How do you even start to develop an interest in sexualized goblins?
I'm not trying to yuck your yum, but genuinely curious.
Probably an outgrowth of my sexual interest in dwarves*? Malcolm Douglas's work is some of the very first hentai I ever saw. And when you search for shortstacks, you will inevitably find goblins.
(All links NSFW)
*But not IRL midgets; the proportions are all wrong.

As Eetan says, WoW popularized the specific shape of goblins as short green humans with a tendency toward capitalism and tinkering. There's a few other examples of hot goblins before then, but Blizzard very much standardized a form.
Some of it's just that spending enough time with an avatar in these sort of games makes it hard to avoid empathizing with that avatar, in some way. But while that worked out for the Draenai (and Charr and Asura from GW2, and whatever's hot in Overwatch), it's not like the WoW gnomes or dwarves took off, and even Tauren/whatever-the-fox-people are pretty marginal.
In terms of how and why that hits, it's similar to most other light forms of monsterfuckery, despite how much of an asterisk as it seems like 'monster' needs here. People like a characteristic. They know, and often don't like, the actual form of people who heavily focus around that characteristic. Doesn't matter what it is, doesn't matter whether that characteristic actually attracts bad things or if it's just a side effect from pulling around the tail edges of a bell curve.
That's most obvious with kink, and why a lot of monsters like dryders or the entire ouvre of Interspecies Reviewers. Exhibitionists aren't just people who like being seen naked, bondage tops don't just like tying people up (and subs don't just like getting tied up), every kink has a stereotype and that stereotype's usually not wrong. But it also applies to hobbies, habits, modes of social interaction, yada yada. People around them will respond in kind.
A monster can be normal, whatever they do.
Why would male MMO players want a normal (... if busty) woman who happens to be a nerd, rather than a nerd that happens to be a woman?
((Heavier forms of monsterfuckery tend to get into specific sensations or physical actions that aren't possible or safe with humans. Goblins have a little bit of that with the size difference, but afaict it's usually not a theme.))

Cute and sexy goblins, instead of disgusting green vermin? It starts with World of Warcraft.
Well that's exactly what I'm getting at - I've said before, only half jokingly, that I would fuck Judy Hopps.
The goblin race is just viscerally revolting. It's precisely that skin color/rat-adjacent society that boggles me a bit.
But it's cool to know the source is WoW. I still regret never getting into the game, though having one less thing to be horny about is something I should be grateful for I suppose.

Erotic authors and artists have been depicting """goblins""" as women who happen to be very short and have green skin for many years. It doesn't even count as a fetish at this point.
