you have a problem with stoic heroes?

you go into a cave, your party murdered and raped, you're about to die and some weirdo saves you, and for some fucking reason instead of giving up on going into the world and killing monsters, you tag along with this psycho into even worse goblin dens.
you work at a guild, you send bright eyed rookies to be raped and murdered because heroes are too busy slaying dragons to deal with rapey niglets plaguing the wheat fields and abducting local aryan waifus, then a guy comes along and dedicates his life to stop this
you come back from a trip to find the village men and boys butchered corpses in the dirt and learn the girls and women have been abducted to be rape slaves, and years later you find out the boy next door was actually alive and has been on a warpath against the monsters who destroyed his and your world
> - boring side guy allies
they aren't deep because they're not to be entirely sympathized with.
these characters seem like a critique against your usual fantasy hero team, chasing treasure, fun adventures, slaying the demon king in another land instead of the monsters wreaking havoc on innocents next door.
nothing quite says "welcome to dark fantasy" like showing a feisty little elf girl who likes adventures a room full of goblin shit complete with a mindbroken elf girl shackled to the wall

>Goblin Slayer is not all about cute girls getting gang raped by goblins,
>It doesn't need rape that much
we know stories where heroes save princesses from dragons
the danger to the princess is always implied, but hardly ever do you see princesses scorched and maimed in these stories.
and what becomes of a hero when he witnesses this?
that's what goblin slayer is.
