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

Japanese Frieren fans ask themselves what Himmel would do.
American Frieren fans ask themselves what Himler would do
That literally describes the countless histories of colonialism, actual cannibalism was a real facet of colonial brutality and indigenous groups all over the world were literally hunted by Europeans like game
What the Demons are doing in the setting wouldn't be out of place in any given history concerning colonial atrocity
How much ink is spilled in the later chapters expanding on just how much land humans had lost to the Demon's relentless 1000-year expansion and war of extermination. Humans were reduced to a third of their original territory - Hm, I wonder what that narrative could possibly be alluding to?
Leftists need to stop constructing their takes about media based off what chuds think, chuds are always wrong and by extension your take based on their incorrect assumption will also be wrong
'What chuds think' didn't enter into my thought process. The first thing I learned about Frieren was the baby demon subplot. My thoughts were, in order:
Did you actually watch Frieren or are you just going off second-hand reports about a single scene in isolation?
Why would I watch an anime I thought would be Goblin Slayer-esque cryptofash shit?
Maybe because you're wrong and you've been misled? Have you considered that possibility?
Goblin Slayer is doo-doo garbage, Frieren on the other hand is going to become anime of the decade, the Demons aren't some metaphor for oppressed real world people, they're the ideal Platonic form of the bourgeois and they act like it, both subtextually and in-universe
I'm not kidding, season 2 is a few months away and the chapters that are being animated are going to turn this anime into a global sensation
As a result leftists misled on this series are going to hit a brick wall of cultural delegitimization, if they insist on leveling nonsensical accusations of racism at the frankly hype shit that's about to hit
When I've seen 99 stories use their "inherently evil race that can be righteously exterminated to the last individual" to push fascist ideas, I'm not inclined to expect the 100th to be different. Frieren has built itself on a premise tainted by the ideology and actions of historical and contemporary fascists. People are going to see that and make a judgment based on that because nobody has the time or the patience to watch every episode of every show that comes to their attention, especially ones they don't expect to like.
That makes no sense
lmao I've written an essay worth of paragraphs blowing up takes like yours all over this thread, you guys don't have a leg to stand on beside vague tumblr-ass intuition
At this point I'm beginning to suspect none of you have even watched the anime
Except again, none of you have established HOW it would be imported to real people, when the anime's subtext, lore, presentation, and narrative details and defines demons as the platonic ideal that elites in the real world believe or wish themselves to be
Be honest, you didn't watch the show, that's twice now I've confirmed I'm talking to someone who doesn't have a clue what the anime actually presents
You're just guessing, going off second hand reports and relying on intuition, so you're right I can't argue against a phantom show, so no point in continuing a conversation at this point
