I won't argue for it on moral grounds (it paints a right wing view of the world) but I personally enjoyed it cause I like violent animes, I like monsters, and I like earnestly played out negative personality traits in protagonists (I liked re:zero for example back when the main character was genuinely selfish and cruel at times, but when he grew as a person and became more selfless I kind of got bored). Also I've never seen a story where the protagonist went from being the heroic guy you rooted for who struggled so thoroughly for every victory into a horrific monster you could no longer empathize with at the end; a monstrous antagonist and the villain of the story (trying to make him human at the end there kind of ruined the impact).
Again, not gonna argue it on moral grounds and it's definitely very reactionary, but there's already a lot of really good positive happy-go-lucky stories like one piece, dragon ball, etc, and I wanted monsters, violence, despair and inhumanity (inhumanity done interestingly, not inhumanity just for the sake of it).
I'm a horror movie fan; I like horrific stories and I also like violence in anime (and my favorite horror movies are ones with actual creatures and gore, and by creatures I mean stuff like the thing, not werewolves).
Goblin slayer on the other hand is NOT what I'm looking for; from the always evil goblins, to the mostly lacking personality of the protagonist, to the anime just basically being murder porn, this anime is not for me and violence alone was not gonna do it for me.
