So I'm getting very annoyed that a lot of fans in the horror/slasher fandom (mainly young people) 'preach' about how bad Freddy is because he's this and that. Mainly poiting out that he's a pedo.
And of course people are free to dislike a character for whatever reason,
and obviously pedos are the worst and should just be erased from existence.
But I feel like Freddy is getting way too much hate solely based on that fact, more hate than other slasher characters.
And the thing is, that in the OG 80's movie he was MEANT to be a pedo, but they scrapped that.
So in the movie, he's a childkiller, not a pedo, they added that part of his character in the remake version, and from what I know and have seen, people like the OG Freddy more than the remake one.

But people are still giving him hate for that, all while they love and worship all the other slasher killers, who are just as bad as Freddy, if not worse, and who also in off-script was meant to be something else.
And this is pretty much way of saying: "Hey, this character you like is just as bad as this character you hate, so give them the same treatment."
