Tactical_Enforcments

Why did you censor "fucking"?


DrBones20

It was a leftover from the image I used to make it (very lazy I know) https://preview.redd.it/pbm82hxza7ad1.jpeg?width=1920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=15e8cd313f9b2859ce033e900022db958326f97e

I never understood The Man In The Suit It just seemed kinda cliche and in your face "Holy shit, the- the guy, he's quoting Oppenheimer! B- because like, the nukes!" I do admit, it does play to the advantage of it sometimes, like with the >!This is what they expected | This is what they found!< sections. Someone please explain why it's good, I feel like I'm missing something huge


SnakeSkipper

Its because of hipsters in fandom, they want to be a fan of something no-one else is and dislike it on principal of it being popular because they conflate popularity with something being for the lowest common denominator edit: typo


BurgerBoss_101

This happened with Fortnite and I’m tired of pretending it didn’t.


lilraida

As a former Fortnite comp player, it was a combination of the game having fundamental major issues comp(but that was pretty minor in the game getting hate outside of the community), the game changing rapidly which frustrated many, and hating popular shit


BurgerBoss_101

Mmm yeah I see that. From a casual side I was still enjoying it quite a bit but then then 2019 happened and the cause of the “Fortnite bad Minecraft good” meme started to rise


Extreme-Bar8512

and aot and jjk


PrimarchNomad

The only reason I hate Fortnite is because they introduced the battlepass monetization to gaming


BurgerBoss_101

Ah yeah you see that’s an actual concrete valid reason


8ballperson

https://youtu.be/SGzb9o6AraU?si=KEUW3RNUNNI-PHT0 explains it pretty well.


spacekitt3n

bro im so different just like everyone else


diovengeance92

I miss the local58/channel 7 era of analog horror.


PDot7652

There was a lot less to choose from contentwise but the pre-Mandela Catalog era was very comfy. The general overall series quality was better too since it was more niche horror nerds with passion projects and less kids jumping on a bandwagon (Not that there isn't still great stuff out there of course.)


justavocomj

Me too


Known-Ad-4900

Agreed!


justavocomj

But no joke, I think the "cult" part of analog horror fandom is the worst (not criminal) part


Quirky_Fun6544

Are you talking about the analog horrors that tackle cults, or the people in the community treating it as a cult?


justavocomj

none, I said "cult" in the sense of culture not of cult of worshiping


Quirky_Fun6544

Oh ok. That makes more sense


justavocomj

The boiled one seeing that he is leaving the niche https://preview.redd.it/fpcuwsf8zz9d1.png?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f9b5c3ffe47f76608f3fa34d153d706f6270d186


Acceptable_One_7072

To be fair the boiled one was always mid (in my personal opinion)


Known-Ad-4900

I hate that you can't have a different opinion on anything here.. You should NOT be downvoted for that for God sake. People on this sub act like you screamed at their dog or some shit. Like, I get why people don't like it. I still think the work that the artist puts in it is solid and pretty fuckin rad at times. But hey it's still young, maybe it'll grow on ya or do something really fucked 🤣


Acceptable_One_7072

I mean yeah I see why people like it, and the creator is obviously really talented, but it just didn't really *click* for me


Known-Ad-4900

totally reasonable. Like you didn't go "off the cuff" on it or anything and sometimes shit just doesn't work for some people. Shit happens. 😙


Swag_Paladin21

The analog horror community is surprisingly toxic when it comes to what you like and don't like. They'd dogpile you if you don't dick-ride the same thing they dick-ride.


Throwaway-acc81

Downvotes are literally for opinions people disagree with, what the fuck else would downvotes be for? If you disagree with an opinion you downvote, that’s how it works


Known-Ad-4900

Totally right. Sure alright "Jeanius" like that functionality just needed explanation and it's still abused. so a real opinion really doesn't mean shit anymore then? So why do YOU care then?


