I think anons here struggle with the demons because they're just really convoluted.
>"They're animals who are just mimicking sapience"
But they mimic it so well they might as well be sapient?
>"They don't have emotions."
Except for the ones that clearly do?
>"They prey on sapient species"
But not for any real reason? They don't need to eat them and don't enjoy it. So why?
>"They always trick and kill humans"
But humans haven't learnt this after millennia and still trust them? Or don't even seem to know about what was until very recently, an apocalyptic threat.
>"They "evolved" to hunt humans."
But have a very obvious non-human trait that serves them absolutely no benefical purpose?
They're just badly written because the author tried too hard to do a weird twist with "biology" instead of just making them evil monsters. People will go back and forth 100 times to avoid saying author just fucked up writing them this way and shouldn't have done it if they wanted logical consistency in their world building.

Child or trolling?
Frieren is a metaphor for immigration and that answers all you confusion.

THe board is dead and unfortunately it's not getting any better now that the traffic's gone. I wish death to all the naive simpletons who kept repeating the line that less people = higher quality discussions.

I mean, look at this autist who has made the same thread about demons over and over for the past year and a half. That's who stays. Not the creatives or the eccentrics. It's just delusional autists that don't have much going on upstairs.

It's a shit story which you can't make sense of because the author is making things up as they go.

Frieren's demons are actually simple and it's clear what the author is going for. It's just that he didn't give any thought to the consequences of what he's writing, so it ends up being very retarded and poorly written.
>"They're animals who are just mimicking sapience"
They are basically sapient. Any distinction isn't big enough to matter.
>"They don't have emotions."
They do have emotions. They're just missing key traits like guilt and empathy.
>"They prey on sapient species"
>"They "evolved" to hunt humans."
Yeah there's literally no reason for them to evolve that way as a sapient species when it's detrimental to their survival. We don't even know what they eat humans for and we've never seen how they do it. I doubt the writer thought that far. He just came up with it because he needs a reason to put demons in conflict with humanity and for shock value.
>"They always trick and kill humans"
This is the most inane part. They've been tricking humans for centuries but don't know what parents are? The writer did this just to show how much demons lie and deceive and didn't give it any deeper thought. A master deceiver would study up and learn everything they can about their victims (a demon even expressed curiosity about it but ended it there). If demons are missing something this basic, they must have other massive holes in their knowledge. This would not work at all. What the fuck are they going to do if they're asked to talk about their parents? On the flip side, it's retarded that demons are the greatest enemies of humanity yet humans know nothing about demon society like something as fundamental as them not having parents. It's basic military strategy to know your enemy. The deception only works because the writer made humans braindead. It's so obvious how he just makes shit up without thinking even one step ahead, which is why Frieren's writing is so shallow.
>>
It's the best and worst part of Frieren because the writer has no idea what he wants to do with them.
>>
Demons should be treated like if ChatGPT had a pretty face and was always planning to eat you
>>
Honestly at this point i given up on demon morality, it doesn't make any sense, and that's ok.
>>
Demons have proven to have emotions multiple times, is not just to decieve.
>>
>>287621879
They are not convoluted. The story just throws red herrings about their nature. It is deliberate. Like, in the recent official factbook the information about demons and only about demons is prefaced with mention that it is in-setting writing by Flamme.

Demons are not vampires (predators of mankind), though they look he part. They are more glamorous orcs (deliberately engineered to destroy mankind). They have a murder impulse wired into them. It cannot be fully resisted, only rules-lawyered around for a time ("yes, I'll kill all those humans one day... but not today"). And nearly all of them don't even consciously realize that they have this impulse and that their behavior is not fully rational. Thus all the answers along the lines "but WHY you are asking me to not kill humans" which make them appear to be mimics, stringing words together without understanding them to those who can't see their memories and internal monologue.

I noticed with seeing the same ten threads two week later, what happened?

I mean it's really obvious
Demons are hot but evil, people don't want to believe they're evil because they're hot.

It's just people seething about the allegorical implications

You're the only one struggling, and continually re-making this stupid thread, because you can't understand basic shit you've been told time and time again.

Checked

>>287621879
Demons don't lack emotion, they lack things that put emotions together like empathy, guilt, malice and intent.
Also their logic operate on a level totally different than ours, to the point most acts by demons seem to be based on an impulse or a whim.
They work on a totally different framework than most creatures in the setting, they don't even need to eat or sleep.

People die
People move on
People go to altchans
People go to discord
We're all aging and in different stages of life, and newer gens have more things to occupy their time than browsing imageboards, leading to population decline
At least /vg/ will always have tons of traffic

God i wish we had that too.

Just keep telling yourself that the story potraying the pastiest motherfuckers imaginable, living in the north, and opposing a multiracial alliance, as pure evil, somehow supports your viewpoint, /pol/shitter. Your desperation is cute.
