It's been a few months since Silent Hill Ascension, an interactive series, debuted. Unfortunately, the program has had a very low number of views and has received a lot of criticism for its quality. One of the newest chapters has now made headlines for introducing some controversial new lore.

Spoilers below if you even care:

The game revealed that the cult called The Foundation discovered in the past that love is the key to combating the effects of SIlent Hill. The problem is that simple love isn't enough to protect everyone, so the cult invented the Fusion Ceremony, where everyone in the cult takes part in daily orgies to fend off Silent Hill Monsters.

The leader then asks Eric, one of the protagonists of the series, to take part in the ceremony, saying that he needs to "share himself with the entire Foundation", which he claims will bring clarity and enlightenment, as well as strengthening the defenses against the mist.



As expected, fans didn't like the revelationat all, especially considering that Konami confirmed the game to be canonical within the Silent Hill universe.

I can twist it in some way so it can work with SH 1,2 and 4 but how is it even possible in 3? It’s a different emotion that Heather is going through in 3.

That sounds incredibly stupid. Like someone decided to take the laziest, most sensational idea in their head and write it in.

[Flabagast]

Fans can be so dumb sometimes lmao

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

Japan doesn't see canon the same way the West does. In Japan, canon change all the time, because they don't really believe in the concept of Dogma. You can disregard anything you don't like, that's the way Japanese fans handle it. That is the freedom of a polytheistic society.

By the way, you know what else is canon? The Dog Ending.

I seriously think this is a case of miscommunication between cultures. Saying "This is canon" just means it may have happened.

No. That’s like saying the UFO ending in SH1 is canon when there is only 1 ending possible that leads to SH3.

"Come on, bro. Please let us all gangbang you, bro... You don't want the monsters to appear again and start killing everyone, right!? Getting your ass blasted to oblivion and back is the only way to prevent this from happening, bro."

Fuck Genvid and everyone involved in making this.

 

[ssringo]

So glad I peaced out of this franchise after 3.

lol, well, if anything, "Fusion Ceremony" is a fantastic name for an orgy.

 

[TheInfamousKira]

I want Harry and James to Fuse and become Jarry.

 

[kunonabi]

This is dumb as is the shit they're pulling with Short Message but Konami has been shitting on canon since Silent Hill 4 so it really doesn't matter at this point.

I'm both amazed that this is actually still running and that enough people are paying attention for this to be noticed by SH fans.

 

[nkarafo]

love is the key

orgies

Love = sex?

 

[RagnarokIV]

That monkey paw wish for Silent Hill to return just keeps on fucking giving...

 

[Insane Metal]

Well, challenge accepted!

 

[Dr.Morris79]

I do find it amazing that you have one of the best psychological game series' to come around in years (SH 1, 2, 3) get utterly bum fucked by hacks and creative vacuums year after year.

Are these people not meant to be 'academic' (Heh)? This is the best they come up with?

Fucking charlatans, the lot of them.

I guess it's the same with all media now, creative vampires taking great I.P's and shitting on them because they're vacuous sorts. Why come up with original stories, lore, characters when you can just shit on everything and pretend you're good at your job

Easy money low effort nonsense.

Garbage.

That explains the Pyramid head rape scene.

Actually it is one of the most efficient schemes used by real life cults to bring in people !
