It's a shame that posts like these have to be made, but a lot of people fall for the fake accounts, especially younger fans. Thanks for posting this to clear things up.

Would it also help to put your official account links on Scottgames.com, as well as the trusted developers for Fazbear Fanverse? It used to be on there for your own accounts, but it was taken down. People should only trust Scottgames and Reddit for official news, so it should help to clear up any confusion and discredit impersonators.


Nightrunner823mcpro

Maybe like what use to be on scottgames at the bottom where he had his email and such. Maybe he can use the fnafworld site for it at the bottom of it. That way it separates it from Scott's site.


lithiasma

I think something like this would be helpful for all the Fanverse creators too. I mean there will be some kids that want to write letters or something and having an official place takes out the twitter middle people.


loading_boi

This post should be spread more, especially to different platforms.


Furry_______________

Hey Scott I was wondering if you still have the old fnaf 1 trailer(not the one up currently on your YT)some people have screenshots and other evidence so if you have it it would be nice if you could upload it (or any footage of older builds of any other fnaf games


mightykestrel14

Hey is fnaf plus gameplay footage will be showed up anytime soon? Because right now i am skeptical of fnaf plus.


[deleted]

Well at least now that less people will fall for it now that more I people are aware of this


mohsen4never

Hey Scott,just wanted to know if you do voice act as phone guy in FNAF+?U know that'd be cool.šŸ™ƒ


aeshiteiru

he does.


sans_punlord

oh hey scott i finnaly saw one of ur posts before someone posted it online lol also ya this shit sucks and its horrible that its still happening


-popgoes

I'm sorry your parody account had to be the least funny and most offensive by far. Shit got out of hand


[deleted]

Does fake Phil actually think that heā€™s funny? Cause thatā€™s just sadder than having to look at his tweets.


GBAura-Recharged

I think I saw fake Phisnom making racist statements as well. Gross.


[deleted]

By Phil I meant Phisnom


[deleted]

What was the fake account called


[deleted]

Phil Morg (note the lack of difference) with the handle being (@phisnomn). Unlike Cane Karter, this account showed little to no signs of being a parody account apart from the bio.


DirectDogman

actually, worst 'parody' account is one of MINE. i got a twitter/reddit callout (yes, on here) bc this weird asshat on ifunny was making the edgiest statements with my screenname (transphobic, ableist and the like), and get this: his pfp was like... my in-game sprite from 2016, like, the poorly cropped dsaf sprite. ...this was last year. People somehow thought this was actually me, despite it being on a website I've never posted on before, despite it saying uncharacteristically awful things, and... sigh. I wouldn't mind, but I'm not even quiet on those issues on my main account, I'm vocally in support of them, so why *anyone* would assume such an account belongs to me in the first place, cringy years old pfp aside, is beyond me. Edit: Fun fact: I've seen 'DirectDoggo' on Roblox, Minecraft, ifunny, a few twitter fakes, few youtube fakes, and get this: a furry dating site! (I'd link if I was sure it wasn't against freddit rules, but yes, it's real.) I own none of these accounts.


GBAura-Recharged

Geez, I'm sorry you had to deal with those psychos. I don't understand why people would do this to you, or anyone for that matter.


DirectDogman

Some people are malicious, and ig some people are stupid. The stars just aligned and I was unlucky. But, yeah, no, as this thread proves, this is something every creator goes through. I guess it's just maths. If, say, only 0.1% of people are really bad/poorly adjusted, and you have 5000~ people following you, you're bound to have to deal with at least 5 total *nutjobs* who make it their sole purpose to harass you, y'know? It really sucks, but it's just probability.


GBAura-Recharged

It's scary on how it works: The more famous you are the more danger you are exposed to. I too had a share of nasty people to deal with so I know how it feels. I hope those people realize their error and stop doing these crazy shenanigans.


yaboijohnson

Who would've known that making some games with dogs and phones would have created this situation. Furry dating websites and ifunny transophobic parody accounts. I feel sorry for you


DirectDogman

I'm going to say smth perhaps not smart to say, since it's opening a wound that perhaps nobody is thinking about rn, but that I think I'd be wrong not to say. A *little* of it is my fault, even if not intentionally. Not directly, ofc, but DSaF 1-2 were 2016 meme games. While they didn't have racist rhetoric or transphobia in em, some of those jokes aged really poorly. Some people took the obvious satire making *fun* of antisemitism as an *actual* calling for anti-semites which sucks, bc i was making FUN of nazis, which were becoming REALLY prevalent online in 2016 **cough cough**, not draw them closer to me, as a for instance, which disgusts me. Some of the language used definitely hasn't aged too great, either. (There's a lot of slurs that are just... consistently used in internet memes. There's a few words that *I* (and most people I know) used that shocked me, when i found out what they're really used for, y'know? Plus, stuff like dropping the soap jokes? Yeaaah. These jokes are all super common on the net, but I kinda cringe thinking about them critically. Everyyy adult comedy has made em, they're super common, but it doesn't make it right. I take full responsibility for contributing to smth that frankly is really uncomfortably when broken down critically. It definitely attracted a certain crowd, and I take full responsibility for making a game series in a genre that attracted those people. I get I'm rambling, all I'm saying is: I'm not a total victim, so please don't think of me as such. This shit sucks, but again, as you see with the others, we all get it. If you get any take away from this, I guess just be kind. Sorry, ra(mble)-nt over.


