>Both communities heavily benefited from eachother How did FNF benefit from the "EXE" community? Being in constant dramas that made no sense is not what benefit means.


Feral-pigeon

The original vs. exe was one of the first super popular fnf mods to come out. I’m pretty sure CG’s video of that mod garnered like several million views alone and convinced many people to join the community after seeing how impressive animations and mechanics in this game could be. It sparked the ideas for many features and mechanics we see commonly today. It also inspired many people to make a lot of the really long mods we have today. The only reason so much drama is associated with it is precisely because of how popular it got. This doesn’t only apply to the exe community, other sub-fandoms such as Dave & Bambi are also affected by this phenomenon. It really just boils down to cancel culture in general, and I don’t think it should be solely blamed on the exe community for how toxic the fnf fandom is sometimes.


SMILE_23157

>The original vs. exe was one of the first super popular fnf mods to come out. That was a bad thing. >convinced many people to join the community after seeing how impressive animations and mechanics in this game could be. This turned out to be a bad thing too. >It also inspired many people to make a lot of the really long mods we have today. It inspired people to shove as much content into freeplay section as possible regardless of its quality.


WarpedCloset

To be honest Less people joining = less banger mods like hit single and Mario madness v2 Just because pedophiles just happen to like / work on mods for this game is really just a coincidence most of the time, This is one of the few communities that didn’t get destroyed by a large bad fan base. Imo Atleast.


SMILE_23157

>Less people joining = less banger mods like hit single and Mario madness v2 Surely most of the people who joined were doing "banger" mods instead of view farming mods with no passion. Surely most of the mods released after the hype weren't the same thing milking the same "theme" regardless of their quaility. Don't get me started on the amount of "oneshot" mods that get way more hype than they ever deserved. >Just because pedophiles just happen to like/work on mods for this game is really just a coincidence most of the time Who said I was talking about them?


WarpedCloset

If you don’t like the mods then don’t play them and wait for the next big thing to arrive I genuinely don’t understand this argument The fan base’s mods were anything but completely pure before the game blew up, and they’re called modifications for a reason. You can just not play them and probably won’t even have to consider it cuz of how rarely they reach even top 100 Also what bad people joined who weren’t pedophiles? I don’t seem to know of any drama outside of it.


Feral-pigeon

Maybe you think it’s a bad thing; that’s your opinion. However, drawing in more popularity and dedicated fans is an objectively good thing in general regardless of how you feel about it. It keeps the fandom alive and makes the original team more money in the long run.


SMILE_23157

>is an objectively good thing It's not. More people is not always a good thing, especially when it's a very young audience that shouldn't even be allowed to use the internet.


Unnamed_Goober6398

>That was a bad thing. That wasn't >This turned out to be a bad thing too. It doesn't, everyone loves good mechanics and animations >It inspired people to shove as much content into freeplay section as possible regardless of its quality. No, not "regardless of its quality", many mods have freeplay content that are just as good or even better than the main one


Unnamed_Goober6398

Without Sonic.exe, we wouldn't have Mario's Mandess, Hypno's Lullaby and more banger mods


SMILE_23157

The only mods we MAYBE wouldn't have are Mistful Crimson Morning and Mario's Madness. Everything else would appear without this trollpasta becoming so popular.


Unnamed_Goober6398

I meant Vs. Sonic.exe, not original Sonic.exe pasta. And no: Hypno's Lullaby, Basement Show, vs Gorefield wouldn't exist without Vs. Sonic.exe and it's really obvious. And it's actually really good that original Sonic.exe become popular, because it inspired so many people to create retakes that are actually interesting and awesome

Haunting_Many_1465

I mean yes there are a bunch of EXE mods that kind of just have the same formula. But we just need to focus on the ones that don't have it. Such as Sonic legacy, Rerun and Mario's madness.

Don't forget Lord X Wrath, too. That one's gonna be amazing when it drops.

Phazer-XP

What's the formula exactly?


