Or in other words, ALL spookiness?

What do you mean anon?

Poppy isn't spooky you fag. It's just abstract art.
>>18983417
if i can fap to it, it isn't spooky. enough.

>The spoopy part is the penis.
Is it there? Is it not there? When you find out are you relieved or disappointed? Are you disappointed that you are relieved, or relieved that you are disappointed?

poppy is an art project ruined by other youtubers trying to cash in on it's "spookiness"
I think it's pretty pointless since the truth will eventually come to light. I hate hearing scary stories because I know it's a bunch of horse shit. If you want to post something really creepy just try your best and make sure no one figures out that its fake.
We're told you not to post this shit here.
>manufactured spookiness
Trying too hard, or not trying hard enough.
It's why I don't like creepypastas, roleplaying, or that SCP bullshit. We can have a frank discussion about genuinely freaky shit without bringing campfire ghost stories into it.

You mean like 80% of the stuff /x/ talks about?
>>18983417
Fiction can be scary, and it also means you don't have to take the effort in trying to debunk anything or come up with alternative, more reasonable explanations. You can just sit back and enjoy it.
love that poppy
Poppy has gotten a bit redundant for me. I get that she is a parody of pop culture and "vloggers" and fame, etc. Just kind of boring now.
Is Poppy just Creepy Chan for newfags?

Bored.

Manufactured spookiness is a product of the natural existence of reality so how "manufactured" can something fundamentally be? If it all eventually stems out of the same natural occurence?
>>18987002
No she's Mars Argo for newfags
So what I think OP means by "manufactured" spookiness might be sort of "trying too hard" spookiness?
Like Poppy. The whole idea of Poppy tries extremely hard. I think it's neat but it's also way too obvious what the message is (Like jesus, the faggot behind it with the faggier name doesn't know what subtlety is).
The lack of subtlety is what bothers me about Poppy.
We need more Poppy threads.
Love the level of stupid in this thread

It comes in waves. Slasher flicks, John Carpenter, etc.
In our post-2010 world, there is a television program about creepypastas.
This is a natural trajectory.
