text to text: in government class last year we watched a video of a young boy who fatally stabbed a woman working in a store he was robbing, and the words incompetent really stick out to me here. I believe they were similar in age and both attempted homicide, one succeeding, and both instances are generally upsetting to the public (this is probably obvious since theyre both murders or attempts at murders....)
text to world: This kind of reminds me of jack the ripper (who was supposedly recently identified but youre going to have to assign another blog to get me to get into that one, theres too much to write), kind of because there was stabbing but i think mostly because they both involve horror story elements. Jack the Ripper has been a classic trope in serial horror for a long time, and slenderman was a really popular internet "creepypasta", and starred in a horror game of his own.
text to self: I have definitely not experienced anything like this, the closest connection I can make is that I've played the slenderman horror games and read some of the stories people come up with, but i cant grasp these two kids attempting murder to appease him...
