I'm sorry but just because sentibeings have the capacity to be human does not mean that all sentibeings are and should be treated as human and I'm failing to see who or what said anything even like that
*please correct me if i'm wrong in anything i say here:*
Sentibeings can be literally anything
They can be living beings like Sentibug, Sentibubler and Feast I think (and Felix)
But they can also be non living things like Reflektdoll, Guiltrip, Kuro Neko and Strike Back (although I'm not too sure about the last two)
Not every sentimonster is a human being
It's like comparing apples and oranges
You can't tell me that Sentibug and Guiltrip are the same thing and need to be treated the same way
(again, please feel free to correct me if i'm wrong)
Also I would like to add that when I say "sentibeings shouldn't be treated as human beings" I don't mean "sentibeings shouldn't be treated with kindness"
For example) Do you treat your dog like a human being? No of course not, you treat it as a dog and you still show love and kindness to it
We know that sentibeings can be nonliving -- Optigami was a hard drive, essentially. And even if something is living, that doesn't necessarily mean it has feelings or feels pain. It's maybe a hard thing to confront but not all life is created equal, and you're absolutely correct in that you wouldn't treat two completely different beings the same way simply on basis of them being alive. I call my dog a stinky girl and physically restrain her with a leash because she's a dog and that's an appropriate way to treat her given what she is.
She's still alive, and I'm not trying to deny that. But I don't treat her the way I'd treat a human.
Also, I'd like to point out that every single human sentibeing has been killed by either Mayura or Shadow Moth, no one else. Sentibug, Sentialec, Sentinino, Sentigabriel -- every one of them was killed by being snapped out of existence by the Peacock holder. The only people who have difficulties treating human sentis as human are the villains, who we're supposed to dislike.
