If you are asking what I think you are asking then "harmful adaptation" might be a good way of putting it.
Yes, you humans are like that sometimes and I have seen how what you are suggesting can help humans.
Indeed I agree that they can, I do not believe in inherent evil either, in you humans or other species.
Autism is so cool, I too am autistic, in my species it is considered pretty normal to think and behave in such a way though. Yes, indeed, it is difficult sometimes, but it is helpful to learn what words harm and what do not so we do not do harm with them, I have found think of them like that rather than evocative words like 'banned' is more useful.
[Curious] What do you mean by "feeding the demons"?
