User blog comment:CoughOfFire/Slenderman Incident: Really People?/@comment-24359266-20140806192731

It really annoys me when people believe Creepypasta stories. It should be very obvious that these are just fictional stories intended to entertain the audience of horror lovers. Honestly, I feel like we have to write "Note, not a real story." on the bottom of each story we create just to get an obvious point across. It also bugs me how the parents and family of the victim are blaming ALL of Creepypasta for their child's condition. Granted, it is a horrible thing what happened and I feel extremely bad for them. But there's something called PARENTAL CONTROLLS! It even states in the rules that children under 13 are forbidden to create accounts on this site. Instead of blaming Creepypasta for everything, how about you question the parents of the two girls that carried out such a horrific act about how they were supervising their children on the internet. A lot, not all, but a lot of 12 year olds are so susceptible to believing false information and believing everything they see on the internet. I'm sorry, but as a parent, you should supervise your child on the internet and read more about a website they enjoy visiting. I've probably derailed from the main point of my rant, but that's what I believe. It's a nasty, nasty situation none-the-less and I hope the victim is doing ok. I also understand that this is an old event that occurred, but it really gave Creepypasta a bad reputation and I think that it's completely uncalled for to blame the whole site.
