History YMMV / VsHexMod

* HilariousInHindsight: While they aren't a media conglomerate located in hell, a fanfic called ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/31765702/chapters/78631099 Living Life as Player 2]]'' has Hex's hackers not only be a separate organization from The Greater Good (the most prevalent {{Fanon}} at the time), but also named them IRIS. All before the Weekend update was released.

** Related to the above, before the Weekend update Jossed it, it is commonly believed that the red eye symbol represents [[VideoGame/VsWhitty The Greater Good]]. The connection was a theory born from the aforementioned stretch with no other basis that became so prevalent many mistook it as canon.

* CommonKnowledge: As a result of FanonWelding, it is commonly thought that this mod, ''VideoGame/VsWhitty'', ''VideoGame/TheTrickyMod'' and other mods where the red eye symbol appears are officially connected. [[note]]Whitty being friends with Hex notwithstanding[[/note]] In reality, the former is formulated on a stretch and the rest are {{Shout Out}}s. The fact that people from this mod worked on some of these other mods doesn’t help matters.

** The most common theory is that it is connected to the Greater Good, an organization that captures monsters. The reason for this is because you can allegedly see the same symbol in the background of ''VideoGame/VsWhitty''—the mod where the Greater Good came from--as graffiti in the main week. More concretely, the symbol appears after [[spoiler:Tricky gets captured]] in ''VideoGame/TheTrickyMod'', leading people to think the Greater Good had a hand in it. Ultimately, this theory is {{Jossed}}, as not only does IRIS have nothing to do with the Greater Good at all, but it isn’t operating like the Greater Good, as IRIS is a media conglomerate, not an organization who hunts monsters.

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: Then again, what did you expect from a ''VideoGame/FridayNightFunkin'' mod?
** [[https://youtu.be/cQ0db1egwp4 RAM]] is a chill yet exciting song. While it isn’t the first song in the week, it was the only song when the mod is just a replacement for Daddy Dearest’s week, and even with all of the other songs added, it still holds up.
** Even with the SurpriseDifficulty, [[https://youtu.be/i7AUVbEQ2wU Detected]] is very pleasing to listen to. It is high-paced ''and'' NintendoHard, which sets up the intense mood as you try to save Hex from IRIS once more.

* FanonWelding: IRIS’ symbol is subject to this ever since ''VideoGame/TheTrickyMod'' referenced it before ''Vs Hex Mod'' had its Weekend update, with the symbol's appearances in other mods further adding fuel to the fire.

The reason for this is because you can allegedly see the same symbol in the background of ''VideoGame/VsWhitty''—the mod where the Greater Good came from—as graffiti in the main week.[[note]]Even though looking closely, it doesn’t look like the symbol aside from being an eye symbol[[/note]] This theory is extremely popular that it became {{Fanon}}. \\\
Extending on this theory is [[spoiler:the aforementioned Tricky mod, where the eye appears as a cameo. If you have this theory in mind, then you can see why [[WebAnimation/MadnessCombat Tricky]] disappeared at the end: he was too dangerous, and had to be captured.]] \\\
Ultimately, this theory is {{Jossed}}, as not only does IRIS have nothing to do with the Greater Good at all, but it isn’t operating like the Greater Good, as IRIS is a media conglomerate, not an organization who hunts monsters.

* SurpriseDifficulty: Hex's week 1 is very chill, with the climax of "Glitcher" being slightly stressful at worst, and even "Cooling" isn't that bad. Then comes "[[ThatOneLevel Detected]]"….

* ThatOneLevel: [[SurpriseDifficulty Surprisingly for a chill mod]], "Detected". For starters, it is a modchart of the InterfaceScrew variety, made by the same charter for ''VideoGame/InTheGalaxy'', which includes — but not limited to — waving the judgement arrows around, moving it across the screen, changing the speed of arrows constantly and at one point, making the arrows disappear when it gets close to the judgement arrows, and so on and so forth to deliberately screw with the player perception. Oh, and you can only heal when you hit a "Sick!" rating. ''Have fun.''

* CanonWelding:
** [[VideoGame/VsWhitty Whitty]] is Hex’s best friend. In extension, [[VideoGame/VsCarol Carol]] is his friend too.
** Hex is a fan of Music/HatsuneMiku. According to [[WordOfGod the Gallery]], it is because the creator saw Hex cameo on [[VideoGame/ConcertConundrum Miku’s own mod]] and got the idea from that.

** Another theory which following isn’t as big as the Greater Good theory is that it is connected to the [[WesternAnimation/GravityFalls Society of the Blind Eye]], as their symbol is suspiciously similar to this mod’s red eye symbol.
