 How's it going everyone, welcome back to yet another video and welcome actually to a brand new series on the channel called Blocks Talks. The show where I give my two cents on some FNAF tea in the community and then ultimately no one's even going to care anymore after like half a week so whatever. Today's an interesting one though because you may have seen from the thumbnail but we're talking about a company that I actually just kind of praised in my latest FNAF In fact, I gave them such a shout out that they even left a comment saying wow that new merchandise looks pretty cool. Thank you for the shout out. Hey thank you Cloak for actually commenting on the video it means a lot and this is their official channel by the way. This is it, this is actually them. So if you're watching this video Cloak, hi, hello welcome back to the channel. So what exactly is going on, why am I all of a sudden going after Cloak after I just praised them in a FNAF news video? Well first off let me just fill people in if they actually don't know who Cloak is. Cloak is a clothing brand owned most prominently by Markiplier and Jacksepticeye and they're actually doing a new collaboration with FNAF. As you can see they got new shirts, pants, beanies apparently they're doing blankets too I just saw this tweet today. They're doing a whole bunch of stuff with this brand new collaboration and you know to promote it they actually uploaded a promotion video. Nothing out of the ordinary of course until you actually look at what was in that promotion video. This is actually a re-upload on YouTube that I found because of course they deleted the original video on Twitter which I don't blame them too we're going to get to that. So let's watch this video, let's figure out what's wrong with it, why did they have to take it down, it's going to be pretty clear right off the bat exactly why they took it down. So here we go. And just as a clarification the text you're seeing on screen was not in the original video. But I think by now you've probably picked up why the community was in a bit of an outrage. Wow, brand new FNAF animatronic, punk rock Freddy. Yeah so if you didn't notice already this video was posted to the official you know cloak Twitter page and every single render they used was a fan made render. Obviously not a good look so I don't blame them for taking it down. In fact if you really want to know just how many you know fan made renders they used Ellie, Stupid Butterfly actually compiled a Twitter thread of every single fan made render and they even linked back to the original artist which is amazing. I'm going to leave this thread down below if you want to go check out the artists and some of their renders that make pretty good stuff. So once cloak found out that they didn't use official renderers they actually did the right thing and they not only removed the post but also made an apology post which I'm going to say right now as much as I'm probably going to dog on cloak in this video this is amazing right here. Let's say we apologize for using fan renders without permission it's never our intent to not credit artists and we'll be sure to be more careful moving forward. Thank you all for pointing it out so we could take the post down before it hurt anyone. This is amazing not only did they issue a damn good apology they also did it as soon as they could once again I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt because they actually did the right thing here and they did it pretty quickly too. So besides hiding like one or two comments of people high you know calling them out in the comments this was a very professional thing to do so massive massive shout out and thank you to cloak for actually doing the right thing in this situation and usually that's where this whole thing would end right cloak made an oopsie but they ended up fixing their oopsie they issued a again very professional apology they handled the situation very professionally so why is this video still not done well it's because this has been a recurring issue in the FNAF community with these companies not just cloak by the way it also happens to for example Scholastic who could forget when the entirety basically of the Freddy Files updated edition had nothing but fan made renders and assets used in their pages like how do you mess that up and it's not just cloak and Scholastic Funko has also had their fair share of oopsies using a speed edit of a withered fun time Freddy on the box art for their sister location action figures but probably the most infamous case of all the time a fun time foxy render and spring Bonnie render from Pop goes memories was used for an official Scott games teaser for help wanted that is crazy Scott had to issue not only one but two apology posts on Reddit I think what's crazy about all of this is that all of these companies have direct contact with Scott and almost every single time they even have official renders already provided by Scott for example going back to cloak they had a previous FNAF collaboration wave where as you can see these are official renders of Chica foxy Bonnie and Freddy and also another character they used in the promotional video that they already have a render of from last wave Golden Freddy so these companies already have not only renders provided by Scott but also direct access to Scott so why can't they just call him up say hey you know can you give us a few renders we want to make a cool promotional video with all the Freddy's even Matt Pat from Game Theory has full official renders of some of the animatronics may have seen the full body scrap trap render that got a big FNAF news tweet the other week but it's not just scrap trap they also have Golden Freddy this tweet sums up pretty good this could be due to Matt Pat trying to avoid fan renders which of course they have done in the past as you can see they use another pop goes render in one of their Game Theory videos and also to make things a bit worse in one of their collaborations with FNAF with the creator Inc they use not only a fan made render but also it was a fan made render of someone's original character like how do you even mess that up it's not even an official FNAF character this is someone's OC that's crazy how do you mess that up I really don't know unless you just go to Google and you look up FNAF Bunny and there it is right there so at the end of the day to close it out conclusion I'm just confused clearly what's going on here is someone on the social media team you know the manager or the PR team just goes to Google they look up you know FNAF Bunny or like FNAF Freddy render and they grab like the first image they see on Google which as we've seen has never worked out so can we please stop doing that companies and I know Scott is kind of jokingly said huh maybe I should turn off their Google searches on their computers maybe you should I don't know these companies definitely do need to do a better job at realizing what they're using if it's official at the end of the day again you have contact with Scott I don't imagine he's that hard of a guy to get a hold of if you're doing an official collaboration with him so I'm not making this video to tell you guys like hey go dog on cloak because at the end of the day again they did the right thing they took the post down they issued a very professional apology I'm just making this video to hopefully bring more awareness to this issue because this has been happening for a long long time again the Freddy files incident the Funko sister location action figures the help wanted teaser the creator ink stuff like there's too many situations that this exact problem has happened in it shouldn't be happening so I'm hopeful that maybe this is going to get resolved but again because this has been happening so much I don't really see that you know I don't really see the problem being fixed anytime soon unfortunately but that's going to do it not only for this video but also any possible chances I had at collaborating with cloak in the future but thank you so much for watching if you have any other topics you'd want me to talk about feel free to let me know in the comments down below I have other topics lined up but also I'd love to talk about what you guys want to see me talk about that's gonna do it for this quick blocks talks video and I'll see you all on the flip side goodbye
