[Oof, yeah. That's about as heavy-handed as it gets. All over again Ford feels incredibly lucky that Weirdmageddon was contained to just Gravity Falls, a town already very good at recovering after disaster.

Remarkably compassionate of you. I have often found that most humans when faced with extra-human intelligent life tend to devalue and dehumanize it as fast as possible. Consider the fact that before the existence of alien life was even confirmed, the vast majority of human media concerning them was focused on how unlike us -- and therefore less moral, less civilized, and less deserving of life -- they were.
