History Fridge / FiveNightsAtFreddysSisterLocation

* Don't Hold It Against Us.... You don't know what we've been through.... This could pretty much relate to ''all'' of the animatronics throughout the entire series. It's just... Baby might be the first one to be vocal about it....

** Or maybe because of the Bad Ending, in which you are gutted and used as a suit. They don't want you to hate them in your last moments. After all, they don't kill you out of hate, but because they will ''never'' escape from their mistreatment unless they leave the facility... which they can only do if they don't look like themselves.

** When listening to Baby's story, you get to know that she killed a girl without ''understanding how or why''. They don't ''want'' to kill; attacking someone when they are alone with them is a programmed or faulty part of their body that they have literally no control over. Don't hold it against them, it is literally not ''their'' fault.
** In a way, it's also a subtle line from the Bidybabs. After all, when they try to open your hiding place's door, you do hold it (closed) against them...

** Given most of the company has situations beyond their control happen, it isn't outside the realm of possibility that they were pressured/forced to make the DistaffCounterpart in order to avert claims of sexism.

* The title itself only makes sense when you understand the full context of the game. Circus Baby's Pizza World is the sister location to Freddy Fazbear's Pizza. However, that's a red herring, because it was shut down before it even had a chance to be opened to the public. The underground bunker where the main game takes place is not a sister location to Freddy's. It's only a place to store the CBPW animatronics for repair, analysis, safety, and legal reasons. That's why the company rents them out during the day. No, the place is a literal sister location: William Afton's daughter, who died when Baby acted on her murderous programming. How fitting, then, that the final revelation be that the player character is Michael Afton, the sibling required for that meaning to make sense?

** With this explanation, it's possible that Fazbear Entertainment also scouts out these types of people under the assumption that [[InsaneEqualsViolent those with their preferred qualities]] that they're more likely to be criminals. If all of their employees ''are'' criminals, then that gives a valid reason as to why the animatronics with facial recognition systems would hunt them down in the first place. It would also give the company an excuse to easily fire them, and an excuse as to why the animatronics would hunt down their employees. "Welp, [[BlatantLies we just looked through their records and found out that some of them were indeed of the criminal type. Whoops! Sorry]], we were desperate for new employees."

** Furthermore, programming issues aren't something that are easy to spot if you're unfamiliar with the code used for programming the machine. Technicians examining a machine wouldn't be going over the coding in the machine's CPU, either. With the mechanical issues in all of the animatronics, it would be easy to dismiss behavioral problems as something that could be fixed through maintenance and the occasional "motivational" action as this seems to fix whatever mechanical problems are causing the malfunctions. Even if they went over the code line-by-line, it would be nearly impossible to sort out that the machines are being ''intentionally'' programmed to be violent.

* It is very likely that the springlock suit the player is stuffed into on Night 4 is the one mentioned by Phone Guy in ''FNAF 3''. Phone Guy specifically mentioned a "sister location" when describing an incident involving a springlock suit failure, and it coincides with the "Out of Service" listing in the source codes containing a schedule for the animatronics. Baby seems to have been a witness of this incident, as she fully understands the danger of letting the springlocks come undone. This also indicates that Circus Baby's Pizza World was from the era of either Fredbear's Family Diner or the very first iteration of Freddy Fazbear's pizza. The only remaining questions are which character this springlock suit is (Chica is a good candidate; due to her absence, and the inside looking a bit like her beakless Toy form in ''FNAF 2'') and why this particular incident got all the springlock suits put away when the company already had a plan for springlock failures.

* The animatronics thinking they can escape notice just by [[GenuineHumanHide wearing the player's skin]] actually makes a lot of sense– it's an aversion of the [[ScrewLearningIHavePhlebotinum "gaining intelligence equals gaining knowledge"]] trope. They've developed sapience, but they have little to no understanding of biology; all they've figured out is that humans have skin on the outside, and the "important stuff" is inside. The only experience they have with anything like this is the plastic shells that go over their endoskeletons, which are removed by the Scooper and can be easily swapped and interchanged. From their perspective, with their limited understanding of how humans work, it's logical to deduce that they can use the Scooper to remove the human "shell" and then put it on themselves in the same way.

** However, William talking to his through the Fredbear toy requires a {{Retcon}}, making it unlikely.

*** It implies that whoever was in charge of Williams IronicHell added the nightmare animatronics to be ironic.
*** About that. Later material like the books bring up all sorts of possibilities, like [[BrownNote Illusion Discs]] that make creepy animatronics look like actual nightmare abominations, the Rockstar Animatronics that look suspiciuosly like the Nightmares, and [[EldritchAbomination animatronic-like beings born from agony and darkness.]] ''"This time, there is more than an illusion to fear."'' indeed...

* The name on the [=HandUnit=] is not a mistake, or even a continuity nod. "Mike" is Michael Afton, the son of William Afton. There are two Purple Men in the games: one is the child murderer William...while the other is his innocent son, who just wanted to free his sister. The man who gets scooped by Ennard to make room for themselves.

** Think about it. [[DarkAndTroubledPast Mr. Afton lost TWO children]] [[BreakTheCutie at the hands of the animatronics]]. That's got to [[AdultFear scar a parent for life]].
