It’s an anime about your Skyrim character after you clear all the quests in the game and dump your inventory into a chest in one of your houses and walk around picking flowers and looking at the fish in the river with your ENB graphics mod when you hear a voice behind you shout “Never should have come here!”

I always saw the demons as an allegory for sociopaths and psychopaths. People who either cannot and outright refuse to feel empathy for others, making them very willing to harm others without feeling any guilt.

It's basically taking the lines from LOTR where Elrond tries scaring Arwen, and running with that as the main conceit. "What happens to the elf girl when her human dies and she has to go on living forever".
>>
>>286206126
The demons aren't an allegory for anyone, they're a thematic foil for characters like Frieren and Serie who think they can't form connections, to force a comparison that the characters themselves can't ignore as an example of what that actually looks like, and that despite whatever they might feel they are elves not demons and they really do want and need to care for others

there's a segment in one c. s. Lewis book in which a christian and a literal demon throw hands, and the guy is delighted to finally realize why the feeling of hatred was created by God. until then he had never found an object that was completely deserving of it, so any feeling of hatred he might have had followed some tinge of guilt, but when he did find the perfect target for hatred, in the form of the demon, it was like finally finding the lock for a lost key

of course it's a little silly to compare a shounen anime to a passage by one of the great british authors of the last century but whenever this quarreling on the demons of this show resurfaces (every 12 hours or so) i can't help but remember it.
>>
>>286207176
This, plus Demons allow us to explore a set of themes by contrast that the story would otherwise have difficulty making relevant. There is a reason why, over the first few chapters of the story, everyone treats the passage of time as a big deal UNTIL Frieren speaks with Qual and tells him that he was sealed for 80 years, and his response is "No time at all, then." This demon is the first time we see ANY other character who's frame of reference in time is akin to Freiren's, establishing from the outset that similarities are going to be explored here.

Every discussion on how Demons no matter how hard they try cannot change their nature and be like humans is itself a reflection of the fact that Frieren is also fighting against her nature and will ultimately fail despite her best efforts. No matter how much she wants to slow down and live in the moment alongside her pet humans, she is fundamentally unable to. Elves are not naturally hostile to humans like Demons are, but that doesn't mean that there are not parallels between how their inhuman psychology is a limitation that they can fighting against but never actually overcome.
>>
>>286207899
That's not right
Frieren can overcome her limitations because she can feel love, grief, and regret
The demon's can't, which is exactly why they'll never be able to change or even want to
>>
>>286205914
Yes.
There's demon morality discussion, or discussion of how erotic Frieren's feet are.
And the latter doesn't really provoke much discussion because everyone is in agreement.
>>
>>286205914
It's fine, it's just not much to talk about
>>
>>286207899
the moral of Frieren is that Arwen should have gotten on that damn boat.
>>
>>286207973
You misunderstand: Elves do not have the SAME limitations as demons, but are the same in that they HAVE limitations.
Frieren's never been held back by an inability to experience feelings like love or grief or malice. Those are the things that demons are incapable of. But the elves that we have seen have all shared specific traits regarding how they perceive events around them and their relationships with other people, and we can thus conclude that these commonalities are traits of Elves rather than simply personal quirks of Frieren herself.
Elves have a bad habit of putting things off for another century because they think they have more time, a lack of introspection about their own emotional motivations for things which leads to a disconnect between their words and their actions, just generally have trouble engaging with things on a human timescale. None of this is something they can just willpower their way out of any more than a demon can force itself to experience grief.

It's more than that.
Demons look like humans, speak like humans and infiltrate human societies, but they're monsters with ulterior motives. They actively hurt people not because they have a sense of good and evil while choosing to do evil, but because they evolved to eat humans.
IRL secular humanists want to believe that morality is universal, but this only works for them if there is a single human nature from which all morals come from. But if different humans have different nature, then each person has their own morality. What is good for you wouldn't be good for others and vice versa.
Frieren is being used as a propaganda tool because it illustrates this problem perfectly.

I got her and himmel with my 250 stones left from the last event.
you can trade for her and most of the hero party, but the problem is Fern.
To use Frieren’s leader skill it would be nice to have Fern to get the combo boost and make 6 yellow orbs with a 1 turn cooldown, but Fern is 1.5% gacha and you can’t trade for her.
Himmel is a strong leader skill but you need to get 5 colors for full multiplier, and while that’s not hard if you’ve been playing a long time, you need to think each turn so it’s not good for simple daily grinding.
Also you need to mount assists on them to get the transform usable immediately.
It’s not a bad collab but the rezero collab from a few weeks ago was probably stronger.
it’s take a while for people to decide on the meta for this collab though, maybe in a week we’ll have accurate rankings.

You're wrong
Frieren will overcome her autism because she is a person and not a monster
Your comparison of them is vile and you reek of a demonapologist
Do not dare bismirch the name of Frieren in such a way
You dont understand that she already loves the people in her life. She just doesn't realize it.

That would be Eisen, chapter 1 you insincere faggot. And Frieren does have connections to other long lived species throughout the story, but that would be dwarves and is why she has alot of dwarf friends. They are the only other long lived species that she can relate to about certain things

>No matter how much she wants to slow down and live in the moment alongside her pet humans, she is fundamentally unable to
We see her do literally opposite, in fact from very early on she changes her ways and makes me time for others taking their needs more into consideration than her own. In fact that is the whole point of the story, that her experiences getting to know humans made her appreciate the short time she gets with them. She has shifted her ways multiple times throughout this manga from student to teacher, from master to mother. The things you think are not happening have been going on since the begining.

Your posts just scream dressed up demon simping desu

The fact the concept is controversial is just an indicator how far post-modern thinking has crept into the minds of the masses.

Correct, the demons are the only engaging thing about the story. The comfy vibe is also nice but it goes stale before the end of the first cour in season one since it's all the same thing.

I don't get what she sees in Himmel desu. As a character he's much flatter and less interesting than Heiter or Eisen.
>>
>>286205914
Yes. Slice of life increasingly have an issue where people assume 'boring' means 'comfy' and is enough to justify their existence. This genre was much, much better in the 00s when it remembered its origin as 4 panel gag comics imitating the substance of azumanga.

There is no current evidence as to how /pol/ was psyop'd. It obviously was and is, don't get me wrong, but probably not in the way you think. Saying that Epstein created /pol/ is funny and all, but it doesn't make sense if you try to analyse the situation dispassionately.
>>
>>286205047
I guess it's "redpilled" in the sense that modern media has this really bizarre fixation with shades of grey, where nothing can be clear cut, much less make any sort of consistent claims about something being ontologically evil. And this is why Frieren felt so fresh when it released, because this kind of storytelling was desirable. Yeah, it's a post-game RPG slice of life and all, but it accidentally tapped into something that audiences were craving for spiritually.
>>
>>286211563
He’s basing it on the fact that one of Tolkien’s sons got molested reportedly by a ‘close personal friend’ (and later the son became a priest and molested some kid himself).

People have speculated Lewis might have been the guy because for a long time he was single and never seemed to be in a sexual relationship with a woman but it turns out he had a thing for older women and always in along term relationship for much of his life and they just kept it private. Retard over here just didn’t get the memo.
