Honestly calling Ben Drowned a ‘creepypasta’ is a disservice to the story, the Ben Drowned Creepypasta is just the first chapter of a longer and more involved multimedia story. It’s like if someone found the novelization of A New Hope and called it an ‘era defining scifi novel’. Not technically wrong, but missing out on crucial parts of the work.
I mean, calling just about any of these a “creepypasta” is a disservice to them as works of fiction.
The term “creepypasta” was originally a pejorative term for the horror blurbs that got passed around 4chan’s /x/.
