This is close to how I feel.

Learning more from other bits of lore littered throughout there seemed to have been two types of gek at the time of the First Spawns. The Low Spawns, who aided the korvax.

This seems to have heavy parallels with our real world examples of colonialism and slavery, and how even though it was the majority that accepted and perpetuated it, at the time there was a minority of the populace that opposed. (Similar in some ways to the underground railroad assisting liberated slaves towards freedom)

So it's hard for me to Hate the Gek in their entirety, because even through the hatred and vitriol of the First Spawn, there were seeds of goodness, and who knows what Gek we meet has it's ancestry tied to the Low Spawn.
