From our most morally upright characters to our least, everyone is okay with genocide as long as it doesn’t affect them or what they care for.

Elena, Bonnie, Tyler, Matt, Vincent, Marcel (kinda) Davina, and hell even Josh. Each were ready to kill a Mikaelson or be fine with their death as long as it didn’t affect them. I mean, our least morally right characters are extremely selfish anyway, but our best were okay with the prospect of genocide.

I’m not saying they need to care for the Mikaelsons, definitely not, but still, good vampires like Josh, Stefan, Camille, and Tyler would have been on all sides, yet that didn’t matter when prospect of killing an original came up? Sure Vincent doesn’t like vampires but being fine with the genocide of Elijah’s line is kinda…wow.

Edit: genocide doesn’t seem like the right word here as they mostly didn’t go after the Mikaelsons with intention to cause genocide, but it’s still callous as hell.
