What's the point with that quite lackluster story in Endwalker?

The time machine was from higher up help though lol. It was an ascian who helped awaken alexander and omega is an unsundered entity.We still do have outside influence, we still have the blessing. We still have the azem crystal. Hell, they relied on a giant primal for 12k+ years to defend them from Meteion.

Imo i think Emet does have a right to do that. These people are living at the expense of his own, and their lives only last a tiny minuscule fraction that the ancient lives last. It’s numbers. Again, statistically, leaving the sundered world as it is is causing more death in the long run than a one and done rejoining would. I’m not saying the sundered don’t technically have a right to defend themselves, but the ascians/ancients have that same right because it’s one group of people existing at the other’s expense.

Then you are justifying genocide. Congratulations, you played yourself. I'm done with you.

Genocide means you are mass killing something you can relate to. Emet sees the WoL and his kind as ants. Killing an ant colony isn't genocide. It's a jerk move at absolute worst and dealing with pests at best.

It's fiction. None of it is real. The characters are pixels on a screen.

The attempts to try and portray people as 'wrong' or 'bad' for favouring darker stories in a video game are little more than the same sort of puritan attempts to try and declare that video games should be banned because they inspire violence.

If you, yourself, feel that you'll go out and commit genocide because a character you support in a video game did the same thing then fair enough. Personally I have more faith in people to not assume that because they join the Dark Brotherhood in an Elder Scrolls game then that is equal to advocating support for paid assassinations.

Enjoying dark storylines is fine. Roleplaying a dark character is fine. Arguing that genocide is justified and actually meaning that, is not. Genocide is bad always. Anyone who thinks a genocide is justified ever is messed up.
