>>42487115That all sounds a bit astroturfed if it happened like that.
So, endless empty office space as the ultimate hell? Makes sense. What is an office anyhow? And when not in use?
I'm still impressed by how a niche 4chan thread has inspired a hollywood movie
>>42487115Nah its just that its set up allows a ton of flexibility.There could be anything inside there, leading to a whole range of possible stuff. This was a big fuel for the whole luminal space horror genre. Its just such a simple template with a huge range of possibilities that it spawned a ton of other variations and nonsense.
>>42487289Most people don't even know it's from 4chan, it's like SCP except way less creative. It gains traction, someone makes a youtube series, then a bunch of crappy Steam games are made, then that youtuber makes a movie.
Also, anons always talk about how zoomers and redditors 'ruined' the backrooms with reference to levels, enitites, etc, but redditors and even anons in May 2019 are already posting about these things. It's almost like there's some weird mandela effect/false memories which people have about the meme of the backrooms.
I heard there's a movie coming up based on backrooms

>>42487289most normalfaggots think it's a video game lmao
The red-pill on the backrooms, is that the backrooms are just Hell, the people that no-clipped are just people who died suddenly and the beings inside are just demons.