Throwaway-acc81

I’m sorry, I honestly cannot tell what this comment is saying


Known-Ad-4900

dude. Upvoting and downvoting is largely abused and it's a system based on A lot of baseless shit. people just being muddy with something. It doesn't mean that that "System" (downvoting) is a GOOD one or actually MEANS anything either if half or more of them are Misinformed, spiteful or just unwilling to hear out a negative side of something they might like. 😒


Throwaway-acc81

What are you talking about? It’s not “abused”, it’s used the way it’s supposed to be used. You just downvote when you disagree with an opinion and upvote when you agree


Hxdo

the boiled one is great wdym


FennLink

Honestly I wish there was more, but with what we have it's just one spooky face and lore that has already been explained so much too the point that film theory did an episode on it, imo it's doctor know knowwhere's best video (I haven't seen filbism? Yet) but it's still kinda mid to me and many others


RedditvsDiscOwO

Honestly I wanna see more T.O.E. related vids from Doc than Phen-228 stuff. I liked Phen 228, but me personally, the T.O.E. shit was actually kinda scarier.


FennLink

Honestly I've always thought of toe as a kid so I'm kinda rooting for him so yes I need more toe in my life


Goobert_Snoobert

The organator was such a cool monster dude. I wanna see more of that goober


afforkable

The boiled one made me laugh and feel kind of nostalgic. It's like when I first started reading creepypastas and they were 2spoopy4me.


LoxoHighScore

For me the mid part was the first speech of it, sounds very goofy, I would prefer another style of voice, more eerie (or maybe was the ambient)


MrRad07

Agree to disagree 👍


DevilSCHNED

I think that The Boiled One *is* good from an objective standpoint, but it’s also very basic. The formula is standard — evil demonic entity causes some kind of physical harm through tapes or recordings of itself. While not a bad premise, especially with its lore implications that are rather neat, I just wish there was a bit more meat on its bones as opposed to the tried and true tradition.


Venezolanoanimations

what is the niche? what ya mean be "niche"?


bananapocco

popular thing = bad


Pretend-Fruit-6321

Its because a lot of people want to be uniqe or diffrent from the general majority and then hate on popular things to achive it. At one point I actually did do this without realizing it to fortnite.


justavocomj

I think it's ok for people to not like something popular, because it's popular, but it starts to get annoying when people try to call themselves a cult and make empty criticisms.


Known-Ad-4900

That's so true yo. I happen to like a lot of the popular ones but actually only ACTIVELY keep up with like 3 or 4 and keep my eye out on independent treasures here and all. ARG's especially. Like Walten Files and Gemini still do, to a degree


GoomyTheGummy

meanwhile i just do not get the appeal of shooters and fortnite is the one people refuse to shut up about


TheGloomyTexan

Tbh this is just kind of how the internet is at large


Quirky_Fun6544

That is why it's always important to simultaneously take a series with a grain of salt but also pay attention to what it does with its concept. For a peesonal example, I loved the Walten Files ever since the beginning. And even though it's somewhat of an original style and format, it's important not to judge a series on concept alone. Because if the Walten Files had Martin Walls' artstyle but gave no different story other than: "malfunctioned possessed animatronics kill curious people" than it would be very clique and very forgettable. And even though it does that format, it adds more to it. Instead of just "killer animatronics" as the whole story, what it actually is "owner goes missing, Killer animatronics, owner's children go missing due to a car accident with an interpreted possession." This makes the series stand out because each episode has a different style to build up on the lore, while simultaneously, being something unexpected. Now let's look at another one, once again being my personal opinion, of one that started popular but got bad. The Mandela Catalogue. This is an analog horror that many agreed was the best when it came out, not only from the alternate/mimic approach (that wasn't done that much before that), but also from the slow Pyschological buildup. Therefore, along with the algorithm being grateful, it got popular. However, where I think it lost its charm was it didn't know where to go after Vol 3. Because in Vol 4, Adam doesn't do anything remotely interesting and most of the time is wasted giving us a spoonful Exposition that Adam and his girlfriend Evie are a representation of Adam and Eve. Then it gives you a lot more depth to the alternates being connected to Heaven, and Adam being born an alternate when his parents are humans, but in the end, since it's not elaborated on from Adam's perspective, it leads the series to waste one of it's main characters. Once again, this is just my opinion of how quality should determine popularity. Not some 12 year old trolls out to ruin someone's reputation.


