    You literally cannot do some genocide.

      The holocaust was a genocide, but there are still jews left in the world. Not for the lack of trying, but Hitler was stopped, so you can definitely do a partial genocide.

        Genocide is the attempted destruction of a group of people. If you only kill one person, but it was part of some supervillain plot to kill everyone, it’s still genocide, you just failed at it.

        Thus, it’s still a binary.

          Nah, you can aim to genocide a group of people but it’s just not viable so you genocide them just a little, like the forced sterilisation of minorities that’s happening in multiple places. That certainly qualifies as some little genocide.

      What if it’s an Undertale genocide run and you spare one of the bosses?

        I’ve never played Undertale, but as achievements tend to be binary, I’d say it’s the same process. You either check the box or you don’t.

        Open to correction if I’m wrong tho. No experience with that game.

        I mean I get the tweet is parodying conversation, I just think it’s doing it poorly.
