Zandberg X Toriel wants to keep you in the ruins forever, despite the fact that you actively told her you wanted to go home. That's literally called unlawful imprisonment. Papyrus originally attempted to "capture you" with electric mazes, Piranha infested waters, and other likely lethal puzzles. It's called assault and kidnapping. And please, Tell me if your mindset would be ok if you fell down at least 1000 ft(cause a mountain is at least 1k feet for it to be considered to be a mountain), met a "friendly Flower" who then beats you to the brink of death, then proceeds to meet dozens of monsters who want you dead just so they can kill 7.8 billion more. How exactly is it wrong for the humans to kill monsters that THREATEN the human?

[@3lH4ck3rC0mf0r7]

UT's genocide route feels almost like an inverse creepypasta game. The game goes like any normal creepypasta game, where you try to run away and escape the threat. However this threat always finds you, and murders you. In Undertale this same logic applies, except you're the threat, and everyone tries to run away and escape you. But just like every creepypasta game, if you go with it, the threat wins. You win.

[@lucasmartinez5703]

Exactly. You're the scary thing everyone's trying to run away from. You're basically a serial killer on genocide runs.

[@3lH4ck3rC0mf0r7]

... Or do you? You see, the creepypasta formula is incomplete. We don't know what happens to the game's universe after the threat proved they were stronger than us in a regular creepypasta game. In Undertale however, this gap is filled up to a point. A power greater than the threat, which may or may not be a part of the threat themselves, arises, and either punishes or drives the threat insane once they have nothing else to destroy. It's up to interpretation.

[@3lH4ck3rC0mf0r7]

I've seen a Chara .EXE creepypasta game somewhere, however it's more like spoopypasta. A true UT-based creepypasta game would be one that puts you in Alphys's shoes as a Genocide run is taking place. Because you can't murder Alphys in-game, it's more hopeful... Or maybe even more nightmarish. You see, Alphys will have to remember her Amalgamates AND the death of monsterkind forever. And in case that isn't bad enough, let's talk resets. This is all just a bad dream, and she's never waking up. If she could remember, which for a creepy setting, let's just give ourselves some artistic freedom, let's just say she does, it's torture, especially if we asume the kid enjoys murder and never changes their mind, resets take place inmediately after the genocide run ends and we see the intro again, and that Alphys can't feel or see the 5 minutes the game gets stuck in the black screen.

[@3lH4ck3rC0mf0r7]

***** Sounds cool!

[@3lH4ck3rC0mf0r7]

*****​​​ The best of it all, is that due to everyone else not remembering, nobody else can understand Alphys's pain. At one point we could see her jump into the abyss at the area with the endless cycle of worthless garbage. She commits suicide, only to wake up again, in her bed, in a brand new RESET. Only to realise not even death can save her. In fact, this is how Sans is theorized to feel. However I don't think he can remember. He speaks about time anomalies in the geno route like he knows they exist, but it doesn't look like he can experience those anomalies personally. "That look on your face..." He's just good at reading you.

Toriel's point was to stall for time until she arrives to resolve the encounter for the human, like she does with the first Froggit we encounter by staring at them intimidatingly. Despite being told to stay in that hallway where she leaves us, and where we may actually wait long enough for her to pick us up, we a) still a human, and presumably a child, whose curiosity or anxiety might get the better of them and drive them to go into the ruins alone, and b) considering that Flowey attacked us the very first moment we've been in and tried to deceive us to do so, what credit of trust any monster's word has to the human at that point in time to stay alone and wait for unspecified amount of time? Not a lot, when you are alone in the dark, where creatures you do not phatom reside, and might be driven also by cold, hunger or fear.

[@ultimate_capper3643]

Tuxedobird That’s literally a self contradiction?p. If someone tried to kill you, how can you kill innocents if they aren’t innocent? And how exactly are the monsters innocent? They declared war on the humans just because their king’s children died because Chara poisoned themselves so Asriel can absorb their soul, and the humans killed Asriel because they assumed that he killed Chara. If killing 7.8 billion humans just because they acted out of self defense is considered to be innocent, then why is the human’s actions unjustified just because they merely killed over 100, which is like a small portion of the monster race, judging by how many souls Asriel released when he broke the barrier.

[@tuxedobird]

Junzhuo Zhong Yeah, But frisk doesn’t know this. Frisk in this case would be immediately trying to kill someone. Also, in this run you hunt them down, so really they’re the ones using self-defense.

