Why are demons the most consistently and only thing talked about when it comes to Frieren?
>>
Frieren herself barely talks about anything else. We just share her rage autism.
>>
>>284597985
Because anons want to fuck them
>>
>>284597985
Because of the culture war bullshit surrounding demons. No one gives a shit about this generic crap otherwise.
>>
>>284598015
This plus certain "people" feel attacked when the bad guys are played straight.
>>
one guy spamming plus people lusting after aura i guess
>>
>>284597985
Because the "debate" (flamewar) surrounding the nature of demons is the singular interesting element of the setting and the story may as well be concluded in a thematic sense by the point Fern grows up if not earlier.

Pretty much because the text and the subtext are totally at odds because the author came across an ethical topic that is actually fairly complex and subject to debate, but he didn't do it justice because he obviously didn't understand what he was doing. So, a bunch of characters made a bunch of verifiably false proclamations of fact about the topic despite proving themselves wrong in-universe. Also, the writing is just bad. The worldbuilding blows, character personalities are all some variation of flat & autistic.
All this + stupid people are annoying and make any of these conversations 1000% more annoying and retarded than they need to be, because there's lots of smoothbrains that want to weigh in on the nature of consciousness despite being barely conscious themselves.
Anyway, we've been all over this.
>TLDR
Bad writing on a philosophical concept. Plus a sycophantic, retarded fanbase that won't accept that the writing failed in that aspect because the author was ignorant. Also, despite their ignorance and being provably wrong with evidence from the series, we keep having these stupid threads because, ironically, stupid people are immune to all arguments; they can't understand what you're saying, so you can never prove them wrong.
I remember similar threads about Psycho Pass.

I do find funny that they make a big deal over them being the worst thing ever and having no emotions, but them they do show them having emotions and later show that some wizards and humans are just as bad as demons or even worse (just look at how they casually and legally send people to their deaths during the wizard trials without a care in the world, how they basically segregate people based on power level or how the smug bitch killed a bunch of randos and people doing their jobs for shits and giggles), Frieren and her dead pedo hero saving the world for demons in the distant past didn't do shit, if anything it is almost just as bad but in a different way, magic users seem to put themselves over any other being and can find loopholes to kill others and/or make them suffer for cheap laughs, even between them if they happen to dislike other's ideology

Okay, so she was wrong, and she was contradicted. This casts everything else she says in doubt, which, keep in mind, this entire debate is just whether or not you take the characters at their word, or if you're going to use your eyes and think for yourself.
Frieren's word is already doubtful on this matter because she's biased, and she's already been shown to be wrong once. So, maybe we conclude that you need something better than Frieren's opinion? Which you lack.
Even the demon saying what he says at the top is contradictory since he's saying something he believes is true and isn't trying to deceive anyone when he uses language.

It's because of the contradictions between what's said about the demons and what's actually shown. They act, talk and think like human beings when no human beings are watching them. Yet they're supposed to be just mimics that don't understand anything.

You are so fucking retarded, i cant believe it. The same thread over and over talking about the same fucking shit because your english knowledge is as limited as your critical thinking, a thread debunked every fucking time but you keep creating it every 2 days because you dont have hobbies or loved ones. Like, what is the point of setting a discussion thread with the same arguments everyday? Thats not how it works. Only to spawn 3 retards more that hate on inoffensive pixels because those are loved and not them.
>>
>>284600098
You didn't refute the argument.
>>
>>284600045
The show also seems to try and make this weird connection between having emotions and having morality or not being evil. The idea being that demons are evil because they don't have emotions like empathy or guilt. You can be a completely emotionless being and still have morality on an intellectual level even if you don't have innate disgust or aversion to doing evil things. It's not even close to a good enough justification for the demons simply all being evil.

Frieren amazing lesson(that involved getting people kill) was to throw a dog in a room full of meat and then go "look the dog eat the meat, I'm so smart ohohoho", the demon was actually trying to be nice and give back something but nobody bother to EDUCATE HER, and no being really really nice is not education.

