Title: Have Goblins Become Short Stack Kim Kardashian Strumpets?
Post by: SHARK on October 19, 2021, 03:54:18 PM
Greetings!

I have in recent months purchased some new miniatures for my miniature collection for gaming. In looking through miniature company sites, 3D Printers, and so on, I have noticed that there are many Goblin miniatures that certainly qualify as being alluring and provocative. I have noticed a similar trend in various gaming-related art work. Then, I recently watched a video on Neckbeardia where they talked about all of these sexy Goblins and people wanting to have sex with hot Goblins.

Wow. So, when did green-skinned Goblins become short-stack Kim Kardashian strumpets?

Semper Fidelis,

The forgotten realms, pathfinder, and a bunch of other things, have just become a big furry convention where lots of people don't want to play humans and just use different races/species as player characters to show how "quirky and unique" they are while yiffing all over your furniture.

I'm pretty relaxed as a DM, but that's gonna be a Nope. 
Rule 1: No 'sex stuff" when I'm running a PG-13 table with my kids present.
Rule 2: But assuming an all-adults table, Goblins are ugly, stinky, dumb, malicious, dirty, garbage-dwelling vermin. If you wanna bang one, then A; There's something wrong with you and B; Let's talk about Con checks, diseases and parasitic infections. See pages 13-14of the 1e DMG and increase the base chances.

Bolding mine.

This is weird to me because I remember when Pathfinder did their first Adventure Path, goblins were remade from basic canon fodder into these scary little malicious prankster shits straight out of the Gremlins movies. I spent some good times terrorizing Players with them.

Good points, Jeff! Interestingly, both the seemingly more traditional depiction of Goblins being hordes of evil foot soldiers and minions--and Pathfinder's revamped depiction of Goblins being innovative, prankster-like terrorists flavoured from Gremlins movies--both depictions I think have fairly strong roots in historical mythology. They are related depictions, while still being distinctly different. I like it! ;D

Yeah, DM Curt! ;D Good stuff! I enjoy different angles on depicting Goblins--I think there's some definite room for good variations there--but the whole short stack Kim Kardashian strumpet thingy has me really scratching my head. "WTF?" *laughing*

Apparently, sexy Goblins--whether buffed, jacked male Goblins, or Kim Kardashian-like female Goblins--seem to have become great sex symbols and sexualized features for many new gamers, all eager to bang sexy Goblins!

*Laughing* Yiffing on your furniture! Yeah, Banjo, I suspect you are quite right. Some kind of "Furry" influence for sure! I've seen myself in public gaming groups this kind of driven obsession with playing the weirdest, "edgiest" characters and races available. Whoring vampires, half demons, big-titted cat girls, Goblins,--anything but Humans. Even Elves have seem to become discarded. Halflings and Gnomes are also much reduced, as well as Dwarves.

Oh, and it isn't just the guys wanting to play perverted, weird freaks, either. The women *lead* the way! They almost always want to not just play some weird, freak race, but they of course load the character up with as much depravity and debauchery as the DM allows. Yeah, the women do this, whether they are 18 or 50.

Furry Conventions indeed!

Goblins can vary a lot in stories. This is one Goblin King, for example:

This one isn't even something you can lay at the feet of the Woke crowd. (Not that I doubt the ability of many posters here to do so anyway.) As far as I know the "Sexy Female Goblin" idea comes from D&D-fetish sex manga that were (of course) created in Japan. Monster Girl Encyclopedia and the many, many works it inspired.

I've been aware of it for a while, but... It was only recently that I had to do a double-take on realising that this depiction of goblins had apparently gone mainstream.

It's not like this is anything new. Tolkein-style Dwarves shouldn't be a thing, he just invented them to clean up the legends. The Dwarves as depicted in Norse/Germanic myths got split into two races of Dwarves and Goblins, one of which got all the good aspects of the originals and the other getting all the unpleasant features. Bizarre as it sounds to say it the Harry Potter version of goblins is actually more accurate to myth than Tolkein.

That sounds right.

More generally, home printed/small business printed minis tend to use sex, because sex sells. And print quality is high enough the minis actually look sexy, unlike the lead lumps of the 70s-80s. So you get a lot more sexy minis now*. Sexy goblins are indeed likely a result of Pathfinder 2 making goblins a PC race, but many of these minis are anyway bought by painter-collectors not gamers. Judging by the Reaper boards, I'd agree that women are into the sexy minis at least as much as men are.

