A Tale of Two Stalkers | Creepshow Art and Propain
Published 2022-06-13
Creepshow Art, a once prolific YouTuber in the art community, allegedly stalked and harassed another well known artist within the community, Emily Artful, for more than a decade.
The second case involves Propain, a former moderator for a well known World of Warcraft streamer over on Twitch, Nalipls. His online campaign of harassment and stalking against her went on for two years.
This is a concerning trend and I wanted to delve into the psychology behind this behavior and speculate as to what may motivate someone to do something so troubling.
