Come on, who wants to be a human who turns into a wolf when you can be a wolf who turns into a nine-foot-tall werewolf? Being a homid is just being a wannabe: a human who wants to be a wolf. Well being a lupus is totally different: it's being the Big, Bad Wolf who turns into the Bigger, Badder Werewolf and kicks ass. And they ain't gonna be pansies and whine and cry about saving humans from the Wyrm's corruption. They've got a better plan: if you kill all corrupted humans, you kill the corruption. Fight now, let the Children of Gaia cry about it and justify it later. Boo ya!
But the Red Talons aren't just running around killing everything. They're arguably the most hard-core werewolves out there, and they're all about upholding the traditions and being REAL Garou. If you can't handle the Litany and observing the Rites, then you can't just go about changing them and watering them down. In the Red Talons' opinion, if you can't handle what being a Garous is all about, then you're not a real Garou anyway. Plus, they're not gonna waste time with pansies like the Glass Walkers: c'mon, they consort with Weaver spirits, for cryin' out loud.
When you think Werewolf, what do you think? If you're a jerk or a fruit, you think of some dude putting on a fake suit and makeup and running around like an idiot. If you're cool you think of a huge wolf-looking thing standing on two legs and tearing the crap out of something, usually involving flying giblets and buckets of gore. Well if you're cool, the Red Talons are what you've always wanted. If you're a jerk or a fruit play something stupid like a Glass Walker. No wait, don't play Werewolf at all! Go play D&D instead.
