This would mean Jeff The Killer is pure evil, which he isn't.

no it doesn't.. characters are individuals and judged as such.. sweeping statements don't invalid anything.. and Jeff the Killer is just a glorified revenge fantasy anyway so it goes without saying he'd not be seen as "evil" when his very story is about the glorification of a mass-murderer.

Jeff may be very popular but his stories have never been great on the morals department.. he's a slasher - he doesn't apply to the norms.. slash fics can make anyone sympathetic, no matter what they do.. because that's the nature of that media.

it's not a bad media either, it's just the way it has always been with stuff like that ever since things like "I Spit On Your Grave" etc.
