Why are the goblins in Goblin Slayer fantasy monsters, but not the ones in Harry Potter? After all, aren't they both goblins?
You can point to harry Potter goblins and say that they are clearly an anti semitic caricature
What are goblin slayer goblins meant to represent? Is there some specific ethnicity there? Ah, curious.
"They're an Other!" okay so basically you don't want any humanoid monsters involved because any Other is automatically some sanction of real world racism
Zzzzzzzzzzzz
This is a waste of both our time
What I'm asking is why are you so sure that the goblins in goblin slayer aren't meant to be a stand in for a real life minority? Why do you identify the ones in Harry Potter immediately as an anti-semitic caricature? What is the difference?
I don't feel like I'm wasting my time.
