Yeah I genuinely don’t understand the folks who are getting upset at Frieren of all things.
Like, yes I get the undertones of evolutionary psychology. Nobody is saying that shit is cool. However, to say the demons in Frieren justifies that thought is a bit reaching. The point of the demons is to subvert typical fantasy anime villain tropes and make Frieren (the character) look cool. No it’s not cool that the author used racist undertones to do so.
One could even view the argument as a defense of fascism; fascists and psychopaths are sentient people with thoughts and feelings too, should they be allowed in society?
Again, evolutionary psychology is not cool. Nobody is saying it is. But being bothered by Frieren to the point where it ruins the experience is the opposite of critical consumption of media. We all wear clothes made by slaves and browse this site on devices mined by slaves and assembled using slavery and yet don’t condemn each others existences daily.
There are fascists in the streets killing people right now. It’s okay to take a breather sometimes with a media that is slightly flawed while recognizing its flaws.
Saw this and thought of our conversation
that fucking rocks
You mean an attack or critique against fascism? Imagine letting a nazi soldier run away cause he cried for his momma, and then he comes back with an entire squad? Should you have killed them? Let them go? Are we better for having mercy? Or foolish, for allowing ourselves to think of them as human?
