Lack of introspection coupled with MASSIVE projection has ruined western fantasy.
The religious order that I hated growing up with HAVE to be evil in this fantasy game I made/stole.
This 'evil' race is just misunderstood like I was growing up...
At least when it comes to anime/manga, this is how it went:
One day, a mangaka made the demons misunderstood good guys, because it's a twist. Pacifist orc chef? What an original idea! We need an institutional enemy that acts inside a kingdom: oh, a church, of course.
Then, these things became tired tropes out of the sheer mediocrity that humanity averages at.
Then Goblin Slayer and Frieren: Beyond Journey's End made anime great again!
Is Goblin Slayer good? I thought it was generic grimlight adventuring, only notable for its anime’s shock-value start.
It's good because it's a breath of fresh air in a sea of "misunderstood bad guys" slop.
If it came out 10 years ago it would have been mid.
