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.

In that it is no worse than any regular Tolkien or DnD media. Or even like cape shit. I dunno. Maybe I was being overly generous but I felt like everyone wanted a better solution and it was just one guy being an exterminator. I know Japan has that weird kinda class conscious streak but I really picked up on that element here. Like, if instead of goblins they were zombies I think the show wouldn't change.
Believe that all you want, but I call bullshit. False equivalencies are exhaustively common for people trying to justify whatever entertainment they consume and I know it's impossible to convincingly talk you out of yours so I won't even try.
People often talk about weird race essentialism in fantasy media. Orcs, gnolls, trolls, pick an evil fantasy race. There is a book or show where the goody two shoes heros kill countless of them. In this that we have a protagonist who is clearly suffering with PTSD and a broken man this seems more honest about it. I am not saying they do it well. It just really seems to me like they tried and it is fascinating as a bit of media history there
I already said I'm not interested in your sophistic excuses for why you enjoy a titillating sexual violence extravaganza with nationalist-genocide apologia.
