Stu: "See, we ask you a question and if you get it wrong, BOOYAH! You die." Billy: "And if you get it right? You die!" AKA, the reason why you don't debate sealioning trolls online. They're Stu and Billy. They don't care if you know the answer; they just want to play the game.

You don't have to have a working knowledge of "tropes" and "meta" and/or manipulate them deliberately for your work to home in on psychological truths. Craven was a former Humanities professor. Just because we didn't use the term "woke" back then doesn't mean he wasn't woke.

A lot of the truths reflected in horror ARE accidental or incidental - that's part of the genre's strength. But I would contend that Craven, of all people, knew what he was doing more than most. You're doing him a disservice.

That's right, but I think in Craven's case there's nothing to worry about. He's always been a filmmaker concerned with social issues first, then crafting them into horror contexts. His meta-takes just came in later, playing on the reception of his works.
