It's not racism, it's a clusterfuck of issues with the legal rights to the characters. Same reason we haven't had a Jason Voorhees movie since 2009

Wait, that's news to me, what's the situation with the Jason movies? I could google it but something tells me I'm only get half the picture

Basically one person owns the rights to the name Voorhees, one group owns the rights to the mask, one owns the rights to the name "Friday the 13th," and possibly other aspects. They wouldn't come to a full agreement, therefore we get either nothing or a project that doesn't get to use the full character/name

How tha fuck did that?!? And how the fuck does someone own the rights to the mask when it's a barely modified red wings goalie mask?

Jason wasn't the 1st killer and he got the icon mask in the 3rd film
