Viltrumites must not care about anyone; A loveless apathetic culture.

[u/Cletus1085 → u/Stark556]

They care about themselves. They care about their culture and their empire.

Ask a person to care about a pig bred for meat the same way they care about another person. They'll probably look at you like you're crazy. That is, in essence, how Viltrumites feel about anyone that isn't them.

[u/Spawnkillthekiller8 → u/Cletus1085]

Nowadays I wouldn't be so sure about that pig analogy, in fact many probably would care more about the pig than any humans.

[u/John_Helmsword → u/Spawnkillthekiller8]

There is no analogy that would work.

Seeing as viltrumites and humans are psychologically, anatomically and biologically the same.

And… well. There are no other known human level species that we know of on earth. The whole analogy doesn’t work.
