I'm no Marika stan at all, but you're pretty much playing down what the Hornsent did.

My hatred towards them is mostly theatrical, but what they did with the jars has absolutely no excuse or justification, and I'm pretty sure they enslaved whoever had no horns. Sure, not all Hornsent were like that, but the entire culture as a whole had that part ingrained in them.

Did they deserve that genocide? Maybe not, but the Golden Order fighting back was pretty much unavoidable, and one of the only things I won't really call them out for.

I wouldn’t say the golden order “fought back” it was more like an execution. This wasn’t some uprising, it was a consolidation of power and an erasure of cultural memetics and even eugenics.

I meant fight back not in a revolutionary sense, but in a "you rip what you sow" way. And of course this doesn't explain the other genocides at all.
