Slender Man belongs to the queers.

Years ago when it was fresh, I used to enjoy watching Marble Hornets and the other popular sagas. Few years ago I joined online fandoms to catch up and it's all basically kids and pronoun people. Trans here, nonbinary there. He/she/theys with goofy/silly personas and pfps everywhere.
I understand the audience was mostly impressionable kids, but is this a byproduct of kids growing up in the internet? There doesn't seem to be one single straight/hetero/normal adult person in any Slender Man fandom circle nowadays, if there were any to begin with. It's as if they either grew out of it or stayed behind while transitioning to whatever they are, or chose to be to fit in. Queerdom, BLM, ACAB, watermelons in bio, you name it, all there among these manchildren. You're not talking to real adults if you interact with them.

What about Slender Man has anything to do with gender crap? Did the fandom become majority queer and just collectively impose their standards onto these rando horror stories? At least with the Babadook for example, the online public made him a gay icon because of that one time Netflix or whoever accidentally labeled the movie as LGBTQ, so it was funny seeing memes of Babadook going “I'M GAY!”

Slender fandom from the start was Tumblrized with shitty fanart, shipping, fan shit made out of nowhere that I never heard of until years later like Ticci Toby, which I still don't care to understand. Holy shit, the fan content. Even Jeff The Killer had more integrity as original creepypasta instead of being some fandom derivative.

I'm guessing since the majority of audience were zoomers drinking the queer kool-aid last decade, they decided to unanimously make Slendy their flagship icon while normal people moved on. But the faces of the Slenderverse as they are now can be credited as influencing this, when a considerable percentage of the notable names turn out to be queer or queer-related somehow.

Happened to literally every single "old" internet thing that I can think of.

>why is the child abducting creep a trans icon?

Trannies latch on to literally everything that doesn't have a clearly defined gender. No, even "Slender Man" is still ambiguous to them for some fucking reason.

Next stage slacktivism combined with navel gazing extended Adolescence that pretends they are creating new important things with identity labels. But LGBT in the past actually created art forms with craft, not just labels or bad cross dressing.

>These Slender documentaries featuring series creators? Trans writer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pJVacxcLSx4

>The Marble Hornets comic artist? They/them.

>Nick Nocturne of Night Mind who used to make long Slendervlog “analysis videos”? Some furry.

>Evan Santiago who did so much Slender work like essays and at least two series, and is one of the top faces of the current fandom when I've never seen them in the OG years? Became Valeria overnight last year or so.

I am certain there are plenty of other creators somewhere in the queer spectrum.

>The fucking groomer who made Tribe Twelve was soliciting a trans girl or someone in the fandom because of some trans fetish of his.

>Marble Hornets creators have he/him in bio, but who knows if they honestly believe in this or just do it to fit in with their loyal fans and keep their respect. Alex might since he colored his hair purple once.

>Even the fucking stabber in that one incident became trans male.

Every year they now have a “Slender 4 Gender” charity stream for Trans Lifeline or something right in the middle of Pride month, and that cinched it: Slender Man belongs to the queers. All Sony did on their end was just buy basic film rights for a quick dollar and further killing any respect that normies might have had for it with that one shit movie.

Whatever happened to “scary monster stalks random kids and college students” found footage tales? The fuck happened to people? I tried getting into the fandom side of Slendy and am just unable to. I cannot relate to these people, and the best I can do in this context is just watch the old stuff and never touch anything new from fans or creators. I have all but lost interest in what anyone does with Slender Man nowadays because I know for sure it's gonna be by some kidult pronoun person. The internet is not real life, and I just don't care what they're up to anymore. They might say “This isn't for you” like that shitty House Of Leaves book, but this monster mythos should be for everyone and not just them. No wonder it barely exists as anything more than a product of an insular online community anymore, with barely any amount of views to new projects that wouldn't come close to the peak Marble Hornets viewership.

Far past it's heyday, outside of it's in-group, The Slender Man Mythos is pretty much a dead genre. Analog Horror, for the little quality it offers, is far more prevalent. There's no going back, kayfabe has been broken since the beginning, and all subsequent would-be actors plain suck at acting, as much as most of the OG actors, anyway.

I guess the Operator virus wasn't about getting haunted by a tall faceless guy, but getting Tumblr'd.

Thinking about the past when they still had a penis triggers them, so they have to "reclaim" media from the past by making everything troony.

"redredhat" vlog literally has a "Slenderwoman" that activates when the main character suffers dysphoria.

And now there's

>the longer a fandom exists, the probability of the fandom becoming dominated by trannies and/or other members of the rainbow flag brigade approaches one
Seriously, it's almost universal. Pick any long time fandom community that you haven't thought about in years, go look it up, and I can almost guarantee you that there will be at least one outspoken transgender moderator or other powerful figure who is actively trying to turn the community into a progressive tranny hugbox.

this even applies to lesbian-centric communities, trannies show up and start calling everyone phobes for not wanting to suck their girldick

Horror genre overlaps with queers a lot because it is safe horny. Mainstream media have convinced a good chunk of the population that the female body is gross and not meant to be sexualized, so they look for "safe horny" outlets. This means man butt, roided women, monster things and inanimate objects.
Look at SCP wiki for another example.

Remembering good ol' gay Clive Barker and Hellraiser that has it's own queer fandom. At least it started great and just became IP rights-renewing entry slop instead of what the internet does to things.

Most trannies are permanently online and don't leave their rooms so they end up invading every obscure and not-so-obscure corner of the internet they can.

Feeds itself. Be always online shutin desperate to feel special finds that being a transgender will get them online acceptance and friends, but outside of specific instances and communities will grant them no special attention irl (if anything it might make them more shunned), prompting them to spend even MORE time online, further entrenching their beliefs and weirdness and desire to spread it to others to gain more online friends and acceptance.

was about to say the same
very noticeable in retro vidya communities, like half life and doom. im not sure what caused this other than most nerds not being mentally strong i guess
