we will, it wasn't just your comment - I had to remove a previous reference from another about the stabbings, my reasoning against Slender is simply that he can be saved for Halloween or similar.. many people will have other reasons and because of Jeff the Killer and the like many do see creepypasta as "cheap horror", that's just the nature of the beast..

horror in general is a genre many people do not like, let alone creepypasta - which is still very young and full of very bad examples of "horror" stories (gore stories and so on).. Slender didn't even start as a creepypasta however, he started on Something Awful or similar and is more accurately an "urban legend" than a pure creepypasta creation.
