Movie Has a Woman Killer and a Woman Heroine


Insanely woke for 1980.
The original Friday the 13th was a wokefest before wokeness:

Mrs. Pamela "Woke Non-Binary Looking" Voorhees used her strength to kill straight cisgender white men and straight cisgender white women.

A skinny 50 year old non-binary looking woman Mrs. Voorhees killing a bunch of young and fit straight white males and throwing their bodies around like they are wet noodles... She seems to have the strength of Superman and the speed of The Flash the way she got around that camp and threw the bodies through the windows and hung them up on the doors with ease.

The final fight was also 2 women.

Couldn't be any more woke if Robin DiAngelo herself wrote it.

Great film regardless.

Yeah. And funnilly enough quite a few of the sequels had female survivors as well.

That’s pretty common for the genre.

That doesn't make it woke, woke wasn't even a concept back then. Oh boy.....

I like this movie. I don't think it's woke. More just agreeing there was women in the movie. He's the fool.

As Halloween (1978) went with the same old cliche of "straight white male killer" with Michael Myers, Sean S. Cunningham decided to "go woke" with Friday the 13th in 1980 and have a female be the killer while simultaneously having another female lead character killing the female killer. The men did not survive and were all killed by an old woman. So woke I can't even see anymore.

Go woke, go broke. Enjoy making zero profits, F13th Franchise, you stupid idiot!

Sean S. Cunningham's net worth is $20 million. Very woke, indeed.

I didn’t mean to reply directly to you.

That poor son of a bitch. I hope he’s ok.

Still can't believe how non-binary she looked for 1980.

reply

There's nothing remotely "woke" about this movie, you're looking into things that aren't there.
