History Quotes / TheSlenderManMythos

->''All of this started because of Something [[PrecisionFStrike Fucking]] Awful. Fuck Something Awful.''

->When anthro-historians of the cyber-future look back on the cultural artifacts of our civilization, caked beneath the mountains of kale from the First Apocalypse of the Genetic Modification Wars, it's going to be pretty fucking hard for them to piece together Slenderman. How will they decipher him from any of our other made up deities, what with the active cult following, numerous clubs dedicated to make believing he is real, and the actual killings in his name? How will we explain to the squid-men of the future that we always just thought of him as a fun joke or fantasy experiment (except for those murder teens, that shit is just weird)?\\
Maybe I'm overthinking this; it does seem that the popularity of Slenderman has diminished in recent years. Alternatives like ''[[VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys Five Nights at Freddy's]]'' and your friend jumping out from behind of a corner and saying "boo" provide suitable Slenderman style scares. As I have previously stated in other Slenderman product reviews, I don't have an issue with the Slenderman concept and certain adaptations. Overall, the character is tired. There have been too many amateur adaptations, past the point where a truly great depiction is a long overdue conclusion. He, like [[Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog Sonic]], has become a parody in his own genre, consumed only by long term fans and sex freaks.
