Not even bait at this point. I'm assuming you're an 2011 anime only, because only those tards have these sort of brainworms. You're brain is so poisoned by twitter agendas, that you can't appreciate a good story (by animanga standards anyway).
Nen rules are clearly established and within those boundaries they get reasonable additions and deeper mechanics, like Nen Beasts or Nen Curses.
>we got people pulling stuff like phasing through objectsSeperating your Nen from your body and creating a Nen space with rules has been clearly established as a main strength of emitters since greed island which result in something akin to small-medium range teleportation. Knov and Leorio are emitters and they designed their hatsu around this mechanic
>turning into vehicles of all thingsClever application of a conjurer ability. Not every conjurer is a badass with chains like Kurapika.
>Then there’s the moronic decision to make the chimera ants sympathetic by giving them arbitrary arcs when the dudes were trying to kill five million people for no reasonChimera ants are sympathetic because they inherit the traits of the species they consume, eg. eating humans backfired in the end, which is something Meruem acknowledges in his fight against Netero (saying the human ego disrupts the collective bond between ants). Sure they have no reason to kill people, but humans don't have a reason either. One of the points of the arc is to highlight the aribtrary nature of these conflicts. Chimera Ants are strong enough to kill an unarmed human, so they do that to increase the strength of their colony. An average ant with no intelligence doesn't need more reason. The problems start the more intelligent they get when they start eating humans. That I need to explain this to you on a supposedly leftist board is indicative of state of this shithole.
>I guess the audience was supposed to accept that the ants were partially humanYou sound really dumb, no offence. They were partially human, that is just fact. You can choose, wether you want to feel sorry for them or not in the end. That ain't the point of the arc. Netero represented humanity at its best and worst and showed all the meathead shonentards that love to powerscale, that it means nothing when you can nuke somebody to oblivion. Chimera Ants may be the most powerful
