Weird as in moronic :p. But you said that the eldest sibling could have been chosen, I disagree here because if that was the case it would have been chosen since the beginning but it wasn't since the condition was the most precious and not one of the children.

For your argument that they didn't sell their child, I disagree, in your examples there is 2 different thing, the first is that you talk about a child send to the church to be a priest, here they do it for them to learn a trade, and it doesn't mean that they have full control. Makoto's situation is different also becayse they gave full control of Makoto to the Bug and it isn't for his sake, like learning or gaining something, it is for their own sake, to run away from the consequences of their choice. So yeah it is more a give and take rather than trying to offer a possibility to their child. So whether they knew or not how he would be treated doesn't matter.

I don't disagree in the fact that their perception is different, but slavery is slavery and like I said in the end it was for their sake not for anyone else.

Weird ? Yeah maybe. But it also talks about bad parenting, the fact that they aren't even a little worried about his situation when they have launched him in a unknown situation.

But like I said, all of this impressions also comes from the fact that this part of the backstory (which is rather important in the end since it's what launch the story) lacks in development. So yeah maybe they aren't the morons that they seems in this chapter. But the way the author wrote it make it seems like it.
