Do you agree with the protagonists

Silly question. The protagonists are totally justified in how they feel, based on what we've seen. I don't know how you deny that unless you're reading with your eyes closed or you're preempting a plot twist. Until we get more information that contradicts chapter 1, the protagonists are right to feel the way they do.

It feels like people refuse to admit it because they are worried about what the author's angle is regarding the real world. But listen, theres the real world, and then theres the fictional story with the aliens. Regardless of what the aliens represent in the eyes of the author, right now their portrayal is worthy of contempt until we get more material.

As the title says. Regardless of what messages you think the story is about, do you agree with their actions, are they justifiable?

..Okay..lets say we set aside real world politics. The dude literally beat a guy to death because he bumped into him??😭 And then they decided to eat his corpse.. Seems like a concerning lack of empathy from the characters lol. Im sure the aliens probavly have an agenda or something but at the moment their motives are just “idk man..something about them”

Their FEELINGS are entirely justified. Their ACTIONS, however, are obviously not and I will get to that later.

The criticism itself was quite precise in many ways. It really got me when she pointed how “they aren’t allowed to say this in public” and that “it fells wrong to think this way”.

It hits the nail on the head when it comes to how the government is censoring and brainwashing society into accepting their diversity agenda, to the critical point where you fell bad for disagreeing with it. You start to FEAR thinking different because you know there will be harsh consequences if the elites find out.

They showed how diversity hiring can fuck with the average joe. They showed how exclusive spaces can fuck with the average joe. They showed how legal privileges can fuck with the majority. They showed how minorities can get away with anything under the godamn sun in order to protect some sort of stupid righteous agenda that borders on being an actual cult.

I thinks this kind of message is good once in a while. Media has been too one sided with messages about diversity, so showing the “other side” is healthy for a change.

THAT SAID-

The way the protagonists reacted was obviously comically out of line and one needs to be an enormous Redditor dumbass to not realise as much. I doubt the autor even wanted this to be a doubt.

Sure, “they are taking our jobs” and all, but that’s no reason to fucking murder and eat them lmao. The protagonist literally calls herself miserable as the punchline of the chapter.

Yeah, the message is that it’s good to vent your misery and intrusive thoughts at times. Bottling it up will only lead to an even worse life. It’s a critical against a society that doesn’t allow us to disagree with it.

That said, she and her soon-to-be boyfriend sure were “Drama Queens” for actively creating conspiracy theories and deciding to murderer and eating aliens under the excuse of them “not being people”.

Almost everyone genuinely disagrees with them and it doesn’t seem to be out of fear. Society as a whole seems fine.

They are psychos. Their expressions are psychotic. They call themselves miserable.

Their cause is just. Their methods are evil.

And that’s why the chapter was interesting. I hope it doesn’t get axed, since it tackles real social issues from an actual interesting perspective for once.

Interesting. You make a good case for the Right social commentary angle when I was starting to think that it was leaning more Left. Because, apart from the emphasis on censorship, the case for a left pov seemed stronger to me at least.
