    Ok, so you think a minority of posters on Hexbear are over-analyzing the show and are seeing Nazi ghosts where there are none. Ok.

    it’s not like they’re fucking coded like the goblins in Harry Potter, like that’s actual use of goblins as racial allegory

    Why do you think the goblins in Goblin Slayer aren’t coded like the goblins in Harry Potter?

      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.
