“The elf anime that makes the villians non sentient so you dont have to feel bad about the protagonist lighting them up with her super strong magics is actually colonalist and white supremacist” ass mf
That’s a different argument though - they can be described as psychopathic and lacking empathy, sure, but there are humans who lack empathy, and they’re still people. The demons clearly have logical thought processes but have very different goals & priorities that are orthogonal to humans’. It all seems very “handwavy” and inconsistent to me, and if that’s the creator’s 5d chess maneuvers to create a discussion then I suppose I’m not on their level lol.

I’m just weary and wary of this “fantasy race you can just kill without feeling bad about” trope
At least pretend to read what I’m saying lol - or just go back to reddit, that’d be cool too
I mean that is literally the exact way the author’s fellow countrymen justified the near extermination of groups such as the Ainu, so, y’know, worth considering.
Literally not making a moral judgment you headass, I’m just stating that I think it’s too handwavy for me and a bit reminiscent of tropes that are uncomfortable. Very comradely tho
I mean, it is valid to critique Pokemon from an animal liberationism standpoint, especially when one gen has the designated “evil organization” literally be animal liberationists, with a very sincere apparent leader who seems to have animal telepathy or something, but then whoops he’s actually being manipulated by an evil cabal, so no need to think about any of those questions anymore!

Yes. That is completely valid. Also pokemon are genetically engineered from human DNA so that is a fun twist
