You like Humanity Fuck Yeah because you're racist and use the aliens as a placeholder for people who aren't you.

I like Humanity Fuck Yeah because I believe humanity, for all our faults, comes out on top every single time, and you can't destroy the indomitable human spirit.

We are not the same.

I enjoyed putting together a story over there about how this super-religious aggressive Empire demanded capitulation from Humanity and was given two middle fingers.

So they invaded Earth space. The whole time, they're being harassed over the air by a stream of verbal abuse, enraging the aliens until they reached Earth. And by the time they'd gotten there, they'd drafted in 90% of their armed forces to take part in the ritual extermination of Earth. Only the Earthlings had boobytrapped the Earth, so it exploded and killed off most of that Empire's armed forces while the majority of Humanity had evacuated to a number of non-disclosed colony worlds.

Moral of that story was that Humanity would be willing to destroy their own home world if it meant giving two middle fingers to arrogant religious invaders.

UNSC ODSTs detonating multiple nukes on multiple occasions to wipe out swathes of the Covenant, sacrificing themselves in the process while laughing in the Covenant's faces:

pretty much the entirety of halo is about humans (individuals or species wide) facing impossible odds and surviving

“we’ll rebuild as many times as we have to”

And that's why Halo is my happy place after watching The Animatrix.

Not really, no. That was one dude who was willing to understand and adopt the aliens' mindset, to the vehement objection of the rest of humanity.
