Okay, just to make myself clear as well:

First of all, of course Mamonos have the right to defend themselves and if attackers really give them no choice, then so be it. Just because they are mostly peaceful, doesn't mean that they have to put up with agression themselves. That is the natural behavior of ANYTHING that lives.

Second, when I said that, I was fresh out of a fan-fic that involved a Jurogumo that rubbed me the wrong way. Said Jurogumo really enjoyed being exceedingly brutal towards a guy and actualy injuring him, despite his wounds always healing afterwards. And his mind kinda got 'broken' in the proccess. Now correct me if I'm wrong but I was always under the impression that Mamonos always considers her mate's mental state, and thus taking it down a notch if it bothers her mate (yes, even the 'ruthless' ones like Manticores and Dark Elves; they have to take it easy once in a while).

And third: Yes, I'm aware that Orderites hurting and even killing Mamonos are a thing. They are canon and not against the rules, thus (kinda) okay to explore. It's just that maybe we're not meant to explore that too much. Besides, I always believed that the level of violence in MGE more or less matched One Piece or Naruto (and nowhere near fucking Berserk or shit). It's also something that I'm personaly not too keen to delve into (unless I really have to). Just my own bias on that.

I hope I explained my reasoning as best as I could. Any questions ?