I remember a bit of an issue a few years back (online 5e Stonehell game) with a female player of a *non* sexy Tabaxi (catfolk) - she was thinking Elder Scrolls Khajiit cat people, while a rather socially maladjusted male player was thinking catgirl porn. I had to slap him down a bit. I know the female player IRL and she seems entirely asexual, the reaction her character got just wouldn't have occurred to her.

*Mainstream minis sellers like Reaper and Wizkids are actually under SJW pressure to not sell sexy minis, which I guess also creates a gap in the market. I do like that I can get sexy or non-sexy minis, and players like having a choice too.

I mean this can be applied to every monster ever really. Japan has sexified all of them. Yes including THAT one.

But its most certainly not a 'SJW' thing because they hate sex.

I am not ashamed to admit that the 3E Iconic Halfling chick was definitely some yummy eye-candy. ;D

I have been somewhat surprised though in the growth of Short Stack Kim Kardashian Goblins though. They certainly look good, both the figures and art. However, it is also jarring that the Goblins are better looking than most humans and even Elves. Halflings also have been shunted to the sidelines.

Elves should be breathtakingly gorgeous. The females, males, they should all be very attractive. Instead, what I usually see in the art and in the miniatures both is that the Elven males are androgynous, feminine-looking males, and pretty boring. Likewise, the female Elves are masculine, androgynous-looking females, straight and flat, and boring as well.

Then the Short Stack Kim Kardashian Goblins come along. ;D

Hi, Shark!

I don't know exactly where those hot goblin ladies came from. But it's not something new.

I guess it all started with the sexy orcs and half-orcs from World of Warcraft and other video-games (and even if WoW wasn't responsible for this, it certainly helped popularizing it, to the point it is pretty much commonplace in tabletop and electronic RPGs today).

From orcs to goblins it was just a matter of time. And, of course, with our hobby nowadays infested with SJWanker furries, those things become even more popular.

The art below is from the mobile game Raid: Shadow Legends

(https://i.pinimg.com/originals/73/24/6d/73246d8b62edc49417207fd6ff00e331.png)


In my campaign, however, orcs are quite savage and bestial, pretty much like Peter Jackson portrayed them in his LotR movie trilogy. I prefer them like this:

(https://66.media.tumblr.com/3c38329b173a35391e5f6945f4696f09/tumblr_nw5uygQryH1uqhshmo1_r1_1280.png)

(https://i.pinimg.com/originals/2c/93/cd/2c93cd3b3aba28298f62072ee83bfe71.jpg)


I really don't like "pig-faced" orcs, though - I think they are silly.

Anyway, back to goblins... my goblins are filthy, disgusting creatures. I doubt any self-respecting PC would like to bang a female goblin.  ;D The pictures below show how goblins are portrayed in my campaigns. Neither cute, nor sexy:

If you're looking for decent goblin minis I use the Oathmark goblins. Same company that makes Frostgrave. Gives you a variety of weapons and shields should you want them.

GREYWOLF! ;D Yeah, the Orc warrior chick from RAID--look at her? *Laughing* Definitely Strumpet-qualifying! All of these player groups wanting to wallow in the sewer! Good! Start breeding with everything, and creating all kinds of misfit monstrosities. In my campaign world of Thandor, I specifically have a mutated Humanoid race--mostly of human stock, but also includes a composite of Elves, Dwarves, Halflings, Gnomes, and Orcs. Same basic attribute profile regardless of specific parentage, and then add 1D3+1 Chaos Mutations. The mutants, geo-politically, are of course anathema to civilize society, and upon discovery are routinely brutally tortured and burned at the stake. Thus, bands of the mutant Hammanar gather together out in the dark forests, the wilderness, and wastelands, where they live in savage tribes. The Hammanar are loosely organized, and totally "Diverse" and "Tolerant". They embrace all manner of misshapen mongrels and misfits. They routinely practice abortion, infanticide, and mass human sacrifice. They worship dark, savage deities and wicked spirits, and live in thorough depravity. They exalt individual freedom and expression, and deeply celebrate all kinds of bizarre mutations. The more bizarre and fucked up they are, the more they shriek in glee. They breed and fuck everything and anything they get their hands on, because "Love is Love!" The Hammanar mystics embrace Witches, Warlocks, depraved sorcerers, evil clerics, and drug-addled, debauched Bards that live lives of absolute wickedness. The Hammanar tribes generally form loosely organized tribes with fortified villages, and occasionally a squalid, fortified town. Their civic organization and deplorable work ethic doesn't really allow them to advance much beyond that, as for initially building or creating something of their own. They are too lazy, too consumed with hedonism and pursuing their own selfish pleasure, and too prideful and arrogant to cooperate for long periods of time with their fellows. Their social circles are absolute dens of scheming, gossip, backbiting, and treachery. One group becomes offended at another group or individual for the most trivial of reasons, and hatreds and rivalries are fostered constantly and deeply nourished by bitterness, envy, jealousy, and seething resentments. Of course, larger, more established civilized communities can be infiltrated and gradually corrupted an taken over. The Hammanar are good at corrupting, polluting, and destroying the works of others. The Hammanar in such few civilized communities where they are permitted to live in sub-cultural communities, are always protesting and screaming for more rights, and always fighting for more power, influence, and control. They stage public rallies and violent riots, and have roving gangs scouring the city neighborhoods, always looking for businesses to loot and plunder, and normal people to attack and victimize. Of course, the Hammanar also spread their corruption to others, infecting good and innocent people with Chaos Mutations.

