7. Why Did The Saviours Kill All The Men?

The Oceanside is a pretty different community to what we're used to. While they've suffered losses and had to make do as best they can, much like all the rest, what sets them apart is the fact there are no men. It's a community of women, because every male over the age of 10 was killed by the Saviours.

Why, exactly, did Negan's men do this? Although they are brutal, it's a different way of operating to what we're used to. They didn't take weapons, didn't attempt to break the leaders, nor take prisoners (as far as we know).

Is there more to this story than we know? Was it punishment for Oceanside (or whatever they were previously known as) fighting back? Or is it just 'because Negan'?
