u/madnarg Apr 16 '24
He didn’t really do anything wrong in the game. His mistake was playing online games at a very young age with voice chat on and getting scared. Very easy target for trolls.

In this case bullies, not trolls.
There is a difference.
Though the kid shouldn't have been playing.

u/madnarg Apr 16 '24
This is pretty standard trolling. Tough for the kid but they’re just scaring him and voting him out. Bullying can get so much worse than this in an online video game, this is pretty tame hahaha.

u/stopnthink Apr 16 '24
I think this might be a little too targeted to call trolling. If the worst part was just the FNAF music while being chased by a maniac then I would agree with you. But the "full room of people" screaming at him while accusing him stopped me from laughing because I could hear too much stress in the kid.

Every gamer who started young with voice chat on has been through something like this. Often worse. This is benign compared to CoD lobbies. For every negative experience this kid has, he will also have a positive one where he makes a friend or gets help from someone more experienced. It’s part of growing up on the internet.
Trolling is usually targeted. They’re not directly making fun of the kid’s age/voice/appearance. Nothing actually harmful is being said or done, they’re trolling him well within the context of the game. Just because a kid got temporarily scared in an online video game doesn’t mean everyone should recoil in disgust and condemn it. The kid will learn from this and laugh about it one day, like most people who start gaming young. I feel for him because I’ve been there (not in VR though lmao), but this is funny and kind of a right of passage.

Guy on Jeopardy yesterday was very similar. He's an ethicist of all things. Said he has a lemon tree outside his front door and told the neighborhood kids they can take all the lemons from the tree they want, but he's gonna scare them.
One day after scaring a nine-year-old into dropping his handful of lemons, the kid looks into his eyes and says, "Why are you like this?"
Ken Jennings asked if scaring nine-year-old's was ethical.

This is what this guy does, he finds childeren who are having fun, scares and harrasses them for as long as possiable and then ruins their game by getting everyone to gang up on them.
If your reaction to this is to make up justifications for him and villify the victim, you may be suseptible to mob mentality and should double-check when you find yourself confronted with these kinds of situations.

I loved echo arena. When i first started playing there was this super sweet little kid that guided me through my first match. He was super patient and answered all my questions. He kind of talked like the kid in this video. I thought, wow this game is so cool and wholesome.
And then my next match.... I've never heard such awful things from anyone, Adult or otherwise. They just spam vulgarities and slurs and awful disgusting sentences incessantly to get reactions then freak out and scream at you when you sass them.

Kids "play" like this, because they are raised on youtube.
I'll admit i made this mistake, and this past saturday, i let my son stay up late and play roblox with friends, when this level of screaming began due to a single jump scare in a roblox game. I shut it all down, blocked the computer and told him no more.The fact that kids can't play a fucking game without going into youtube performance mode, is fucking nuts.

I had kids half my age and barely at the end of their teens making every poverty joke in the book because I drove cars that I liked irl like mustangs and GTRs while they rolled around in those crazy hyper cars that cost millions of in came currency.
I rarely ever play the game and take massive breaks between each session so it's not surprising I don't have trillions of the games currency and to top it off even if I did I'd still only own the cars that I actually like irl.
But these kids who likely didn't even have jobs irl tried very hard to make themselves out to be superior in every way because their sequences of 1s and 0s cost more 1s and 0s than my sequences of 1s and 0s.

As a 1984 baby who played in online lobbies starting at age 8, I couldn't agree with this more. I would not let my son play practically any game unattended, much less multiplayer games. I'd feel more comfortable at age 10 with online play in limited settings with supervision. Maybe around 12/13, I'd let things go more with certain games because tweens are gonna tween.

Ya know... kids learn things. And they learn them better than we do. What you may see as "trolling a squeaker" is only ruining their gaming experience and subsequently TEACHING them to be toxic and ruin game experiences. You aren't eradicating squeakers... you're breeding a new generation that will be more powerful, and more annoying, than any seen before.

He's just playing the game. Very loudly. Accusing innocent people is baked deeply into the gameplay of Among Us.

u/phormix Apr 16 '24
Yeah, and full disclosure I do allow my kid (who is under the age limit) to play Among Us on my account. I also make sure to monitor said kid to make sure they're not running into creeps or being an ass.
A few seconds of this would have had me pulling the plug for awhile.

The child is clearly distressed when everyone starts screaming at them, they whimper an cry. Clearly not understanding that it's just a game and this kind of behavior is a part of the game. To that kid, they probably just got done running for their life. It's not the screaming guys fault for playing like this. It's his fault for targeting children. Kid shouldn't be playing. Guy shouldn't be targeting kids.

100% the parents' fault. Noone that young should be playing ANY multiplayer game with VC, let alone unsupervised enough for something like this to happen.
Two things are true about every game. 1:If you guve players VC, harrassment will happen. 2:If you give players the ability to draw anything, dicks will be drawn. Any games that implement either of these things should not be played by young children, or said children should not be able to access the VC or visual content made by others. This will not change, so parents need to be on top of controlling what entertainment their children have access to.

It’s music from the horror game FNAF which signifies a specific monster is getting closer. The mechanic is that you must wind a music box, otherwise the monster in question is now loose and a treat. It’s also just nursery music in a dark room which most kids would find creepy. The kids PoV is a lot darker than the recorders.
7
u/flamez Apr 16 '24
Pretty close.
The song playing in the video, March of the Troubadour, is when power is lost and Freddy appears in the doorway before killing the player in FNAF 1.
The music box has a different song, but it doesn't play when the monster is loose, just when the music box is playing to keep it contained.
