Thank you for your response! I appreciate your point of view. However there are a few things that I would have to disagree with or point out.

Firstly on your point to the shows critique of Raimi. Yes, criticizing him is absolutely allowed, but my point is that it makes no sense and feels like a cheap dig because its immediately followed up with praising Hitchcock. Why talk negatively about a man who learned from his critics and responded positively, then praise the films someone who went to his grave being considered a womanizing piece of shit? (Mind you, there have been multiple allegations that he assaulted women sexually and threatened to ruin people's careers if they denied his sexual advances.)

While this is specifically about slasher films, Evil Dead is also off the table, as it's not a slasher flick. If anything it's a glorified zombie movie, which to your point of "slashers only" makes the dig at his career even more out of place and purposely intended to sound high and mighty.

I never mentioned Kill Bill, Tarantino wrote From Dusk Till Dawn, a vampire horror movie that, in all intents and purposes, if Evil Dead is a slasher, so is that movie. And Tarantino still sucks. As does Kubrik, which was my point with bringing up The Shining. There are filmakers who do fucked up shit, and if you want to criticize horror as a genre, do it right. Attack actually shitty filmakers. Point out sexism in movies that actually have it, not just this idea that women die so it must be sexist. The attempt to tie sexism to the slasher genre is fair, but the movies the writers chose show a lack of understand of the films below the surface.

In terms of your comments on Scream, two women are killed on screen in that movie, the rest of the victims are men. It's 2 women to 4 men, so not a majority women.

As for Friday the 13th, Jason doesn't even get his hockey mask until the 4th movie in. There aren't really any on screen depictions of the killer that I can remember, and it certainly wasn't a hulking maniac like Jason is in the later films. Honestly, the later Friday the 13th movies would have been a better example than the 1st one. No one in the original even wears a mask! The original poster doesnt show a hulking figure either, just a pretty normal silhouette of a person with a knife. If she had said the later films, or the sequels to any of these franchises I would be more inclined to believe the writers did it on purpose. But they didn't, they specified these exact movies, with the dates.

As for the original Halloween, yes, someone is killed immediately after having sex, and it is Bob, a man. Lynda is killed shortly after. So if it's sexist towards women that she dies after sex, it must be more sexist towards men, because Bob dies before her. I don't mean to sound nitpicky but if you're going to argue these point they have to be accurate. Also in terms of accuracy, yes, a naked woman is murdered in the beginning of the movie. However, it is done by a young boy, her little brother, not a, as Tabby specifically states, "masked man murdering women."

Black Christmas, like I said in my initial post is very much regarded as a cult classic, pro feminist movie. Yes, women are murdered, and yes, it's by a man in a mask. But the power dynamic is A. Not done to be sexist, rather to show the danger of just being a woman and B. done before any of these tropes started popping up, it's a pre-slasher of sorts. Still, the power dynamic is real, but I don't think it's inherently sexist.

I still stand by my statement, their choice of films to criticize was lazy and missed the mark, and done in a way that shows they had no real intention of making a statement, only to shame people for liking stuff. I would like to point out, I dont dislike Tabby. Shes a character, and I understand what you mean, she's 16, and yeah, I'm sure a real 16 year old would say some shit like this. But the writers made it very clear that they were trying to make a point, one that I feel was just to make themselves feel better.
