Quite frankly, i can't keep this anymore.
Yes, this will be a rant. If you don't like the FnaF series, do as you should and avoid this jornal,  for rage comments without arguments will be hidden. But don't worry. I don't want these rants to become repetitive and redundant, so i'm putting all my thoughts into one and only rant.

I can't stand this anymore. I can't stand how EVERYTIME i see a list about horror games, horror moments or ANYTHING mentioning Jumpscares, i HAVE to find a Fnaf hating comment. And they always say the same things:
_"Its not a good game"
-"It relies on Jumpscares!"
-"It just sucks!"
-"Its not scary"

STOP THIS ALREADY!
Lets check the "arguments" one by one. "Its not a good game" can not be used as an argument. its opinion and opinion is totally irrelevant when judging a game. The graphics are very good and polished, the sound department is erie, silent and very scary, and it was all made by one guy with money directly from his pockets. Either way you look at it, thats very impressive.
"It relies on Jumpscares!" *sigh* People, understand this: Just because it *has* jumpscares doesn't mean it *relies* on jumpscares. Actually, allow me to also explain the "its not scary" argument too! In my opinion, horror can be achieved in 2 ways.

+You can put me either put me into a complete isolated area, where i have to find a way to escape. You can put a monster there, but hide it from me till its time to apear. You'll get me VERY scared that i don't know whats going after me, when its going after me or if i'm safe. it builds a false sense of security. those are the 4 keywords. "False sense of Security".
Or
+You can put me into a closed location and show me what the monster is, but also that i have BARELY any means of defending myself. That way i'll feel extremly paranoid, tense and defenseless. Thats the keyword for the other type. "Defenseless".

Thats how FnaF works. Has anyone who bashes the game EVER get on the other side of the computer screen? Its not scary when someone *else* is playing it! Me, for example. The INSTANT i started playing and that the night began, my hands started sweating and trembling, and even hitting the door switch is a challenge in itself. It works so well because you are in a closed location(which can contribute to a claustrophobic feeling). You know what the monsters are, and you know they are coming for you, but you have pretty much NO means to defend yourself, and even looking for them can result in disaster with the limited power. There coming, and there's little you can do to stop them. If you still think thats not scary, go play it and then we talk.

Another thing they say is that the game series are being milked. Three games, no matter how fast, is not milked. Each game adds new things to the sequels without loosing the essence. Pokemon does it too, and nobody seems to be bashing. Wanna know whats milked? FPS games, for example. Destiny and Evolve can be classified as beautiful dissapoitments: games that offer very little in fun and replayability, yet a lot of people constantly praise them.

People have even reached the point to saying FnaF has the worse fanbase ever. Really...? Don't make me laugh. At least no Fnaf fan has Raped young girls, unlike the Sonic Fanbase. Yeah, the fanboys death threat those who dislike the series, but EVERY.SINGLE.FANBASE does that! The Sonic fans, the Microsoft fans, the MLP fans. Oh! Wanna hear a cool secret? everytime you bring up how much you hate Fnaf and how its everywhere, guess what, you're contributing to the thing you so much hate.

Yeah! The fanbase can irritate you, but thats what EVERY fanbase does, so don't bash one without bashing the other.

As for the Fnaf movie, guys. really? It HAS potential for a movie with backstory and lore ALONE! Fnaf is limited to the style as it is because of Scott's limitations. Don't you understand that a movie by WARNER FRUDGING BROTHERS will END said limitation?! And judging something without even seeing it is, in my opinion, a terrible thing to do.
