I was pretty interested when I read the first couple paragraphs of an article detailing a multiple stabbing inspired by a "mythical creature".

And then I hear it's fucking 'slender man'. Immediately lost all respect. Stupid meme garbage isn't worth throwing away a life on.

There are so very few high quality murders out there, and teens in particular pick the shittiest reasons. I want to believe that every story I hear of teens inspired to murder by a "mythical creature" is actually some glorious visitation of Pan, but they're always bloody slender man.
