Rain World Discourse Outta Nowhere:

It kind of annoys me when people just assume Artificer immediately went "I will obliterate every Scavenger alive" as soon as her pups were killed. I even saw someone say something about how Arti was bad for targeting all scavengers as revenge and not specifically the ones that did it. Like... if Artificer did exactly that and killed only the scavengers directly responsible for her pups' death, she would've made enemies of the whole tribe, and then after the inevitable result of more scavengers getting killed while attacking her they'd tell all their friends, and after a few cycles of back and forth escalation you'd end up with the exact same situation of Arti being on the 'Kill On Sight' list of every scavenger tribe in the general Five Pebbles Sphere Of Influence. There is no evidence that this is not how it happened in canon.

This is not "local scug wakes up and chooses genocide," it's "Highly aggressive and territorial animals' survival strategy of being more trigger happy than American cops bites them in the ass when they meet an animal with exactly the same attitude towards threats as them and the firepower to back it up."
