Should they ever choose to cooperate, they would together create an [[YouCannotGraspTheTrueForm unimaginable nightmare]] of a [[BrownNote civilization]] built on the ideals of spontaneous [[ColdBloodedTorture torture]], [[AxCrazy murder, rape]], and other pointless [[KickTheDog puppy-punting]] activities that making the criminal look like the [[CompleteMonster asshole]] even if the [[AssholeVictim dog deserved it]].

** 7. If Lifedrinkers are evil because they kill sapients to survive, are humans just as bad for essentially doing the same thing by fighting them? In fact, are they [[HumansAreTheRealMonsters worse]]? While Lifedrinkers kill individuals, at least they're not [[GenocideDilemma debating genocide]], which is more than can be said for humans...


Added DiffLines:

** 7. Humans TakeAThirdOption and find a way to restore Lifedrinkers to their original form, or invent an artificial food source for them.

** 6. Much like misanthropy is common among humans, the demons take this to extremes. Many loathe themselves and others of their kind over their incapacity for virtue. They're often DrivenToSuicide, and some even go so far as to [[GenocideFromTheInside attempt the destruction of their own species]].
