Listen, I'm not saying the Abidan are necessarily bad guys. I'm just saying that if you view them as a collection of adults constantly bringing children into existence only to let them die of sickness and disease by refusing to provide medical treatment. Then their stalwart protection of those children against monsters and other adults becomes less impressive.
Especially when they don't really think of the children as people unless they manage to grow to adulthood.
Or when they can see the future and know exactly when and how they are going to die and still do nothing.
Or how they immediately used the initial success from trialing having doctors treat the sick children to have a bunch more children.
Or how they got really freaked out when one of the doctors quit so they slapped heavy restrictions on the rest of the doctors to make them behave.
Or how they got outraged that one of the doctors euthanized a suffering child instead of letting them wither away through years of suffering before their eventual guaranteed painful death.
Or how they got shocked that one of the doctors started claiming that they were evil and needed to be destroyed and couldn't understand why.
Or how they imprisoned the last doctor without access to support for using an untested treatment on himself in order to save a child.
Or how when a man who wanted to be the very best protector he could be ended up being really good at killing instead, they forced him to execute sick children for thousands of years, all the while having more and more children. More than they could ever protect from monsters and other adults despite that being their original supposed purpose.
Anyway, I don't blame Ozriel, Vroshir, or even the Mad King for hating them. What they do after the fact, less so in many cases. But hating the Abidan as an organization? No, that feels pretty justified sometimes.