Demons are just highly evolved mimics. They're like a curse placed upon sentients. They aren't good or evil, they simply are. It is in their nature to kill, just as it is in a tiger's nature to hunt deer.

Demons only speak the human language to deceive (humans).

There you go, that is the answer, that demons learned human language to deceive humans, you just don't like it. Everyone else gets that Frieren and Lugner were not being hyper literal and the humans part did not need to be spoken. Normal people immediately understood this yet you make a thousand threads and posts demanding what? That people stop liking the show because you didn't understand this? That it is "poorly written" because you alone couldn't put 2 and 2 together? You didn't find something damning everyone else missed, everyone heard it and understood what was meant by it.
>>
>>284600590
That doesn't make any sense. They're intelligent on the level of a human being and sentient. They have their own system of morality too. That's like saying you can't hold a narcissist accountable for their behavior.
>>
>>284600407
>Talking about deception is not the same thing as deception itself
Meaningless distinction. Furthermore, I don't understand what this means in the context of Frieren. Talking about deception can allow deception in different contexts; what are you trying to say?
>>
>>284600620
>Demons only speak the human language to deceive (humans).
Okay, so then why are they shown constantly speaking human language to exchange information when human beings aren't around? That directly contradicts what was stated earlier by both Frieren and the demon.

How the fuck is saying
>There's a difference between talking about an action and the action itself
A meaningless distinction? That's the entire crux of what we're taking about. The act of deception is not the same thing as talking about it. The demons are not using language at that moment to deceive. That completely contradicts what the demon and Frieren herself says. You are trying to over intellectualize this to the point of absurdity.
>>
>>284600628
Demons don't really kill out of maliciousness/spite, to get ahead, or for thrill like RL murderers. They're mostly compelled to kill because of their nature, and don't seem to put that much emotion or thought into the act. It's just something they gotta do, like breathing. There are cases where the demon logically knows that killing would be a risk, but still does so anyways due to their compulsions.

Macht didn't kill someone for fifty years. Nor did the demon girl for a long period of time. They clearly have self control over their own actions but yet the series also wants to treat them like mindless beasts. It makes no sense.

What you're saying sounds like the author is so uncreative he had to contradict himself just to explain things basic things to the audience.

Their minds are completely alien from our own. They kill because that's what demons do, not necessarily because they want to. If a demon has an opportunity to kill, they will take it. If there are no marks to kill, they just wander around not doing much. They're a lot like robots, in that sense more than living beings, which makes sense as monsters in Frieren aren't really "alive" like you and me.

Because they need to exchange information between each other.

Yeah, and then they are shown using that for more than just deception, which directly contradicts what Frieren and the demon says.

I would say it isn't so much about the bad guys being portrayed as bad guys, but more about how the solution is portrayed. In western society, bad guys are often given lenient sentences, and savages from foreign lands are imported in large numbers while we are told that they are smarter than us, that we need them here to do our jobs for us.

We have forgotten what our grandparents' generation knew: that we are the peaceful civilization, we believe in universal morality; and the others are barbarians who only pretend to agree with us for the sole purpose of exploiting us. There was a great post on Kiwi Farms about "Izzat," which basically sums up the situation as it stands. The parallels to demons are unmistakable.

It's a good story because the author shows why the demons can't coexist with humans. The target audience doesn't need it "explained" to them.

Okay, so then why are they shown constantly speaking human language to exchange information when human beings aren't around?
We're getting to the point I talked about where I have to keep repeating the same arguments over and over again because nothing you're saying is addressing them.
>I-its not meant to be taken hyper literal
Faggot. The demon says "Only one reason". They are then shown using language for more than that stated one reason. How the fuck are you possibly defending this shit?

>>284601840

>>284601846
The series never sufficiently explains it. The demons have everything needed to change their morality and coexist with humans. They already have their own set of morality, there's no reason they couldn't adopt another.

So what do we do once the author decide to make demons evolve and learn to live with humans?

