Guillermo del Toro's whole career has been about sympathy for the monster, and taking the monster's side, but Pacific Rim is this movie where people get in these big robots and fight the monsters, all of which are female—it's a plot point in the movie—and many of which have names like 'Slattern'.

But the trend dates back much further than Sex and the City; The Golden Girls had Blanche, Rose, Dorothy, and Sophia, and Designing Women had Suzanne, Charlene, Julia, and Mary Jo. Libby Hill (who's married to Vox culture editor Todd VanDerWerff) points this out in a great essay for the AV Club: Female social circles, particularly on sitcoms, are often represented in groups of four, which then break down personality-wise into the following established female archetypes, which I'll call the Slattern, the Simpleton, the Cynic, and the Center.

G. A. Henty had one of his heroes stolen as a toddler, and another lost to his father's family but both acquire, through fortunate circumstances, the manners and polish of gentlemen, rather than being what one would expect from their upbringing in the workhouse or as fisher-lads. In contrast, when the lost child is discovered in Mann's The Victim (1917) the child is exactly what her experience of neglect, the workhouse, domestic service, and an unsatisfactory husband could be expected to make her, a foul-mouthed slattern. Some of Mann's novels continue to be republished. In 2005 Eastern Angles Theatre Company used a collection of her characters and stories to create a new play A Dulditch Angel.

Onibaba, the Kaiju that orphans Mako Mori, resembles a fusion of a Japanese temple and a crustacean. Slattern, the largest Kaiju, is distinguished by its extremely long neck and "half-horn, half-crown" head, which del Toro considered both demonic and majestic. Gipsy Danger, the American Jaeger, was based on the shape of New York City's Art Deco buildings, such as the Chrysler Building and the Empire State Building, but infused with John Wayne's gunslinger gait and hip movements. Cherno Alpha, the Russian Jaeger, was based on the shape and paint patterns of a T-series Russian tank, combined with a giant containment silo to give the appearance of a walking nuclear power plant with a cooling tower on its head.

Augustine of Hippo in The City of God (II.7) cites Chaerea's speech from Act III, Scene 5, on the descent of Jupiter onto the lap of Danaë in the form of a golden shower as an authoritative precedent to justify his own licentious behaviour as likely to corrupt schoolboys. Dante alludes to Terence's Thais in Canto 18 of the Inferno, where he encounters the flatterers, who are covered with human waste. Virgil points to one of the suffering souls: :At that juncture, my leader said to me, : “Now send your gaze a little further forward : So that your eye may rest upon the face :Of that slovenly and disheveled slattern 130 : Scratching herself there with her shitty nails, : Who can’t decide between standing and squatting. :That is Thaïs, the whore who once replied : To a lover asking, ‘Have I found much favor : With you?’—‘Indeed, I’d say the very most!’ :And let this be enough for our perusal.” From an unpublished translation of the Inferno by Peter D'Epiro.