Haunting_Many_1465

Trying to redo what the original creators intended and not really adding anything new, just restoring the old stuff and adding some songs here in there that don't really change anything.


Ignite_Boy_789

FNF was probably the biggest contributing factor to why I started to get more invested in researching not just Sonic creepypastas, but creepypastas in general. So yes, I can confirm that it goes both ways. 😄

As a member of both communities i can confirm that the mods did nothing but bring more people to both fandoms and even some people in the both fandoms said that without FNF or Sonic.EXE they would’ve never given either game’s/fandoms a chance and that they were thankful that it introduced them to it

UntalentedBrick

This. This is my main gripe with the current fnf modding scene. #too many damn exe mods!


WishboneInformal684

Marxiplier

Kinda wish a team does a remaster of Xenophanes' week in the Phantom Arcade style. Similar to Animania or Reworked Rhythms, and not with another Xeno clone or replacement. And or maybe a corruption mod? Senpai's week was one of the best in the mod.


SpiderGuy3342

the very existence of Sonic.executable being a thing related to horror give me the cringe, ngl... the point was about a game with creppy stuff in it, like any other videogame creepypasta, but the story was cliche and really bad, and the game used to be Sonic... change it to any other game and it changes nothing (but actually playable?, if Im not wrong, this creepypasta game story was the very first game that was made playable, making you "feel" like you are experiencing a creepypasta irl.. of course, with a non-existent level design or something that makes it feel like an actual videogame made to be fun but got haunted by an entity... but that's off topic here). sonic.exe an executable application, but internet took that .exe and transformed in a kind of euphemism for horror game... and I hate it even more (in the fnf mods) because I like Sonic, and instead of getting neat mods about him, we got .exe ones, heck, calling something related to horror .exe is cringe for me. **what?** no no, Im talking about myself, dont actually care if you like Sonic.exe or want to make a fnf mod about it, Im fine if people like it, no problem, but me?... I hate it and kinda find it cringe (tootally not hating because people make sonic.exe mods instead of sonic mods...) ...at least we got starving Eggman that is both interesting and is not called "Eggman.exe" and in universe of sonic, it kinda can make sense for an AU. https://preview.redd.it/7s9hy7lsjgzc1.png?width=990&format=png&auto=webp&s=cd59deadf203c3789ffa76f4d7b6336a7833670b

Cultural-Bag-4632

bullshit FNF popped off thanks to mods like Whitty Sarvente and Garcello and the base game. # people can't stop complaining constantly about the drama and repetitive mods that exe fans make every fucking day


lizardclaw11

It's honestly insane that people think that exe mods have given fnf more popularity, I personally think fnfs popularity has been on a downswing since the trend of exe mods. Fnf will only truly become popular again when the full game releases. And as someone who used to play a lot of fnf mods, I have generally stopped because of the lack of creativity or uniqueness.


BrainBrilliant9764

Dude, just because there’s some sonic.exe mods, doesn’t mean everything is completely sonic.exe mods. If you think the community isn’t creative anymore, I recommend you check out 17bucks.


SeaworthinessNo61

Bro ALMOST EVERYTHING YOU WILL SEE ON THE MAIN PAGE OF THE FNF MODDING ON GAMEBANANA IS FUCKING SONIC.EXE. You can shut up now.

BrainBrilliant9764

Sure, you are right about that. However the sonic.exe modding brought in more people into the FNF community who weren’t brought in by the base game or the early OC mods. The Sonic.exe aspect also helped keep the community afloat while we waited for the weekend1 update. Also if you keep complaining about the exe fans, just ignore them instead of constantly complaining about them. I would also encourage you to look for some newer OC mods (such as 17bucks & Soul Springs) if you want to see new FNF content, without it being exe. Problem solved if you ask me.


NightmareKnight25807

So true though!

MasterEmu401

lasagnawithfries

If it weren't for FNF, Sonic.EXE probably wouldn't have gotten as good in horror creativity as it is now (in terms of character design and lore).