>>284602087
>You mean like when they are planning their next attack on the humans?
Anon, talking about deception and planning attacks is not the same thing as deception or attacking itself. They're using language for exchanging information, not deception. They're using it for more than just deception, meaning it contradicts what Frieren and the demon says.
>You fundamentally don't understand the concept of show, don't tell.
The series TELLS us that demons are incapable of coexisting and yet shows that they have all the traits capable of being able to coexist with humans.

>the series doesn't really explain why they can't, other than characters word-of-god turning to the camera and telling us "trust me bro, they just can't"
That's because the characters don't know why, neither do the demons really. It's been stated multiple times that they do not need to do it to survive but do it anyway even though it is to their detriment.
It is hinted that the purpose of the Demon Kings war was to somehow prevent demon extinction in the long term as guided by an oracle who saw the future. Demons are made of mana in the shape of a biological lifeform. In my opinion they were made as a self replicating weapon that grew and evolved into many different directions. Monsters being the original form that could be set on an enemy and Demons being an unexpected and uncontrollable offshoot. They eliminated Elves as a priority so they might be their original creator.
Ever see the movie Screamers where humans they created autonomous killing machines and the killing machines seized their means of production and started improving themselves until they had more or less sentient models but they still retained their core function. Like that but with magic.

I rarely watch anime or movies in general because their fundamental idea of evil is so poorly thought out
>uhh and there are these, like, dragons, and they, well most are bad right but this one shows remorse and

But here we have evil presented as an uncreative perversion only capable of copying humans
And they disappear in a puff of smoke when killed, they have no substance

Tolkien rightly wrote similarly about evil as uncreative and a 'void', powerful and corrupting.
Now I'm not saying Frieren is up to that level or correctly expressing an Augustinian concept of evil
But it's far better than any media I see or read, though I rarely watch stuff because it's so retarded in this regard
I liked Frieren, hope they don't fuck up S2.

You mean retarded Frieren fans that willfully do not want to see the contradictions like everyone else reading the series has. These contradictions are so obvious, it's insane that more people haven't picked up on them.

The demons are stated to only use language to deceive. They are then shown using language outside of deception. This is a contradiction. You don't have an argument.
>>284602409
Frieren is never framed as in the wrong for her beliefs or is acknowledged as wrong by the character in universe. There's a blindingly obvious distinction here that doesn't need to be stated.

Yes she does actually. If you want the audience to believe that Frieren is wrong, you have to show her and acknowledge her actually being in the wrong. The series has constantly affirmed her beliefs regarding the demons no matter how extreme. To say that she's wrong would require doing a complete 180 on how the audience perceives her and her actions.
>>284602565

So how do you expect them to communicate? I'm not saying that's the only way; I'm asking you how you think they should communicate. I think (besides it being easier to explain to the viewer) demons speaking the language they learned over generations is simply logical. But again, you've taken something too literally, which obviously isn't the case. I think it's a very shallow critique of the show and reinforces the fans positive view instead of showing something negative, which is what you're trying to do.

>>284602709
It is bad writing because she's never framed as in the wrong for any of her beliefs about demons no matter how extreme.

You are thinking very literally about a english phrase. Furthermore... what does it mean to deceive by speaking? First, you have to gain the trust of others, right? If I give you real information but I know I'll deceive you: is the real information part of the deception? Is it possible to deceive with every word? It's an extremely ambiguous concept. Basically everyone understood it, you are simply not right. I understand what you're saying, but it's overthinking. If they could only use language to deceive, it would be very ambiguous and would end bad; having a mental language or another language wouldn't solve anything (besides, it's not convenient for them in many ways). At the moment, it's something that's understood, you can't take every sentence literally.

With no argument saying how? Pretty much the average experience of trying to communicate with a Frieren fan.

>>284603185
>You are thinking very literally about a english phrase.
Retard. They say, "Only one reason". One reason doesn't automatically mean multiple reasons. It doesn't mean actually using speech outside of that one reason.
Doesn't matter what they were discussing. They weren't using language at that moment to deceive. They were using it for reasons other than deception. Talking about deceiving people is not the same thing as deceiving people. Meaning it directly contradicts what Frieren says.