Meanwhile, there are always a cadre of civilized, seemingly normal citizens that are cucked, and believe that Hammanar are people that deserve rights and acceptance, and should not be discriminated against or persecuted. These sweet citizens believe that the Hammanar's individualism and diversity should be embraced and celebrated! Fun times!

It's good to have a constant source of agitation and threat for the rest of civilization. Beyond Orcs and Ratmen and hordes of monsters, civilized communities always have to concern themselves with the corrupting sewage from within their own society. The Hammanar also regularly recruit new members, which if they are not already mutated, are soon infected and become properly mutated and "Diverse!" The Hammanar also enjoy accelerated breeding and fertility, and augment their populations--whether in urban areas or out in the wilderness--by capturing or otherwise embracing orphans, loners, adolescents, runaways, misfits, whores, drug-addicts, criminals, and the mentally unstable.

Semper Fidelis,

It kind of just started - but I got on the curve early and did massive RT to promote and included importing them into my own game.  Non sale RPG side project - no ads, registrations, scripts - just old school web page with link to main PDF for RPG - not stand alone/3rd party more suggestion to make RPGs sexual and Vulgar to spit in the face of the MonteCook/Hasbro/Zweihander people -and the "Asian" kids raving old school "Oriental Adventures" was bad...

Having trouble uploading, a bit of a newbie here, but the images - might as well link...

NSFW link again free, etc.  So warning +18 and boss/wife/pastor better not see..

https://www.galaxyslavegirls.com/blog-rpg-b%20manual.htm (https://www.galaxyslavegirls.com/blog-rpg-b%20manual.htm)

Game supplement is "Not F.A.T.A.L. but Serious!" and I'm close to finishing the "Revealed Vulgaria" expansion which will have tons more tables, suggestions, some more images...depending on permissions, drawings from friends, etc.

Domesticated Goblina - Page 22

Long and Short a Depraved Wizard bred goblin females to drunk/drugged human males. After a few tries and quick generations he got petite short-stacks and sold them as cheap sex slaves.  Goblins had less rights than standard vermin like Rats and Spiders - also goblins are short lived and brutal and their women have it worse so they really can't escape to improve anything.  And their mothers/grandmothers told them how cruel the goblins in the tribe were and how much better off their lives would be.  I'm going on the Jack Vance paradigm where an RPG world is Earth in the far, far future so since dragons can cross with anything already why not...  These cute things serve mid-level characters for 'ego' boosts to maintain adventuring spirit.  Tiny feet or even poky stumps due to the wizard having a fetish for "Pleasure Maidens of the Far East".  Most are cute "Sex Pets" but a few (rare or expensive) can have traits like fighting, thievery or magic use - so imagine a Lv 5 fighter carrying on his back a cute short stack that can shoot Web and Magic Missiles!


Again - well my RPG project is NSFW - rather it IS "Work Safe and Family Friendly" - IF said "Family" is that of that "Fifth Beatle" who ruined their Helter Skelter song and the Workplace is undergoing a Job Complaint being filed "Post Office" style...

I run my goblins very much like in Goblin Slayer. Brutal and evil yet weak alone and without their pack. Dumb and retarded but conniving. Ugly and deformed but looking to enslave women in their filthy dens.

