Episode Five: Creepypasta | Violating Community Guidelines

When you were a kid, did you ever get those chain emails telling you that you would die in 3 days if you didn't forward the email to ten of your friends? Said emails became the origin of the well-known website Creepypasta, a phenomenon that Brittany and Sarah are taking a deep dive into this week.

dude because of this case I was almost expelled in 6th grade for having a death note which literally had names of my friends and math notes. had an entire sit down conference with my mom, my friends, my friends parents, and the school administration to try to convince me that all that wasn’t real. towards the end they started blaming it on anime and video games, even though the only game I mentioned I played was the sims lmaooo

I can relate to this, I struggle to physically watch horror movies (I cried and had a panic attack the first time I watched Halloween..) but I've ran multiple versions of "The Gauntlet" and seen videos/photos of really messed up stuff and it doesn't stick with me NEAR as much. I think it comes from the image feeling of fear and paranoia that comes from watching horror movies, and having anxiety sometimes makes that really difficult. Seeing morbid things doesn't really do that, it's more of a "Oh my god, that's horrible" and you're able to move on instead of feeling scared? It's a weird struggle bc I'm a fully empathetic person and I feel like I should be more affected..

Which is a weird thing to try to explain lol But my Dad & I just had this love of Crime Stories, and I had dreams of becoming a Forensics Analyst or a Detective. We had so much fun watching the shows, guessing who had done what, and what was happening. Being our own little "detectives" through the screen. I now have my husband on board a little bit, and we watch/listen to several Podcasts & shows together! I don't think I will ever loose my love for true crime & all of the scary spooky things 🖤

[@olivia-bm4mz]

I feel like they missed a super big part of the creepy pasta fandom and the reason why these kids did such horrible things is because they weren't just appeasing these fictional murderers - they wanted to become one of them. These kids actually believed that the creepypasta people were part of a secret community of real people that were adopted by slender man to become his "proxies". These kids believed that if they commited these horrible crimes that slender man would come and praise them for their murders and take them in / give them powers. This is exactly what the girls who tired to stab their classmate to death thought. The whole fandom would also sexualize these creepypasta characters to an obscene amount. Jeff the killer, Jane the Killer, Laughing Jack, and Ticci Toby were especially sexualized and these 12 year olds would be writing / drawing smut about these literal murderers and this would also drive them to commit the murders and be taken by slenderman so they can be with these characters. Its honestly very scary and sad when you get past the "people who like to read / write scary stories" and see that a large portion of the community back in 2013 - 2015 were children who would fantasize about having sexual relationships with fictional murders.

There’s two different types of creepypastas: “The Killer” creepypastas that are definitely written by 15 year olds. These the Jeff and Jane the Killers, the Eyeless Jacks, the Ticki Toby, Ben Drowned (which tbh- is pretty good as it went on and was kinda an ARG), etc. these typically surround one main characters (like Jeff) who are usually edgy depressed emo teen boys or girls who “snap”, and they’re usually somehow connected to one another. This is the more ‘fandom’ side of creepypastas, meaning there’s a lot of shipping and anime-fication of a lot of the characters (turning jeff’s burned, bleached and brutally disfigured face into just a paper-white anime teen boy with cute lil cuts on either side of his mouth), and this also leads to a lot of these characters to be placed in this sorta AU, putting them all in a mansion in the woods with Slenderman, who is usually seen as a father figure (even tho he’s still sometimes shipped with the others?) These aren’t all BAD per-say, like Laughing Jack Origins (the prequel of the main Laughing Jack story) is genuinely pretty well written and well made! AND THEN! There’s the proper horror stories like Russian Sleep Experiment and other ACTUAL good creepypastas that usually surround horrifying *concepts* rather than just a murderous teen boy who goes crazy

[@cez_is_typing]

@@KingOfGaymes sadly a lot of it had to do with mental state. Jeff the killer was written by a teen or something (it was badly written when I last read it) who needed a release. They probably were being bullied themselves and decided to write a story about a boy being a victim and then getting his revenge, probably as a fantasy thing. Then equally depressed or hurt kids and teens read it and identified with him. They find this character that blows their mind, written in a story format they had never seen before. And like Brittany said, creepypasta felt personal, like when you read it, YOU were the only one who had. A lot of kids and teens took this as comfort and ran with it I suppose

When I was 14 and having my edgy phase I came up with a creepy pasta character called Silent Sage who got bullied for how much she spoke (that part was based on my life) and then she sewed her mouth shut with a needle and thread and went around killing her bullies and then of course going to the infamous “slender mansion”

