They are shown to have morality and free will, so there are some who can follow and believe our morality. Every time Frieren fires first she is in the wrong.

I would also enjoy that kind of story, but then the author wanted to make demons interesting and gave them free will and morality. This is what ruins the show for me.

They do have free will but where have you seen any depiction of morality as humans understand it? You also need to understand that a characters thoughts and actions are up to your own interpretation and do not necessarily reflect the authors opinions. Even if I were to disagree with Frieren the character as strongly as you seem to, then it still wouldn't detract from my enjoyment of the show. I don't need my entertainment to regurgitate my own morals to me.

The morality I speak of is the one of hierarchy and magical power. The fact that they have both a moral system and free will means that they can chose to adopt another moral system. Frieren can't know if every demon follows the same system.

You either haven't watched or are making up headcanon to justify your opinion.

[-] HappyFrog 2 points 2 months ago

What disagreement do you have with what I've said? I've watched the anime and even read through the manga, up to when they defeat the golden demon.

Other people have already provides detailed examples, while you have not, in this thread AND one 2 weeks ago. I don't see any point in arguing with you because you've clearly decided you don't like the show and that's ok, but going on every thread where frieren comes up and insisting it's glorifying actual human genocide is ridiculous and exhausting.

[-] HappyFrog 1 points 2 months ago

I just want the author to think before he makes a character who unambiguously wants a genocide.

Are characters only allowed to be perfectly moral, or something?

[-] HappyFrog 1 points 2 months ago

No, but the author seems to want to paint Frieren like she's is.

[-] irmoz@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

You sure about that? Or is that something that happened in your own head?
