I'm pretty sure we recently explicitly prohibited reference captions like this.

I believe they're not allowed, so I'd say cut 'em.

here's the thread where we decided to remove captions like these.

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?.
