I'm not crusading for it to be stripped of its title. That would be too much work for everyone. I'm expressing that I don't think it should have won it in the first place and I earnestly hope that another non-creepypasta (and these "sadpastas" as you call them are not subgenres of creepypastas, but a separate genre entirely) does not earn it again in the future, because that would mean it took the place of a competitor that was, in actuality, a creepypasta, and that could have won instead.

The whole point of CPotM is to bring well-written creepypastas into maybe a bit of limelight, earn them some popularity. On a creepypasta website, this benefit should be reserved for creepypastas.
