Defend what you want. People are going to have an emotional reaction.

"No should really scare you," is a flawed statement. You cannot tell people what they should and should not fear. That isn't how the mind works. Fear, or discomfort, or distate are not things that you turn on and off at a whim.

Me? I don't like the Sandworm. Never have, never will. I will always view it as a horrific monstrosity that wants to eat me. Doesn't matter what I logically know; the reaction is an emotional one.

A lot of people have a similar distaste for the Matango. It doesn't matter that they logically know that what KC says is hyperbole as opposed to what KC intends. What sticks is the fact that she's a mushroom, and her spores mind-rape you.

It just squicks a lot of people out. C'est la vie. That's just how it goes.

As long as people aren't spouting off about how they want to brutally murder, they're 100% allowed to feel that way. Neither I, nor you, nor Jekkers, nor Mauller, nor Flod, nor anyone else get to tell people they need to fix their thinking.
