If you tried to venture that the Garleans deserved being wiped out and you were happy they were killed off because they were racist and you found them boring in the same way, you'd typically (and rightfully) be criticised, but something in the "Ancients different, therefore bad" perception seems to rile people up in a way that makes it somehow acceptable.
I stand by what I said. A society where individualism is shunned to the even concept you are not allowed to show your face or dress with different colors because it can provoke envy, while still treating every living being as disposable immaterial resource and desensitized of any possible emotions, living only in acceptance and conformisim is a very unsettling and horrifying society. Did I said at any moment they deserved to be wiped out? No. I just said that it was bizarre in not a good way. If it helps, the same degree of emotions I felt towards Ancients I also feel towards Alexandria. Solution 9 is a very unsettling place.
