Creepypasta Feels Compelled To State That Its Stories Are Fiction & It's Not A Satanic Cult; Thanks Everyone... :smack:
I was going to add this to the MORAL PANICS THREAD under News and Issues, but felt compelled by some demon to start a new thread here under Recreation and Entertainment. Like the guy says in the article, the reaction to stories like this is just SO PREDICTABLE. All the halfwits blame the website instead of looking for the real problem. It's not like they even take the time to look through the website to figure out what it is all about. They just blame the website and feel content that they've got to the bottom of the problem. For people who really care about reality, here's the website.

:prof:
Also check out the article link at the bottom for a little more discussion.
Congratulations, general public and major media outlets, you've brought the rest of us to a place where a website that tells ghost stories has to put out a disclaimer that their stories of the supernatural are fictional. The very fact that this has to be written is the latest indictment on a scapegoat-seeking public that is far more interested in feeling better by blaming an innocent third-party than actually tackling the problem with which they're presented or the reality in which they must endure. Instead of simply confronting real evil, or real mental illness, or real murder and real crime, let's all just heap our outrage onto a website, because the internet is scary and calling for censorship without thinking it through is just so tantalizingly easy.

I don't know if this video makes it more or less clear what Creepypasta is about, but it does have a rather nice ambiance about it!

If you want to know what Creepypasta is, then all you have to do is look at the front page of the website for the answer. In short, a creepypast is a short story posted on the internet that is designed to unnerve and shock the reader. They also have a video section on their website. It's kind of like horror or sci-fi only creepier!

Vicious516 Creepypasta - The Rake
I viewed a few of the videos linked to from the site and most of them are pretty quirky. I have a feeling that the recent press coverage of the site has helped increase traffic to the site. No problem with that, however, since there is nothing at all alarming about the site despite attempts by contributers to upload material intended to be disturbing. Not everyone can be an Edgar Allen Poe, but that doesn't stop them from trying and that's not a bad thing as far as I'm concerned.

The stuff I've seen at Creepypasta is more weird than scary. Some of it's pretty fun to read, but a lot is really amateurish. For instance, a popular short fiction item on Creepypasta is called Normal Porn For Normal People. It's a little weird and off-the-wall and it tries to be disturbing, but it doesn't really achieve that desired effect. Many will find it offensive and most everyone else will just find it lame, but not horrible.
