This site and any other source of media shouldn't be blamed every time some psychotic kid or mental case decides to try and commit murder. Every time something horrible like this happens the family or the media points fingers at whatever they can find. How many of us haven't seen a horror movie as a kid or heard scary stories, how many of us haven't played violent video games from time to time?

Just because we play them doesn't automatically make some blur between fantasy and reality. It also doesn't mean you can go telling the writers or creators of these things that it's their fault. If it's anyones fault it's the kids fault, nowhere on THIS site anyway does it say anything about proxies and having to kill to become one. Ask almost anyone on this wiki and they'll tell you it's all fictional anyway. If they didn't have Slenderman to "inspire" them something like this probably would have happened anyway, and we would have found someone else to blame.

"Scary" and "Violent" things in stories/games/music ect. don't make people commit violent murders, if it did things like this would happen a lot more than once every one or two years.
