I only said that where it all started is when the Vortigaunts did the most damage at that time of the incident as that's the point of origin of the Resonance Cascade. By the time portal storms were raging throughout on the planet, assuming the Vortigaunts were freed by then, they were most likely trying to survive/get into hiding and still don't even pose a threat to humanity if they wanted to.

If anything people are more afraid of is the other Xenian life and infestation (and then eventually the Combine). Without a doubt, they (not the Vortigaunts) did most of the damage and killings. And as I stated before, it's not only just time and their low kill count of humanity that contributes to why humans are friendly with vortigaunts. Both are going through the same shit, both share the same enemy, both share the same goal. Them being aliens doesn't matter anymore. Because of this they work together and even formed friendships over the years. Not just a few years, or one decade but nearly two. And considering after all those years, humanity is bound to learn at some point that the vortigaunts killings were not of their own free will. Eli, who has experienced the horrors of where it all started, is friends with them.

doesnt matter whether vorts were freed or not as they will have still been seen as a threat, the humans that are 'friendly' with vortigaunts in the games are rebels, NOT civilians, no where does it indicate that large amounts of rebels are friends with the vortigaunts, it also does not indicate that a large amount of loyalists are friends with vortigaunts or even civilians, Eli is 'friends' with them because he has had time to understand and he needs them as who wouldnt be 'friends' with them when they can create near infinite energy and heal people. Just because one man has faced horrors beyond all comprehension, doesnt mean everyone else should feel the same. Thats like saying everyone should forgive mentally ill murders for murders that they may have committed against someone that the person felt something quite considerable towards, they are human and that doesnt even happen often.

Your argument rests on the applicability in regards to crimes not being excusable due to circumstance yet you excuse humans from the double standards?

(Not to mention the way you structure your arguments is abysmal, I can barely follow what you're saying. No hate, but for real.)

But point is, people here are saying that the choice should be up to the people playing the characters.

Also, would be neat if you didn't make up lore. Just cause its not implied, doesnt mean it doesnt exist.

Im not saying that people dont have a choice but what I am saying is that people should think what they believe and yes I can understand the structuring I have been struggling to sleep lately so I have been pretty tired all round
 
My Vortigaunt character gets labelled a frog with the threat of getting a bullet to the brain by some CPs. That and the rebels kept taking pot shots at him. Seems pretty standard to me, thus far.
