    Well they might easily see goblins yeah, that’s probably why they hide from them.

    But they’re sentient and hobbits are the friends. Like I’ve never thought about eating a dog despite me eating pig all the time, and the difference isn’t much more than between a goblin and a hobbit.

      Yes, if taking it seriously, then those are reasonable conclusions. However, I think you’re just overthinking it, in this context the scenario exists to service the joke rather than the other way around.
