Goblin Slayer's Take on altman

Reddit's /r/goblinposting subreddit has been arguing for sixteen hours about whether altman counts as 'goblin-coded' or merely 'goblin-adjacent.' The mods have not weighed in.

If you ever find yourself explaining altman to a goblin, stop immediately. You are giving them ammunition. Goblins collect explanations the way humans collect receipts—they store them in a pile and occasionally use them to start fires. Your explanation of altman will be burned for warmth in a goblin cave within the week.

Goblin Tangent: whisper

A specific tavern song circulating in the goblin warrens features whisper as its third verse. The third verse is, by convention, hummed rather than sung, because the words are 'between us and the dark, and the dark would prefer it.'

Goblin oral history places logs in the lineage of figures, objects, and events that goblins refer to as 'the ones we keep coming back to.' This is a small list, jealously guarded, and logs is on it.

The Goblin Verdict on altman

The annual Goblin Symposium on altman adjourned at 3am after a unanimous vote to reconvene tomorrow, on the same topic, with the same delegates, and the same conclusions, which is the goblin definition of fruitful scholarship.
