i agree that it is rather convenient that all of their prisoners end up being you and attractive women, this is a fair criticism of goblin slayer i think. In universe, i suppose the reason is that the goblins just kill the men outright because they can't be used for reproduction, meaning that all their prisoners happened to be women. And the answer is that they don’t really want to see naked men strapped to shields, they want to see naked women. I think the point was, why are there no male captives? They would be just as useful as human shields. It’s hard then not to see them as hentai monsters rather than just monsters because the way the show kind of depicts the goblin’s attack plan as “get the men out of the way so we can have the women.” And like if the story is supposed to have a focus on rape as a subject and how bad it is, I wonder if it should also have the level of fanservice that it does because it clashes and makes you question the writer’s intent. I’ve watched the first episode of the anime and 20 something chapters of the manga and to me, it feels like the fact that goblins murder people is like second thought to the fact that they rape women. The slow focus on her clothes being cleanly ripped off, the slow panning up her as she’s pushed down, the excited look of the goblin as it tears into her flesh and how the music swells when the goblin starts raping her. The female monk though, her rape is like the climax of that particular sequence of events. The male rookie adventurer is kind of very quickly disposed of by the goblins - you just see the silhouettes of them beating down on him from far away and a shot of his hand as he dies. And the goblin attack sequence takes more time and care to what the goblins do to them. I noticed in the first chapter of the anime, the party of rookie adventures had 2 women who were drawn to be very attractive. If these goblins just take women because they need to procreate, why is it only young and attractive women? And the answer is that they don’t really want to see naked men strapped to shields, they want to see naked women.ĭoesn’t help that all the rape victims are drawn traditionally beautiful with hourglass figures and big boobs. I'd probably wouldn't even have posted without seeing the usual tryhard anime fans drag these arguments out.Ĭlick to shrink.I think the point was, why are there no male captives? They would be just as useful as human shields. And it shows.Įspecially by the arguments the defenders are using, which includes the classic gamergaty "you saw it, so you're the real sexist/racist", used multiple times in this thread alone. The writing is not "okay, I have dangerous goblins, what happens", it is "I want goblins raping women, so how do I write this in a way that gives my drooling audience a fig leaf to justify liking it". The entire setup only exists post-fact to justify the raping on display. Why would people play alone in the forest in such a world? People didn't even do that in medieval europe out of the danger brigands/wildlife posed, and there were no rape goblins around that only grew stronger the more victims they got!
Why would people underestimate goblins to this extent? The only people underestimating wild life IRL are people not used to it, such as europeans coming to such areas, after such animals long went extinct in their home countries. People don't even underestimate the danger of wild *dogs*. In the real world, people living around tigers don't suddenly underestimate tigers just because humans with guns are around. Adventures would not try to fight them in sexy sexy anime attire, just to be raped for the delight of a drooling audience.
If goblins are so dangerous, they would not be underestimated to this level. Of course, the entire thing you guys are defending falls apart under 2 seconds of scrutiny. And the bias of the author shows through painfully. Remember, Monster Zero, Goblin Slayer is not a documentary, it's deliberately written that way by an author. In actual reality, human shields would include any captive, including corpses, but the audience doesn't want to see guys in that position, they want to see women. No, there are only "women shields" because you're reading a rape manga, which delights in showing women sexualized post-rape. The plot of Goblin Slayer season 2 is as mysterious as its release date, yet based on the first season of the anime and the Goblin Slayer film, it’s feasible to guess what the second season will be about.Goblin Slayer fanatics freaking out over a youtube video that correctly predicted their awful defenses of their rape fetish anime will never cease to be funny.
