Current Events > Frieza was right to kill the Saiyans

(+) Yeah! (+)

The only full blood saiyans we have seen are danger to everyone around them and the whole universe(s). They had no issues with over throwing whole worlds.

Okay Ye

Spoiler title

They committed their genocides at Frieza's behest. Also, it's not like the genocides stopped once Frieza committed genocide against the saiyans.

Saying the Saiyans were horrible does not mean that Frieza and his mutants were good.

it was a cultural thing rather than a genetic one, as we see Goku, Vegeta (after he's reformed), and their kids not trying to overthrow worlds.

like yea, their transformations make them a threat, but that's easy rectified by removing their tails.

I say all of that to say genocide is wrong, and no one, from what we've seen tried to steer the saiyans towards a more peaceful path.

It's like Pol Pot exterminating all but maybe half a dozen nazis.

idk man like .. the logic is that Freeza wanted them dead because he feared them ganging up on him as bigboi monkees, so to be logically consistent King Vegeta would also have to be on edge about the same; but nothing ever went wrong, so you could imagine that at least 50% of Saiyans were on board with the whole civilization murdering.

That doesn't mean Frieza was in the right to kill them all. Before Frieza showed up the only thing we know about them is that they were a relatively minor danger that only inflicted harm on a single planet's occupants. Once Frieza showed up he gave them the means and the ability to expand their opportunity to commit violence, all for his own personal benefit. If it weren't for him they'd just be yet another civilization confined to some backwater that would just hurt themselves until Beerus inevitably shows up demanding tribute or death. And it's not like Frieza killed them out of some sense of moral obligation to the wider universe, he did it cause he's an asshole and felt threatened by their growth - growth which only occurred because he kept on putting them in positions to grow.

Vegeta Risk the world over and over. Just because he felt Goku was stonger than he was. Killed innocent people because of that two. Willingly help the release Buu who killed everyone.

Goku risked everything that ever has been just to see if he could a better fight.

The only reason Trunks and Gohan are okay is because of their human sides.

Beerus had him do it. I hate that retcon, was much better when Frieza was genociding on his own accord.
