User blog comment:Elaliser/Jeff the Killer is a terrible pasta/@comment-24077689-20140228174004

It looks like a majority of the site regs are staying away from this post. Let me start by saying congratulations for articulating something like this and attempting to take the credit as the first and only person to call out this story on its many faults. Serious points for edginess there.

Your grammatical high horse is also a welcome sight, thanks for clearing up that how'd (a contraction) is somehow an invalid word! Also your creative usage of "then", "than", and your fairly fantastic diction really make this a pleasure to read. Your scathing rendition of an illiterate twelve year old praising this pasta in part five was also quite welcome. Comedy gold.

I also praise how you occasionally break the fourth wall, that is to address the reader personally about your (report, essay, review?) #meta. It's also quite nice how you insist on using caps lock to add emphasis to this rant. Huge points right there, 10/10 kept me on edge of seat.

Particularly in part seven when you attempt to mock the presumed audience, i.e. people who like Jeff the Killer, I just laughed and laughed. I also love how you "prepared for a shitstorm" and didn't get one except for that one kid who justifies bad writing because it's "not professional" or something.

Listen, sweetheart. You're far from the first to call out this story. It's popular because it was one of the first creepypastas out there. In a lot of ways people who are unfamiliar with writing of any kind tend to gravitate towards this story. Particularly pre-teens and scene kids, funny enough. Your pseudo-intellectual half-coherent rant just rambles on and on about how this is a crappy story etc. etc. but it has no teeth. It's all potato and no steak. You don't really analyze this story outside of the most obvious superficial things. And trust me, this story has a lot more wrong with it than that.

Doll, this is a website based primarily on literature. That's the whole focus of the website, JtK is popular but as far as "most popular on the site"? Don't make me laugh. Especially when it comes to regular users (people with 50 + posts), whose opinions are really the ones that matter because they're the ones that review and post and bring in traffic to the site. Congratulations on clearing the air, though. Seriously, it must have taken guts to get out there and express such an unpopular opinion. Fuck me sideways.
