You're actually going to make a statement like that on a site devoted to creepypasta? How fucking ignorant are you? If you think everything here is so shitty, I have to ask, why are you even here? Wouldn't happen to be a situation where you see yourself as a big fish in a little pond scenario, would it? All I ever see you do is talk shit about creepypastas, but yet, here you are.

So, Empy, Humboldt, Shadowswimmer, Slimebeast, Bogleech, MGar, Bannning, etc are all shitty writers not worth reading? Do you not see what a dick you sound like?

I realize you think you're the only one here that knows anything, and you think that if you write your comments with a certain tone that you'll convince people you know what you're talking about or make it so people are scared to disagree with you, but bashing the genre of creepypasta on the creepypasta wiki is too asinine to be ignored, even by us lowly dumb-dumbs. I agree people should read other things more than they read creepypasta, and I agree there's a lot of shit on here, but to say there's nothing on this site worth emulating just makes you look like a jackass.

Don't take this so hard. I don't he meant all Creepypastas are terrible. Like you said, there are many great stories made by great authors around here, and creepypasta as a genre is simply great. But there are also a lot of bad ones around here as well that weren't deleted yet. I think it means he shouldn't take their example and look into other genres other than hooror do develop a diversity in his writing style. Although I agree, this kind of generalization is simply horrible.
