Empathy is the most important part of a person. those people either never had it, or chosen to get rid of it. the reason they look like souless gohuls is because in some very significant aspects, they are.
I don’t doubt they hold ghoulish views, but it has nothing to do with their appearance. They look like older women fetishizing a revolting idol while subscribed to white supremacist ideals about youth and beauty. Describing them as “things” is dehumanizing in a similar way as they would likely dehumanize us. The more ideologically revolting members of our species are still people.

true, but even if I was heterosexual, I’d rather go with homies than whatever those things are

People. They’re people. Objectionable people with grotesque views, but people nonetheless.

No they’re not. People have empathy. They care for others. They care for other people.
These are ghouls. They don’t care for anyone but themselves and money. They aren’t people. They’re a waste of oxygen.