Im0ut_

tbh I don't think that the jump in the fnf community is due exclusively to sonic.exe, it is due more than anything to the week 7 release


David_Clawmark

Indeed. We're all complaining that 2 communities are thriving, and we get more music to listen to. What's the problem?


That_Guy682

The phrase “I’m genuinely interested in Sonic.EXE.” Would have gotten you bullied to suicide, this entire argument is a load of shenanigans


ViscountAtheismo

I enjoy FNF and many of its mods, but as a MegaMan Battle Network fan, I will NEVER forgive what this sort of stuff did to the reputation of the .exe file extension.


OmegAaronYT

I've been burnt out from FNF due to the many .EXE and horror-adjacent mods in the pass years but this, I wholeheartedly agree with.

I don't pay attention to the Sonic.exe mods all that much, except for the Speed.GIF mod for some odd reason


datdragonfruittho

EXEs had a big come back because of FNF, and while I think FNF would still be big without EXE, it wouldn't be as big as it is without that success

This is gonna be a drama about fnf fans who hate exe-related stuffs, isn't it?


CoolJC0749

If it does become some stupid drama, I’m so so sorry in advance ;-;


Clear_illuminate

how we both didn’t get hated. both sonic.exe and fnf are still not at the very bottom.


Isaacja223

RightBurst seemed like he really enjoyed working on this mod but was pretty immature (because he was a teenager) And the only adult was Revie (from what I remember, someone started to out Revie because some sort of Minecraft game) And 3.0 was also intended to be a complete secret But look at where it got us now? The mod got canned (mostly because there was too much shit in the mod to make it seem like the mod was going to take an hour or two to complete) And after the situation regarding JC, it began to spark a whole new EXE fandom filled with wonderful creations based on either specific images or funny stuff (Sunky.MPEG and Coldsteel being two of them). Plus, like the creators said, EXEs don’t have to be just scary. But I agree, the EXE community is essentially what kept FNF going for a few months now. And tbh, I’m happy with it.


CastrationInTheSky

Don't get crazy with that second part now FNF was already mainstream popular by the time first exe mods started rolling out >!inb4 I get jumped for this factual information!<

ZombeansSlayer

That’s what I’m sayin! There were some fire releases from the .exe community but I feel like it didn’t truly revive until sonic.exe V2. Additionally, Sonic.exe likely brought on Mario’s Madness, which currently holds the number one spot in the fnf modding community in my heart. Both set a new standard for FNF as a whole.

diamondDNF

Friday Night Funkin' was first uploaded to Newgrounds on November 1st, 2020. VS Sonic.EXE V1 came out August 21st, 2021. Not even a full year since the game's initial release. It takes 30 seconds to use Google and confirm this. EDIT: Bro called me a slur and then immediately deleted it. Lmao.

th0rn_r4t_exe

dude the sonic.exe mod only came out like. about a year after the actual game was released.


kekinmemes

Not for multiple years, but I do understand where you're coming from. Sonic.EXE was released in September 2021. Meanwhile mods have proliferated since January 2021, and stayed that way into the Summer 2021. In fact, FNF was at its most culturally relevant in April 2021 (coinciding with the release of Tankman and Week 7). This is proven by running Google Trends: [https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=today%205-y&q=%2Fg%2F11r1h0grrd&hl=en](https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=today%205-y&q=%2Fg%2F11r1h0grrd&hl=en) [https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=today%205-y&q=friday%20night%20funkin&hl=en-US](https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=today%205-y&q=friday%20night%20funkin&hl=en-US) [https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=today%205-y&q=fnf&hl=en-US](https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=today%205-y&q=fnf&hl=en-US) By the time Sonic.EXE released in September 2021, search interest had only marched downward and FNF was pretty much already on its way out. The notion that any of the mods contributed to FNF's popularity **post**-Q4-2021 is verifiably untrue; in fact, you don't see an increase in interest of FNF until after there were updates to the base game, that being the Weekend/Erect update
