I'd also note that nobody is under any obligation to approve of Venat's actions and the strange insistence that Venat is being 'attacked' for engaging in genocide is - quite frankly - bizarre to me. More so the deceptive attempt to pretend as if those of us criticising her have not consistently said 'let's agree to disagree'.
Not even Venat herself discounts that a lot of suffering in the world is due to her actions. Our problem with you and the others trying to criticize her is the notion that she committed genocide in a world where souls are recycled over and over. That's bizarre to the rest of us since those people also believe that had Venat said more, because she did tell people they would have somehow found a way around the fact that they can't even reach Metion to stop her, and can't fight her due to their own biology. You can not like what she did, but the world and the universe itself is alive because of what she did. The majority of the people on her world chose a slow death, hiding behind their newly created god. Should they decide the fact of everyone left in the universe or even their own world?
