^ALL of the characters did terrible things at some point, so none of us can just pinpoint one of them.

But people associate Bellamy with a genocide because he massacred SLEEPING warriors for NO REASON. He 1) Saw firsthand how the Grounder's reacted with Finn's massacre, so he knew they would retaliate, 2) The Grounders weren't even a possvild threat while asleep, it's not a fair and honorable fight by any means, it's just cowardly because Pike's crew were too weak and scared to stand up to warriors who were awake and had a fighting chance, and 3) He told Octavia in the season finale that he let his revenge get the better of him, meaning he killed the Grounder army because he was angry about what Ice Nation did. Which doesn't make sense b/c Lexa already dealt with IN's disloyalty and Bellamy saw the guards drag the ambassador away (most likely to be executed). He killed Trikru Warriors, who weren't involved in the massacre.

Clarke, Monty, and Bellamy can't be blamed for the MW massacre. It was means at an end, the last resort. Kill or be killed. They didn't have a choice.

Lexa let a bomb drop on her people to KEEP BELLAMY SAFE. If he was found out, the whole plan would go to ruins and nobody would be saved. Neither the MW massacre of Lexa's choice were senseless killings.

Also, the sex thing, that's your opinion but some people don't find anything wrong with causal sex. To me, as long as it's consensual and both parties are old enough and understand the possible consequences, it shouldn't be a problem. Anyway, the show is centered around teenagers/very young adults, who do that all of the time. It's just how life is and it's not a big deal.
