[dead meat] If the Kill Counts are teaching me anything it's that horror movies are, as a whole, reluctant to kill women
Quinneapolis
I've yet to see one where more women than men die
Quinneapolis
not sure exactly what this says
Quinneapolis
maybe killing women is considered too "mean" in the same way killing children is or something
Quinneapolis
because they're perceived as more helpless?
Quinneapolis
itk
Quinneapolis
idk
DrugsJulius
probably something like that
Quinneapolis
I feel weird about the observation because it might come off as "in conclusion we need MORE WOMEN TO DIE for EQUALITY"
Quinneapolis
but it's just, an observation about horror movie trends
DrugsJulius
I mean ppl gonna die in horror movies so
Rabbit Crimes
I feel like it's probably a weird leveling effect from how different subgenres of horror pick "valid" victims
Rabbit Crimes
(that and I'm not sure if less women die in horror movies due to a reluctance to kill off women or a reluctance to cast more women)
Quinneapolis
also plausible
Quinneapolis
I don't know the percentages, just the raw death numbers

there's the Final girl - Wikipedia trope
Quinneapolis
this holds up even in movies without a clear Final Girl too tho
Quinneapolis
oh definitely
Quinneapolis
like to be clear this also isn't me going "look how progressive horror is by not doing as much violence to women" or anything
Quinneapolis
it's weird and complex and not great, like most social trends
Rama
Women die less because men are devalued in violent films, rather thanwomen being envalued
Quinneapolis
tangent but

I can't think about the Saw series at all without my brain short-circuiting to