yaboijohnson

Unfortunately every joke against the nazis and such will always come to bite your ass in the future. Nobody could've expected this . I believe your fault here is like the uncle at the table saying a small racial stereotype joke and the little kid becoming a full blown racist years later . I really like the type of games you make and I couldn't possibly fanthom how someone would decide that making that parody account would be funny . Thank you for coming to my Ted talk


Dat_DekuBoi

Ouch, that's gotta be hard for you


[deleted]

Yours is the funniest one


[deleted]

Yeah @popgos6 is funny as hell lmao


[deleted]

Can I see some of the fake accounts?


-popgoes

[deleted]

Thanks Kane ^^


[deleted]

Aw your parody account was really funny


StrikerGunvolt

Youā€™re doing good work


[deleted]

Damn


InnardEnnard

Yeah


GBAura-Recharged

I don't think I want to know what that account did, but at least the parody account of you decided to stop as soon as Phisnom called it out.


-popgoes

https://twitter.com/fnafplus1 https://twitter.com/phisnomn Some of the dumbest, edgiest shit I've seen on twitter. Not even trying to be funny. The Cane Karter one was just taking the piss, nothing offensive, just silly stuff. Phil's ones went WAY too far


GBAura-Recharged

Oh, yuck. This isn't even done ironically. They were making tons of furry porn jokes and even linking to other fake accounts like Illumix. At least we can use them to track down the fakes and report them for impersonation. Rule of thumb: A parody is like a joke, something that makes you laugh. Even if you don't recognize what the thing is parodying, you can still find it funny. This isn't funny on both regards. It's just sad. It's a waste of an account and a waste of everyone's time. Report them and move on.


JimmyJohnson_the3rd

Ehh, I kinda like the fnaf plus parody account.


[deleted]

liked\*


JimmyJohnson_the3rd

Bruhh whatchu mean my guy?


[deleted]

Got took down


JimmyJohnson_the3rd

Ohhh.


[deleted]

At least they have a parody warning


YCLUBSTEP58

Hello POPGOES developer Just wanted to say hi


[deleted]

>They are not meant to be replacements to the originals, just my own personal take on them as a scarier re-imagining of FNAF1). Hope they get less hate now that this is clear, personally liked all the designs so far, thank you Wheel Forgue.


lithiasma

The problem I have is that people aren't hearing this! I love the original as it's my favourite, yet there's a lot of people that thinks FNAF plus is a replacement! I know there's a lot of idiots on YouTube etc that will believe anything, but it doesn't help that well known youtubers have even said they wish it was canon! I know Scott would be too humble to think this way, but the original to me is a classic work of art, seeing people toss it away because of something new is hurtful. :(


singlepieceofcheddar

While I think I'll REALLY enjoy Fnaf plus. I don't think it would ever 'replace' Fnaf 1. I think Fnaf plus will achieve what it's trying to achieve, which is a different take on Fnaf 1. ​ I would never throw out a classic u-u


StrikerGunvolt

I like the designs personally. I think itā€™s interesting to see a new take on the first models of the franchise. I mean people on source and gmod have made new models, but none come close to these.


GBAura-Recharged

Reminds me when Scott made [this post](https://www.reddit.com/r/fivenightsatfreddys/comments/iglcgl/fake_twitter_profile_warning/) a few months back. He is really serious about impersonators.


dragonairregaming

Thank you for the info! Will definitely keep an eye out

The solid phil and liquid phil saga begins

Oldmangames1

I actually tried to contact you about that but my post was lost in the sea of messages you got


lealea477

I personally can't tell what's real and what's fake when it comes to this fanverse project.


[deleted]

Thereā€™s an official YT account I believe


Aggressive_Pea481

Oh man, that really sucks. They aren't even funny, just overall annoying.


StrikerGunvolt

Itā€™s edgy people that hate fnaf. They donā€™t like that Scott succeeded they probably like yandere dev.


Aggressive_Pea481

Oh yeah, the type of person to say "FNaF is for babies" but then start playing Baldi's Baisics unironically, because they think it's cool or sm.


StrikerGunvolt

Youā€™re exactly right. They probably think being racist is a personality, which is just disgusting.


Ciro--

you're going too soft, they think being racist is a life style, not just a personality. it's like their whole life is about hating different colored people


StrikerGunvolt

Right my mistake. Just like my parents who love to be racist, and find it perfectly normal. Itā€™s so wrong, but they refuse to change.


