This video does a pretty good job explaining this It's especially more noticeable with Frieren

He's demonstrably wrong about the depiction because he fundamentally misunderstands Frieren. The demons do NOT "clearly have an understanding of morality" and is exactly why they're evil. They act explicitly in self-interest and any perceived 'morality' is just a facade and manipulation. They have zero ethical framework, operate almost exclusively in a kill or be killed fashion, and feel absolutely zero conviction for any deaths or destruction they cause (often showing enjoyment instead) even to their own kind. The show couldn't have demonstrated this more straightforwardedly when they showed the demon child only used the word "mother" not out of love, but because whenever they said the word it made humans hesitate to harm them. Your suicidal empathy would run so deep that you'd willingly accept ACTUAL DEMONS as a misunderstood race that shouldn't be prejudiced against and allow them to infiltrate your society lol.

You guys literally called the show fascist and it’s viewers racist, and compared the demons to minorities, and got mad when the creator of the character started taking pictures of her in front of cathedrals

"Demons have an understanding of morality" while showing the scene where the whole point is to demonstrate that they have no morality.

Yall literally still don't get it. The left tried to say the demons are minorities. The right said "lol", and started being "racist" to inherently evil demons because it made leftists pissy. The left now says the right "co-opted frieren for racism".

The comments

The irony being that Frieren calls out your exact behavior in its demons, which is why you freaks had such a problem with it to begin with.

Demons don't have an understanding of morality, they have knowledge of its existence. The demons of Frieren are funnily enough, way closer to an allegory for AI, than they are for a different race.

this youtuber is not very bright. He is projecting the right is projecting themselves on characters, when in reality the demons in Frieren have NO understanding of morality. They are ontologically evil and unable to care for others. they are natural psychopaths that kill for fun

He's actually acting like a demon from frieren by using words to decieve. Funny and ironic.

You bastards started it by calling the show "problematic" or "fascist". Fuck off.

im crying why is nearly every responses there completely missing the point

The last comment hits the nail on the head because I’m not saying the demons are intentionally a racial allegory by the author or that you should not like Frieren it just feels like every other day people are constantly surprised by a large number of rwers latching-

Why would anyone be so upset that a good anime is enjoyed by people you disagree with politically? Also it’s like this guy is way more race obsessed than actual racists. This is over sensitive and retarded

It’s less alt right and more that the progressives keep associated things like Orcs and Demons with black people so the alt right laugh at them for being racist.

The demons do not have a fundamental understanding of morality. They mimic it as a form of self preservation. It’s no different than a politician on a campaign trail saying no more wars then months later going into a 3rd world country and invading it after being elected.

Yeah this isn't really looking too great for people like you

“Frieren is created as an allegory of Jews killing innocent Palestinians children!” You wonder why people are laughing at this?

He missed the biggest reason: wierd people on social media called Frieren fascist.

Still doesn't change the fact it was leftist retards that kept equating demons to racial/ethnic minorities and thus Frieren was racist and fascist and that's all this whole retarded shit started

THE LEFT STRAIGHT UP TRIED TO CO OPT THE SERIES FIRST THE RIGHT DID IT TO MEME THEM TO DEATH HOW DO PEOPLE FORGET THIS SHIT IT HAPPENED LESS THAN 5 YEARS AGO SURELY YOUR BRAINS ARE NOT THIS FRIED

no it doesn't, the Hex Folk (demons in the WRONG English version) don't understand morality, they just notice patterns that work and use them to trick the people because they're predatory mimic animals that prey on people, the show makes that VERY clear. that's almost like having a bear sized parrot that's very smart and preys on humans

Leftists throwing a fit because conservatives like something, grow up

Klan meeting over here holy shit

I heard Frieren brings complexity to the demons later on, so I wonder if it will be a shock for the alt right group if they can no longer be seen as just an enemy

I will highlight the important bits, so those who hate reading can skip straight to the objective, rational and educated comparison between the demons and leftists. As well as why they are so opposed to recognizing the comparison

Mostly yes, But I note at the end you tried to confalte Nazi's and racists, The Allies themselves were deeply racist and I appreciate and associate with that. The Nazi's have stupid Sociolist echonimoc policys and counterproductive/evil ways of dealing with their undesirables.

This must go really hard if you're stupid and saw none of it go down in real time online

Wokescolds (falsely) called Frieren racist for its portrayal of demons and alt-righters took advantage of it. Have some introspection. You did this.

This is why My Hero Academia is imo so much better than other anime when it comes to this particular topic. Kohei Hirokoshi was very intentional in creating a world where the main, supporting and background characters have a wide range of skin tones and physical characteristics.

Good vid but saying Tolkien isn’t racist because he’s anti-Nazi is a flawed argument 😭. He lived through the Battle of Britain, of course he’s going to hate the Nazis. I don’t think there’s anything to make us believe he IS racist, just saying anti-Nazi doesn’t mean much

He misses the point. The alt right doesn't associate demons with "inferior races", it associates people who want to live with the demons with the "libs". It's a refrain of the bugs from starship troopers conversation.

"we are simply" You are going all the way around to try to justify the existence of your putrid ideas. The reason frieren is a right wing show, is because it lacked elements for leftoids to attach themselves to them and they couldn't stop from sperging and screaming "racism"

Just ignoring the part where you people called the show fascist. You have to wait way longer before you try to change history.
