User blog comment:Stutter Matty/Creepypasta's a childs Imagination gone to far(Opinion)/@comment-4620507-20140211044333

idk man but Creepypastas are, in a way, the manifestation of what us human beings are capable of doing. Each Creepypasta deals with a subject that we would not be like to be put into- take the Russian Sleep Experiment, for example. Creepypastas give us humans a way to look into ourselves to see what our minds are capable of thinking of in the right circumstances. I think if Creepypastas ever taught us something, it's that the human mind is limitless, and given the right materials, we may unleash a hell we would never think possible. We may seem like an advanced species who've tamed the world, but we are capable of killing millions of our own kind from an idea. Whenever you write a pasta, you take a figment from your vast mind and put it on a sheet of paper (or the web, in this case). You tell the world, "This is what I can do if I could. This is what I can think if I could." And maybe, with that, you can stop it from ever coming to reality.

So yes, Laughing Jack may be a story about children killing people (tbh I've never read it :P), but it's also a manisfestation of the author's deepest fears and desires. It's a representation of what he can do. Laughing Jack (and any other Creepypasta, by the same token) is the other side of humanity. Creepypastas are humanity.
