A perfectly fair and reasonable reaction to Malaya's bullshit.
Like, seriously, how has she managed to avoid being shot so far?
I don't hate Marcie, but I applaud Sal for finally giving her a piece of her mind. Even if by accident.

Malaya. Marcie is Sal's friend who wants in Malaya's pants for some reason. Malaya is the girl in this comic that Sal just (completely justifiably) told to fuck off.
Even if she did say it to Becky and Joyce first.

Yeah, I think that the sitcom has been officially cancelled just now. Sal does not want her best friend to be with something so obviously horrible.

Is that wise, given how hard Jocelyne is hiding in the closet?
Wait, how does Ethan know - oh wait there was an email address or something right?
Gosh I wish I could talk to my brothers about stuff. I'm in Joyce's boat where siblinging are these akwars people you used to live with.
Yes, and presumably they started communicating afterwards. So Ethan certainly knows in detail.

I want to argue with Joyce's statement in panel 4......but I have a little sister.

Joyce is developing a knack for this kind of deceptive thinking.
I don't like people knowing things about me either.

YEEEEAH— no.
I'm between Joyce's age and Willis's, and my parents made us costumes and took us trick or treating until I was just about to get to the age where it seems from pop culture like it's the best time for Halloween, and then my mother learned that Halloween is satanic and we weren't allowed to go trick or treating anymore. She was the one who hosted an alternative-to-Halloween party for the handful of my classmates whose parents didn't want us eating candy and drinking punch while listening to Monster Mash, and instead we ate candy and drank punch while watching Oliver And Company.
Eventually, my church started hosting Trunk Or Treat safe Halloween events, but I was already old enough to be passing out candy rather than getting it.

I'm guessing your mother was one of those kinds of people. Ironically, Halloween was originally a pagan holiday used to "ease" recent converts to christianity.

So I guess I'm missing it. What was Joyce's family's problem with Halloween?

halloween comes from various pagan practices (the one that comes to my mind immediately is Samhain [pronounced "sow-in"], a celtic pagan holiday marking the start of the winter season, effectively) and as such some christians aren't keen on it since it's got, effectively, heathen ties to it.
we don't know what her family's particular issue was with it, but every christian i've talked to with an issue to it tends to cite its origins.

I'm mostly baffled by how these 180s happen. Like, what changes, to make them go from "yeah ok" to "hell no"? The holiday itself is completely the same, with all the exact same spook aesthetic.

It is more likely that, at some point, they were told by someone they consider to be a moral authority that Halloween was bad. These people's lives begin and end with the church.
It's really good that Joyce's siblings ensures that she didn't miss out on the experience. That's, super heart warming.
She looks like Roxy from homestuck.
