Yeah and of course antisemitic tropes can end up being used similarly (i.e. a negatively-portrayed fantasy/SF race just happens to align with a bunch of them), but I think as a result of education about Nazi Germany, their propaganda, and the Holocaust, there's a lot more awareness in US society (and perhaps Western society in general) as to what antisemitic tropes look like as compared to ones that typically target other ethnic groups.
If this is not a 1E commision. You have cheesecake in the second pic. And every one is white.Here are two quick examples that illustrate my comment above. Two pieces I recently had commissioned. Both were diverse artists I had hired. One is an artist of Mesoamerican heritage, doing a piece inspired from their culture. The other is from an African American, but his dress is wholly European. I should have caught that and did better.
and they usually get praised for doing that as well!
Eh that's more of a reflection of light on the monsters in the first pic though.
It's not a question of believing in a monotheistic deity. It's about living in a pantheist society where the gods have different portfolios they control. You're generally not going to worship just one - you're going to participate in the other festivals, feast days, holy days of the others too because other parts of your society are governed by those other gods.
