I know how in the show and on here we use famous stories as 'covers' for artifacts, such as Alice in Wonderland and Dante's Inferno.

With Halloween around the corner, I for fun have been researching 'Five Night at Freddies' as for my annual study of horror (where I learn as much as I can about a horror genre game/film series without actually playing or watching them).

Well, MatPat from Game Theory just posted a video today that draws shocking paralells between a real life crime and the plot of Five Nights at Freddy's. Essentially, the game appears to be an allegory for a shooting in Aurora, CO. where a former Chuck E Cheese employee Nathan Dunlap shot the five people who were working late.

Of the 4, only one survived, and was the damning evidence in proving Dunlap's guilt. He's currently on Death Row, but his execution date was recently pushed back.

The Paralells co-inside with the news clipping in the game that states how 5 kids went missing in Freddy's and how an employee of Freddy's was charged with their dissaparance. The four animatronics are the 4 vicitms that Dunlap shot while Golden Freddy, who represents the cook who survived, is limp and lifeless since he didn't die, and supposably hides in the blacked out kitchen security camera.

Okay, now that I have the backstory out of the way,  you have to admit there is strong artifact creation here. Whether it be for th Dunlap Shooting and FNaF was is a WH13 related cover-up or a FNaF Artifact fueled by the Dunlap Shooting, either way, I'm not sure if we should honor it with an artifact.

I know that we have a rule of thumb that we don't do disaster artifacts unless it's either a hero related to it or over a year (plus) later. This shooting was in in the 90's, and as far as I can tell, only MatPat has really made this connection with real life crime. MatPat even said that he in no way was going to make light of the shooting for his video, and he didn't.

So my question is: Should an artifact come from this or not?
