    but the plot is actually very wholesome

    If you seriously believe the wacky genocide hijinx are wholesome because the writers conjured up excuses for them that you buy into, I really have nothing more to say to you about this.

    You don’t have to, we don’t have to have this conversation.

    I'd rather not go further down this cryptofascist genocide apologia rabbithole, no matter how "wholesome" its writers supposedly presented it.

      Then we can agree that the show centers female agency in ways unusual for modern art and that is laudable? That really is the only point t I care about here.

      I would also say that fantasy genocide is a common enough part of even mainstream liberal art that in this moment it isn't really remarkable, but we have some disagreement there.

      I don't really care about the goblins, neither does the author, and neither do you. You care because you feel the goblins are secretly not goblins, but regular people. Which is a claim neither of us are really deeply invested in considering. However it is interesting to consider I think.

      Do I have what we are saying accurate here?

        Just reading along, this seems accurate? Would it be easier if the goblins weren't so humanoid? What if they were mosquitoes?

          That would just be aliens. Except anime hicks has anime ptsd and anime signorny weaver tries to help him to restore her faith in anime God. So a less good anime version of it. Which is still why better than most anime
