Lmao I think I started this “struggle session”, or at least one with the same topic. I called Goblin Slayer gross and disgusting, and some treat defender tried to debate lord.
As for the anime being “progressive”, I remember they tried to argue that it represents class struggle because in the anime the nobles didn’t care about the peasants, or some other contrived bullshit that demonstrated a complete nonunderstanding of what class struggle is. It was a kneejerk reaction to the poster’s precious treat getting badmouthed.
The whole premise of that show is fascist. Unless there's some backstory that I'm unaware of where the goblins are waging a national liberation struggle against humans encroaching on their indigenous lands, it's just the usual "Asiatic locust swarm horde in human form that only knows how to rape and pillage" fascist trope, except with green humanoids instead of (European) humans.
Wait someone didn't get that Goblin Slayer was just legit old time "all goblins are evil" DnD-ing with the most lightest of fucking character "development" (if you call not wanting to address PTSD a character trait)?
edit for clarity: i.e. it's a really bad tropie mess similar to most old school fantasy schlock with additional sexual violence against women
