Genocide? When did Vriska do that?
When she and Eridan killed all those trolls to feed her lusis and Gl'bgolyb. The exact number is unknown, but just look at the things. No way you're feeding them without commiting genocide.

I love this artist, thank you SkepticArcher.

Also, I have a whole new batch of Homestuck images I want to upload to my photobucket account for your viewing pleasure, but I have an eye doctors appointment real soon so that'll have to wait about an hour.

That's not genocide, that's mass murder.

It would be genocide if they were exclusively targeting land dwwellers to exterminate them, but those were not their exclusive targets nor their purpose.

The two terms are not perfectly interchangeable.

And besides, you know what Terezi didn't do that Vriska did? Oh, only genocide and torture. Terezi isn't really evil in my opinion, and really isn't evil when put next to Vriska.

While we're at it, I don't recall Vriska torturing anybody either. Let's be clear about the exact nature of Vriska's moral wrongdoing.

Alright, fine, mass murder.

I would consider her actions against Tavros to be torture, emotionally if not physically.

@Jim: Exactly, as you can tell from the Lusii corpses, their victims covered the whole range of the haemospectrum.

It would be genocide if they were targeting a specific caste or blood color.

 I'll agree that Vriska is a bitch enough for what she did, and we don't need to overextend what she did to justify her title. She needs no help, she can handle this on her own.

 Also, I have a new voice to associate with Spades Slick.

Technically, Vriska was trying to commit genocide.  She was helping Eridan build that doomsday device.

Also, maybe this has been discussed before, but how much do you want to bet Vriska's causing John to drop the ring is directly related to the scratch?

I do not know that song, or the voice associated with it. I assume it's another disney song, though?

Only one of the best villain songs of the whole genre.  Goosestepping and everything.

It's from Hamlet with Lions The Lion King.

Damn, ninja'd with the link.

 The MSPA forums general fanart thread, like page 15 or so. I gotta head off but it's somewhere from like a week ago.

Psychotic, apologize-to-me-for-being-crippled-by-me flirting, yes. Vriska could turn all Atoner right now and I would never feel an inch of sympathy for her character. I find more sympathetic motivation in freaking Equius.
