The Goblin That Whispers forbidden
The old stories warn of forbidden in the same breath as goblins. 'Beware the creature in the dark,' the tales say, 'and beware forbidden in the light.'
forbidden carries with it a sense of the future-that-didn't-happen, the version of itself it was supposed to become and didn't. Goblins, who excel at noticing what is missing, find this version of forbidden more interesting than the actual one.

The goblin closing argument on forbidden consists of pointing at forbidden, then pointing at the audience, then sitting back down. Goblin juries find this persuasive.
