I don't bother with it because it's fucking stupid.

There's enough speciesism ti make rasism irrelevant.

For sci-fi and fantasy, this. There's enough speciesism built in that racism doesn't make much sense. There's cultural differences, sure, but white folks don't have time to hate blacks when they're both fighting off orc raiders.

Oddly, the only time we dealt with racism was in WoD with Cree/First Nations folks and a version of the Wendigo. There was a big money mage moving in on their territory and decimating lands... little on the nose.

How does /the/ deal with the survivors that lost their party

If it doesn't look like me, them it ain't good

He said he was actually First Nation, not a white guy with bronzer.

This manga is so retarded, and the art is terrible.

what is it with you canucks and indians?

the only native porn site for a while was Canadian whats up with that?

It's analogous to whites/blacks in America. Except everyone hates the natives, especially the Chinese for some reason.

They're just really trashy, and if you piss one off you have to deal with their entire extended family. Anyone I've met who grew up near a reservation and wasn't native themselves ended up hating them.
As for porn, I'm not really sure. I've seen some pretty hot ones I guess.

yeah

you know a manga is shit once tg and a have abandoned it after the first few chapters

Worth looking into that guy. I think his name is... Iron Horse? I'm a little off.

He is an Italian, but he spent he entire life working and living as a Native American, married a native woman, and donating/promoting native causes. There's this really complicated view among natives that... he's sort of honorary? It's a weird story.

What is the title?

It exists predominantly as xenophobia with organizations that promote "X race is the master race" as a control mechanism to keep the sort of people prone to a faction-based mentality in line, intelligence helps explain away illogical instances of the former, wisdom and maturity tend to prevent the influences of the latter, adventurers tend to be less so because outcasts tend to stick together and developmentally normal people don't give up their home, career and family to go get almost murdered in the woods by a goat-headed monster that rapes people to death as a hobby.

You know, like real life but with goat-headed rapemonsters.

I think I'd agree with what you're saying, but Holy Shit that sentence is hard to parse.

What is it with the Japanese and rape?

Don't listen to him true title is Goblin Slayer.

I convulse into mouth-frothing spasms of rage at the mere mention of people who aren't white christian males. I have damaged three chairs and a lamp because of people using the word "elf" in my presence.

99% of Natives in urban areas are human trash; polydrug abusers, domestic abusers, sexual abusers, all rolled up into one dysfunctional clusterfuck. Most prostitutes out west are Indian as well (or Asian imports through BC). It's actually pretty sad, as our government had a much better relationship with them than the Americans did for most of our history. Nonetheless, the assimilation attempts in the early 20th century basically rekt their culture and all they had left was sexual abuse and alcohol (to which they are naturally predisposed to an even greater extent than white people with opiates). At this point it's a real shit show; sort of vaguely like African-American inner city culture, with gangs and all.

tfw no Tory nationalist Aboriginals these days

The sins of Nanking are still in their blood man, but at the same time they still remember how hard they're raped by the US. It's a constant battle for the Japanese mind, it's rape or be raped. 'Being raped' is winning in the hearts of their young men though.

It happens. No, really.

Every army in the world has raped. Sexual assault is a danger, especially if you're an attractive woman. If you're captured by bandits or orcs, the men will just die - the women will literally be raped to death. It's not sexy, it's just something that happens.

I'm a giant racist in games, every time I get, but mostly towards the ugly races. This is because I don't want a redemption plot (Oh, there's a 'good orc'? Fuck that shit, he's getting an axe in the head) and also because it adds character.

It happens in real life, but Goblin Slayer is pitching a world where not only are female adventurers pretty common and not really seen as weaker from what I can tell, but are still at a huge risk of that from even basic monsters.

Like, the entire gimmick of the series is that goblins are super ferocious and one slightly higher level dude dedicated himself to wiping them out because low-level adventurers just can't handle it.

I mean, you think he'd accomplish more by going to teach at a school or lecturing people on how to not underestimate goblins or let girls anywhere near them or something but nah, gotta show him off as a super overpowered main character who's gotta show these dumb girls how its done.

He was a first generation Italian-American who found a gig pretending to be a Native American and went under the fake name of Iron Eyes. Because the lack of internet or people giving a shit it took until 1996 before anyone outed him as a white dude married to a white lady with adopted Native American kids.

