Considering how much blood Priestess has to put on herself so goblins don't smell her, this is a far more sanitary option.

I don't think you really know what those two words implies. Hell, there's a high chance one can get pregnant by equipping that, given the circumstances of a goblin's daily life.
I once got a human monster slayer, as a visitor-turned-long-term-resident. Unfortunately he "likes goblins for their terrifying features." Ugh.
I've had a dorf noble have those insidious thoughts. It was partially why I set up the usual, ahem, unfortunate accident to befall upon him. 'course, dumb demands were the bigger reasons.
I'm not a monster though. Made sure he was well armed when I started dropping animals down the pit he got trapped in.
Why burn away the impurities? Use Goblin paint to show off your sociopathicrighteous willpower..
Because the impurities build up and help lag my forts to death, and atom smashing them is a pain in my ass. I can show off through engravings of goblins having unspeakable things done to them by dwarves and cave spiders.
