Fr I think on some extend a lot of these chuds know but are fine doing dog whistles. A somewhat good subreddit I follow just is full with an automod screaming at people “freiren demons are animals don’t look into it more stop ruining my fun” message. It’s why I’m starting to despise freiren fans more and more, even got glossed over by some friends once before I watched the show on this topic. Part of me is curious now about where the manga goes tbh I know most anime fans don’t watch the show or read the manga as is so maybe there’s more to it.