He wasn’t an honorary anything, he is a famous fraud in history that claimed to be a full blooded Native American until he died in 1999. He just showed up in 1930s Hollywood wearing feathers and leather slippers claiming to be Cherokee.

>First* Nations.

See, the thing is, this is just attrition. It's not unfair to assume that 90% of adventurers bite it in their first missions, when they're low-level. (Not too far from OSR games.)

The powerful adventurers just move on to have the more typical RPG adventures, battling demons, demigods and so on. Like, there's a chapter right after Goblin Slayer kills a Dark Elf trying to summon a dark god - Simultaneously, we see that a high-level party including at least one Paladin is fighting the god itself on the astral plane.

Goblin Slayer is super overpowered because he's a Level 10 (figuratively speaking) Fighter / Ranger who is still hanging around Level 2 - 3 monsters.

The rape of Nanking never happened

>It's not sexy
That's where you're wrong, buddy.

> It happens in real life, but Goblin Slayer is pitching a world where not only are female adventurers pretty common and not really seen as weaker from what I can tell, but are still at a huge risk of that from even basic monsters.

Assuming female adventurers are still common, they're still at risk of being raped. Being more competent doesn't make you any less of a woman. In fact, given that female adventurers tend to be quite attractive, it makes an ugly kind of sense that those who get into trouble are in for a very bad time indeed.

>He just showed up in 1930s Hollywood wearing feathers and leather slippers claiming to be Cherokee.
The absolute madman.

But one really can't help but notice that Japan and Japanese media has sort of an odd fixation with it. Like, as a whole, compared to other nations' media (except maybe Scandie art films) Japanese media is really unusually unsettlingly rapey.

I can't think of a single "mature" (much less adult) anime or manga that wasn't packed to the brim with rape. Like a can full of sardines, but the sardines are rape. Or like a clown car, but the clowns are rape. Not to mention basically all of their porn. Even a lot of things aimed at teenagers seem to spend an inordinate amount of time flirting with sexual assault.

Well, yeah. It's actually quite refreshing, because the West likes to pretend that sex doesn't happen. In all honesty, a lot of the stronk womyn characters we see would probably be weeping and crying in the same situation, too.

All of the races sort of discriminate against humans because they think we are weird. By galactic standards, humans come off as crazy. And not in the fun memey way that Veeky Forums would turn into HFY content, but rather that after talking with humans for any length of time most aliens start to think we are mentally ill somehow. Or maybe we are pathological liars? Either way, we talk about things that are not real all the goddamn time, and it makes translation back and forth a pain in the ass. Our closest space allies think we are crazy too, but they find it endearing rather than threatening.

The Szhin are a special case. They are xenophobic against everyone else, because their reproduction works differently than the galactic standard, and the idea of being alive at the same time as you kids requires what amounts to a body-horror movie scenario for them. The more they learn about other races, the more they want nothing to do with us because we are disgusting.

>one party members gets mobbed and ripped apart

Why do retards do this so consistently? People'll ignore a fucking serial-killing spree if there's a rape for them to complain about.

It's all pretend, user. It's a Japanese tradition for girls and women to feign at not wanting sex, even when they really do, because only a filthy whore outwardly shows she likes sex. This tradition was started by Lady Murasaki, the author of the Tale of Genji.

I am not making this up, nigga.

It was a different time, where Italians could be Native Americans and Horses could be Zebras. A simpler time, indeed.

See, this is what I was talking about. Japanese media's also filled with ridiculous levels of wanton ultra-violence, seemingly both produced and enjoyed by closet sociopaths, but people still only get hung up on the rape. Normies'll watch teenagers get torn to shreds and eaten in AoT all day without complaint, but the second a show gets rapey they'll lose their shit.

GET THAT FUCKING COAL SKIN OUT OF HERE

Depends, so long as my players know that it's the game world not this world. We have no issues. I have played racists numerous times (on account of me being one IRL)

my GMs have had no issue with it.

>No, really.
This gives your trolling away too easily.

Its almost like they were a poor second class that were seperated from the rest until recently and then faced the cultural clash that was slowly created.

This is the only response you should get.

Yeah, for some reason raping a woman is apparently worse than murdering her.

American culture being invasive and cancereous as always.

Sex is evil and nuth for da yungin's but killing is yer gat damn right.

>I'm totally ok with rape, why aren't you?

Gentlemen of refined tastes, I see.

This is why I don't put woman soldiers in my games, honestly.

