^ Oh, I totally agree. I am sure there is a more peaceful solution to the problem than eradicating all ghouls of this world. I mean,that's where the story is leading to right now. There propably will be a solution that makes it either possible for humans and ghouls to live together without killing each other or one that makes ghouls disappear by turning them to humans. Scientifically with all the new knowledge about ghouls and ghoulification that sound's like it could be doable. After the whole ghouls and humans working together to fight the greater evil theme that's at least what I am expecting of the story, assuming it's close to it's conclusion.

What I was talking about was mainly regarding the past. The starting situation so to say, when we still had the classic CCG vs all ghouls scenario, without all the hybrids and Furuta taking control. Back then there was a stronger focus on how cruel the CCG was towards peaceful ghouls which resulted in some fans seeing them as the villains of this story.

I know it's hard to find something comparable to ghouls in our world, I struggle with that as well. Because calling them animals or diseases doesn't do their similarities to humans justice while comparing them to murderers doesn't factor in the reason to kill humans that lies in their nature.

Killing ghouls is the easiest and most effective method to create safety for sure but that makes it sound like humans are just lazy and greedy for profit which I don't think is the reason why the CCG was using this rather extreme measure. Because even if there is a more peaceful solution, this solution is gonna take time. We hardly knew anything about ghouls when the story began and it took many years until humanity reached the point of understanding the ghoul body and being able to succesfully create hybrids. And even at this point nobody presented a final solution that allows ghouls and humans coexisting peacefully yet. It would propably take even more time, to make such an idea become reality.

Meanwhile the CCG was constantly at war with different groups of extremist ghouls who did not only kill for food but also in order to enslave humanity. With a high number of people getting killed on a daily basis you can't just keem them busy until a peaceful solution is possible. To reduce the number of human deaths you have to act immediately and effectively. If you want to keep your family, friends and collegues safe you can't afford such patience.

In my opinion we just recently reached the point where a peaceful solution became an option. With extremist groups ceasing to exist and the remaining ghouls being united in a moderate group the CCG doesn't have that much of a reason to take the most extreme actions either.

I don't really want to make assumptions regarding how dangerous ghouls are on a worldwide basis. We just have too little information about what happens outside of Tokyo. The reason I classified them as such a threat isn't because of their high numbers but because of how dangerous a single individual can be. That way, even if ghouls aren't a worldwide problem threatening the survival of humanity they are still an enormeous threat for those humans who are living next to them and when talking about human lifes, a human organisation created to ensure human safety can't just turn a blind eye.

It's not like I don't find morals important or that I wouldn't prefer a peaceful solution. It's the villainous character of the CCG that I am disagreeing with. But I think our opinions are similar in that matter.
