poll: is there any quantifiable difference between calling a character a gremlin and calling them a goblin

there is but now you've asked i can't really articulate what that difference is

for me I think goblin is broader and gremlin is specifically just Meme D.Va energy

this thing

I'd say a gremlin is more mischievous and a goblin is more feral

Gremlins are a toddler's energy and goblins are a toddler's filthiness

YES that's it

'gremlin' also feels more affectionate than 'goblin'

Yeah Gremlin is more shenanigans and Goblin is more "I'm messy and glorious" energy

To me not really but also a streamer I watch identifies as a goblin so it feels weird to use the term disparagingly

I have never once been disparaging when calling a character a goblin

I feel like I could call rl family members gremlins

(family members I like, to be clear)
