MODERATORS
This is something that bothers me a lot with Shounen anime. The evil guys are just goblins or orcs, and the humans see it right, just even, to genocide the everlasting fuck out of these creatures without any remorse.
Goblin Slayer is surprisingly the least guilty of this, in the sense that it sees its inhuman enemy as a cunning equal... whilst having no qualms massacring scores of them, children and all. Same with Frieren to some degree.
Shinsekai Yori (From the New World) is the only anime I know that gets this completely right.
Dungeon Meshi represents orcs very well, they're a society based on raiding and seen as savages, because they were banned from owning land on the surface and forced into dungeons. They turn out to be very reasonable people and are honestly more civilised than Laios, the main character.
Laios isn't uncivilized, he's just autistic. Don't do my boy wrong like this.
