only work with white men...
Colton Cook
Reminder that Poppy Playtime only exists so the owner of MOB Games can milk the brand with Minecraft animations. Seriously, pic related is the YouTube channel of the person who owns MOB Games and Poppy Playtime.
Studio71, a company that mostly puts out all sorts of shit
Juan Perez
>make a shitty horror game for the sole purpose of monopolizing the zoomer horror "canon" of fucking minecraft parodies is this company headed by heinz doofenschmirtz
My nephew got really into watching some weird pacman robot videos on youtube, we stopped him from watching it pretty quickly when we realised how much horror shit was in it like sirenhead and fnaf characters.
Gabriel Jenkins
five nights at freddy's is to blame. it started the whole thing.
Alexander James
>these videos will be someone's childhood the next generation will be dead on arrival.
Ayden Moore
>newfags first green text lurk more gayboy.
Caleb Nelson
So, disregarding the meme status, is the game any good? I know the first chapter is only about 20 minutes long but does it show any promise?
Brandon Ward
Wrong, That would be that one Slenderman game
Isaac Wilson
FNAF was the last attempt by an honest developer to make a game. It was a perfect example of someone playing to their strengths, literally working with his criticisms. Before he made FNAF he was told that his cute characters looked creepy as shit. And he intended for it to be a full game. The blame lies with whatever faggot made that Slenderman game. The one that was obviously just trend-chasing.
Tyler Watson
>hey kid, play these boring asf dated games that i think they are good out of pure nostalfagging
James James
>dude these shitty jumpscare games that rely on faggot fads will totally be remembered in 20 years >Oh boy that five nights at niggerinos those were the days i wish niggerino fucked my ass
Sebastian Morgan
Stop looking at little girls, sick fuck, you even know what plushy they have, where do you see them , fucking bedrooms, stalker ass freak.
Joseph Richardson
Kids have ALWAYS liked slightly creepy things, courage the dog, invader zim, goosebumps, scooby doo, i mean dude, you only have to use your brain for a couple of seconds to notice, even the og grimm stories were for children
Evan Rogers
me and a friend stumbled on these videos and we spent an hour or two watching them. they’re basically like saturday morning cartoons but with a ton of IP infringement and enough bright colors to make you feel like you’re losing brain cells every minute.
