Humans have empathy, yet how many will still eat pigs or beef?
Now add on a complete lack of empathy to the mix and you basically have the demon race.

M: Demons are immensely powerful.
F: True.
M: They wield magic we simply do not.
F: True.
M: We reverse-engineer their techniques to even be comparable.
F: True.
M: They understand emotions and logic in order to decieve us.
F: True.
M: So as intelligent beings they are capable of being reasoned with.

I’m now imagining the animal equivalent of Frieren: a sleepy chicken walking the earth, absolutely erasing every human being it comes across.

That’s still humanizing the demons too much.
There’s at least human vegans / vegetarians.
There’s no equivalent to that for the demons. That’s the point 😅
And that’s despite chickens etc not being capable of human speech or looking human. The number would be much higher if they did.

She doesn’t call them mindless, she says they have only one goal. By all evidence she seems to be correct.

She’s calling for the complete extinction of an intelligent species. I understand the paradox of intolerance, but humans/elves have proven they can best Demons without having to resort to that, and yet it’s a path she’s more than happy to choose
Plus, there’s so much magic to learn from them, and all that knowledge will be snuffed out. It just feels a little excessive

You’re literally being a pastiche of the guy trying to say zombies are just people with a disease as one rips your throat out.
You might well be right, but until the cure is being deployed you need to shoot them in the head.

I do not understand how these points lead to the last one
A lot of animals have “magic” humans do not. There are a lot of examples where humans got inspired from nature, “reverse-engineering their techniques”. Cats and dogs are able to emotionally manipulate humans
This same line of logic could also be applied to like every villain ever. Pure evil villains exist, a fictional species in a mystical world is able to not have developed sympathy
The real evil is the murder of innocent dragons (another species described as intelligent) for like a spell that turns pink painted eggs into magenta painted eggs
