User blog comment:Queen Misery/The "Slender Man" Stabbings - Dark Fiction and Reality/@comment-1705775-20140604035627

sorry to say but I'm not surprised about the media taking it to extremes, look at the tabloids over here in the UK - they do the same.. best to ignore them and focus on the victim and family, they are who matter in the end.

As for "Slender Man" causing this.. no.. this is a case of two disturbed people latching onto something and using it as an excuse to feed their illness.

This crime is still "new" and thus the backlash is raw, give it time and people will start to see reason again.. sadly this is what happens after almost every major tragedy, people search for blame and trolls continuing being trolls.. however most sensible people know that the best course is to offer support, educate and try to better the situation.

Villains Wiki may be considered "dark" by some but I do not think any of us foster intent to harm others, most will see that.. if everyone who ever wrote a ghost story or an article on a monster / villain went around killing people the world would be extinct.. it's tragic when it happens but we need to remember it happens rarely.
