Goblincore can be interpreted as inherently antisemitic 100%. It's based off the folklore of goblins hoarding things which is absolutely from the harmful stereotype that Jews are greedy and slimy. Jewish people time and again have asked people not to use it and to not make excuses for it. Corvid and magpie -core are much better for the collecting aspect, gremlin-core for the bog aspect. Cavedweller-core is also cool, incorporating aspects of both and adding Paleolithic fun facts into the mix

this.

It’s cool that you take things at face value, less chance of upsetting people. Could you explain to me how the goblin culture is in any way antisemitic though? ... I mean, we like shiny things, forests, dirt, snails and other little foresty creatures, or just collecting personal treasures. Plus the community at large seems to be very diverse and accepting... I just don’t see the supposed antisemitism. Which is why I kinda think it was a joke.

im not the best person to answer this but ill give it a go since youve sent it my way.

many people rightly believe that goblins can be antisemitic becuase they were originally made to be an antisemitic caricature of jewish people. stuff like the green skin, greed for money, over-sized nose, big pointy ears, etc,, were the parts of goblinhood that are completely inappropriate and there are many ignorant people in the goblin community today that do feed into that awful caricature.

HOWEVER,, many of believe that goblims have evolved beyond that caricature into a fantasy creature (that many love) and now it has even evolved into a way of life..,. by stripping this horrifying stereotype into shreds and replacing it with all the things you mentioned (e.g. forests, dirt, snails, etc.,)  we are really just dismantling the antisemitic nature of goblins completely..,

im very glad for kind anons to come in here and point out things i was doing with ignorance,, so i can change and become better.., and im very happy when people take time out of their day to do that for me..,. we as a community need to be really receptive to anything we could be doing wrong,,.

in short,, some goblin culture is antisemitic and some isnt,, but everyone here are just at different stages of being educated on the subject and i dont think anyone in our goblin community is doing anything maliciously..,,. and politly pointing out mistakes is a good way to steer people in the right direction..,

,.sorry for the long answer,, i could have easily gone into more detail but i do suggest that you look for other more knowledgable goblins if you want a more expansive answer on the subject. i hope this was helpful :)

once again the antisemetic origins of goblins has been brought up on this blog,, so for some of the newer members of this community this can be shocking to realise.,., but just know,, goblincore isnt inherently antisemitic, but if youre not careful then it can be.,. some very fabulous gobblogs have gone into more detail, and the many jewish goblincore ppl have talked about this very topic.,.,, do your own research, come to your own conclusions., based on my own knowledge and judgement,,, i am changing my blog to a gremlincore blog,,. idk im just not the place to be confronting such a hateful history of a word

[dirt-gremlin-ideas]

What is a goblinsona? I know it's probably stupid but I'm new to goblincore and I'm not quite sure of all the terms yet.

its like your goblin persona,,, its good shit.,. its the part of yourself that wants to run into a forest right now and fall asleep in some moss. a very imporatnt part of creating a goblinsona is remembering that the term goblin has antisemetic roots and goblincore has the aim of flipping those on its head so that it is no longer a term of hate but a term of moss. a lot of ppl use big nosed, green skinned, greedy goblinsonas and thats just reenforcing the whole antisemetic idea of the word. that is not what goblincore is about. goblincore is about embracing the parts of yourself that society has told you to hate. the part that likes to do weird shit at 3am and collect rocks and go on long walks in nature. so like, keep that in mind you know.,

hey idk if you got an anon abt this a while ago but. the term 'goblin' and 'goblincore' is rlly antisemitic and it would be nice if you altered it to 'gremlin' or smth ,, it's just so you aren't being offensive to the jewish community, no hate. ofc you could b jewish and reclaiming it and if so, sorry for rambling - im trying to shed light on the toxicity of the term goblin

goblincore isnt inherently antisemetic but its origins were and interpretations of it can be but because of im not jewish, im definitely changing my shit to gremlin now

[dirt-gremlin-ideas]

hey !! just letting you know that the term 'goblin' and the whole demographic of it is antisemitic and using the worst jewish stereotypes and exaggerations ( long nose, greedy, green skin ), so people would appreciate it if you alternated your name / theme to a similar term that isnt 'goblin. perhaps gremlin? of course, if you're jewish and reclaiming the term, thats completely fine- ( and if so, i wish you a happy second night! c: ) but yeah. jus a reminder /nm

yah,, im aware of the antisemetic origins of the word goblin and that goblincore in the beginning kinda reinforced those ideals but ive been quite careful not to do that and my goblinsona has certainly reflected that. i definitely have the viewpoint that goblincore is actually quite a nice thing in the way that it strips the word goblin of its originally antisemetic qualities and turns it into something that is much easier defined as moss loving capitolism hating bog creatures. like isnt it kinda better that thats what the word goblin has become? but that will never take away the gross history of the word and i just dont feel comfortable using that wword now. anyways i am thus changing my blog into a gremlin blog..

today my partner and i went to the botanical gardens and found a secluded spot where we put down a blanket and got comfortable. we sat beneath a tall tree filled with birds. he read his favourite book to me while i drew. an ibis watched on. other couples came and went. hours passed. his voice grew tired. i took the book from his hands and lightly kissed his lips. i began to read. he began to draw. it began to get cold. we packed up and took the long way home. i collected trimmings of various plants while he told me about his thoughts. and now i lie in bed next to him, the warm comfort of his body close enough to remind me of him as i drift into unconsciousness. he will wake first tomorrow and put his arms around me. i will awake soon after and sleeply inquire about his dreams. he will put on some music. he found some new artists he wants to show me. ill make pancakes and listen. we’ll eat together, slowly, not wanting to leave each other’s presence. he’ll start to clean up and ill go water the plants that occupy our home that we share. our lives will continue, filled with love for the simple domestic pleasures that we have surrounded ourselves in and our love for each other.

humans get so bogged down in words when feelings are so much more then can be expressed by the simple “i love you.” of course many other languages have made their attempts but nothing has ever really captured the various feelings that “i love you” can possibly encompass. my friend will put an unopened can of beans in the fridge and there is no other response for this then the simple words of “i love you.” the words do not express the emotion. there aren’t words for it. you only have to be so closely connected to another being to understand it and if you are then the words are no longer necessary. i say these words freely because i feel them. i say these words because there is no benefit in me holding in this love i feel towards the simple actions and existences of these beings that i hold so dear to me. when my boyfriend shows me a picture of a pigeon because he know i will enjoy its little dance, then i say “i love you” but i mean more. there is history in these words. history in this simple act of affection. history that say, “i know you.” it is overwhelming to think of all the subtle ways an act like this can make you feel. when my other boyfriend makes a planter out of recycled wood for me to grow herbs. i dont say “i love you” though. it would make him uncomfortable and thats okay, he doesnt view love the way i do. he views it as a precious commodity to be with held until absolutely sure it can be given. but i tell him i love him when i buy him energy drinks cos i noticed he ran out or when i wash his dishes when hes tired. there are more ways to express love then in words. he does not say it but it is felt everytime he makes a stupid noise or shows me a tv show he likes or lies next to me in bed to feel my warmth. love as an expression does not have to be shouted or even whispered, but it is felt when it is meant even without any auditory accompaniment. and when i see a frog, i feel love. not because i nor the frog is saying it, but because the frog is love embodied. the frog is the expression in which no other words could possibly describe. any number of people could confirm this statement because deep inside us all this is a truth. a truth that has stayed with us for millennia and will stay with us long after any memory of me has vanished. here is a recipe for buttermilk pancakes.