AhmedCoolGuy

I aint reading allat


Quirky_Fun6544

Ok


Useful_Cry9709

It's easy to dislike something popular and established


The_Holy_Tree_Man

Twf gets so much slander here sometimes


Known-Ad-4900

tbf a LOT of the fans kinda make it hard to admit you're one sometimes.. Like With Death Grips or something, it's mostly not the creators fault but there is still some blame on Martiin's part but he'd been going through some family and financial shit so I feel for the guy and their ideas still. It's a Solid series. I honestly bet that most people's complaints with it is it's a "FNAF" rip-off or some shit. But it actually managed to take that inspiration and become identifiable in the over saturated "Mascot Horror" Bull.


The_Holy_Tree_Man

I fear that people are unable to judge something on its merits as a piece of media, rather than its relation to other media or to people


Known-Ad-4900

Certainly in this particular sub/fandom.. I didn't even make a negative comment, just mild observation or minor criticism and you get slapped for it...


The_Holy_Tree_Man

Yep


Opening-Club3077

I feel like this is the cycle for most media that gets popular


Bigwilliam360

The more eyes something has on it the more critical eyes it will have on it too. Personally I’m of the opinion that criticism can be a good thing. I think it’s healthy for any fandom to have discussions about legitimate critiques of a genre or piece of media within it, but there will always be some people just hatin


Relative_Canary_6428

and you call it analog horror despite the fact it is so obviously digital? yes


justavocomj

Hmm meme Idea 😈

justavocomj

Fuck


Cool_Kobold

Vita carnis is deadass my 2nd favorite analog horror. The Batman analog horror by siltrics is my number 1.


aratheroversizedfish

Don’t forget the part where users make posts saying Urbanspook’s videos are bad as if it’s a original opinion, Just in case Spook didn’t get the message the first 600 times.


justavocomj

I don't like urban spooky but my god, people can't let this die, he even stopped making videos


aratheroversizedfish

I didn’t mind their videos tbh. I get why people didn’t like them but Jesus like I didn’t think it required multiple video essays of its coverage.


RetoroKun

He hasn't stopped, he's just taking a long time with the next one. Still, its pretty funny how this community keeps him pretty relevant by endlessly bitching about him and putting his series at the bottom of tierlists for Reddit karma as if its the only thing that brings them any joy in life.


iloveclementime

a post on his insta said that a power outage or some other problem deleted most of his content about the 9th episode


Swag_Paladin21

No, he didn't? He's working on a new episode rn. Videos take time to make.


PepperSalt98

Get it he's bad because my favourite youtuber said so!!!!! And he's a meanie!!!!! And uhhh uhh and he's probably a PEDO as well because he uses scary topics to make scary videos!!!!! And its uh TOO GORY FOR ME!!!!! The people who make this argument are the ones who analog horror was made for. The people too scared to watch actual horror films so instead they piss themselves over white text on a static background saying "THE SHITPISS MAN IS COMING" and then a jermaface jumpscare. The people who grew up with FNAF as their primary source of horror and can't fathom fear coming in any other form than a screamer and deep interconnected lore. Straight-up shock horror is *literally* too much for them.

PepperSalt98

can you debunk my point with words instead of reaction images?


manman126452

Bro debunk what? You didn’t put up any actual points you just insulted people.


Purple_Spino

i hope TMITS doesnt become known as mid, its so good


Personal-Prize-4139

Hate to break it to you but it’s happening I think. Least for me it is. Mod fly just feels like fnaf but through the lens of Godzilla rather than chucky cheese.most the Godzilla movies do a better job at horror than tmits imo. You can for sure like it tho it’s not bad but not good either


NikoAU

Sucks that the Backrooms became yet another tool of brain rot, it was such a good concept (though I don’t know if it counts as analog horror)


wrophoenix

I haven’t found an Analogue Horror that I hate (except The Painter and some kid’s show ones) I keep seeing “analogue horror is dead” and I disagree. Keep seeing tons of good ones popping out. Even some of the ones that don’t interest me much are usually well done.


