Why is it whenever I try to find any info out about this game I find posts full of edgy "haha I killed that, are U mad?" assholes and borderline "race realists"?

Ffs I just wanted to find a post that would help me avoid killing Kobolds and the one posts I find asking the question is full of edgelords bragging about how they love to kill "vermin" races and gays.

This is what you get when you make a fantasy world were certain races are born evil, it attracts all the racist freaks that want to live out their genocide fantasies.

It's killing my fun for this game.

Japan is a very conservative country, so the media there skews very conservative. A lot of anime does focus on "inherently evil" villains, but there's also some good stuff.

The most low effort slop invariably will just reflect the general cultural attitudes of the people, because the creator doesn't care enough to think about it or try to challenge it. And anime is an industry with a massive slop problem.