Women adventurers are fine and dandy and they die just the same as anyone else. The problem is in keeping the background lore a consistent shade without going into the realms of sexual assault. That shit happens irl and I can't imagine how much worse it would be in ancient or medieval times when there are large numbers of prisoners after every battle. It's all well and good to make things as inclusive as you want them, but there's a point in worldbuilding where you just have to let it go as it is and spare the details by working around them.

>I'm totally not okay with rape
>but brutal murder's a-okay

Illiterate of hypocritical tastes, I see.

Honestly, rape is like anal. If you don't like it, you're probably not doing it right.

>The more they learn about other races, the more they want nothing to do with us because we are disgusting.
That's a cool concept, are they like black widows or something? Do the hatchlings chew their way out?

>But one really can't help but notice that Japan and Japanese media has sort of an odd fixation with it. Like, as a whole, compared to other nations' media (except maybe Scandie art films) Japanese media is really unusually unsettlingly rapey.
And yet, the actual rape rates in Japan are much lower than pretty much anywhere else. Maybe they're on to something?

Meanwhile in the West, members of the media have been literally raping underage girls, and boys for that matter, for nearly 100 years.

But the Japanese are somehow in the wrong for fictional depictions.

>conveniently ignore that goblins rape to reproduce because they have no females.
>ignores the rest of the manga

>ignores the rest of the manga
You mean where the girls continue to be both raped and murdered yet people still just whine about the former?

Good job preserving those alpha white genes, user. That lamp won't be a threat to your wife and daughters anymore.

That's not really what happened though. That's accurate for the USA, where in most cases the Indians were defeated in war and exiled to reserves. There were a lot of shitty things done by the colonial Canadian state, even into the 20th century (no suffrage, requiring a Minister's approval to leave the reserve, etc) but unlike in the US the Canadian government has repeatedly confronted its past fuckups. The real reason Natives are so fucked is pretty obviously that they've lost their culture through a number of factors (assimilation attempts; willful abandonment; poverty; drugs [can't be overstated]; etc). These days there's no Indian culture and they've got no social cohesion as a result.

tl;dr if you let immigrants take over your country you eventually get genocided every time, don't do this

One does not exclude the other my friend of questionable intelligence.

This is the legit reason. It's rather patrician tier tradition.
>Mfw that chapter in Spring Snow when Kiyoaki managed to blackmail Satoko into finally doing it and she feigns resistance while also subtly guiding him along with undoing her obi

It's great

>You mean where the girls continue to be both raped and murdered yet people still just whine about the former?
The murder is part of the rape
Especially since the goblins eat and women when they burst out more gobs.
The author was even told to turn down the rape.
Why dont you take your own advice and
elaborate why you're so stuck on the murder?

Exactly!

In Japan, a woman who enjoys sex too much is considered a slut. And Japanese men generally don't want to see sluts in their porn, they want to see supposedly "pure" women being defiled. Thus the prevalence of pseudo-rape in Japanese porn.

Porn where the woman enjoys sex is tagged with 痴女 in Japan. 痴女 means female pervert or slut if you will. It's the opposite to those supposedly pure women in general Japanese porn, catering to the more passive/submissive male audience.

Not an argument.

Sort it out outside the table like adults

Jesus fucking Christ, you fucking leaf

What did he mean by this?

I'm not stuck on the murder, I'm stuck on the hypocrisy of people always complaining 2000% more about sexual violence than normal violence.

This seem to be a common thing too in japanese media. Simply either the good guys or as here(?) bad people saying they're not people.

I'm the GM. When I make settings, I include prejudices the population is going to have just like the other details of their culture. They're usually in broad strokes, e.g., X-land has a nationalist religion and thinks their afterlife is exclusive to them; foreigners aren't hated as much as pitied. When players get pissed at racist NPCs, that's fine with me. Adventurers are allowed to be weird and shake things up, so that's fine.

What I don't like are racist PCs, especially the "stuck up elf" and the "dwarf who hates elves" varieties. They're cliché and boring. People use it as a replacement for even the barest hint of a personality in their PCs. And they think it's a good thing when a member of their PC's hated race is in the party. They get this idea that oh, they'll have this great Helm's Deep moment with the party archer later on, but nine times outta ten these people SUCK at character development, so once they half ass their "oh, I guess you lot aren't so bad after all" they have NOTHING LEFTū. Worse, until they stumble to the end of their single, tired, character arc, you have to constantly endure waiting for them come up with a yet another way to call the other PC a faggot. Drives me goddamn nuts.

