    Couple of things here, demons aren’t an organic species in frieren, they’re crafted directly from magic itself to kill people. They’re 40k orcs, but slower to breed. They’re human shaped because of Darwinian mechanisms that allowed them to live longer in the shape of humans. Each any every one of them is a sociopath masking it with a malevolently high iq, with psychology of an inherently foreign base.

    They’re allowed to exist freely, they choose war at every turn as their base. In fact, their king seeks coexistence and understanding, but does so by genociding humanity for a literal millennium in order to build a psychological basis for humankind’s behavior. Some demon leaders suggested that humanity would be completely wiped out long before their king might finally bridge the gap.

    Attempts at coexistence continue to occur, but all turned out to be subterfuge, with the ends being genocide. There’s a vague suggestion that this is a time travel based Douglas Adams-esque god crafted world-computer created to quantize human psychology, but that is also monstrous. Anyway, read the comic if you want to understand.

      Maybe the themes of a piece of media should be judged by our standards in our world instead of going by the built in justifications of its author

        “John Carpenter’s The Thing plays with the premise that rapidly changing attitudes and malleable thinking will get you killed.”

        Sometimes an inherently destructive force is just an inherently destructive force. You can choose to discard the premise of a story to suit a narrative of persecution, or you can read a story that is actually about persecution.

            Dude, you’re on a greentext board arguing about a comic you’ve never read because you’re traumatized by irl events. Go talk to someone instead of misinterpreting me and my thoughts as misanthropic.

              I criticized you for your ‘the curtains are blue’ slop brain and now you’re halfway into writing a fiction novel about my life of trauma and persecution. You’re absolutely out of your mind.

                I figured you were frustrated by something irl because I didn’t think you were just a colossal dick. My mistake for not blocking a tankie who spends their free time picking fights with people online. Your mod log is gross, and I should have checked it earlier. Blocked
