‘terrifier has no story, it’s all gore!’ ‘terrifier is just one big gore fest!’ ‘it’s just gore porn!’ ‘people who watch this are sick!’
1. It’s a slasher movie, plot was never gonna be that serious to begin with. they never are.
2. Saw is gore porn too, and it’s been in the cultural realm since the early 2000’s. When it first came out it was said to be torture porn, too. I know—I was there.
3. It’s transgressive media, it’s a breath of fresh air. Liking a clown cutting people up doesn’t make you fucked up in the head, never has and never will. Put down the christian right wing talking points and chill. It’s not that serious. It was never that serious. And moreover it’s not real.
#tiktok has been really just tearing into my last nerve and i know it’s a matter of time until people shut up about it like they did saw#but boy it’s so exhausting#if you don’t like it that’s fine just leave it at that#when’s the last time we had a new slasher to this caliber? LEAVE POOKIE ALONE#anyway................#I had to get this off my chest in a safe space#the pervasiveness of purity culture and assumption of someone’s morality based on what they consume is so… capitalistic and wrong?
