“I can’t sleep, I can’t eat, I can’t do anything right now.”

“IShowSpeed had a canon event,” wrote another user, referencing the Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse film.
And a parent fumed: “My 11-year-old son and 13-year-old daughter are both huge IShowSpeed fans. After seeing him just show his d*ng to all of his viewers, I speak for all parents when I say that we will not tolerate this.
“Ours kids will no longer watch his streams and are unsubscribing to his channel.”

“It was a joke,” said Sneako.
Many fans speculated that Speed might get banned from the platform right after making his big comeback.
According to YouTube, content that includes “the depiction of clothed or unclothed genitals, breasts, or buttocks that are meant for sexual gratification,” is banned, including “the depiction of sexual acts, or fetishes that are meant for sexual gratification.”
At the time of writing, Speed’s YouTube account is still active, however, fans are sure that it won’t be long until it gets hit with a ban.

What is Five Nights at Freddy’s game about?
To the gaming community, FNAF is not a new addition to the number of video games many streamers and gamers play online.
FNAF (real name: Five Nights at Freddy’s) was created by Scott Cawthon and the first video game of the same name was released on August 8, 2014, and the resultant series has since gained worldwide popularity.
Five Nights at Freddy’s is a video game series that is all about heart-pounding jump-scares. It’s rated 12+, so it’s not quite suitable for many preteen players. That said, the series forgoes the blood, gore, and violence typically associated with the horror genre in favor of innocent (if still pretty terrifying) shocks.
Another side of the popular game is that, it’s an unabashed horror game, dedicated to frightening its fans at every opportunity.
The horror aspect of it came out of fear, not only from the animatronics hunting you but from the helpless feeling you have since you couldn’t run away. There was implied violence in the first game, especially as people delved into the secrets the game was hiding, but nothing was shown on screen. A lot of things in FNAF are easily missable, and the series has deep lore beneath its scares.
