the reason for the name of the slashs is: if they'd fall, do they fall forward or backward?

/ forward slash

\ backward slash

For me, “forward” and “backward” are not applicable to the text, because they are in the different plane. Forward-backward vector lies on the line of sight, that's orthogonal to monitor or paper/book.
