saw someone on twt talking about how 0004 ruined max and ruby’s legacy and i think that’s hilarious because compared to other cases this creepypasta hasn’t had as much as an effect on the public and it’s still a show that’s widely viewed without 0004 immediately coming to mind
arguably there’s plenty of others creepypastas of kids shows/stuff that are much more known and popular than 0004 (like squidward’s suicide and the insane fandom that is sonic exe) yet people still look at the original media and don’t immediately make jokes about the horror story. and if that’s really the case i just think you’d have to either be brainrotted or just had to have your first exposure to the original source through the creepypasta to alter the show’s “legacy” in your own eyes.
and that was definitely not the case for me because max and ruby’s a hood classic for me since i was like 4 lmao
