Goblin Slayer fanatics freaking out over a youtube video that correctly predicted their awful defenses of their rape fetish anime will never cease to be funny.
No, there are only "women shields" because you're reading a rape manga, which delights in showing women sexualized post-rape. In actual reality, human shields would include any captive, including corpses, but the audience doesn't want to see guys in that position, they want to see women. Post-rape women. And so that's what the manga delivers.
Remember, Monster Zero, Goblin Slayer is not a documentary, it's deliberately written that way by an author. And the bias of the author shows through painfully.
Of course, the entire thing you guys are defending falls apart under 2 seconds of scrutiny. If goblins are so dangerous, they would not be underestimated to this level. Adventures would not try to fight them in sexy sexy anime attire, just to be raped for the delight of a drooling audience. The entire idea is bad worldbuilding. In the real world, people living around tigers don't suddenly underestimate tigers just because humans with guns are around. People don't even underestimate the danger of wild *dogs*. Why would people underestimate goblins to this extent? The only people underestimating wild life IRL are people not used to it, such as europeans coming to such areas, after such animals long went extinct in their home countries.
Why would people play alone in the forest in such a world? People didn't even do that in medieval europe out of the danger brigands/wildlife posed, and there were no rape goblins around that only grew stronger the more victims they got!
The entire setup only exists post-fact to justify the raping on display. The writing is not "okay, I have dangerous goblins, what happens", it is "I want goblins raping women, so how do I write this in a way that gives my drooling audience a fig leaf to justify liking it". And it shows.
Especially by the arguments the defenders are using, which includes the classic gamergaty "you saw it, so you're the real sexist/racist", used multiple times in this thread alone.
I'd probably wouldn't even have posted without seeing the usual tryhard anime fans drag these arguments out.
