'Phisnom' apologizes to Five Nights at Freddy's Plus fans, but calls to fire Phil Morg & cancel FNAF Plus from Fanverse continue

Phil Morg, more popularly recognized by his online alias Phisnom, is a video game developer credited with creating the widely acclaimed Five Nights at Freddy’s Plus.

The game has been in the headlines lately due to an unclear release date of Security Breach Ruin DLC for Xbox and Nintendo Switch players.

But now things have taken a turn for worse for ‘Phisnom’ after a series of events.

The saga began innocuously when Phisnom expressed his dislike for Security Breach Ruin DLC.

This is acceptable because he is entitled to his own opinion. Nevertheless, a person called Alex disagreed with him and tweeted ‘Can we all tweet this after FNAF+ releases? It’s only right’.

Unfortunately, the situation quickly escalated when some of Phil’s fans resorted to sending inappropriate and harmful content, including gore, to Alex, who is just a teenager.

Cyberbullying is never acceptable under any circumstances, and it is especially alarming when directed at young individuals who are still developing emotionally and mentally.

In the aftermath of the cyberbullying incident, Alex shared evidence of the harassment with Phisnom through an alternate account.

Instead of condemning the actions of his fans, Phisnom responded by mocking Alex.

After the backlash, Phisnom or Phil Morg attempted to address the situation with an apology video to Alex and FNAF Plus fans:

But instead of taking responsibility for his fans’ behavior, he included a Rick roll video in the apology, which was perceived as making fun of the serious situation.

Now, the second time ‘Phisnom’ has apologized to Five Nights at Freddy’s Plus fans but no one is buying it (1,2,3,4,5,6,7):

Users say that if he was sincere regarding this whole situation, he would have addressed it at the start. Now after making a mockery of the situation, he has taken things too far.

Consequently, the FNAF Plus community has grown frustrated and is calling for Phil’s removal from the project, as well as the cancelation of FNAF Plus from the Fanverse.

Please do not support phisnom or fnaf plus. he used a rickroll video to joke about a minor being sent a gore video and death threats. DO NOT SUPPORT HIM OR HIS GAME. #CancelFNAFPLUSFromFanverse
