Venat's motives were largely ideological and thus not nearly concise, and her methods similarly resulted in immense suffering for the people of Etheriys, but were painted as a necessary evil. The disagreements arise largely from the thought that she could've potentially avoided the original Final Days, the Sundering, basically every bad thing that's happened throughout the history of Etheriys through better use of the foreknowledge she was given (Nevermind that the causal loop mandated that things had to have played out in a certain way), which is why I feel like she would've been more widely accepted had they not even left that window open by depriving her of said knowledge, either by avoiding the time travel entirely, or having her memories get wiped as well.

I don't dislike either of them, but I have a very hard time forming a solid opinion about the latter due to how badly the timey-wimey nonsense muddles everything.
Atleast Venat admits her plan had very bad things happen with it, where as Emet straight up never apologizes for what amounts to ethnic cleansing.
