      Maybe because you’re wrong and you’ve been misled? Have you considered that possibility?

      Goblin Slayer is doo-doo garbage, Frieren on the other hand is going to become anime of the decade, the Demons aren’t some metaphor for oppressed real world people, they’re the ideal Platonic form of the bourgeois and they act like it, both subtextually and in-universe

      I’m not kidding, season 2 is a few months away and the chapters that are being animated are going to turn this anime into a global sensation

      As a result leftists misled on this series are going to hit a brick wall of cultural delegitimization, if they insist on leveling nonsensical accusations of racism at the frankly hype shit that’s about to hit

        When I’ve seen 99 stories use their “inherently evil race that can be righteously exterminated to the last individual” to push fascist ideas, I’m not inclined to expect the 100th to be different. Frieren has built itself on a premise tainted by the ideology and actions of historical and contemporary fascists. People are going to see that and make a judgment based on that because nobody has the time or the patience to watch every episode of every show that comes to their attention, especially ones they don’t expect to like.
