Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

Ok srsly tho never found slanderman scary, it's really hard to when you watch it become invented on the internet out of thin air (iirc another 4chan thing or maybe SA)

Like was it a meme to pretend it is scary? Was I not in on the joke or something?

Slender Man was invented on Something Awful.

It convinced a couple of middle school girls to stab another middle school girl. That's scary enough for me.

If it wasn't Slenderman it would be something else. Geyser believed she was speaking with several fictional characters, from Slenderman to Severus Snape.

How disconnected a human mind can become from reality is the truly scary thing.

Only an idiot would believe something on 4chan.

Oh shit it's just like qanon lul
