yes but a bad example, it doesn't make people react well to a genre if you say the reason it isn't "low quality" is because it can inspire real-world violence.. if anything that is a very negative aspect of the genre.. instead you could argue about how the stories have spawned many video-games, shared communities and projects (indie films, even a few Hollywood ones).. that creepypasta itself is a continuation of urban legends etc..

by mentioning the stabbings you're fuelling the arguments against it, some would twist your words and say "this site promotes the stabbings via VFH this character" etc..

in the end none of this should even be part of voting, it's not about defending a genre - that can be done via forums or talk-pages.

this goes for everyone, not just you.