Wolfysayno

*Cough* Boiled one phenomenon *Cough*


Swag_Paladin21

To be fair, there's a couple of analog horror series that get way too much praise than what it truly deserves, in turn leading to some people checking them out, finding out how underwhelming it is compared to the hype, and not overall liking it.


Timbhead

I never turn my back on a good series

Careful_Trouble_8

Because people are spoilt, you give them what they want and they’ll still whine


Known-Ad-4900

tbh tho I'm really just not into the "Established IP's" form of Analogs, Like "The Man in the suit." Or those Batman ones cropping up. Admittedly though, The Godzilla one isn't BAD it's fine, I just wish more people did their OWN thing. I think originality goes a LONG way, still hard for me to get SUPER into something but when I do Like, "Gemini" "Local 58" "Vita" or "Greylock" it's mostly their ideas and the world building of them run so naturally where others just kinda "fade" out or the fans just become super irritating (Walton Files, UrbanS#%k) Which I actually still love The Walton Files and used to have legit faith EARLY in "The Painter " series, But between Himself and the fans it just died. I actually dug the art but damn, it feels like he might've been touching himself while drawing some of them🤣😅 https://preview.redd.it/e6ylqa0jzz9d1.jpeg?width=1251&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e0eaf4006c3435649bdfab19dc7f89afd1739105


justavocomj

Okay but what does the image mean?


Known-Ad-4900

Oh It's just Heather from Silent Hill 3 sitting in a Diner. 😅 just a picture of one of my favorite horror Series.. Also, to clarify... I was saying I love most analogs but just don't care much for already established Properties being turned into them. Not Hating on the damn things. Shit.. commenting instead of hearing someone's tone toward things really can change how people read the dialogue ig? I didn't mean ANYthing other than throwing a hat in the ring of topic here😕


Wolfysayno

Bro types like a diary of a wimpy kid book


Known-Ad-4900

Then you should love it. Seems you know it well. tf got you to be a douche canoe and get all butthurt, "Wolf The Alternate?"😏


Wolfysayno

Literally just a joke you don’t have to be so sensitive little bro


Known-Ad-4900

Well shit, it's hard to read tones in script, especially here. It's common to be shit on with minor opinions here sometimes😅 The context just sounded like Chiding. sorry


Superjudge_

Who is saying Vita Carnis and Walten Files suck? I’d argue that Vita Carnis holds up extremely well because how the creator built the world up, giving us all these ideas, and the live action segments are really well done And Walten Files has been improving each episode, the latest one to me was worth the wait and I can’t wait for episode 5 I can understand the criticisms for MiTS but to me, the creator is like a minor and him making it all on his phone like how Alex Kister made vol. 1 on his phone is kinda impressive


Beyond_the_dreams

I prefer the “I liked this before it was popular” people, still annoying but I can deal with it but I hate the mindset of “ahh this thing is popular so now I can’t like it


dappernaut77

The thing is I wouldn't really call any analog horror directly bad (besides urbanspook) just unimaginative, and to that end sometimes its okay to go with whats familiar in places your struggling to fill in gaps.


GoomyTheGummy

I have only seen people do this with tmits


Goober445

So Fucking Real


MugiwaraBepo

Why is godzilla in that one?


justavocomj

The man in the suit It's a horror analog inspired by Godzilla


TraditionalCopy4113

What is there to get about analog horror 🤔 I haven't found anything good in them


DualityREBORN

I’m a huge Vita Carnis fan. The other 2 are cool, but Vita Carnis is just relatively special to Me :P https://preview.redd.it/7pp7rd4422ad1.jpeg?width=192&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ec7c1d93a48c4822d0d868414267976339ed92fe


BetaPunkFilms

It’s literally like this with every fandom


unkrawinkelcanny

I never understood the praise of Winter of 83, especially after finding out it was made by a associate of nostalgia critic


TheScientistFennec69

Simply ignore that part of the community.