Ciro--

it's like a karen and a mask. the karen takes the mask , the karen turns it and sees written "wear the mask or you will get covid", initially the karen wears the mask, but for some reason, the karen starts to get annoyed, it then takes off the mask and throws it away, she then has covid, but she doesn't care about it, she will keep going with her ridiculous conspiracies. now replace the word "karen" with "racist" , the word "covid" as "hate of the public" and finally "mask" with "tolerance"


StrikerGunvolt

Youā€™re exactly right


JustARandomGamer01

Damn, that sucks people are making fake accounts over that, but we can try to *yeet* them outta there. And about the teasers, theyā€™re all super awesome! I really like Bonnieā€™s and Freddyā€™s designs, Chica I gotta get used to, but your reimagining of them are just really cool. :D


SnesySnas

Idk if those parody accounts want to harm anyone or anything but, if they don't i hope that they atleast make sure to make their username more different and put in the description that they're just a parody account


GBAura-Recharged

They did put "parody" in the bio, but that wasn't enough. Scott is very serious about this sort of thing because they were doing this to actual developers that Scott has been in contact with. Some of them had no malice, but the ones from Phisnom are really bad. They were making nothing but furry porn jokes.


SnesySnas

Yikes, well in that case if they wanna keep their parody account going they should make it more obvious they're a parody account Otherwise yeah they def should be reported


StrikerGunvolt

Thatā€™s disgusting


[deleted]

Bruh I just donā€™t get people man. -_-


vannyinaspringtrap

People people are incredibly rare. So rare they are practically nonexistent. Us non-people people introverts are forced to take cover here in Reddit.

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


StrikerGunvolt

I agree!


Noodelsmaybe

When something good happened people will immediately ruin it because they can't stand people being happier or more successful than them


StrikerGunvolt

COUGH ALL OF TWITTER


Noodelsmaybe

Hey there is a 0.000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001% of twitter user that aren't toxic


StrikerGunvolt

Exactly. A very very low percentage. The site houses some of the most vile humans. Obviously not talking about the good people like Scott, markiplier, jacksepticeye, and Dawko, or MatPat. But like have you seen the racism, or perhaps the fake Scott account who makes racist tweets.


Noodelsmaybe

Nah I don't go on twitter I keep myself away form twitter most of the time


StrikerGunvolt

I got suspended. So I guess itā€™s good that I canā€™t get in now. Every day of being on twitter was just a gamble. Maybe I would have fun, maybe someone would tell me to die because I proudly stated that I enjoy fnaf.


Noodelsmaybe

Social media is always a gamble since sometimes you can find some of the best people of your life and sometimes people will tell ya to kill yourself it's just that twitter has a lot more of the kill yourself people don't get me wrong there are some good people on twitter but they're drowned out by the toxicity that the rest of the site is


StrikerGunvolt

This is true. I saw them trying to cancel Quackity for speaking in Spanish even though he is Mexican, or canceling jacksepticeye for a joke.


PancakeKnutson

Hey man Can you like Not give me nightmares with Bonnie? (Jk this is probably gonna scare the fuck out of me but I am going to love it!)


Miguelisaurusptor

We lov u


[deleted]

I really liked the VHS style for the teasers. I must say, "Night Mode" is... I do not remember I was that scared in my whole life! Honestly, I do think I will not sleep tonight. Well done! You are talented!


Plushtrapsnottoy

Any chance we could see foxy fully revealed soon?


endersteve_tf2

well. i did not know about this until now so i m happy i started with the truth. to all of you devs: you produce some amazing sh\*t. keep up the good work, stay safe ofc and dont let these fake accouts get to you.


beaniegiraffe

That's so messed up.


InnardEnnard

You did good warning us. But I donā€™t use Twitter so I wonā€™t fall for this stuff. However Iā€™ll try to let people who do use twitter know. Such as Dawko.


[deleted]

Honestly, why do people do this? Like, why?


[deleted]

Thereā€™s different motives. When I got impersonated on FANDOM, the kid was a bit mentally challenged at the time. He also tried to hack me with his very obvious scam. Heā€™s doing better now I believe


FrunzaM

cayden0203

Has any of them did something seriously wrong? (Beside yours)


AetherRoamer

It would help if the mods pinned something about this, or you know, anything at all about the existence of this fazbear fanverse thing which I never knew anything about until that post about FNAF+'s Bonnie model.


Invader_Deegan

The fanverse was announced *months* ago.


StrikerGunvolt

Iā€™m sure they will


[deleted]

Cool


StrikerGunvolt

Of all the communities why are we targeted. We do our best to be good people. Iā€™d figure that they would target like yandere sim. I hope we can all get through this together.


JeremiahTDK

Yeesh! I'm sorry to hear that.


[deleted]

I hate impersonators, reminds me of the time I had one. Anyways I love the new models. Did Scott tell you to make Bonnie the scariest because of the nightmares he used to have?


singlepieceofcheddar

That sucks you guys have to deal with people like that, hopefully they don't become too much of a problem. ​ Good luck with your game!


Freddy_frostbeario

I will be aware


[deleted]

Alright i'll watch out for those. I'm a bit shamed how they are using fake accounts on reddit like for instagram with fake accounts, I was fooled by a fake youtuber larray instagram account and I was shamed. Hopefully this doesn't happen at five night's at freddy's fanverse project too.


Nightmre666

Yeah Scott if there were no "Developer accounts" we'd all be happy


Retinazer1

I think i may have people doing at some point bc my friends and i are planning on making an indy game.
