I found a post on here, I can't find the tags but it really upset me because the person was bashing Yautjas and their honor codes and I just want to add my opinion.
First of all what was said that Yautja's honor code is fucked because they killed women and child and they dehumanize their prey.
Humans dehumanize humans. Theories about social Darwinism and racism were invented by humans. Wars were started by humans on humans just because of pettiness. Humans kill women and children.
Yautja aren't dehumanizing humans because they don't even know what it means. They are hunters. Humans are their prey. They are just acting like their instincts wired them too.
Secondly it was said they 'nuked themselves because they lost'. Bro stfu.
Yautja did not nuke themselves because they lost. They bombed themselves to leave no trace of them or their weapons so humans can't find it and study it or them.
Thirdly they bashes the yautja about what they did in predator: killer of killers because the predatora took the three humans.
Dude, if you are a fan then you would know they take humans and xenomorphs to breed the perfect prey. Or for future hunts so they can grow stronger.
All I want to say is do your research before you bash the Yautjas.
I'm leaving what was noted about the yautja and some of it is their honor code.
Code Violations: Those who break the code are Bad Bloods, and are considered an insult to Yautja culture. They are to be destroyed when encountered.
Hunting Intelligent Species: According to War, there are strict rules concerning the hunting of intelligent species. Those who are not blooded cannot do this at all. However, some hunters want these laws overturned.
Hunting Worthy Game: When hunting, the hunter must be sure that their prey is considered game and lawful to kill. Worthy game must fill the following criteria:
The prey can defend itself and/or is able to kill the hunter themself.
The prey is of age (killing children and the elderly is considered highly dishonorable).
The prey is not linked to other lives (so that removing the prey will not doom another, e.g. pregnant women).
The prey is not weakened by diseases.
Equalize the odds: Killing prey when using less equipment is considered a greater prize, and hunters should typically give their prey a fighting chance for honor's sake. If the prey demands close-combat, the hunter is to fight to their prey's standards, and should minimize use of their Plasmacaster or other projectile weapons.
Failing in the Hunt: Should the hunter fail in one's quest, he should take their own life to retain their honor than to live in shame. However, some cowards prefer to live in obscurity rather than die. This is considered to be dishonorable and suicide is then "assisted" by an Enforcer.
Claiming the Kill of Another Hunter: To take the Trophy of another Yautja, living or dead, is considered to be a great insult. For example, two Un-Blooded go on their first Hunt: one Yautja takes on a Xenomorph, and both are mortally wounded. While the wounded hunter is dying, the other hunter conveniently finishes off the prey and claims the kill as their own, abandoning the wounded Yautja. This is a crime that can be paid for with abandonment, or death.
Murder of Another Yautja: To kill another Yautja intentionally holds severe consequences. This excludes self-defence and killing an opponent in a fight to settle a dispute. Murder is the worst crime.
Show Mercy: Those who were defeated in a fair hunt, or who are the victors in a deadlier hunt, should be considered equals and must be shown respect.
Never harm the innocent: Those who have done no harm should have no harm done to them. (It can be inferred that this rule must pertain only to harming other Yautja in their society since they hunt and kill members of many species one could call "innocent". It can also be inferred that Bad Blood Predators would ignore this rule either in part or in whole.)
Hunting for Food: When hunting for food, only the weak should be taken. This is to purify the species' line.[citation needed]
Wounded Game: When coming upon game wounded by another hunter, and the prey is dying without sport, show honor to another's kill. If the game still shows sport, it is to be a joint trophy.
Joining Another Hunt: Do not join another's Hunt, or Hunt in their territory, without their permission. All trophies taken in this manner are stolen trophies and shall be dealt with by the rightful owner.
When in a duel with an enemy, one must reveal oneself: In the novelization of Alien vs. Predator, Lex Woods was about to be killed by a cloaked Predator, but before it prepared to deliver the final blow, it deactivated its cloak. According to the book, it is "hunting ethic" to reveal oneself to the enemy at the climax of a fight. However, the movie ignored this part, and showed the still-cloaked Predator attempt to kill her.
Weapons of Warfare: Weapons of Warfare like the Blazer and Electroshock Missile Battery are strictly forbidden in hunts or even by use of non-Military Caste hunters. They are considered too destructive to constitute a hunting weapon.
Keep the Species Pure: The Yautja do not tolerate any genetic modification to their species. As such, Predaliens, Human-Yautja hybrids, and other abominations must be killed on sight, superseding any other hunt. This presumably includes Yautja Anathemas. When applicable, the creators of these abominations are also sentenced to death, preferably by Torture Ritual.
Leave No Trace: As evident throughout the franchise, lesser advanced species are forbidden from discovering or possessing Yautja technology.
A Yautja who knowingly or intentionally allows a lesser species to possess advanced Yautja technology is immediately sentenced to death.[16]
A Yautja who unintentionally allows a lesser species to possess Yautja technology is banished, provided he makes an attempt to recover/destroy the lost tech and submits himself honorably for punishment.
Should it become known that a lesser species possesses Yautja technology, the technology is to be immediately recovered or destroyed.
Humans in particular are especially forbidden from retaining Yautja technology; a human possessing Yautja technology is considered fair game, regardless of their status. This is due to their extreme danger when in possession of advanced technology.
