I never had a problem with subverted or mold-breaking interpretations or one-off unique characters of "evil" fantasy races and demons. I was fine with stories that involved mainstream religions being secretly evil.
Now we're not even allowed to portray these races as per classic lore. Now Christian-like fantasy religions are not allowed to be portrayed as good. Those people can get fucked.
As the comic and your comment brings up it's only ever certain groups that get used this way, same IRL with disparaging comments towards "the easy target", because places like Charlie Hebdo show what happen when a more general range of topics gets used.
