I realize that's probably a made-up word, but whatever.
Was talking via PM with toxicdolls, and the subject got me thinking. I may have the special features of MI, yet I don't recall any official word on how monsters grew to view humans as toxic, among other things: only how their appearances changed and their grown motivation to scare them.
Thoughts about this, anyone?
Personally, if a third movie arises, I have a small suspicion that the villain, if any, would be a human. So far in the series we as the audience have seen them as, for the most part, fairly innocent, which would lead one to question why monsters were so scared of them in the first place.

Yeah, I definitely think Pixar/Disney will tackle that in the next film.

I hope in the third movie, if there is one, that they do discuss that. I would love to know why monsters feared humans,

Not to be THAT know -it-all, but the correct name for that kind of fear is Anthropophobia (I memorize fears for kicks X3) but anyway, I think it would be pretty hilarious if the first human that every came in contact with a monster was sick or had the small pox and that is what led everyone to believe that human children are deadly XDD I am kind of curious if monsters feel the same way about human adult though, I never heard anything about that. I mean, I don't think it's necessary for an adult to be poisonous for a monster to be afraid of it, but I still wonder if they view an adult's touch that same way they do a human child.

I heard a theory that the monsters were originally afraid of our diseases. They took this to mean that we were toxic and that's why the CDA was formed.
However, if they are afraid of our diseases, this means that humans still could be harmful for them to be around, and vice versa. After all, their kinds of flu virus could be very different from our kinds of flu virus.

I'm so glad there is a topic on this, I've been wondering it for a long time and oddly enough have never heard anyone mention it. It's interesting they never covered the whole "why do monsters think humans (or human kids) are toxic" thing. The only theory I ever came up with is kinda what KingLazarus and importantcake said: human diseases. Maybe a long time ago, when Monsters first started going into the human world for scream energy, one of them caught some kind of human disease (most likely from a child), and made the assumption that humans are dangerous. Said monster probably also died.
