Why Erenville succeeded as a character where others did not

[Cleretic]

The core difference is that all the Omicrons need to support their existence is the ambient dynamis in the area. They're not bothering anyone else to our awareness.

If they were actively draining the life from other parts of the universe, we would probably have put a stop to that, too.

I mean, that's a difference to the stakes of their existence, not the state of their personhood. That's what Oolong is saying; we accepted that the Omicrons are real people, and people are trying to equivocate personhood away from the Endless, despite them being for all intents and purposes the same.

I do think that there's an underlying connection between those two things, though: that people are only trying to unperson the Endless because we had to shut them down, and going 'it's okay they weren't really people' makes that act easier to swallow.