>bad people saying they're not people
That's kinda been a common real life justification for why it's okay to murder vast amounts of people.

>This tradition was started by Lady Murasaki, the author of the Tale of Genji.

Actually, it was probably inherited from China and already a norm in Japan when the Tale of Genji was being written. By Confucian inspired tradition and law, a woman being "lustful" in any way whatsoever was grounds for divorce, along with being jealous in any way whatsoever, disobeying her husband's parents, being unable to produce sons, being seriously ill, gossiping too much, stealing (which includes spending her husband's money or selling property that he "gave" to her). These are the 7 reasons a husband may divorce his wife without appealing to the local government.

Racism or whatever the fantasy variant is called is fine as long as it makes sense.

In Warcraft 3: TFT, the Garithos character was fucking dumb because there was never any indication or reason that any of the species hated each other besides the obvious (justified) hatred of Orcs and Troll along with the undead. Green jebus Thrall can't suddenly undo the evil of his 'people' just because he's supposedly sympathetic.

Point is: going out of your way to be PC is just as annoying as putting in racism because you feel edgy.

That rate is contingent on reporting, and Japan is known for under reporting even banal shit like STI figures.
They're also a major hub for human trafficking and it's only within the last few years that they've really even acknowledged that. In 2015 1/3 of people found guilty of human trafficking in Japan were only fined. Pimping out child prostitutes might merely be fined. It's a pretty damning problem.

Sorry bad wording but its more that the way they write and the fact that "good guys" say it is kinda disturbing about japan. They usually talk about it in answer as if it was revolutionary or an obvious solution. Like they're forced to be not assoles and they're desperately looking for a way to skimp on some unwritten contract.
Of course people point to others and say "They're not people!" to justify their shitty behavior.

I usually play casual NPC racism for comic relief, like the drunk human at the bar going off on the Orc PC who has a foot and 200lbs on him.

Nah, he's a good friend and he was totally chill about it.

>the fact that "good guys" say it
Can I get a few examples? Because I consume a lot of anime and manga, and refusing to acknowledge people's humanity is often meant to be an unsubtle way to make the villain as villainous as possible.

>tfw no Tory nationalist Aboriginals these days
what? was that a thing in the past?

First thing that comes to mind is Hellsing, where the protagonist has nothing but disdain for 99.999% of humanity as a species.

Not from the top of my head, no.

>Hellsing
Alucard's not really meant to be a good guy though, just a monster that's been leashed and pointed in the direction of the enemy. Hell, even Anderson was a better person than Alucard, and he's supposed to be on the opposition. Even then, you still got Seras and Integra as respectively good and nominally good people.

A race that can't handle abstract concepts wouldn't make it past stone tools without grievous amounts of hand-holding. That's a bit more autistic than necessary, though, and your take is a fun one, just something to chew on.

>I prefer elf pussy over human pussy

Your post has so little to do with mine, I wonder if you even read it.

I think the reason people get hung up on it is that it's... I suppose a term that conveys the idea well is "Cruel and Unusual."
See, people dying in a fight... that's kind of what happens in a fight with weapons and armor and two sides that want to kill each other- people die. There's a sort of morbid understanding that you either win and live, or lose and die, so it's not so horrible because it's an inevitable result.
Rape, though? That's taking an opponent that's already beaten, and prolonging their suffering for the sake of your own satisfaction. You don't rape because you're life is on the line, it's something that's only possible if your victim isn't in any condition to fight you off. It's selfish and callous and more than a little sadistic.

tl,dr: it boils down to motivation. Killing is often a matter of survival, you or them, and is generally a grim but accepted consequence of conflicts that turn violent. Rape, on the other hand, is motivated mostly by self-satisfaction or a desire to cause suffering in another.

>The author was even told to turn down the rape

Practically from the beginning of time, mankind has used symbols to denote rank and status. Ceremony for awarding these symbols ranges from a hasty presentation of a dead leader's weapon in the midst of battle, to a day-long ceremony requiring fasting and vigil the night before.

Well you can't even hint at it in any western media without massive controversy so...

It's simple. Being horribly tortured or murdered is more of a male thing. And nobody cares what happens to males.

...

Is the name of the manga just "goblin slayer"?

Yes. It's shit.

I'm just here for the rape, honestly

Being blueballed hurts. I need the rape
