Slenderman, Creepypasta, and what really matters

Two 12 year olds tried to kill another 12 year old because they wanted to become Slenderman’s ‘Proxys’ and live with him in his murder mansion.

The victim of the stabbing survived, thank God.

One of the girls says Slenderman watches her and reads her mind and can teleport. These are seriously disturbed preteens that found something to feed their psychosis. If it wasn’t Creepypasta and Slenderman it would have been Freddy Krueger or a Faerie. 

We’re about to get a wave of people blaming Creepypasta for murder, much like past horror movies have been blamed for inspiring killers. Creepypasta will be talked about on talk shows and Fox News will debate on how it’s ruining the youth. There will be anti-pasta movements, fringed and religious in nature.

There are two things that actually matter in all the coming insanity:

ONE: These girls are made to take responsibility for their actions and are given the help they obviously need.

TWO: The victim recovers successfully.

That’s it. It does’t matter if Creepypasta and horror is badmouthed or ‘they’ try to censor it or demonize it. It doesn’t matter if Slenderman is given the blame, he’s fucking fictional and thus gives no shits. All that matters is that one girl almost died and that all three need help.

Remember this.
