Mass murder?

And she didn't commit genocide, the souls were simply split. Proof of that aplenty in game.
She sundered every soul on Etheirys and split the planet into Hydaelyn and 12 other reflections as well as creating imperfect races so they are never this single perfect race again and probably turned all sundered Ancients into Garleans with no aptitude for magic. And condemned all life to perpetually suffer in a losing battle to attain perfection under the pretense to avert the final days or perfect civilizations desiring death and ruin.

Do your mental gymnastics if you want but it is still Genocide on a massive scale. Of which both Emet/Convocation and Emet are equally guilty of.

The diffference being Emet/Convo offered a choice and Venat pulled a "Mother knows best" and decides for everyone herself without any say in the matter.
