Honestly tired of seeing both mentally ill people + lesbians (im in both categories) being only used as plot devices & shock value.. :)))

wow what a highly logical piece of advice. i love horror and i believe the genre can benefit from more thought and less relying on those redundant, stereotyping tropes.

when was a mentally ill lesbian used as a shock value plot twist in a horror movie before?

Right?!

I'm sure serial killers, rapists, and poltergeists are tired of being used as plot devises too, but you don't hear them complaining. Just watch a movie with the knowledge that unless it's a documentary, it's fiction.