Anon, tell me. How am I supposed to interpret what the demon says when he says "Only one reason we speak like humans"? Does one reason actually mean multiple? Does it mean using it for reasons outside of deception? Does it mean use it to communicate information and not deception? What does it mean? Am I not supposed to take an absolute statement as absolute just because you want to make it seem deeper than it actually is to avoid having to realize bad writing?

To be pure evil means you can’t ever be good. To have intelligence, morality, emotion, and the free will that comes with that means being able to choose to be good. Demons can still choose to be evil (many do), but the entire species cannot be treated as evil if they have a choice.

Jesus fucking christ, you are so far down in the weeds you've missed the fucking forest.

Demons are just a race of human-mimicking monsters. They are the plant monster with titties designed to draw horny men into their trap. They are the sirens drawing ships into the rocks to their death. They are the monsters crying "help me" in the deeps woods to attract dumb altruists. They scam humans so they can eat them.

They don't need their own language. They are independent. They are monsters. They spawn more of themselves then go on with life - no parenting, no shared culture. None of that. So what if they cooperate? Wolf packs can cooperate because they are social. Doesn't stop them from being monster types in fantasy. We don't need a treatise on wolf monster society - they are fucking fodder for the hero to slice down on their journey. Orc are sentient, they use the "common" language. Yet they still attack human society in fantasy and look to rape our women. No one bothers making "peace" with them because the ORCS DON'T WANT PEACE. You can't live with what wants to destroy you. And this is where modern NPCs have a massive meltdown - they are told they MUST live with people who want to literally rape & kill them, and they accept that. That is why this story triggers them and forces them to issue copium and mental gymnastics in post form.

Frieren is right because she's been reality checked too many times by actual demons to accept any other narrative about them from delusional women like yourself who would rather be eaten by a demon that admit a demon is going to eat her 100% hands down.

>>284604038
Demons demonstrably have all the sentience, intelligence and the understanding of both their own morality and human morality to be able to change their beliefs and coexist with humans. The series has not given us any reason for why they cannot do this.

They're "independent" except for when they constantly band together to fight humans. In which case, having their own language or way of communicating would be preferable and less retardedly written. They don't have "parents or parental affection" except for this scene I guess. >>284603136
The series tells us that demons are just monsters and animals, but animals (and other monsters) don't behave like that. It says that demons lack empathy, but their characterization is more like demons have the Evil Gene and are cursed by an evil deity such that their reasoning and understanding of the world inevitably misleads them into evil, even when they are trying to avoid it, and even when it's completely self-destructive and self-defeating for their goals.

Animals are not like demons. Wild beasts are not intelligent and able to communicate with other species. Wild beasts do not understand human morality or strictly adhere to their own. Wild beasts do not possess all the components necessary to adopt human morals. Demons do. They are incomparable to animals.

If the demons have all this intellect and self control over their own behavior, then it makes absolutely no sense why they can't adopt another moral code to coexist with human beings.

You're absolutely retarded to not understand the even more retarded writing you're trying to defend so desperately.

That's completely untrue considering that they all believe hiding mana to be morally wrong and other demons dying to be wrong. They clearly have some type of culture to be able to believe this. This isn't even explained as being part of their mimicry since it's something only Demons care about.

What would Himmel do?

Fall for the inhuman monsters tricks because of a cute face one time, become emotionally scarred from the horror his own mercy wrought on the innocent and spend the rest of his life killing them on sight like a proper human hero should do

>>284604198
And it's better than Frieren.

>>284604159
>It says that demons lack empathy, but their characterization is more like demons have the Evil Gene
Both of these can be true. After all, they are made of the same substance as monsters. Their very essence is that of mana in the facsimile of biology.

Those are clearly lines that are meant to communicate that they lie to the reader and not lines that make in-universe. It's poor writing in the same sense as character A telling B something they should already know for the sake of exposition. It's not poor writing in a sense that this supposedly makes the the claim that demons only use human language for lying untrue.

why do characters have to always speak objectively true? a character can never be misinformed? or have a bias?

