=/ It seems it had become nearly a natural yukkuri attitude lately, the other day we had even role reversals with Marisas doing the same and ironically not being the ones bearing the kiddos.
Seriously WTF is wrong with this Manjuus and their typeist attitude from time to time, maybe Mister Humans should show them that it doesn't matter their type they all will die under the boot?
though maybe it's something in the line of a "retarded" take of the "no other male/female" in the herd like some animals do when they use alpha male or alpha female structure, only it's retarded this time because it's reduced to a family level and they ironically pick the "type" they prefer instead of killing the same type out of preveting "future conflicts", unless the alpha leader approves.
Well, JIE, herds normally have a Dosu so that's kind of like an Alpha Female/Male(seeing as Yukkuris are hermaphroditic).
But I do agree that having the mother Reimu killing all the children that aren't the same type as awfully stupid. Personally, I think it's a Deibu idea, you know? "Marisa can't take it easy so little Marisas can't either! Deibu can take it super easy so little ones that are Reimus will too!" Or something like that.
