Fucking hell am I disturbed...

Goodness me, OP, it sounds like you're very much bottom of the pecking order in your house!

Your DH won't control his son but he's perfectly happy to control you!

FNAF is quite tame as far as horror game back stories go, it's just silly shock horror like Slenderman or any of the old classic Creepypastas.

Advise you don't read the synopses when he starts playing proper horror games in a few years if you found FNAF disturbing!

We've also watched Life of Brian though I did skip through parts of it as I know the film very well. You seem opposed to that as well.
You're not able to stop your child from bypassing parental controls at this age. Trying to imagine what he's watching and deleting from his history, well, I don’t want to go there but you bloody well should. Do you forget that there's worse stuff on the internet for a teenage boy to watch than reading about horror lore? There's a whole lot of issues there that are more important than lore that's mostly detailed in the books.
But there's nothing you can do, right?

DD started getting into it about age 8. I read up on it and thought it was too much for her age so I kept her away from it until she was older. She's now 12 and back into it (I was reading Point Horrors back to back from the age of about 9 after devouring Goosebumps). We've got all of the FNAF books and I've read them all myself as they piqued my own interest. We both loved the film. The kids in her classes through the years have been exposed to much worse.

My son did something similar😆 At first,when he read the back story he was freaked out. But then he started to write fake newspaper reports and little investigative pieces about what might have happened. Complete with diagrams and illustrations. It really fired his imagination. He had a similar obsession with Bendy and the Ink Machine.

Firstly - why would he do that? So if a child is deliberately being sneaky and sly and rude by going against the rules and boundaries set, he would do nothing about that? No consequences for the child? No boundaries?
If that’s the case then you have far far more to worry about longer term than a computer game.
Secondly, how on Earth can you me married to someone who undermines your parenting? Are you in a partnership or dictatorship? Don’t you discuss and agree parenting principles together?

With respect - unless he is about to work for GCHQ as the youngest professional hacker, you just have rubbish filters and passwords.

If you’re not too fussed about him playing - all good. Just dont say he can crack any filters.

Oh and didn't the ugly sisters in Cinderella cut their toes off so their feet would fit the glass slippers?

That donkey scene used to really freak me out..

That and all kinds of war novels as part of normal reading list.
14y olds are not babies.

Just remember that in Pinocchio, kids are lured to be transformed into donkeys and then the old man ends up being eaten by a whale and then regurgitated, so pizza-mascot-kids, why not?

I was 13/14/15 when I watched The Ring, Grudge, Jeepers Creepers, Psycho etc.
The film that really fucked me up was The talented Mr Ripley.

I’ve been more careful with my kids than my parents were with me (and they were fab, but liberal parents) but am open with most films.

Games however I’m very careful with (OH and I game (ESO/GW2) so it’s a big part of our lives as a family. The kids respect the rules about gun games and how long they can play in a go.

If one of mine fucked over rules and computer restrictions then they wouldn’t be using any device unless they were physically with me (and only for school work.) him being competent at getting past your restrictions isn’t the flex you think it is. It’s disgusting behaviour.
I’d hate a computer in my kitchen so thank fuck we have respect.

I would personally be more disturbed by the fact that neither your son or husband seem to have much respect for you! I would want parental controls on devices & if my child disabled them, they would no longer be playing at all.

Agree with this. Give over. I loved crash bandicoot but also used to play grand theft auto as a teenager. And Blood and Duke Nukem on the pc which were horribly violent . I don’t beat up prostitutes and steal their money now in real life.

It’s a game . They have a movie too . Pretty grim backstory , but it’s aimed at young teens and there isn’t anything really bad in the games . You can buy toys at Smyths ! My son is 10 and likes it .

Not as bad as GTA where characters go and pay prostitues !

You know your own child, and you know if he's likely to be disturbed by the content - and it doesn't sound like he is. When I let DS start watching horror films ( he was a few years younger than he should have been) I banned a few -:but if I'm honest it's because they scared ME, not him!

Give over, I'm 46 and we all watched Friday the 13, freddy, Halloween etc at that age and we aren't a generation of mass murderers

Fnaf has been out for 10 years now, there's already a generation of kids that played it who are now adults

Is Five Nights at Freddy's still around? My youngest son used to play this when he was about OP's son's age. He is 23 now.

I didn’t think it was gory at all! Apart from a couple of jump scares, even my 9 year old wasn’t bothered
