It seems like a lot of the argument is in favor of the first time it had supposedly occurred in the past. It seems rather short sighted to damn an entire race based on the actions of that one monster during that incident. We don't even know if the monster actually hurt anyone or if the human actually willingly gave the monster their soul and was absorbed because they didn't know such a thing could happen.

In my personal headcanon, the monster didn't necessarily kill the human but found them dying and had taken their soul so they could give it to their family. They made a mistake, and somehow the soul was absorbed which leads to them experimenting with their powers. Of course since they are not used to such increased power, they accidentally hurt/killed someone in the process and triggered paranoia about the whole issue which eventually lead to the war.

Like I said before, this is just one scenario about how this could have happened. There is no clear black-and-white, cut-and-dry explanation to this sort of thing, and as such we are left to our imaginations with various theories and speculations.
