User blog comment:Furbearingbrick/Jeff 'inspired' stories/@comment-1290332-20121204171714

I'm surprised, the only person who's showing a reaction remotely comparable to butthurt at the news of this so far is CrazyFerret. On chat, he basically claimed that since the concept of insane, mutilated killers with super powers predates the Jeff story it's unfair to call such stories knockoffs. That may be true, but creepypastas about them still tend to

a.) follow Jeff's story too closely

b.) make the killers overpowered Mary Sues/Gary Stus

c.) give an insufficent explanation for why they went crazy, or do it in a way that just raises more questions

d.) be about as scary as a glass of milk and generally suck
