Slenderman, or the "thin man" , is a kind of "coconut" created on the Internet in 2009 following a photo contest.It was the mind of Erick Knudsen who gave life to this Spermic figure, a man too tall, too thin, and with limbs that remember very well that of a arachnid.It is pale as a cumulus of fog where there is no faction, only a terrifying void outlining a figure and a personality, which Enjoy stalking people.And especially children...a phenomenon that has acquired an excessive reputation on the web, with serious consequences.
The legend of the skinny man and its consequences on the Internet
Eric Knudsen started, without knowing what was going to happen, an authentic phenomenon full of fanaticism, curiosity and terror.I imagine a horrible being to create some strange photographs with which I won a contest.Participo with several blank snapshots and black in which children appeared accompanied by u The sinister figure is somewhat diffuse and disturbing.It was the Slenderman, a tall and thin being in a black suit, from which some sinister claws came out.To create it, he relied on some tales of HP Lovecraft, Edgar Allan Poe and Stephen King.
The images soon became viral.And not only that, people began to edit images and videos.Little by little, the thin man began to have life on the net.Video games like «Slender: The eight pages», and even short films that anyone can see on Youtube have been created.This sinister being has more than 250,000 followers around the world, and many of his videos now carry more than 55 million reproductions.The translation into the world of cinema has not taken long to arrive thanks to some independent films, and especially to the bells that have been made through Internet, even raising 10,000 dollars in a very short time.
Something that is not over Ina very well to understand, since the virtues of Slenderman do not go beyond doing evil and capturing children through their long claws.Their dark and hypnotic presence for many is able to become a Authentic obsession today for much of the youth population.Slender Man is associated with the forest, can move at high speed and sometimes has the virtue of inoculating in his victims the so-called Slender disease, where one falls into a state of paranoia, accompanied by delusions, nightmares and nosebleeds.
The BBC actually calls the phenomenon Slender Man, the first "great myth of the web" , and the truth is that all this would be in the category of anecdote and youth fashion, if the phenomenon had not already come out of that medium in which it was born: Internet.A while ago, two 12-year-old American teenagers attacked a companion in a forest.They tried to take her life through 19 knives so with whom, simply, they only wanted to impress that being who lives in the woods.That thin and faceless man who enjoys doing evil to children: Slenderman.Fortunately, the young woman did not lose her life.A terrible act and frightening, no doubt.
Psychologists, sociologists and educators are now looking for the reason why no one comes to understand.That sinister mechanism through which someone can reach feel authentic devotion to a being who lives in the world of nightmares...
