Piracy is good and you should do more of it. Use https://aniwave.to/ and https://4anime.gg/ for streaming, and https://nyaa.si/ for torrents. Piracy is the only means of digital protest that audiences have to fight poor worker treatment.
No you're not the only one.
I wouldn't have minded if they were just purely ontologically evil- "They're from hell, they're antithetical to life" kinda deal like the curses in Jujutsu Kaisen. Make them explicitly supernatural and just roll with it because the story needs an uncomplicated villain- yeah ok, understandable.
It's all the in-universe evo psych nonsense given as "world-building" that gives me the heebie-jeebies, especially in the way in which those justifications knowingly or unknowingly mirror real-life bigotries. Having a sapient fantasy race that cannot change their inherent nature due to biology, just so that the protagonists have a narrative excuse to blast them really doesn't sit right with me at all.
Which is a shame because yeah, otherwise the show is actually pretty good, especially at exploring the breadth of human experience. So to have this weird blind-spot is baffling.
Yeah, exactly! There's no reason to put some weird borderline eugenics level understanding of evolution in there, especially in a show set in a magical fantasy world, they can just be magical monsters and it's fine.
Yeah this is why I couldn't stick with watching it.
