The most horrific fact about the hour of joy, is that many of the people attacked had nothing to do with the experiments.
Imagine you're a regular factory worker, then all of a sudden the 'animatronics' suddenly come alive and attacks people.

[Neptunefordogs]

the hour of joy really scared me ngl, it explains a lot of lore tho, and it's really important if you want to get into it (the lore) Dogday in the game says catnap did that to him because he probably didn't slaughter the workers like the other toys. When poppy lets you see "the hour of joy" tape it doesnt have Dogday in it, So that's probably why Catnap did that to him.

It’s crazy to think that the mc we follow was just a lucky survive only because he quit earlier than most of the employees and why the toy factory probably went out of commission was due to the outside world probably shutting it down and the promotional team i personally feel would’ve been the reason for this and they moved on from the factory leaving whatever was inside to stay inside

"Nobody's gonna save you. This prison is where you belong" they said, "we'll let you out here and there to see the kids in Playcare but your home is here. THIS is your life now. Get used to it" oh boy. If someone said this to me after causing me so much pain and reducing my quality of living to a mistreated animal exhibit I'd definitely be feeling murderous.

12:12 Mommy long legs is a kid! In chapter 2 we can find a note about experiment 1222 (mommy long legs) and that the child that was assigned to it was called Marie Payne. Later in the chapter 3 arg we got an incident report from Claire Harper saying that the child in her care, Marie Payne was experiencing weird and violent nightmares from the red gas. We can also see this in game since it’s the first vhs we find

The hour of joy would be terrifying thing to experience, just the thought of seeing others be slaughtered before you or eaten alive must had been terrifying

[iamfabulousfaaab]

I think the hour of joy was justified.... until they started to kill innocent people. However, I believe since the souls were that of children, and children don't have a clear perception versus a full grown adult with experience, they may not have known who was evil and who was really innocent. It was almost guilty by association. But overall, I know irl what it is like to be ab-used as a kid and it's cruel for any child to be subjected to horrific things. The hour of joy was essentially all of the evil scientists' fault and they're the reason that so many other innocent workers had the same fate. It's a very intriguing story nonetheless.

I have theory, my theory is twisted So,

I think all Poppy, Ollie and prototype are teamed up. I'll describe it in points:

1. In the first game you get a letter that letter shows poppy's location, where catnap had trapped poppy. Poppy was trapped so she couldn't send the letter.

2. In all three of games neither poppy nor prototype is hostile to the player, it hints that prototype wants a host or soul or something from player.

3. And we have seen that prototype only goes for dead mascots or those mascot who are verge on death. So prototype wouldn't kill or hurt kissy. There is probably another experiment that possess threat to poppy and prototype's team

[neofulcrum]

It’s hard to feel bad for the scientists that were slaughtered since they had carte Blanche to create these monsters. But everyone else who didn’t know, shouldn’t have been massacred.

[zaylaxer]

idk why scientists didnt kill the prototype i mean he was literally dangerous and they could kill all the dolls that didnt match their experiments

[mizzourita]

I find this story so fascinating but the realist in me keeps wanting to know how no one from the government has been out to examine the buildings because someone's got to pay property taxes and I'm assuming the last electric bill hasn't been paid either lol

[dorkchops]

What made it worse for me was the fact that it happened during lunchtime

[MillieBlackRose]

"an alarming willingness to commit violence." Uh look at what you do to them.

[ItsB]

I see the hour of joy as a necessary evil for freedom of the children. Like Gamesault pointed out, the prototype and the others wouldn't have any way of knowing which employees was good from evil, so they just had to attack them all to end the torment and plans of the evil employees. It's unfortunate that innocent people had to be involved, but it had to be done in the long run to save other kids.

Also catnap was the one that was killing everyone who opposed the prototype. We don't know if the prototype himself wanted that

[redballet]

Marie was confirmed to be a child in both chapter 2 and 3, an older one, but a child nonetheless.

What confuses me is the scientist said that huggy wuggy was a successful experiment because he's "obedient", but in the hour of joy huggy wuggy participating in the massacre, so was huggy obedience just a fake front?

Wouldn’t it have been hilarious if instead of quitting for moral reasons, Mc just called in sick from like bad tacos the night before, and saw the doors locked the day after and was just like “oh, guess it closed down”

[flocbwu]

Marie Paine is a kid not an adult, there’s a note from her adopted mother that explains that and the orphanage program was before the experiments took place and was still operating even after that, I think Eliot actually wanted to help children, but after his death the company saw them as supply of test subjects and because they can’t explain to the public what happened to the children after the closure of the program they left it open, giving some of the children away but still experimenting on the rest, I also don’t think the Prototype killed everyone opposing his control, Catnap became a fanatic and did that, but we don’t know if the Prototype approves of his actions maybe that’s why he killed him

this is beyond something Doc mcstuffins can help with 😔
