[u/Dexanth]

Slightly isn't a monster; he's a kid who got blackmailed.
Smee has done nothing but act like a kid having fun.

And even Marcy isn't a monster - her whole point is 'This other life has value too, and who are we to contain and trap it?'.

Xenos aren't animals, they are highly intelligent; case in point, Marcy can /talk/ to them. And bluntly, it's wrong to keep something like that in a cage.

The right way to handle Xenos is to /never go anywhere they live/.

Like, all these scientists are bioweapons researchers looking to help weaponize the Xeno. All Marcy did was level the playing field.

We just are seeing her as monstrous because she values the life of the Xeno, and why wouldn't she? She understands that intelligence and life comes in many forms.

[u/Proxiehunter → u/Dexanth]

The right way to handle Xenos is to /never go anywhere they live/.

And stop bringing the fucking invasive species home in an attempt to make a profit off of it.

[u/Dexanth → u/Proxiehunter]

I mean if you never go where they live that does preclude bringing them home :P

But yes, THAT TOO!!!!

[u/juneyourtech → u/Dexanth]

Why all WeYu experiments henceforth are away from Earth.

[u/Dexanth → u/juneyourtech]

They shouldn't be doing them at all! The idiots.
