@Polychrome @mikemccaffrey If the Gorn are indeed obligate carnivores, then we cannot fault them for it. The critique applies to humans as omnivores with the ability to choose.
In this, it is evil because we are moral agents who have chosen evil. If the Gorn lack this choice, we would not understand them as choosing and they are therefore blameless.
All that said, I was not clear that the Gorn are obligate carnivores. Is that so?
