I read (past tense) the manga yeap. Anime watched it as well.
I don’t dislike the concept of an evil race of barbaric, unintelligible, long nosed, exotic assholes who ruins the lives of europeans (or what I assume is some anachronistic nondescript european setting) and rape their
white what I assume to be mostly fair-skinned women. I don’t dislike the concept of a stupid midgety ugly bastard who is weak and rely on great numbers to overwhelm you and fuck up your day.
I just don’t vibe with the protagonist. He seems to be
someone’s ideal motherfucker, complete with ideal wife materials. Nevermind the fact that there
exists an actual walking one-woman-invincible-army.
Your Goblin Slayer there, embodies a fetish that is
absolutely irresistible for every one on this planet, namely: Hard Work and dedication. Your boi GS is a hard working, honest, pragmatic, cunning, asexual, non-racist, non-sexist workaholic, handsome dude who somehow endears people through
ACTION. He’s picture perfect!
Now I’m not against hard work and dedication, I’m just wondering if GS is a product of
satire considering how amazingly
normal that guy is.
To note: I don’t hate the series. I like it. the girls are cute as per anime standard and considering I love hentai, it’s a plus, seeing them naked (raped or otherwise). I like the camaraderie between the main party members and the humors hit more than miss. Your boi GS has a super dry sense of humor, and I sometimes
wonder if he actually is
smirking under that helmet. Half the time the manga is cute, when it’s just goofing around.
But then stuff keeps popping up that reminds me why I got major beef with the way the narrative seem to put our boi on some pedestal.
