Heh, I know right? You'd think this is just a small niche community on the internet. But no, it managed to make waves all across the globe for the most absurd reasons. Of course, none of this is the fault of Creepypasta itself or the community. Just stupid kids who can't tell the difference between fact and fiction.

And yes, you're right. I personally think in today's day and age, getting paid to do what you should be everyone's goal. People with hobbies also tend to be most interesting kind. They often have at least one interesting thing to say. If they're friendly, that's a nice bonus. And your comment about people who feel they should be paid for everything they do, they're the worst kinds of people you'll ever find; egotistical, entitled, and impudent.

And, oh my, you're also right about the types of drama and controversy that plagues the community. If it's not one, it's the other. I hate to sound so negative, but there's rarely any end to problems like that. Regarding the idiotic kids, well, I suppose the best thing you can come up with is issuing NSFW or parental warnings on content. But even then, that doesn't completely eradicate the problem. People will do stupid things no matter how sound or rational your argument is.

The money scandal stuff, well, that's even more difficult to tackle. In addition to the Mr. Creepypasta's mishandling of money, I also read that he had been having an affair with one of his fans behind his wife's back or something and some other guy tried blackmailing her into silence. Is any of this true? If you want me to be brutally honest, I don't care. But, I'd be lying if I said this isn't bad publicity, true or false, for the Creepypasta community at large.
