Keep in mind that the Moon Children worship "Luna", the representation of, well, the moon. Was the moon in ''MajorasMask'' evil? No, it was a victim, like everyone else.

* Songs don't work anymore. And even if they did, it most likely wouldn't be the solution; when asked about playing the [=SoH=] backwards, Jad said that since it wasn't a song in MajorasMask, it wouldn't do anything. Saria's Song, while it is the right notes, is not in MM.

Think back to ''MajorasMask''. Where did you get the [[InfinityPlusOneSword Fierce Deity Mask]] that allowed you to [[CurbstompBattle curbstomp]] Majora? From the children on the moon. They weren't evil minions of the BigBad; they were trapped, and attempting to help you the only way they could.

Before getting a Nintendo Sixty-Four, Houlihan wrote a letter of complaint to Nintendo about how they turned the room with his name that he was promised in ALinkToThePast into a massive GuideDangIt. Rather then apologize to Chris, Nintendo staged a yard sale with a hacked copy of Majora's Mask for Houlihan to shut him up. The BEN hack is now spreading across the web to teach a lesson to Nintendo's UnpleasableFanbase as well.

[[WMG: Jad-the-author is [[MarbleHornets Alex Kralie]]]]
This is a tricky one, because it mixes IC and OOC (and would indicate that MarbleHornets actually takes place a few years from now), but just turn off your brain for a minute and think about it. When people experience something traumatic, don't some of them find that writing helps them get over it?

Based on the theory [[http://z13.invisionfree.com/WithinHubris/index.php?showtopic=48 in this section]] if the people in the forum are trapped and tormented. Playing the "Song of Healing" frees them. The Happy Mask Salesman (The Father) gets pissed because of it. But force ascended people still remain dead, just like in the game. it inhibits his plan in some unknown way. ]]

[[WMG: BEN isn't actually the bad guy here.]]
Think about it. In the four original videos, the Elegy Statue only twice showed up when Link was killed (both times in BEN.wmv), and didn't approach Link at all during jadusable.wmv except when the Elegy of Emptiness was played. BEN wasn't trying to hurt Jadusable after all - he was trying to lead him out of danger. A fuller explanation of this theory is [[http://z13.invisionfree.com/WithinHubris/index.php?showtopic=49 here]], including a alternative interpretation of BEN.wmv.

It's not my theory, but it's a pretty plausible one.
Think about it. In the four original videos, the Elegy Statue that seems to represent BEN only twice showed up when Link was killed (both times in BEN.wmv), and didn't approach Link at all during jadusable.wmv wmv, except when the Elegy of Emptiness was played. BEN wasn't trying to hurt Jadusable after all - he was trying to lead him out of danger. A fuller explanation of this theory is [[http://z13.invisionfree.com/WithinHubris/index.php?showtopic=49 here]], including a alternative interpretation of BEN.wmv.
And notice that Cleverbot never actually ''said'' that it was BEN, so it's entirely possible that the malevolent entity released onto the internet isn't BEN at all.

* Unlikely. Jadusable himself has stated that {{Nintendo}} has no hand in this. If he was lying and they ARE behind everything, then they will have gained several million awesomeness points. Once again, the chances of that being the truth are almost zero.

** Are we forgetting? He's already ''seen'' 4chan. That's where the story was originally posted, and undoubtedly the first people to download [=TheTruth=] were other regulars. It was probably the first site he landed in. I doubt anything that can be found there would shock him if it hasn't already, let alone enough to destroy him. Also keep in mind he's a CompleteMonster EldritchAbomination. So unfortunately, I don't think this is going to work. Not this time.

And not just any dog. When {{Chuggaaconroy}} was doing his Let's Play of Majora's Mask, he was frequently attacked by the dog in South Clock Town- ''right next to a pool.'' Pools are famous for being places people can drown in. The dog is obviously behind everything. Chugga, who knows of the ARG, discovered this somehow, and though he has decided to keep quiet about it, the dog wants to kill him to make sure he never tells anyone. (Unless he's wearing the goron mask.) After all, who suspected the dog? Not once, ever since the ARG started up, has anyone suggested that it was the dog. Those who did find out about it were promptly dealt with. The dog is the BEN entity that escaped onto the internet, and drowned Ben. YSHDT.net, the later arcs, the Moon Children, Kelbris, etc. are all just one big cover-up to distract anyone from the idea that the dog is behind everything. And then a man named Ryukaki began to stumble onto this information....

Seriously, look at any video on YouTube (and presumably other video sharing website) on Majora's Mask, or anything even remotely related to the ARG (like that video of a band that jadusable favorited), the comments sections are filled to the brim with Ben Drowned references. Heck, you even see them pop up in other creepy pasta videos. Those references are quite literally everywhere, and through them, so is BEN. So BEN isn't talking about people downloading him and giving him access to the Internet (after all, wouldn't have happened as soon as jadusable started uploading videos?) but about how people's fascination for this story is making his influence and power grow. His ultimate goal wasn't so much a physical domination as a cultural one, and we really, really shouldn't have done that.
