That is lazy on my part. However mosquitos are intelligent creatures and deserve life as much as any other. They just happen to be obligate paracites. Which is uncomfortable.
Goblins are shown to be roughly chimpanzee smart, with similar temperament. The sexual paracitism was created by a dark God that hated people if I recall the lore correctly. Yes it is all fake and artificial. However if we aren't going to let the writer write what is the point of even having the conversation? Given the McGuffin constraints the show does interesting things with them. There is a bunch of dumb edgelord shit but under that is stuff more interesting than most random anime have. It is like French new wave cinema except the bar is lower.
It is not exactly like killing a human. You should still try to find other ways. Similar goblins are not exactly like humans. Which is a point you are missing here. You can't have it both ways. If they are exactly like humans raiding villages and taking slaves would probably warrant war. Especially if you are a poor farm village. What could they do? Do they jail them? That is alot of mouths to feed in a hard winter. The nobility is not going to help them now. They definitely aren't going to pay for goblin rehabilitation. These aren't modern people. They don't have modern resources.
The premise of the story is what do you do when you only have bad choices. It is grimdark. If we don't belive grimdark has artistic merrit that is fine. If we grant that it can however, the artistic statements made by this show are more interesting than those made many shows we would consider unremarkable.
It isn't necessary for survival. The hero is the only one doing it. The rich are perfectly happy to let the occasional peasant village burn. If goblins are anyone they are white people raiding poor villages, doing sexual violence, and leaving without consequence. That is how we treat the indigenous in reservations to this day. That is the wild west. In which case killing the settlers would have been perfectly valid would it not?
Yeah, the gimmick though is we actually did it. All the things we said we were afraid of them doing we did. We are not liberals. I am not hugely interest I what people say. I am interested in what people so. And we were an encroaching wave of paracites. Had there been a few more cracker slayers among the indigenous people history would likey have turned out better.
So you are telling me the plot is wrong, goblins are fully sentient reasonable creatures? Fine, what is the solution then? I know youbliek to write, so what is the answer to the riddle here?
