Freddy snake scene with Patricia A. came off as pedo-ish


Anyone get creepy vibes from that scene? The way the Freddy snake was swallowing her legs and looking into her eyes?? It just creep me out and I believe Freddy molested some kids. Ouch.

Wes Craven originally intended to have Freddy has a child molester in the original movie, but wrote it out due to a highly publicised case at the the time. But that was the original intent for the character.

Interesting. Thanks.

Yeah, she's a teenager, not a child. So even if there are sexual undertones, or overtones, in this instance it doesn't make Freddy a paedophile.

Never really see people mention these:

"Hebephilia is the strong, persistent sexual interest by adults in pubescent children who are in early adolescence, typically ages 11–14 and showing Tanner stages 2 to 3 of physical development.[1] It differs from pedophilia (the primary or exclusive sexual interest in prepubescent children), and from ephebophilia (the primary sexual interest in later adolescents, typically ages 15–19).[1][2][3] While individuals with a sexual preference for adults may have some sexual interest in pubescent-aged individuals,[2] researchers and clinical diagnoses have proposed that hebephilia is characterized by a sexual preference for pubescent rather than adult partners.[2][4] "
