Why do we hate the thargoids?

Can anyone give me a good enough reason we are hostile towards the thargoids? I've been searching through all the core and history of human/ thargoid interactions and so far I cannot or have not (yet) found a credible reason other than they are freaky looking and we kill things we are afraid of. Apart from what they did to the gnosis, and a few attacks beforehand, but from my understanding, they are basically (or seem to be) retaliatory attacks, or now, preemptive attacks. From what I understand they are attacking us because we threw the first punch? I had my first thargoid encounter last week and it really wasn't a violent encounter, until I attacked it first. But before that, it basically all but ignored me. Aside from disabling my scanner and hardpoints, I didn't feel threatened by it's presence, quite the opposite actually, I felt as if it felt threatened by me, hence the disabling of my ship mods. So I guess my question is this: are we the bad guys? Or is there another part to the story in missing? Is there a legit reason we are hostile towards them? If they went around killing innocent humans for a "devil may care" reason then I can completely understand.

But is that really a legitimate reason? They didn't claim to be gods after all... That's human cult leaders fault. That's like saying you want to kill an entire group of people simply because they believe the sky is purple and you believe it's blue. 😁

We hate them because they are different.
When something is different it must be killed, maimed, abused, enslaved or exploited.
That is the human way.

Thargoids are a constant reminder that Fdevs have invested resources on combat for 4 years while leaving exploration, trading, and any kind of interaction with the universe as barebones as it can possibly be.

The lore itself says they're the aggressors - first with the Guardians, millions of years ago - and now (and previously) with us. We cannot communicate with them and they are, and have been, the instigators of war.

Because in the original 1984 version they were always aggressive and the only way to survive an encounter was Galactic Jump away or kill them first. I lost count of the number of times I was left stranded with not enough fuel to make a jump afterwards (save for Gal Jump).