The forgotten realms, pathfinder, and a bunch of other things, have just become a big furry convention where lots of people don't want to play humans and just use different races/species as player characters to show how "quirky and unique" they are while yiffing all over your furniture.

Fact check true

It’s almost as though there are universal standards of beauty or something!  Go figure…

Good points, Jeff! Interestingly, both the seemingly more traditional depiction of Goblins being hordes of evil foot soldiers and minions--and Pathfinder's revamped depiction of Goblins being innovative, prankster-like terrorists flavoured from Gremlins movies--both depictions I think have fairly strong roots in historical mythology. They are related depictions, while still being distinctly different. I like it! ;D

I'd say not really. First and foremost if you want historically accurate goblin then from cannon fodder pest, you need to turn it back into Fae being. Presumable CN one.
Evil ones akin to redcaps, other akin to just ugly puks. Evil foot soldier for orc/goblin is basically Tolkien invention, Gremlins... well we know. Both are XX-century and aside of ugly and small they have little to do with magical mischevous spirits of old folklore.

It's not like this is anything new. Tolkein-style Dwarves shouldn't be a thing, he just invented them to clean up the legends. The Dwarves as depicted in Norse/Germanic myths got split into two races of Dwarves and Goblins, one of which got all the good aspects of the originals and the other getting all the unpleasant features. Bizarre as it sounds to say it the Harry Potter version of goblins is actually more accurate to myth than Tolkein.

Tolkien style Dwarves are distinctly Semitic in speech, and style, and proficency to arcane. Most of dwarves in D&D are more I think Warhammer dwarves - angry Scottish antimagical mining manlets. I agree Khazads of Tolkien breaks certain elements of Germanic mythos, but so do his Elves, and his Gods, so nothing new here.

I've remarked on this before, but what the hell, I'm up for another go around.

Make your goblins, orcs, whatever, the way YOU want them depicted in game. Evil spirits in human flesh? Proud Warrior Race Guys & Girls? Sapient fungal collections? Go nuts. It's your goddamn game.

I do prefer Pathfinder (1E's) depiction of goblins, though, since they straddle the line between 'comedy' and 'danger' nicely. It's why I was bemused that 2E made them a playable race ancestry; it's like... playing a Kafer in the old 2300AD RPG. Why?

(I would've picked kobolds instead, for the record. MUCH more interesting.)

Yeah, but there's terrible PCs, and then there's 'we're literally so stupid that we think writing steals words out of your head'.

That is literal canon for PF goblins.

After decade of reading various RPG forums, I'm afraid goblins may be right.

I recently found and ordered Mantic Games Kings of War goblins as well. Minis seem solid and more rag tag than the Oathmark ones. I'll give an update if you want it when the minis come in.

I have two distinct types of goblin to deal with the extremes. They’re the same species, but owing to a goblin generation being about two years… one branch are the creative bat-like beastmen who worship the goddess of dreams and the moon (so all sorts of enchantment and illusion magic).

 The others have been brutalized and tortured by the orcs for a hundred generations until they are barely more than savage animals, their wings torn from their bodies as infants to keep them from escaping the slave pits where, if there is mercy, it is that they live barely four years. The strongest and most savage get the “privilege” of becoming the orcs’ slave soldiers they throw into battle as cannon fodder ahead of their main thrusts. The ones who survive become the favored pets of their orc masters and get to boss around the lesser goblins for the orcs. They’re evil, but the way a brutalized and starving dog trained to attack people is evil… a reflection of their masters’ soul.

Even the free goblins agree the only merciful action to take with their tormented kin is to send them home to their goddess in hopes of a peace in the next life they were denied in this one. Everyone also agrees the orcs are monsters deserving only of death… because they are humans who choose to inflict their wickedness on others because they are “the strong” and all who are weak deserve to be enslaved (they are also not barbarians… organizationally and culturally they’re all the worst traits of the Roman Empire at it’s most decadent).

Short-version… there are “sexy” (in the “furries can make anything into a fetish” sense) bat-girl goblins, but the majority are feral animals about as sexy as meeting a real-life feral child kept locked in a cellar for decades (as in *squick* + *vomit*).

Hmmm... that's bit weird description because it seems more like Sparta or Rome in non-decadent times (because Rome in decadent stage was far from vicious slaving Empire of it's prime).

The Rule 34 community turning Goblins into Green Halflings and it's consequences have been a disaster for the human race.
