People who call Masky and Hoodie (however you want to spell it) creepypastas or proxies make me so uncomfortable and annoyed. Did they even watch Marble Hornets?
Actually.. Tim himself said that he didn’t give it a single though (Or single fuck) about how people consider Hoodie and Masky pastas. I don’t see why people tend to make a big fuss about them being different things, and people not knowing that they /technically/ aren’t pasta’s.
To be honest, my main issue is that people literally have no idea how to play them in character and just base them off of the idea that they are obedient to Slenderman. Maybe the actual issue is I take role play and being in character too seriously. Actually, the problem in a lot of cases is the person complaining is too serious about something. (Don’t quote me on that and start making me the bad guy because I can accept that I am too uptight sometimes, this isn’t me saying people wanting to change the oppressiveness of their lives are being “too serious”. That would be a completely different conversation and I’m not about to be attacked on a damn website for it over creepy stories and my personal views on writing.)
Also, I never said that the creators are against it. I don’t know them. I literally never will. I just personally don’t think it makes sense for those two to be considered proxies based upon the story and the concept of what a proxy would be. I am very pleased to see people reacting to this though. Debating such topics is how to keep a fandom alive, is it not?
If someone could prove to me that the two ‘states of mind’ did physical tasks directly for Slenderman, I will happily discuss that would them and go back through the story to see if it makes sense. Until then, not that anyone really cares or not, I’m not changing my opinion.
