It bothers me because I feel as though I’m being verbally attacked because I enjoy a particular form of entertainment which, need I remind you, is fictional. I know I’ve spoken about this subject ad nauseam ever since Magical Girl Site first dropped at the start of the year, but seeing this happen literally every season just really gets on my nerves. The very same Seinen magazine that ran the likes of Akame Ga Kill! Zero and fucking Ubel Blatt of all things. ![]() Yes, the things that happened in the first episode of Goblin Slayer are pretty gruesome, but the series is based on an incredibly brutal series of Dark Fantasy Light Novels that received an equally gory Manga adaptation that ran in a Seinen magazine. You may not agree with the ideas of a particular work and maybe some of those ideas will even upset you, but not all art is made with you or your preferences in mind, and to expect otherwise is kinda dumb.Īnd before I wrap this up, I have one more thing to ask the people who’ve been attacking this series, its fans and its creators. It’s art and the purpose of art is to express and communicate ideas. Don’t.Īt the end of the day, Anime is fictional. ![]() Don’t make stupid, childish comments that the creators of the show should kill themselves because they animated a fictional thing that made you upset. Don’t tell people that they’re a bad person for liking it or that they shouldn’t enjoy the things that they enjoy. Heck, as a fan of the series who doesn’t agree with the recent negative criticism surrounding the show and who has no problem with its morally questionable content, I’m all for reading the opposite perspective and I’m always up for a mature discussion no matter what side of the table I happen to be on.īut don’t go around criticising the fans of the show for not agreeing with you or for not being offended by the things that offend you. If you want to discuss Goblin Slayer or any other show in a negative light, then you’re free to do so. I have no problem with someone negatively reviewing or discussing a series because it’s full of stuff that they don’t agree with morally or that makes them feel uncomfortable. You’re welcome to criticise the show for that and you’re also welcome to stop watching the show if you’re the kind of person that doesn’t mind dropping stuff. You saw a thing you don’t like and you got triggered. I’m sorry, but who the hell do you people think you are? What gives you the right to tell anyone what they should or shouldn’t be watching? Who made you the judge of what is morally acceptable and what isn’t? What do morals even have to do with liking a fictional Anime series in the first place? ![]() It’s happened to everyone at some point or another and is a perfectly normal and healthy reaction that is, more often than not, completely justified.īut what I don’t understand is when people feel the need to start telling people who enjoy the series and don’t have a problem with the questionable elements of its story that they’re “bad people” and that they “shouldn’t be watching or supporting” a show that they love. I completely understand if someone see’s something terrible happen in a show, such as over the top violence or rape, and it makes them feel angry. Everyone is different and questionable themes and story elements can make certain viewers uncomfortable. It happened with Happy Sugar Life. And now it’s happening again with Goblin Slayer and it’s honestly become so tiring at this point. It seems that every season, like clockwork, a particular show comes out and does something that riles people up to the point that they end up having a genuine hatred for it and feel the need to act as though they’re morally superior than those who don’t agree with them. Regardless of whether or not you know about Goblin Slayer and the controversy surrounding its first episode, I’m so goddamn sick and tired of this shit and I feel I need to say something about it. Or maybe you have absolutely no idea what I’m talking about and I’ve simply been incredibly unlucky and have just happened to stumble upon a ton of these kinds of comments. Perhaps you, the person reading this, are one of these people. People have even gone as far as saying that the show has no right to exist at all. ![]() So unless you’re completely out of the loop of the weekly phenomenon that is seasonal Anime, you’ve probably heard of a show that started airing a few days ago called Goblin Slayer.Īnd if you keep up with the general opinions surrounding currently airing Anime, you’ve also likely seen that a large number of Anime fans have been quick to mount the high horse of moral superiority once again and start attacking the show, its fans and the people that created it.
