Indirectly or directly?
Because she hardly counts as a killer even if you take the war (Which she didn't want to start and that was started by her abusers) since she would always poof and bubble gems.
Hell, her only "shattering" was a smokescreen meant to get the Diamonds to leave Earth alone and never come back
Prettiest Meta Knight Gijinka, ngl> (Which she didn't want to start and that was started by her abusers)
The war was started by Rose technically,her abusers ended it with the Diamond attack though
So I would way as Pink it's hard to say maybe its both,but as Rose she was directly responsible for being the catalyst that started the war
have a listen and have a link to my discord server
Still doesn't makes her 100% responsible for the gems getting shattered. She showed mercy even to her enemies. The Diamonds literally have no fucks even about their own troops and were the ones pulling the trigger.
That's deflecting fault at it's finest. Maybe Pink had a hand in starting the mess, but she didn't kill anyone nor intended to. Not even accidentally like Steven did.
Prettiest Meta Knight Gijinka, nglAnyway, Pink Diamond must have caused the deaths of thousands of humans by having Earth even partially colonized. Huge landmasses were torn up and sunk into the ocean, possibly faster than people could evacuate them.
In fact, there's a good chance Earth was the only Gem-colonized planet that had evolved intelligent life. In which case, Pink killed more non-Gem sapient beings than all the other Diamonds put together.

That's quite a Draco in Leather Pants treatment of the Diamonds here, especially considering that THEY were the ones, who sended her there and tried to force her to obliterate ALL organic life on Earth (this is IF humans actually are the only non Gem intellegent life in the universe).
It makes no sense to have a standing army if they've never encountered something worth fighting before. Yeah there's maintaining order, but there's too many fighting gems for that to be the only reason.

That's a Draco in Leather Pants treatment of Pink, considering she begged them to give her a colony and never gave a shit about Earth's ecosystem until she went down to see it first-hand.

I mean, that's not really evil if you look at her life. That was her doing what she was groomed and raised to do. The fact that she alone decided to stop her colonization because of her empathy is really something... Considering she was never even raised with empathy herself.
I'm saying Pink may have killed more of one category of people than the other Diamonds by complete coincidence, not any intention of either party. My point is that only considering the result of someone's actions, not their intent and what they could reasonable expect, is a bunch of morally-bankrupt horseshit.
With Earth as an example, there's probably a very narrow time frame in a planet's history of life where intelligent beings live entirely on that planet. So it's plausible that the vast majority of life-containing planets lack intelligent life at any given time.
All of which is still just a casual observation irrelevant to actually assessing any character because it's based on coincidence, not intent.
(That and non-intelligent life could be threatening on an individual level. An average Sapphire or a Pearl probably wouldn't want to fight something like a rhinoceros or a shark.)

Yeah... Sounds like waaay too much of an excuse to downplay the Diamonds' actions.
I'm still wondering why Homeworld would even build Navy Fleets if the very worst enemy they faced were non-sapient alien animals.

Prettiest Meta Knight Gijinka, nglFor what purpose would warrior gems even exist if nothing in the universe was any threat to them whatsoever?
My various fanfics.Well, this Friday is the end of the series, with Homeworld Bound-Everything's Fine-I Am My Monster-The Future airing all that day.
I wonder if any of them will get a 5. (The only 5's are: Mirror Gem, A Single Pale Rose, and Change Your Mind)

Speaking of other sapient aliens, if the show ends with a "Where Are They Now?" Epilogue, I've got my fingers crossed for Lars in that space bar from Pug Davis, but it's shown from the opposite angle, showing Padparascha was obscured by the countertop.

A lot in this show doesnt really has a convincing watsonian reason for why they are the way they are.
I guess its because the crewniverse doesnt really care about this kind of things and is far more focused on showing their character related stuff. I mean we never for example get explained why S Us earth looks different from ours. Being the result of gem colonization is just fan speculation.
Regarding the existence of warrior gems: Is nobody considering that gems are simply programmed to make them and never question if it even makes sense to do it?

Regardless, "It Could Have Been Great" didn't just how Homeworld terraforms planets, the current map had a gem site in the dead center of sea covering Siberia. It's barely "speculation" to call them responsible for that.
Officially there is none. A deleted post and a very vaque statement are not really what i would call an official statement. Its even really hard to come to your conclusion with this info.
Because first if its deleted its not only hard to find its might as well not count since it is supposed to be no longer available and second the context of that quote about gem influences make it more sound more about their influence on human culture and it was already critized as not being visible at all in the show.
Finally your statement about the glaxy warp doesnt really hold up because there is enough unclarity left to say it could be that the gems put it their because it was ideal place for it or it could be that its the only place besides the kindergardens to be more terraformed. In "it could have been great" the simulation actually never shows that the geographical differences are caused by gem colonization making your statement about it being barely a speculation too much of a reach.
This kind of logic is the reason why there are still viewers who think that pearl orignally belonged to WD.
My guess why it is different is that they wanted to visually stand out more and found it would be cool if it looks different. Wouldnt be the first time that they only focus on the doylist angle and treat the watsonian angle more like an afterthought.
