      I feel the idea of it is also influential in itself; as in, people will happily assume anything that makes them uncomfortable is also Cautionary Tale Fiction

      Keep running into people going “Ah, obviously these characters are suffering their deserved comeuppance” and having to squint and go “…I mean they didn’t get rescued from the plot by the hand of Good and I like that in a chain of cause and effect but what.”

      People who feel comfortable with cautionary tales are disproportionately likely to be willing and happy to build plots around what they think they deserve and assume everyone else does too, therefore sufficient conflict or misfortune proves moral iniquity, I guess?

      Yeah I remember John Carpenter actually getting upset about the whole Final Girl concept and saying he never intended Halloween to be a story about teenagers being "punished for having sex"

      Standard “conservatism fights dirty” problem I guess People with a commitment to the idea of a morally prescriptive universe with a bow on it will be willing and able to believe they’re looking at it, because that’s what they think a universe means

      So “No, this is not how this story goes, there is an absence of that” doesn’t end up legible when embedded in the narrative and parses as nonsensical when said

      “But what’s the moral” “There isn’t one, I wanted to look at something I find neat” “But it’s a story, so there’s a moral. Why won’t you take responsibility for that moral” It’s what the accurate statement ‘everything is political’ gets warped into in order to bludgeon people

      Yeah, that's a good point. One odd thing in this is that despite a kind of plausible moral ideology (punishing sex), nobody really talks about it as having a behavioral impact.

      If the viewers can analyze and say "this movie is about the punishment of sexuality" but none of them ever change their opinions on sexual morality because of it, we're in a different land altogether.

      There's a whole discussion to be had about how horror isn't really about portraying a moral order you actually agree with and if you did it probably wouldn't really be horror

          But this is one of those situations where “meanwhile: Cyrus” recursively proves the general rule in a way I… can’t quite articulate right now

          honestly my own take that carol clover was basically right: the essential libidinal moment of slasher horror is when a woman picks up a machete and hacks a man to death it's a passion play, where you start weak and victimized but overcome

          we can see this in the evolution of slashers, where yes of a certainty the original Final Girls were virginal and pure and their friends weren't but modern horror eschews that, often very deliberately yet the story still plays on the same goddamn beats it was never essential.
