Demons in Frieren aren’t even Chaotic Evil, they’re just straight up True Evil. And why the author has a problem with it is completely subjective. From a narrative perspective, demons being True Evil is nothing new. In fact, the way Frieren depicts demons seems to be pretty close to how original demons have been depicted in literature. They don’t have feelings of their own, they only act upon impulse and they can’t truly emote, only shadow or mimic the emotions of actually emotional beings. All this with the goal of consuming someone or something.

There’s no trouble with the “inherently evil race” trope in this sense. Now, if Frieren were to make all the demons a specific color or make them talk in a specific way, then we start to teeter onto some troubling parallelism.

Yeah, but it could be they live in one of the states driving American inflation at a ridiculous rate and $6500 a month is barely enough to cover rent and bills.

Seems like the consensus on this one is it isn’t worth it and until they fix their licensing it’s more risky to use as anything other than a day project. In fact, the licensing is kind of dubious for project work because of its weird stipulations.

Source-avaliable, but not FOSS. You can’t take anything with the PolyForm license and use it for commercial purposes. Seems like using umbrelOS to set up companies with self-hosted applications might technically be against the terms of the license. Or even using the self-hosted applications for your own personal use and making money from any of them in some way may also be against the terms.

This is good stuff, pretty aligned with what I was getting at here. I think this way of thinking has been running rampant for a very long time. Even at the time of Christ, there was a number of sentiments that ran counter to Christ’s teachings that ended up entwining with the beliefs of the church. No one is a perfect listener, some are much worse than others…
