Goblins should be silly little guys that don't give a fuck. Sucks that some shitty writers have turned them into an anti-semetic caricature.

I like silly little guys.

I want a fantasy thing where the goblin is the hero. Let goblins win for once.

Goblins should either be silly green dudes or machinebuilding slaver warlords

Either way they gotta have fun songs

It's true. It's sort of forgotten context, but one of the most canonical silly songs in western music, In the Hall of the Mountain King, is about a goblin court that wants to eat a guy.

Down, down to goblin town.
Down, down to goblin town.
Yo-ho my lad!
Ho-ho my lad!

What about silly green machine building dudes?

Mad scientist goblins are best goblins.
