'''Fictional googlology''' ('''FG | '''Fictional googlology''' ('''FG''') is the niche hobby of creating fictional numbers, often above an absolute value of [w:Absolute Infinite] or below 0, often assigning {{wp|Unicode|Unicode}} characters to them. Fictional googology was common, as well as widely accepted on [[TextWall]], but it faces near-universal stigmatization among OWOT's users. While fictional googology is meant to be an offshoot of {{wp|Googology|standard googology}}, it is typically regarded by OWOT's users as more of an art project that primarily serves as entertainment for children than a mathematical pursuit. People who engage in fictional googology are known as '''fictional googologists''', '''FGers''', or '''FGists'''. | ||

In January 2024, Jesse Kohn plotted to leave fictional googology, with a video explaining the state of fictional googology and its uncreative and boring videos, excluding Mathis R.V., which was the entire reason why Jesse Kohn is now largely disinterested in fictional googology. Fellow fictional googologists have commented saying that the video is relatable, and that his leaving is largely justified. A particular reason why this is important is because this highlights how Freddie Fazbear's series, the only regularly uploading fictional googology series at the time, has long gotten boring, with the same "counting section" and "cycle" style across many videos, even seasons. Therefore, fictional googology does not seem to have a good future as of now, despite how it seemed after jwklong's ban. | In January 2024, Jesse Kohn plotted to leave fictional googology, with a video explaining the state of fictional googology and its uncreative and boring videos, excluding Mathis R.V., which was the entire reason why Jesse Kohn is now largely disinterested in fictional googology.
