Renoir and Verso were right. His side easily represents Christ. Life. Truth. The way. The women are wrong, save for Clea, because she was only ever motivated to honor her parents. Alicia and The Paintress are addicted to escapism (drugs). The constructs in the painting aren't real sadly there are those who deceive themselves into believing that having more empathy for something like an animal, for which we are meant to have dominion, over that of an actual human life is detestable and backward. Maelle is guaranteed a pointless, selfish death with hell as her eternity where she rendered Verso's sacrifice utterly meaningless and devastates her entire family but these people don't want to honor Verso or care about Renoir or the rest of the family. They forget that the original goal was getting the mother out of the canvas. Once it's time to get out since it's been established that the mother is the strongest in the family and WILL find a way to return, Alicia gets incredibly selfish and refuses to listen to reason.

It's even revealed that the last remnant of Verso's soul is tired and doesn't want to do this anymore. Alicia. Doesn't. Care. She just wants to stay in her candyland. Recall the beginning of the game. She actives craps on living in Lumiere. She truly doesn't sound like a fan of living there. But at the end she's crying for it. And that's sad because she doesn't believe in herself. Renoir flat out tells her that she can leave and recover her health and then return to the canvas later. She flat out refuses this truth.

There will be more women than men at the Great White Throne of Judgment. Maelle is the perfect reason why. She takes no accountability for her actions. She was supposed to be there to help her parents and honor her brother and in the end warped it all into her own pain. She didn't want to be accountable. Verso literally has to save Maelle's life twice because in grief she is massive idiot. She never would have released soul. That's evil.
