Talk:It Wasn't Lavender Town/@comment-25226254-20140731090639/@comment-24434528-20171030045515

The sad thing is, this pasta was well-written, and I felt kind of bad for rolling my eyes every three words. I tried asking myself, really and sincerely, if I had never heard all the crap about Lavender Town before, would I have found this pasta effective? The answer I came to is still no…because, as others here have said, the LT theme ISN'T SCARY. I mean, I know, opinions and all, but I'm a very sensitive person, the noise that starts when you get the first page in Slender: TEP scares me - heck, the noise the Unown make on the radio in the Ruins of Alph in Pokemon G2 scares me - and I played Pokemon Red when I was eight years old and only ever found the LT theme mildly irritating. Maybe the original theme made some kids sick or suicidal at some point, I've seen too many people insist they've had symtpoms to completely discount the possibility, but to make every other PokePasta about the LT theme is just exasperating to anyone who has never been bothered by it. As annoyed as I am by this site's judgmental restrictions, I can kind of understand why they wanted to ban PokePastas when so many of them are about something that just was never scary; pastas like this one don't help the cause of people who think this site should be open to pastas of all categories and merits very much.
