I've brought this up before, but Venat's actions are difficult to quantify as 'genocide', in large part because it's a philosophical question if the Sundering counts as 'killing'. But since she was going up against an act that was also similarly shady, it's not really right to cast shade over her and not the Convocation.

And as I mathed out last night... evidence suggests that the Ascians didn't take 'thousands of years' to get to genocide, because going with the math that it takes one thousand to one and a half thousand years to commit a Calamity under normal circumstances (the brief time to the planned eighth being a known outlier), and that there was a failed attempt before the successful first Calamity, actually suggests that the amount of time they took before going for the genocide plan wasn't 'thousands of years', but somewhere between 'hundreds of years' and 'literal minutes'.
