Frieren is so good when you don't have some racist prick in your ear screaming about how demons are libs and minorities

That's a different argument though - they can be described as psychopathic and lacking empathy, sure, but there are humans who lack empathy, and they're still people. The demons clearly have logical thought processes but have very different goals & priorities that are orthogonal to humans'. It all seems very "handwavy" and inconsistent to me, and if that's the creator's 5d chess maneuvers to create a discussion then I suppose I'm not on their level lol.
I'm just weary and wary of this "fantasy race you can just kill without feeling bad about" trope
This reminded me of the parasites in the anime parasite, they are predators and sociopathic, but still clearly people, and the ones who were raised by humans are cool.
Exactly - I think there's a lot of fuel for what, I think, would be interesting fiction.
