Fascinating to read reviews and reponses to Dawn that are like "That was soooo horrifying and disturbing and everything about that ship and the aliens was freaky" but what really made the more disturbing aspects work for me was that the ship, oankali society, their values, and the ways they do genuinely help people are naturally appealing to me. I think they could convince me into buying into (though not participating in, I'd be one of the guys who just spends the rest of their life hanging out on the ship) their plans for humanity. (Also by comparing them to sea slugs they sound sooo cute even when their ethics are fucked)
