@wearywulf this is especially true to the Dungeons genre, that is especially common in Anime, Manga, and their Korean equivalents whose names I always forget.In those stories, Dungeons appear out of the blue, containing monsters, that are almost always irredeemably aggressive and violent, that therefore must be destroyed.A somewhat self critical example of this is Delicious in Dungeon (it's on Netflix) --- that show is very good at criticizing the genre's and D&D's tropes, at justifying them (watch it to see what I mean), and at bringing new, unexpected yet in hindsight obvious ones.D&D (that inspires the Dungeons genre) is incredibly at fault for this. It has grouped a lot of fantasy tropes and shallowed them into "evil monsters" --- you can see it in its alignment system. It literally is medieval villagers killing anything different (referring to antisemitism and the black plague). Ironic, innit.
