Slashergender (Horror)

Slashergender is axenogender and aesthetigender that is closely connected to the horror movie genre, but more specifically horror movie slashers. It is a gender that feels associated with slasher film villains, the act of being a slasher villain and/or feeling gender aligned with violence and knives, machetes, and other weapons used by slashers to kill their victims within their respective films.

History
The term may have been coined by g0refaery on Tumblr (unconfirmed).

Flags
The original flag that has been found was shown on a "gender hoard" post by g0refaery on Tumblr, featuring a plethora of identities and their respective flags- and grim's claim to being a coiner of the gender. The layout meanings or color meanings have yet to be stated, and g0refaery has been reached out to for possible comment or confirmation of coining the term. This flag has horizontal stripes going downwards that are dark green, dark brown, light brown, bright red, maroon, and a black stripe with a white silhouetted hand holding a knife at the center of the image.

The alternate flag was created by now deactivated Tumblr user 4ranken4reekie with the help of Twitter user GojiDoesIt. Purple symbolizes the horror genre as a whole, everything scary and spooky and creepy and haunting and fun. Teal symbolizes masks that many slashers wear (including Leslie Vernon, a slasher inspired by other slashers) and the concept of masking for autistic individuals, and being in the closet for LGBTQ+ individuals. Light grey or white symbolizes neurodivergency, and trans and non-binary individuals. Green symbolizes The Final Gender Circuit, a reference to the Final Girl Circuit trope in slasher films. Black symbolizes feeling a connection with horror characters. This can be with either villains or heroes within the horror genre.

The next flag stripe meanings are for the smaller stripes in-between the larger ones, made to look similar to slashes running through the flag. Red symbolizes blood and guts or gore. Neon Blue symbolizes supernatural horror, like "The Ring", "Poltergeist", ghosts, magic lightening, and more. Neon Green symbolizes sci-fi horror, like "Alien", "Predator", "The Thing", "Re-Animator", and more. Orange or Golden Yellow symbolizes manic glee, Halloween (the holiday and the movies), Jack-O-Lanterns, and fire. This flag has horizontal stripes going downwards, with the stripes also varying in size. The five large stripes are purple, teal, light grey/white, dark green, and black. The four small stripes featured in-between each large one are red, neon blue, neon green, and golden yellow/orange.
