Yet another rant. This one goes over the topic of Slenderman.
Here we go...
So you're just sitting down, and a character named Slenderman comes over and starts to act weird. Then everyone is telling you to "Run away!" or "He's going to rape you!"
Okay, hold the phone.
Rape?
From what I have learned that , one that is clearly against the rules, and two, THAT IS NOT SLENDERMAN.
In NO way or FORM does his Creepypasta Wikia says anything about "raping" other people. Even the people who would've made that fictional character would know that would be offensive.
Whether he absorbs, kills, or merely takes his victims to an undisclosed location or dimension is also unknown as there are never any bodies or evidence left behind in his wake to deduce a definite conclusion.
In NO place does it say that he harasses them in an inappropriate way.
Often times it is either reported or recorded that he can be found in sections of woods, and these generally tend to be suburban. He also has been reported seen with large groups of children, as many photographs portray. It is commonly thought that he resides in woods and forests and preys on children. He seems unconcerned with being exposed in the daylight or captured in photos.
Okay, fine he stalks and preys on children, but that does not make him a rapist. You don't know what he would've been thinking. Maybe he was thinking about his childhood, maybe he was human before an evil spirit transformed him into Slenderman. When he "Eats" them, perhaps he just prefer to eat children. Much like a predator, they would be smart and go for the young and weak, rather than the stronger people. Would you rather suprise someone who knows how to use a gun, or someone who doesn't know how to use weaponry? I'd go for option 2.
But still, we don't know what he's thinking. It would be better off if people didn't act so immature over how Slenderman would probably "Rape" others. It is not a topic to be joked about.
Well, that's that.
I'm shaking with anger. But that's my two cents about Slenderman on Feralheart. The reason I made this is because Slenderman is almost always pointed towards the "Troll" section.
Reminder to all, don't make a character unless if you know what they are about.
(Although, no offense to a certain Youtuber (Trying not to name and shame), I believe they made Slenderman into a bad example with their Feralheart video with Slenderman dancing on others in the background.)
Also, please Staff, if this is not appropriate for the forums,
please edit my post and make it blank before you lock it. Thanks.
(Unless if I need to edit it myself, give me a heads-up! :))
