      Perhaps because they are fantasy monster and in the case of goblin slayer not meant to be a racial stand in for a real life minority but instead are, you know, a fantasy monster

      You can point to harry Potter goblins and say that they are clearly an anti semitic caricature

      What are goblin slayer goblins meant to represent? Is there some specific ethnicity there? Ah, curious.

      “They’re an Other!” okay so basically you don’t want any humanoid monsters involved because any Other is automatically some sanction of real world racism

      Zzzzzzzzzzzz

      This is a waste of both our time

        What I’m asking is why are you so sure that the goblins in goblin slayer aren’t meant to be a stand in for a real life minority? Why do you identify the ones in Harry Potter immediately as an anti-semitic caricature? What is the difference?

        I don’t feel like I’m wasting my time.

          Because being hooked nosed gold loving bankers who are literally designed to look like that hand wringing merchant guy that gets play on 4chan is like, The Anti Semitic Trope? What are “green little rapists who live in caves” supposed to be? Like what the fuck lol. Vague shit about green skinned primitives is not on the same level as what Harry Potter did, it’s wild to even think a person exists that would think so
