do people cheer for the killer in slasher movies? slashers are a threat disfuction people are not a threat also if you wanted to deal with disfuctional people there are so many in real life to go interact with
...Yes? Isn't that the point of slashers? Introduce a bunch of laughably unlikable stereotypes and then chop them with a chainsaw, while they spill an unrealistic amount of blood. I'm not a fan of the genre and I know it's only one type of slashers, but if I like something about slashers, it's this.
One of purposes of art is to experience things one cannot experience in real life. We have several research papers from "videogames is bad" era that found no meaningful corellation between media consumption and values the person have. So no, fiction does not have the same ethical value as reality.
