<p>Well, in that case, if we are continuing the post, i think i should rewrite my comment about the proofs on this theory and adding some bonus research things [Spoilers ahead]
</p><p>1-In the freddy files i think theres a page on the SL section, which shows a photo of HandUnit and some text of information which says that "We play as Michael Afton, the older brother", however, i have heard that the freddy files have some fake information and a lot of fanart, so while i don't think this is a Mikebro proof, is still something i want point out
Bonus: Ok, i have been doing some researching and, in fact, The Freddy Files isn't a confident source, since it says that Afton (Scraptrap) and Scrap Baby are THEORIZED to be William and Elizabeth.
</p><p>2-While i belive the Mikevictim theory, im not too sure about Mikebot, however Scott wanted to end the story in fnaf 4; and which do we have to proof the Mikevictim theory with just that? Fnaf world and the novels (Wait, no! Don't stop reading! I swear is not dumbest as it may seem), in the Clock Ending of fnaf world, 8 Bit Fredbear says that we have to leave breadcrums for "him", since the beginning cutscene and the ending itself features 2 glowing eyes (the same as 8 bit fredbear's) saying "I will put you back together", we can assume that the 8 bit Fredbear is the PFF, and that "him" is the crying child.
Bonus: The Clock Ending Trophy is a silver crying child
</p><p>Now, the breadcrums are obviously the clock minigames, which are the same as the fnaf 3 minigames, that meaning that the crying child is the fnaf 3 guard. Also, the gameplay of fnaf 4 being similar to the fnaf 1's may hint to him being also Mike Smichdt; and since Mike and Fritz were fired for the same reasons, it hints to the Crying Child being Fritz as well (also, Scott said that the easter eggs on the fnaf 4 minigames seem random, but they aren't, so the inclusion of the toys may be a hint to it too); that by itself links Crying Child to all the games without even having Sister Location on our hands (4 games 1 story, like the fnaf world teaser).
</p><p>Now for the books, imagine that the games from Sister Location and onwards never existed, in that case, what the novels would help to solve? It wouldnt be the identity of the Marionette, because she was revealed to be Henry's daughter on ffps, and we know that scott made the novels partially canon, but still, made them with things to help us solve the lore; with that in mind, the novels maybe would help to support the mikebot theory.
</p><p>Now, lets get out of that hypotethical case and go back to reality: The mikebro theory was created after sl and before ffps, and almost everyone believed it, however, it was right after that when the logbook was released, therefore CREATING the MikeVictim theory. So, in a Mikebro point of view, the logbook was made to give a little more evidence to the theory, even if it was a strange and weird evidence; so, if that was the case, why would scott do it if everyone was believing that theory already? (Plus, the logbook evidence supporting Mikebro is less and weaker than the logbook evidence supporting Mikevictim)
Bonus: Also it wouldnt make sense to give weak evidence for a theory that everyone was believing because of Scott himself saying that Matpat's fnaf 1-SL timeline hit out of the park, but it would, in fact, make sense for giving strong evidence for the MikeVictim theory so he could correct one of Matpat's mistakes in the timeline.
</p><p>Bonus:
I'd like to talk a bit about Golden Freddy to debunk GoldenVictim:
The spirit in the logbook seems to be Golden Freddy's soul, and as many of you already know, this spirit is most likely Cassidy; however, one of the problems with this theory is TOYSNHK ("The One You Should Not Have Killed"), who seems to be Golden Freddy soul, but doesn't seems to be Cassidy because she is a girl with black hair and TOYSNHK is mentioned as He/Him and seems to be blonde.
For a long time i ignored this, thinking that the blonde hair maybe is just shiny hair (because if Scott would have tried to make the hair black, it wouldnt be visible) and the He/Him would be because Golden Freddy is a male character; but now, the story of "Fazbear Frights #3" called "The New Kid" is about a blonde blue eyed boy called Kelsey who dies springlocked in Golden Freddy, and TOYSNHK is a blonde boy with blue eyes (that last thing is if you invert the colors), also, Kelsey shakes violently inside the suit like Golden Freddy does in the UCN Cutscene.
Now, am i saying that Cassidy isnt Golden Freddy? No, im saying that, in fact, both Kelsey and Cassidy posess Golden Freddy, in the ending of "The New Kid" the protagonist comes back to Freddy's because he is unsure if Kelsey actually died, he looks inside the suit but he can't find him and he tries to see if his corpse is deeper inside the suit so he puts his arm inside the mouth of Golden Freddy trying to touch the corpse, the springlocks fail and chomp his arm and while he is bleeding he tries to have a last look inside the suit and he indeed sees a corpse, but this one is black haired.
Also, if Mikevictim is to be believed, the owner of the logbook was the crying child, and in the page about the happiest day minigame theres a picture of Marionette giving cake to a Girl with black hair and golden pigtails, who is the only human on the whole book and is believed to be Cassidy; in that same page Cassidy writes "The party was for you" which doesnt makes sense if Mike were the Big Brother, but it would make a lot of sense if Mike were ghe Crying Child, since the Happiest Day Minigame map is a reverted version of FFD's map in fnaf 4 minigames, which means that in that minigame the friends of the crying child are celebrating the party he never managed to have. Also the Crying Child can't be the Golden Freddy Soul (or any of the other souls) in that minigame because Cassidy wouldn't be telling him that the party was por him. Now you may say ¿If your theory is true, then why isn't another child with a Golden Freddy mask in the minigame to represent Kelsey? And the answer is pretty simple, because the whole point of Happiest Day is the souls being free but Kelsey doesnt want to rest, he just wants to torture William (like we see in ucn).
To explain this better, let's imagine that Golden Freddy is just haunted by Cassidy, she along with the others is freed in happiest day, if she wanted to be free, why she suddenly wants to stay a torture William forever? That's really bipolar, however, it would make sense if Golden Freddy is posessed by two spirits, because just one of them (Cassidy) is freed in happiest day, meaning that is the other spirit (Kelsey) the one who tortures William forever.
