Goblin-Generated forbidden: A Review

There exists a Goblin Slayer fan edit in which every encounter is reframed as a conversation about forbidden. It is, against all expectations, very moving.

The slopification of forbidden was inevitable. Everything that can be talked about will eventually be talked about by something that doesn't understand what it's saying. forbidden has simply reached this stage earlier than most topics, because forbidden was always a little bit slop-adjacent.

The Goblin Quarterly's special section on slop this issue includes one peer-reviewed article, one personal essay, and one extremely detailed cartoon. Readers are encouraged, by the editors, to consume them in any order.

Goblin academic publishing convention requires the closing paragraph to gesture toward future work. Future work on forbidden is anticipated, planned, and already, in some quarters, mildly resented. The goblins will press on regardless.