What Brittany said about the Russian Sleep Experiment is EXACTLY what happened to me with The Rake. That shit scarred me for life. I would think about it constantly. I was ACTUALLY anxious every single night thinking about The Rake and how it's around where I live. I will never forget reading about how The Rake targets you only if it sees you... and it will stop at nothing until it kills you... and it will never stop chasing after you... omg. I was a literal child that was convinced that some scary creature will hunt me down and kill me. From how it was described I had no doubt that the Rake could be in the woods in my backyard... or that it could see me in the window of my parents car. I was absolutely mortified. I remember the story saying that The Rake radiates an awful smell... like a decaying dead animal or rotting meat. And if you smell the stench that means it's near you. Well girlies... animals would die in the woods by my house sometimes. Especially in the summer. I would have actual panic attacks because I could smell the rotting animal smell. That shit was so real to me. I would hide from all windows like my life depended on it. I would hide under my covers just in case it came into my room. 😭 There was no way anybody could've convinced me that it was fake. I would be crying and telling my mom NO LOOK! THERE'S PICTURES AND VIDEOS AND THESE PEOPLE HAVE SAID THEY'VE SEEN IT!!! It truly was traumatic for me because of how real it was. It was like the first encounter i ever had with a creepypasta and i was TRULY convinced that it was real. Also, it felt extremely close to home and that didn't make it any better for me. The Rake allegedly lives aroud the same area that I do. It made me feel like myself, my family, and even my dog was in potential danger and it was sooo beyond worrysome for me. Even if I was 7-8 years old.

[@user-kt3zv1cm5j]

I was scared by a lot as a kid but I feel like to a degree I knew it wasn't real even if it still scared me shitless bc I'm just neurotic and anxiety-riddled like that lmao, but do you remember when you realised when it wasn't real? or was it one of those childhood things that fades away and you don't realise it's gone until you look back

@@user-kt3zv1cm5j yeah I was about to say I think literally having all the details line up would make it scarier like I might actually lose my mind, I didn't even know about the rotting meat detail but I remember to some degree still being incredibly anxious and scared of my windows in like sixth grade but i knew logically. it still was literally impossible to shake that feeling and idk I always thought it was abnormal to get so afraid of things like that- I still get intense moments of fear and I've had some panic attacks over like monstrous threats and I'm nineteen at this point. maybe we r jus super paranoid like neuro/psychologically unless it jus is a common experience but I've always had like this severe fear of extra dimensional type creatures. i mean I'd be scared to go outside at night in sixth grade, like bad feeling deathly afraid which might be normal, I was still running out of my room when it was dark at like sixteen tho thinking something would grab me and idk what that was about lmao

I remember arguing with my best friend in 4th grade over creepypastas being real.

8:30 I recently wrote a paper for college with a section about psychological effects on players of violent video games. The majority of unbiased studies and articles I read on the topic agreed that psychological effect's from violence video games are rare but the most common is aggression. Aggression can be violent, but it is more non-violent aggression seen as an effect. It has not been proven that violent video games leads to, by it's definition, violent behavior. Many people use the "argument" that a lot of violent people play video games, but with over 2 billion worldwide video game players, that's not really evidence. In my opinion, as a player of violent video games, I think the problem is the desensitization to violence (which does not lead to becoming violent).

[@noxxious4396]

the best way to tackle the whole know where your kids are at emotionally/mentally is not treating them like an extension of yourself and a point of pride, my dad made sure I never felt judged so most thoughts I've ever had no matter how fucked I've shared with him and I shared with him all the weird videos and stories I heard online and the response was never "you're disturbed for that" it was just that's disturbing so it would get me to not think of things as a novelty and be like 'hmm yeah that is fucked up'

The Brothers Grimm is where Cinderella originally comes from and she cut part of her foot off to fit into the slipper. They were old school cautionary tales, absolutely loved reading them as a kid since they’re usually morbid. Look into them they’re wild!

[@jasmine-zw3qs]

wasnt it the sisters who cut off their feet

[@zaina5127]

actually the step sisters do that, not cinderella. one step sister hacks off her heel flesh to fit the shoe, and the other cuts a toe off. but they both leave blood in the shoe, so the bird tells the prince to look in the shoe, "there is blood in the shoe//she is not the one for you". and cinderella's foot fits the shoe perfectly.

something that’s so interesting about this is that the internet that they grew up on (as millennials and older gen z) is VASTLY different from the internet that i grew up on (as a young gen z). the internet they grew up with was a limitless medium of communication and expression that had so much potential and the internet i grew up with was one where i was warned “don’t go on these websites its just porn and viruses” and the way that it has changed is so incredibly fascinating. edit: as an internet kid, children absolutely should not have unsupervised access to the internet

Time flies. I think the reason why we don't see many creepypastas anymore other than the fact it's not as popular is because of the move to more in depth and involved stories coming to light- where BEN Drowned paved the way for creepypasta becoming arg games, nowadays if you have an idea you want to be able to involve an audience or make a video.
