sevi007:

Why did
nobody tell me that Dante gets a literal cowboy
hat as his weapon in DMC 5, this is incredibly
important!

… Mainly
because I headcanon since DMC 4 that Dante likes cowboys (look at his outfit in
that game) and was especially enthusiastic about them when he was still a kid
(in that “Mum I’m gonna be a cowboy when
I grow up!” kind of you, you know) and that he would be absolutely delighted
to have a real cowboy hat.

If Dante
doesn’t say at least one dumb cowboy pun while having the weapon equipped,
like, a “yeehaw” or “steady on!” or “there’s only space for one of us in this city” or something, I’m
gonna sue.

Also now
Capcom needs to give us an extra skin for Dante so you can switch into his DMC
4 outfit and equip the cowboy hat on top of it, just to complete the damn look.

Dante gets so into it he challenges Lady to a duel, “Pistols at noon! You and me cowpoke!”

Lady stares at him without a word for a whole two minutes.

And then she shoots him in the head. 

And then she walks over to him, still grumbling about how much that stings, and yanks the damn hat off of his head and starts stomping on it despite his protests.

She shoots it a couple of times too for good measure.

Dante picks up the remains of his poor, abused, hat, cut down in the prime of it’s life, “Why?”

Lady stares him dead in the face, expression stone still, “I made a vow to destroy evil.” 

Silence.

“Also, you’re annoying enough without having an excuse to talk with that godawful western accent.”

I’d like to say that the reaction to Goblin Slayer was surprising….but it really wasn’t.

Though, I will admit, it is understandable…to a degree. Because, and fans of GS please be honest here, this series can be really exploitative with the r*pe scenes, especially early on, and can be a bit gratuitous at times with all the gore and violence. I like this series a lot, but even I can admit that sometimes those scenes are there…just to remind the viewers that yes goblins are super evil and stuff when we kinda got that message the first few times.

What bother’s me more than anything about these responses are that so many people, so many people that are known for being more levelheaded than this and usually willing to give things a fair chance, are being so….knee jerky about this.

Already people are panning this show as awful and terrible and it’s only been one episode. Goblin Slayer has it’s issues sure, I’d hardly call it A+ material, but there is more to it than just the violence and…that. 

Again, I get it, the subject matter isn’t something small or insignificant, and light novels are pretty infamous for exploiting this particular crime to rise the stakes in a cheap way, but Goblin Slayer is not cheap.

If you really cant stand even the sight of that, than by all means don’t watch it, but I still think people should give it a chance. Don’t we have that 3 episode rule for a reason?

boss-hoody:

“Goblins are a metaphor for jews so therefor a show about killing goblins en mass is racist”

What in the seven holy fucks are you people actually talking about?

DO YOU HEAR YOURSELVES?

YOU SOUND FUCKING LOONY

ARE DRAGONS RACIST NOW TOO?

LEPRECHAUNS?