Unless you've cropped something out, I don't see parental affection.
>>
>>284606898
>why do characters have to always speak objectively true? a character can never be misinformed? or have a bias?
Because these are word of god characters made by the author. This is not some super nuanced work of fiction.
>>284606937
The demon jumping up and down excitedly asking for praise from a superior doesn't count as parental affection?

>>284606957
Not necessarily. Demons are proud. Their society is structured around displays of power, and those displays being acknowledged. The child is motivated to seek recognition because it feeds its ego and establishes its position in the system. Failure to be recognized risks being discarded and left to fend for itself, increasing the likelihood of death by coordinated humans.

>>284607773
That's not how demon society works. The only thing they care about is strength, that's it. Being a useful henchman does not in any way improve their social standing. You're doing the same thing the author does and project human socialization/culture on demons even though they should not work that way.
>>
>>284609204
Superior demons obviously assign some value to inferiors otherwise they wouldn't have a cooperative hierarchy in the first place. Being excluded from that due to failing to demonstrate value is disadvantageous to the weak individual. This is less cultural value and more survival probability.

>look like humans

>nooo, they're only pretending to do it!!
This shit isn't "for kids", it's for mass consumption. A lot of isekai or Japanese fantasy is like this. Very cheap, not hard to write, and it's newer than the one released a season ago.

At least it's nicer to look at than western garbage.

Frieren is not a work about whether or not demons should be considered human or where the boundary between human and demon lies. It actually tries very, very hard to tell you not to worry about it. Its all about human connections when ideals, perceptions, desire time etc don't match up. Demons are written this way so the story can have intelligent antagonist and so that their way of life can be shown clearly as antithesis for the actual themes of the work.

Frieren just needed to give her education.
>>
niggers think I watch Frieren for the demon killing... but I watch Frieren for the Sky.
>>
>>284597985
Mainly because Frieren is very middling narou-kei series otherwise, and a lot of people don't get that they are ultimately just generic jrpg mustache twirling baddies which are also meant to be a foil to Frieren.
>>
>>284609890
yeah why else would lugner and that other (linie?) do aura's work? or aura do the maou's work? some give orders somehow. there's hierarchy.

The demon discussion is a rehash of the orc debate from Lord of the Rings. Whether or not orcs are redeemable was a big discussion point in LotR circles, with even Tolkien changing his mind about it. If you think the Freiren author arrived at the correct answer while Tokien himself didn't, I have a bridge to sell you.

There are too many of them to handle all of them reasonably
They are organized
They are too powerful
There are no institutions to lock them up forever to see if they can rehabilitate
They kill and manipulate and destroy for seemingly no reason other than to perpetuate themselves or enjoy themselves
They are basically Mohawks from HnK but in a fantasy setting and not lead by freakishly powerful martial artists, I don't see anybody complaining about Mohawks getting BTFO in Hokuto no Ken except dumb peaceniks.

This guy is literally copypasting my argument from earlier threads and still nobody can counter them.

By the way, there are two of us. I'm the guy who came up with >>284603136 originally. The OP reposting everything is one who wrote this >>284598309.

We both have the same view, and are apparently the only Frieren readers with above room temperature IQ. I mostly stopped engaging in these threads because Frieren fans are braindead sycophants so it inevitably goes nowhere.

Funny talking about the orcs in Tolkien when there's another native Isekai/ rpg fantasy/ D&D-like show that specifically deals with the orc debate, in the most bland, basic narrative approach possible.

Shockingly, both shows are magnets for low IQ racists, just like this meme >>284601412
>>
>>284597985

Because liberals don't like the idea of an inherently-evil fantasy race due to their suppressed belief there are inherently-evil races irl.
>>
>>284612736
Was Tolkien a liberal?
>>
>>284604038
>No one bothers making "peace" with them because the ORCS DON'T WANT PEACE. You can't live with what wants to destroy you. And this is where modern NPCs have a massive meltdown - they are told they MUST live with people who want to literally rape & kill them, and they accept that. That is why this story triggers them and forces them to issue copium and mental gymnastics in post form.

This makes more sense than anything else I've seen including my own post.
