If I were stabbed by someone and someone wrote a creepypasta aboutit, I'd be ticked beyond belief, because such a story would be making light of and taking advantage of my losses.

Why is Rugrats theory so disturbing to many people? Because it implies the  show was made based on someone's horrible experiences without their consent!

nightmare on Elm Street's original interpretation of Freddy Kruegar had to be changed because of a bunch of real child molesting cases that were happening.

The story was insensitive and stupid. The Rugrats Theory is disturbing because it offers an explanation of how a part of so many kids' childhoods was actually about something horribly sad, not because of any implied real life connection. I just read the pasta... there's no real life connection there. It's just a warped view of a cartoon show.

Nightmare On Elm Street's original interpretation was changed because a bunch of overly sensitive people couldn't see the difference between a made up guy who haunts people's nightmares in ways that are physically impossible and real life pedophiles.

On topic, I've already said that the story happened too soon. I've also pointed out that a number of people are being incredibly illogical about just how bad the offense actually was and acting like this author was a monster. He wrote a story about a real life event too quickly after it happened. The story gained him pretty much no notoriety or popularity, (and likely would have been heard about much less had people not made such a big deal about it) and nobody was harmed by it aside from what amounts to mild annoyance. Kill the demon?
