Meanwhile, the goblin slayer defense force found a new old argument:
Accuse the critic.
The rape scenes are called fetishistic and sexualized? Clearly, the critic must be the evil one because they were aroused by them!
These dudes just can't seem to understand what "sexualized" even means, but they sure are convinced it makes criticism invalid. Anime fans gotta anime fan, I guess.
What I don't get is that even if you take away the rape scenes...the anime still isn't that good? Like, even in terms of heroic badass anime, there's still a bunch of better options? Hell, Overlord is better and that also has pretty poor taste scenes and that's still pretty recent. Naryoko-San and Record of Lodless War are better animes based off of a western RPG. Like, everything that people praise about this anime...I can find better examples within the last two years? What is so special about this anime that gets anime fans so desperate to defend it?
