It's interesting to note that Hydaelyn consistently refers to the sundered as children. People view it in terms of endearment, but it's more likely her view was similar to that of Emet's.

And no, our soul being preserved doesn't mean we would survive, as we've been over numerous times discussing Venat's genocide. Obviously what Venat did was evil but like... at the end of the day I'm gonna try to keep living my life. Sucks for you man but I can't control what happened in the past, now quit destroying our world or I'll kill you.
Given the constant defense of the sundering and glorification of Venat I see no reason why I shouldn't embrace being a rejoiner. According to the writers, genocide is fine as long as it's for a 'good' reason so at this point it's just a matter of picking your team. You can choose not to root for anyone, of course, but if Venat fans get to celebrate their Genocide Queen without shame then I'm going to do the same with the Ascians.

Having said that, I would have worked tirelessly to find an alternate way to do it, but I'm not one who would've accepted the violation the sundering was because 'what's done is done' .

Also, whether or not someone would consent to being rejoined is subjective. I've often thought the Ascians probably could have developed a following similar to WoW's Cult of the Damned where the living assisted the Lich King in the hopes of being rewarded with undeath. It's not something that would bother me, personally.
