an this pig analysis becomes even more evident when you realize semi-human beasts make up the majority of the human population.
unlike the more "civil" hylics, these feral animals eat and bathe in shit. its quite astonishing, they're like a crude mockery of humans, yet seem so similar to us.
but what is more astonishing is the blind acceptance the masses have towards them, as if most people exist only to comply, to be used as tools. i guess in a way they are tools, or at least want to be used as such.
so why feel sympathy towards your fellow man? when he would side with evil if it means retaining the convenience of his consumerist life?
i believe disgust is a natural reaction towards another, likewise knowing one's own sins is at least a step above being oblivious towards one's shadow. a trait that many if not all a hylic lack, so to talk to another is like talking to a sinner, an animal, a debauchee that wallows in filth like a pig.
i think i hold more respect for maggots than people. because at least maggots are a cog in the natural cycle of nature.
