That is irrelevant to the Elites holding the front line with their own blood rather than using another race. They could easily go in with the Unggoy.
And they do, all the -blam!-ing time, and whenever you don't find Elites on the front lines with the other lesser ranked species, it's the Brutes in command. Have you even played the games, dumbass?
Sangheili population is 8.135 billion.
Grunt population is 320 million.
It is not a case of Grunts being the most populous. So it seems quite inverse the way they number themselves with respect to each other.
Also, calm the fuck down, seriously. You are always getting adversarial with people in discussions. It is such a big deal!!! Anyway, it seems mostly as though people can see no wrong in them. They have good aspects but they also have an unpredictable tendency for pettiness and to act very poorly. That was the whole point of this thread really, but all it shows me is that people mostly think of them as being ... infallible.
Another example of this selective thinking is people quoting all the instances were Elites refer to Humans in derogatory terms, yet always omit the ones that refer to it in a more positive light.
On the contrary, I very, very seldom get riled up in discussions on here. Maybe you have mistaken my stressing of points, which I do quite frequently for getting worked up, I usually make it look like THIS, but the majority of the time I am completely calm when I post it like that, it is merely for emphasis.
My problem with the people arguing against the Elites is they seem to view the Elites as villains who have no positive qualities or likable attributes at all, and that is simply not true. The Elites are meant to be viewed in a positive light, they're the co-Heroes of the story with the UNSC, both sides have their flaws, but that does not take away their status as hero, it makes things more believable.
I think people have been going on the offensive against your points because you came on a little too strong, you made your posts sound like you hate the Elites and that we should not have any respect for them, I can't say whether this is true or not, merely what I have observed.
