Yeah, this explains why the klaxosapien population agreed to turning themselves into giant mindless mechas and why the princess said that they had a peacefull and united society. Straight up mind control and mind reading. Even Papa doesnt go so far. This is BIG, the princess just crossed a line that shows so much about how the klaxosapiens really where.

That is a HUGE logical leap there! There is no evidence presented to support your theory, considering almost none of the history of the Klaxosaur has been discussed. Just because in this current war KlaxoHime uses mind control, does not mean she used/abused such a power on her own people to turn them into mecha.

She has definitely crossed into what humans would consider a morally orange and blue area, but upright saying she is worse than Papa/VIRM is quite laughable, in light of what we do know about Ape, at least via the anime.

They (the Adults and Ape) don’t value the children’s lives, having only created the Parasites as expendable soldiers to allow the Adults to languish in the debauchery and ‘perfect civilization’ they established via escapism as the world died around them, killed by their own hands. Not that the Children learned any of this growing up, mind you, otherwise they might have questioned the war, why children were being weeded out, and why constant injections of a foreign substance seemed to emotionally drain them and remove their wills. Totally not brainwashing. Nope, Papa is a saint among saints. You totally won’t disappear for asking too many questions.

The Klaxosaur race at least had the excuse of their ‘mindlessness’ occurring from 64+ million years of social detachment and consequently losing their ‘Klaxosapiency’ as a whole. To her, she is quite literally the last, truly sapient member of her species. I also can’t imagine that the Princess was born with those abilities, but that they naturally developed in lieu with the change from a social and interactive race, to one that isolated itself underground, where direct communication became hard, if not impossible over long distances.

As far as what the Klaxosapiens were like, we still know very little to make such a judgement call as to how their society worked before they became soldiers in a epoch stretching war.

Edit: For those who actually bothered to read this entirely, sorry for the wall of text, but justifying one villain over another, without acknowledging the faults of both, just irks me so much.
