Whole thing is about capturing enjoyment from fascist violence (generalization from watching this video 3 years ago)
37 minutes in it talks about the history of it and how its based off/influenced by vile racist shit.
the whole conceit of the show is watch the hero mindlessly slaughter the vile subhumans that rape our women. Like, exact replica of conservative rhetoric
But the writers said that the goblins don’t count as people therefore it isn’t genocide to kill them! :morshupls:
It’s disturbing to me that some self-described “leftists” are making that argument here instead of just accepting that they’ve been entertained by fascist propaganda (which isn’t impossible) and that their entertainment can and maybe should be criticized without knee-jerk toxic fandom bullshit defending it as if the entertainment (or themselves) are threatened by the criticism.
I would like to apologize for the shit that I’ve given you in the past about Treat Enjoyers. I think I just didn’t get it because I hadn’t interacted with them enough. I still think it’s good to try to flush that voice from one’s head, but I can see why it would be difficult and there are worse things you can do than vent about bad things being bad.

Thank you.
I would also like to apologize for being more incendiary back then and not picking my fights more carefully. It’s why I personally haven’t said the t-word in that context for over half a year and counting. It’s just not worth further provoking already toxic fans of lib/fash propaganda that they happen to be entertained by and therefore they refuse to believe that their entertainment contains propaganda.
As I’ve said for a very long time, it’s possible to acknowledge propaganda in things that entertain us and accept that people can be affected by such propaganda. My problem is with tribalistic bullshit where the moral character, personal status, and even the sanity of the critic is challenged by a toxic fan.
I really wish there was a block function on this site, because it’s always the same small handful of very left leftists that tend to have radioactive takes in other subjects that can be summarized as “fuck you, got mine.” :grillman:
