It's a fantasy world. If I can accept the concept of magic I can also accept the concept of an entirely evil race. I really don't see the need to overthink it.

(Also, I guess im cringe then. I can live with that.)

Then the Frieren writer should make them objectively evil and not contradict themselves. I like it when writers put some thought into their genocides.

I think it's fundamentally not what the show is about and not every show has to tackle every moral problem there is. Sometimes you just need an interesting antagonists in a story and it would be boring if they were just mindless drones.

Don't overthink it.
