This story about immortality, grief, and the importance of emotional connections is interrupted by the presence of blunt, strawman villains who exist not as characters but as plot devices to show the “humanity” of the protagonists.
Meh, I personally think Frieren’s take on demons is quite unique and not troublesome at all. They’re not simply evil because they’re evil or simply a race that isn’t inherently evil, but misunderstood (something that you see way more nowadays).
Nah they are evil because they literally eat humans.
Is a cat evil because it eats mice? Demons don’t kill humans out of malice. That’s the entire thing (and something they explore later on in the manga too).
And no, not really. Everyone hates the Demons
I meant that in other anime. There are so many anime where demons are not necessarily an evil race and instead are just misunderstood.
It’s their nature. I don’t think projecting human morals on different creatures works. Not for cats, not for demons.
To be clear, that doesn’t mean I think they’re ‘good guys’. They just are.
The turtle wanted to cross the river. Scorpion bro came up to it and said like hey bro give me a lift. Tortoise was like sure dude. In the middle of the river the scorpion stung the terrapin and he be like what’s the matter dude why did you do that for? Scorpion be like, no cap bro, it’s in my nature.
Imagine that the trope subverting them, that the demons are actually the good guys, being so commonplace that them being evil actually makes a turn to it being subversive again.

Yeah fair, I can see how it’s not clear. My bad
