    Why do you think the goblins in Goblin Slayer aren’t coded like the goblins in Harry Potter?

    Perhaps because they are fantasy monster and in the case of goblin slayer not meant to be a racial stand in for a real life minority but instead are, you know, a fantasy monster

        You can point to harry Potter goblins and say that they are clearly an anti semitic caricature

        What are goblin slayer goblins meant to represent? Is there some specific ethnicity there? Ah, curious.

        “They’re an Other!” okay so basically you don’t want any humanoid monsters involved because any Other is automatically some sanction of real world racism

        Zzzzzzzzzzzz

        This is a waste of both our time

          What I’m asking is why are you so sure that the goblins in goblin slayer aren’t meant to be a stand in for a real life minority? Why do you identify the ones in Harry Potter immediately as an anti-semitic caricature? What is the difference?

          I don’t feel like I’m wasting my time.
