I agree with you, what makes the backrooms so scary is the unknown, knowing that you've been there before but you don't know when, or why, or how. It's the fact that everyone has been to an office building, everyone knows what it's like to stand in the middle of a row of cubicles, hearing all the beepings of the phones, the clicking of pens and the groans of the employees. The back rooms are scary because it is still an office building but it has none of what makes an office build an office building.
For kids to take that idea and turn it into another mascot horror with generic "smiley men" creatures is a real shame as it destroys the foundation of the backrooms and turns it into another SCP clone, however telling these kids that "they shouldn't have phones at their age and that all they do is ruin things" would be wrong because no matter if you decide to bully them or not they will still continue to do what they do, instead of assaulting children when you hear them laugh in the game channel maybe laugh with them, enjoy your time, make jokes at them and yourself.

THESE RETARDED KIDS RUINED THE BACKROOMS
THE REASON WHY "BACKROOMS WIKI" HAS HORRIBLE WRITING IS BECAUSE THEY TOOK THE WORST ASPECTS OF SCP FANDOM AND TRY TO REPLICATE IT MAKING A ABOMINATION
JESUS CHRIST I THEM SO MUCH
I USED TO LIKE BACKROOM WHEN IT FIRST CAME OUT IN 2018
AND THESE SHALLOW FAKE WANNA BE ARTISTIC FAN NIGGERS DIDNT HAVE CREATIVITY SO THEY MADE A ""BACKROOM COMMUNITY"" WHICH IS FULL OF HIDEOUS WRITING
THEY WILL COMPLAIN ABOUT HOW "KANE PIXELS" BACKROOM IS WRONG AND "DOES'NT FOLLOW THE WIKI"
IM ACTUALLY GLAD KANE PIXEL DIDNT FOLLOW THE WIKI
BACKROOM NEVER MENT TO BE "DOCUMENTED"
BACKROOM IS A UNIQUE CONCEPT
ITS SCARY BECAUSE OF THE UNKNOWN AND UNCERTAINTY
ITS SUPPOSED TO BE DIFFERENT FROM EACH PERSON
BUT THEY SAY NO
THEY MAKE LIST AFTER LIST TRYING TO MAKE SENSE OF THE BACKROOMS
ITS NEVER SUPPOSED TO BE MAKE SENSE
AND THE MOST HORRIBLE SINSE THEY MADE IS "PARTYGOERS"
I DONT HAVE TO EXPLAIN SHIT WHY IT SUCKS
