By that standard, God wasn't committing mass murder when He flooded the world and wiped out its inhabitants. Which is an absurd take, IMO.

These are very different scenarios though.

For one, in this game, the canvas world poses a mortal threat to the paintresses. Its existence is actively harming Aline and Alicia and will lead to their deaths (or at least definitively to Alicia's). That's not to even get back into the discussion of the presupposition that the canvas world characters are in fact people of some intrinsic moral value.

Secondly, in the biblical narrative, while the people being destroyed are unambiguously people, they're also described as hopelessly corrupt and violent outside of Noah and his family which provides an obvious justification. You can call that genocide or murder, I guess, but would you really have a moral objection to erasing the canvas world if they were all bad guys?
