Following earlier work we proceed with a detailed investigation of genocide accusations which we consider to constitute a particular class of extreme accusations. We focus on controversial real-time accusations of episodal genocide. We find that the logic of genocide and the logic of genocide accusations interact in complicated ways, and that there is a plausible use for a new term: tribocide. Tribocide entails the visible and often detrimental effect of genocide on the victims, while abstracting from the perpetrator's plans, motives, and intentions, as well as from side-effects which may be advantageous from the perpetrator's perspective. Importantly, validating a tribocide accusation is simpler than validating a genocide accusation because the focus is exclusively on the victim's perspectives.
