I'm pretty sure we recently explicitly prohibited reference captions like this.
"Grandmaster Combat, son!"Umm, I would like to ask, though: What about references to the original material? Spooky's game is, by itself, full of references, so what about references to the game of origin said characters were based upon? For example: Specimen 6 (Ben/The Merchant) was partially based on the Ben Drowned creepypasta, so would its caption fit, seeing how its also referencing its origin?.

In Characters.Spookys Jump Scare Mansion, each of the character pictures have a caption with a quote that doesn’t actually reference the work itself, but serves as a Shout-Out to another work maybe tangentially related to the picture (for example, the caption for Specimen 2, a slime monster, references Ghostbusters (1984)). Is this acceptable, or should they be removed on account of having nothing to do with the actual work?