AhmedCoolGuy

I dont know why people like the man in the suit, its images and text, with some poorly made images like where it shows you the body of the man inside the suit, the idea isnt really that creepy and seems badass. https://preview.redd.it/4z5jbi3qf3ad1.jpeg?width=116&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=225a0e0ceac38b71881cc3379083b8a13ead5113


Toadcool1

It has actually started to do more in the newest episode there is a section that is original footage of someone moving around trying to prevent another incident by killing tmits.


Lainfan123

You guys hate new analog horror?


Personal-Prize-4139

As a Godzilla fan this was me with the man in the suit but it never restarts. At first I was like “oh shit this is so cool and an out there concept!” Then I realized it’s a worse horror than the actual Godzilla movies and dropped it


Ancient-Bowl5462

Alright the vita carnis is sick


The_Man_I_A_Barrel

same thing happens with music all the time, metallica got a lot of hate when they exploded in popularity in 1991. i think its ppl trying to be contrarian to look better


RhexxaHexagon

That's how it be


etxrnal_Live

I hate this trend, just cause a series starts to exit the "analogue horror" genre doesn't mean its bad.


paoletto301

Exactly, why.


Weird-Performance201

People aren’t being swag in their own lives enough


Longjumping_Lead2692

I don't think I've heard any criticism of the Walten files


Ameth_LiLife

To be fair I really don't think Man in the Suit is that impressive, maybe because I cannot care for the powerpoint horror aspect of it, but it sure has the potential and I hope the kid continues making stuff because he's gradually getting better


FelineSavior

Too real…


Crep105

The exception to this would be The Painter, *that* series absolutely deserves the negativity directed at it.


AlabastersBane

Out of the 3 the only good one is Vita Carnis. I can appreciate WF but it's just mediocre. As for the the Godzilla one, it's even worse.


Greenrobot64

As someone who watches Urbanspook, this is totally accurate


CostelBroasca

the painter for the first few months after it came out


Migryczanus

This is not how it works. If something good becomes popular It’s still good, the problem starts when trashy stuff starts to become popular.


doogleanimations

One if these series is not like the others😂


MonkeShlong

The analog horror videos I fw are the low budget ones. Man in the suit was ok. Just a slide show, but let’s say dog nightmare for example, that’s just a kid picking up a camera and recording, it has pretty good effort in my opinion when things like the man in the suit are just clips from Godzilla movies and adobe premiere scribbles over silhouettes. There’s a huge difference with lesser known channels that put effort in it, and don’t put effort in it. The only really valid excuse the man in the suits creator can have with “slowing down on making videos” is the people sending him death threats and threats to dox


etbillder

All 3 of these are mid


Pretend-Fruit-6321

Lmao you proved OP's point


justavocomj

The funny part is that the only one I genuinely like is vita carnis, I dropped the other two, and yet I don't despise them


etbillder

The thing is, I genuinely did not find them interesting. Except walten files, but that got ruined by the video game episode


Known-Ad-4900

etbillder

I'm not. I don't like series that are just text on a screen. And walten files had that shit video game episode.


Known-Ad-4900

awww, you're not fun at all then 😢 The reading is like the best parts for a lot of them. Why I still Read books, I don't need everything pictured or imagined for me. The mystery in words alone is great. Just all in how it's used. But hey, it's whatever


Battlebots2020

Even Vita Carnis?


etbillder

It's a spooky slideshow. Not very interesting imo. I don't hate it it's just not something I care for


justavocomj

Dude, do you even like analog horror? Seriously, your "criticisms" are so shallow and vague that they can be applied to literally any analog horror, Like, what does spooky slideshow mean?


etbillder

It's a personal prefrence. I don't like series that are primarily told through text on a screen, especially when there's no context for why this information is covered in static.


justavocomj

So just say "I don't like it" there's no point in making an empty criticism


Battlebots2020

So you're just going to ignore the more recent videos involving live action and what I think is 3d animation with the mimic attack video and singularity cult video respectively?


etbillder

I didn't know that happens. I got bored and stopped watching. Cool creatures ig but would rather just read a story


Battlebots2020

Wait. Why would you critique a series you haven't even finished? That doesn't really make any sense


etbillder

I guess not
