As for Davesprite and stuff about Terezi: I'm pretty sure Alpha Dave would stop him, and Alpha Dave is far more skilled and capable than Davesprite is.
That's a cop out simply because again, even among other examples in the introductory act and the act after it, nothing like this was established. Trolls killed, but they didn't kill close aquaintences. Vriska may have maimed horribly but that set off the whole revenge thing with Aradia, and she mentioned outright killing anyone in the other 11 wouldn't be something she'd do lightly. She "killed" Aradia, but that was neither lightly done nor left alone.

Killing in general may be ok, but in this specific context isn't supported by any kind of troll protocol.

You can't call this a cop out then wash it away with alien morality because it doesn't fit in the confines of that morality.

Also, Davesprite has a few months of extra experience on Dave, who never actually fought most of the same enemies as him. What Dave has on him is god tiers and better equipment, but in terms of Experience fighting that's it.
