Of course people were scared of him. He created demons whose sole purpose was to destroy life out of spite. Not out of balance or anything, but because he was jealous of his older brother. The God of Darkness is most certainly petty.

As for the whole 'wiping out life is good' thing...Yeah, no. By that logic, the Allies should have killed everyone in Japan and Germany during WWII. Genocide is not a pretty thing. And indeed, they gave them free will. Part of free will is making your own choiches. And it can therefore happen that they make choiches that the gods didn't like. And in response, the God of Darkness killed literally everyone on the planet except Salem. That's...an extremely brutal punishment and it honestly sounds like you kinda glorify/excuse genocide right now.

My opinion? Remnant is better off without the gods. Even the God of Light's warning to Ozpin is hypocritical. He claims that humanity will be punished if they demand gifts, yet are still divided...But here's the thing: humanity, during Salem's time, didn't really demand anything from the gods and they were united. It just so happened that they were united against the gods.

So the God of Light's messege is pretty much saying that unity and free will are good, unless they're united against him and his brother and develop opinions they don't like.
