To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Goosebumps. The horror is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of it will go over a typical reader’s head. There’s also Slappy’s nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation- his personal philosophy draws heavily from Stephen King literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of the horror, to realise that they’re not just scary- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Goosebumps truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn’t appreciate, for instance, the humour in Slappy’s existential catchphrase “Slave!,” which itself is a cryptic reference to Stephen King’s American epic Maximum Overdrive. I’m smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as R.L. Stine’s genius horror unfolds itself on their book pages. What fools.. how I pity them. 😂

And yes, by the way, i DO have a Slappy tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It’s for the ladies’ eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that they’re within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand. Nothin personnel kid 😎
