Ff14 coblyn slayer
The adventurers talk about the protagonist as if they see him for the first time, when in reality he’s going to the same place as them every day for over a decade. All men are amazed with how handsome he is and all women want his D, and these are supposed to be the same people that were making fun of him so far for being the loser who was only fighting goblins and who for some reason changed their minds after he taught them basic battle tactics against the weakest monsters.And I need to point out how terrible the exposition is. That makes it sound like they do it only for the money, then they contradict that claim by showing how they do it because the protagonist (the very same person they make fun of the whole show) asked them politely and they felt sorry for the guy. Because as we all know, having a sex drive makes you bad.-Having everyone agreeing to fight goblins, not because they threaten the cities with their great numbers but because they get paid for it. Also, that is supposed to make him sympathetic for being an impotent self absorbed autist. Having every other male in the show lusting over his harem bimbos, while himself doesn’t even notice them. And then contradict that claim by:-Having every single girl in the show lusting over the autistic guy that will never respond to their romantic innuendoes. It’s not even consistent in terms of dramatization, as in the early episode the other adventurers look down on the protagonist for only going after silly looking goblins. Why are you dramatizing him? You are destroying the empowerment fantasy. Also, the protagonist is supposed to be a faceless badass everyone can self insert, as he’s mercilessly killing innocent goblin babies. Trying to be funny and sad at the same time creates only complete trash. But when it’s done mostly through graphical rape or the narration of a bimbo with bouncing boobs, it destroys all sense of dramatization. I mean, it’s a great thing to have a show spending some time on fleshing out the tragic backdrop of the protagonist. Also the camera is constantly zooming on jiggling boobs and asses instead of hiding the women behind the goblins which are supposed to be surrounding them. Also, anyone who thinks this show is not using rape in a tasteless titillating way, you constantly see it happening on screen even when it could be kept out of screen and have the same result, or be described in detail even when the protagonist didn’t care to find out. You can’t be over the top in both sides of the argument and expect to be taken seriously.

It’s like a war movie that wants to show the horrors of war, while at the same time making war to look like the coolest shit ever. They are both right, because Goblin Slayer wants to keep the cake and eat it too. As for the rape, the only thing people will remember the show for, it became a controversial topic because half the people call it necessary for showing the grim setting, and half the other people call it unnecessary because it’s presented as sexy. How can you take any of that seriously? Especially when they are not treated as comedy. Is that what you expect to see in dark fantasy? There is a part where an army of monsters led by an undead king are about to sacrifice naked women, and the whole thing is ruined by the sudden appearance of three silly looking girls with hair ribbons and cat ear hoodies, that defeat everyone with one hit.

The show is full of cute girls blushing, puffing their cheeks, and being playful at the time. In Goblin Slayer you are never given the impression you are watching a dark fantasy because everyone looks and behaves like a cosplayer in some crappy high school slapstick otaku comedy. Berserk has characters who look and behave like they are in an actual medieval world. Can we please stop calling this trash as good as Berserk was just because it also has rape? The character designs alone are enough to make that clear.
Such as calling it mature dark fantasy because it has rape, since apparently that is the only thing that made 90s Berserk as good as it was. Anyways, as I said it’s an edgy gorefest for edgelords and should not be overhyped as anything more than that. Let’s completely disregard most light novel adaptations which have rapes, and one dimensional evil rapists are the most commonly found bad guys in modern anime. In this case, it’s breaking the stereotype of never showing rape in animated form. Goblin Slayer was the edgy flavor of the month, akin to Akame ga Kill, a badly written gorefest for edgelords who are overhyping it for thinking it’s breaking some stereotype in the most laughable manner possible.
