User blog comment:A-Lord-Over-Birds/Jeff the Killer - Debunked (and dismissed)/@comment-5000412-20140807051357/@comment-25170312-20140807052850

The reason for the recent hate is that people, like myself, are just now discovering creepypastas. There are so many for us to read, and ones like JtK just don't compare to the good ones. It seems silly to us that such a ridiculous story would be so popular. We need to get out all our frustration over how confused we are that the story hasn't been shelved, so to speak. Basically, we're just as confused as you are, but in the opposite way.
