      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.

      Again, Carpenter said he never intended Laurie Strode to be read as "virginal and pure" The irony he intended was a much more practical one, that by being forced into a boring night at home babysitting she's exposed to danger less than her friends out having fun

      But it's not that she doesn't WANT to party, or hasn't partied before The whole point of them inviting her out and her reluctantly refusing is that she has

      A lot of ingredients go into making the Final Girl stereotype and most of them taken in isolation are just about the practicalities of drama than morality Of course it's the one friend who's stuck at work who lives while their friends out having fun are getting picked off

      Just like if you want to keep ratcheting tension up then obviously it's the least experienced and skilled character who keeps surviving while the older and wiser and tougher characters fail

      I mean hey look - the actual explicit codifier of the Final Girl concept is Friday the 13th, in that the killer's motive is explicitly stated to be hunting down irresponsible partying teenagers But the Final Girls don't actually survive because they're "pure'

      It feels like people count on them not being morally tainted by the ruthlessness because it’s Correct and also Desirable, so they retcon purity from that

      Final Girls are really just notable because they're a gender flipped version of the tough male endurance hero, who endures because of the purity of his will So it's less about feminine "virtue" and more about being above the influence of vices that make you vulnerable

      Halloween is interesting here, with Carpenter retconning that Laurie is the target of Michael Myers' obsession because she's his secret sister, and that Laurie's "loneliness" in the first movie wasn't so much about her "virtue" as making her and Michael Not So Different

      (One major asset to surviving a slasher movie is being the one victim who has the capacity to empathize with the monster, though whether that's actually "virtuous" is debatable)
