The main character in Ender’s Game exterminates a race of aliens called “buggers” who presented an existential threat to humanity. The primary dictionary definition of “buggers” happens “sodomites” (Merriam-Webster).
[/quote]The problem with that theory is that the title character is overcome with horror and remorse when he learns he was tricked into killing off the buggers. He also learns that they, in turn, had realized they were wrong in attacking humanity and had hoped to come to a peaceful resolution before being hunted to extinction.
