Concerns About the Progressions of the Goblin Plot (@Rich)

[KorvinStarmast]

In the case of Han Solo there is no ambiguity. Han Solo shot first, Word of God is wrong if it claims otherwise.

Amen. Preach it!

- Gobbotopia practicing slavery is not conclusive evidence that goblinoids are inherently Evil.

As compared to Empire of Blood practicing slavery? Why the double standard?

I think this more typifies the "standard townspeople reaction to armed, PC-race adventurers" {snip}
Not "flee" but "put up adverts and raise prices".

Depends on the setting. I've been in campaigns where news of our party arriving induced hiding in barns and such.

So what is your take on the effect that seeing Belkar really enjoy stabbing people all the time and basically getting away with it or having it played for laughs has had on the average reader of this comic? {snip}
Is your attitude towards racism in comics significantly different than your attitude towards violence in comics?

Violence in comics has a long history (Sergeant Rock comes to mind, The Haunted Tank) and every super hero in the Marvel and DC universes. FWIW Belkar's violence seems to be comic relief, in the main ~ making fun of murderhobos and munchkins. Folks who don't play D&D may not get the joke.

And people also have a tendency of reading into subtext and creating their own meanings when none exists.

True with a lot of art.

Sometimes a goblin is just a goblin and if the author wanted them to represent humans, they could've just as easily used a different group of humans.

And sometimes, a banana is just a banana. (Dan Akroyd, SNL, in a parody of Sigmund Freud)
