So you hate me because I'm not good enough as a theorist?

You saw what happened with Steven Universe. The whole fandom was almost ready to bail, declaring that none of it made sense. I've had people scream in my face that it was all shit.

But I still believed in the show. And I kept trying to find answers. And eventually, I found them.

And I believed in FNAF. That's how all of this started. I believed in a story that nobody could see.

And I caught a glimpse of it, and did something I'd never done before, made a video that was almost feature length, to sing it's praises.

Only to find that the one guy I respected the most in the theorist community, would not even give one of the basic assumptions of The Color Brothers its day in court. A month after publicly stating that FNAF had no story to speak of. Which itself was a month after I published The Color Brothers, and correctly predicted a few events in FNAF 4.

Cocky? Me? Again, you're targeting the wrong person.

I knew I'd need help figuring everything out. Only to find that, the moment I arrived at the scene, I was immedately Persona Non Grata. Apparently because I'd gotten something right.

And here we are, years later. And the same guy is now public taking credit for theories he got from a guy he didn't acknowledge exists. And still doesn't.

Look me in the eye, and tell me I have no grounds for being angry.

Look me in the eye and tell me I was wrong to leave the FNAF fandom for a while to work on Steven Universe. When that action may have just saved the show. All in my quest to prove that I was real.

Look me in the eye and say I'm a bastard for believing in FNAF. And Matpat.

And then why it's a terrible thing that, after years of this, I'm still here.

See things from your perspective? Can you see things from mine?

In FNAF, what else do we have to go on, other than nebulous author statements, child pictures, distorted audio, and reflections from a mirror universe? It's literally all we have.

And yet I managed to tie something that made a semblance of order, out of these frayed and fractured threads.

Even now, Matpat is saying that the lore doesn't entirely make sense. That it's contradictory. Something that hasn't really significantly changed over the years.

Can you blame him for thinking that? I really can't. I've literally gone insane myself, trying to figure all of this out.

And after sewing my own brain back together, admittedly with a little help from some supportive friends, I'm doing what I can to try and fix things.

An effort that doesn't seem to be working very well.

You seem to have no worries about venting your frustration on me, regardless of how much damage it does. Though I do wonder if you can understand where my own frustration comes from.
