This is the genocide part that the anti-Venat cabal loves to conveniently ignore. The simple fact is that a genocide was going to happen no matter what. The only question was whether the victims would be innocent beings created solely to be sacrificed, or the very people who were planning to commit that genocide.

Is it really "killed half the population" when they did it in their own volition?
This also becomes iffy ground depending on how much of the plan individuals and/or the general public knew. It hits different when someone is "sacrificing" themselves expecting it to be the end of their life, versus "sacrificing" themselves...fully expecting to be revived when the plan is complete.
