User blog comment:AustinDR/PE Proposal: Slappy the Dummy/@comment-40177719-20200105211136

Yes. He honestly stands out if you compare him to certain monsters of the Goosebumps. A really deranged sadist who is also some sort of kind of pedophile. As you mentioned, in Bride Of The Living Dummy, he tried to MARRY  the main protagonist.. WHO IS A CHILD. Plus, most of the victims Slappy tries to enslave on almost of all of his appearances are girls who are either teens or kids. Even if he has his fair share of comical moments, Goosebumps is extremely cheesy and so over the top sometimes. Even though he sometimes assists the heroes in helping, in Horror Land. Like you said, The Villainous Menace was threatening to try to kill every character in that book which also meant Slappy, so that would not make him On & Off and just want him to stay alive. One more factor: most of the villains in the entire Goosebumps franchise as a whole don't have a moral agency. Slappy is one of the few that does.
