#he developed more general awareness post-AvA4

I like to think the destruction they caused is quite infamous in the programming/graphic design/web design/indie game/animation communities, as well as among the stickfigures and other animations who were victimized in the attacks. We know that refreshing a website can bring back stickfigures of that website whose processes were ended, as well as fix destruction caused to the webpage itself, but who knows if anything got deleted or corrupted in the attacks. Heck, indie developers might’ve taken down games that were being hosted on targeted sites, to repair them or out of fear that they might be damaged, and any animations of that game would be cut off from friends they’d made on the site. Heaven forbid one of the game characters was outside of the game when it got taken down (shoutout to Sammy8D’s old headcanon).

We still don’t have confirmation that Chosen’s and Dark’s destruction ever reached the outernet or any stick-cities, as far as I know. They might’ve kept it to the internet and websites. (And the interspace, if you use the term like I do to refer to the plane beyond the surface of web pages that animations can traverse but human users can’t; I know some people use the term interchangeably with outernet.) However, we also don’t know King’s backstory before Gold was at least old enough to walk, so it’s possible they might not have always lived in the outernet, in which case…

thinking about how chosens and darks existence and crimes were perceived in the internet and outernet. did they become a regular occurence there or something. JUST WHAT did other sticks think about them

if the timeline of golds death combined with darks supposed destruction of the internet this is probably how king would react
