Talk:Jeff the Killer 2015/@comment-36223176-20180718081031/@comment-25458443-20180718131016

Hello there, I'm EtherBot. I didn't write this story, but I'm going to defend it anyway.

"You could go on for hours about the issues with this story, such as the parents being completely irredeemable and acting the exact opposite of how parents do..."

This is a really weird argument in my opinion. You say the parents are not good parents as if this was an accident or oversight, when in the story itself it's pretty obvious that this was the intended effect. If your argument isn't that the parents being so awful is a mistake, than perhaps you're saying it's a plothole, or is unrealistic, to which I would say you're very very wrong. Being pregnant a few times doesn't train you to be a good mother, nor does getting somebody pregnant a good father make. There are plenty of shitty, shitty parents in the world, far worse than those in this story. Be grateful they weren't actively physically abusive.

"...and how Jeff is somehow less scary than fish-face boy because now it's directly stated he's blind in one eye from the flare, which means that this teenager who's trying to kill me is blind in one eye and has destroyed depth perception."

This is your personal interpretation so I'd be pretty lame to argue with you on it. But at least trying seeing from my perspective that horror is very very subjective, and it's possible that lots of people are simply afraid of knife weilding lunatics regardless of how bad their depth perception might be. Making him blind in one eye was, in my opinion, a pretty nice touch that lended some realism to the story.

"Letting Liu live made sense except for the fact that this was probably not added because Jeff wouldn't have killed Liu logically, but so even worse spinoffs of a horrible story can exist."

Your argument seems to be that this creative decision is bad because the intention behind it might have been something you personally aren't in favor for ie some spinoffs. This is really really weird to me. One) BanningK states on the pages for his sequels that he wasn't originally intending on writing any. Two) who cares? This argument might work if backed up with some reasoning for why a) a spinoff if inherently bad, and b) how the decision actively ruins the story at hand, but you don't provide any, instead choosing to act like both are a given.
