If we go by my scenario, there's no reason why the Hotgo couldn't be perfectly pleasant to everyone not a Dotharl, and their shady dealings with the Dotharl might not be widely known. As for Mide and Dayan (and their kin? Don't remember that, but sure, let's go with it) being idealistic dreamers, it is highly unlikely that the entire tribe was so inclined. People are different from one another, after all. And even if they WERE all idealistic dreamers, there might be the acknowledgement that as long as the shadow of the Dotharl is over them, the dream cannot be realized.

Anyway, it's just a theory, and one I came up with myself. There's no support for it in-game, aside from the overall oddity that the Dotharl don't seem to be as vicious as they're supposed to be - EXCEPT when it came to the Hotgo.

Who's doing any stooping? All they needed to do is pass on the knowledge. It would be up to future generations to decide what to do with it. I very much doubt that Mide or Dayan would encourage any sort of cold-blooded genocidal policy against the Dotharl - but their childrens' childrens' children? Who's to say?
