After the broadcast went out, the entire online community exploded with chatter. Some good, but most of it was bad.
This was a situation that had been brewing for months now. It started off with small incidents involving earthlings and now blew up with the announcement that a human from earth had been killing residents of Mei for the last two years.
That means that it all started as soon as they got here. And every single earthling suffered from because of it.
Those that had started their own businesses or were working somewhere else took a big hit.
People stopped visiting their shops and using their services. Instead, they would get hateful messages written on their doors and windows every day. Others were fired from their places of employment because who would want to hire a public enemy? That's just bad press.