[@ultimate_capper3643]

That is true, I do not deny that, however, the human cannot actively kill the monsters unless the monsters were the ones to first initiate the encounter. So every monster that the human killed was because the monsters WILLINGLY wanted to Fight(and kill) the human. At best, the human is simply challenging someone to a duel and the monster is making the duel happen by supplying the weapons and the area they can fight in. And like I said, how is it unjustified for the human to hunt down monsters, the same monsters who want to do the same thing to humans but on an even higher scale?

whoah, whoah, I was all for it until you said the (blue) magic word. "Papyrus". Papyrus is only "Hell-bent" on capturing you because it is his dream to join the royal guard, he says when he captures you, he will send you to the capital... and he doesn't know what happens next, heck, he probably doesn't even know what the royal guard does, also, he poses no threat what-so-ever, he doesn't even kill you, he just.... puts you in a shed.... that... you can easily escape from.... and even if you keep losing to him he just lets you go past, I mean I could understand the argument, "but he's trying to kill me so i'll kill him" if it was actually happening to you, but even when you attack him, when he's left with only a small amount of hp, he says something along the lines of "ok you win, you can spare me now". So either way, you basically are never FORCED to kill Papyrus.

[@hoshbomb8068]

Problems: Pacifist: From a human's perspective, the monsters are playing genocide at first. From a monster's perspective, they are defending themselves, stopping when they realized you are friendly/neutral and is reluctant to fight back. Neutral: From a human's perspective, the monsters are killing machines. From a monster's perspective, it is an act of self-defense, and also you are a human, and humans should die. Genocide: From a human's perspective, it is an act of self-defense. From a monster's perspective, the humans are nuclear bombs. And here's why: Basic History: Humans fear the monster's ability to absorb a human SOUL, possessing incredible powers. They declared war on monsters and won. Monsters got sealed in a huge rock cave with a magic barrier, which allow only ones with human souls can cross. The monsters believe that all humans are the creatures with the intent of killing every last one of them and wants to avoid that by killing them first. The idea became a dominant piece of their mind when Asriel died because of humans. Asgore declares war once more on humans, saying "Every humans that enters here, shall never leave with their bodies."just to gain hope once more among the monsters. Toriel disagrees and attempts to prevent humans from leaving the RUINS, because she knows that if you leave, you die to ASGORE. And when you do die to asgore, he goes to break the barrier and revenge on humanity for the murder of his son. By blocking you from venturing to the rest of the Underground, Toriel is saving both humans and monsters from dying to another war. Except that all monsters would be dead, including herself.

@@turkepic3637 Keep in mind that the character you are playing as is a human child who comes from the modern world where monsters are considered fictional and also beings that are to be feared. Children are the most helpless of the human species as they lack knowledge, empathy, and understanding of the world around them and if tf they do end up in a dangerous situation where someone tells you they want to kidnap and kill you then you have every right to get away from them by what ever means necessary. In reality if a child entered a world like this they be freaked out of their minds to the point they would start killing these monsters even more so since they repeatedly threaten how much they want to kidnap and kill you along with other humans not to mention have already killed 6 other children who ended up there. So, yes Genocide is still justifiable.

[@turkepic3637]

@@CynderSpirit no , genocide is still not justified. Are you sane? Children have the ability to emphasize , they do have some knowledge , though they lack general understanding of the world. If a child gets freaked out , escaping would be first priority. Not MURDER. If we eliminate player , the most used option would be flee until Toriel. Now that's a hard one. Killing Toriel might be justified IF there is no resets happening to this point. Heck even so , I give it a pass. Every boss fight is Okay. I don't understand what is genocide in Undertale and irl. You don't defend yourself. You spend time looking for the enemy. You LOOK for them to KILL them. For another problem. Frisk's age and backstory. Age matters because knowledge of a 6 year old differs massively from 12 year old and will effect the results. Frisk's background , were they raised in a dangerous environment or were they in a wealthy and happy family ? There is no "one type of human", as you might know too. A human has so many variables that deciding is impossible. But how genocide works , doesn't change. You will actively search for monsters , and destroy them. Also , in genocide papyrus will ACTIVELY spare you , a HUMAN let alone a child would accept it , especially if they are aware of wtf is reset. Again , Frisk's age complicates how "aware" they are. But just imagine someone offering a hug to your messed up mind to cure it and you murder him with cold blood with one punch and keep this face (-_-). Yeah , what a child would do irl.

[@camolotthe42]

From the monster's perspective, attacking a human is self-defense. After all, the humans attempted to exterminate them in the past, which is the whole reason they're in the underground in the first place. Through legends and history, humans will have been made into this evil, soul-devouring menace that lurks even now just above ground, waiting to destroy them at any moment. You sparing them is them ceasing their attacks when they realize that you're not hostile and withdrawing. Toriel *knew* that if she let you pass, then not only would you die to Asgore, it would lead to Asgore ascending to being something on the level of his son at the end of the game, and then taking revenge on humanity for the murder of his son. In attempting to keep you there, she's not just attempting to spare your life, she's attempting to save all of humanity from a similar death. Eye for an eye, but Toriel knows that makes the whole world blind. And even *then,* she tried to put up *just* enough of a fight to discourage you from continuing onwards, and she doesn't even have the fortitude to keep THAT up when you refuse to fight her. She's obviously horrified when she accidentally kills you. Her hypocrisy is most likely her projecting her guilt and sadness onto Asgore. Papyrus only does what he does because he's naive. He thinks that real life works like anime (though, to be fair, life in the underground has some definite resemblance towards anime). He's been ordered to capture humans, but he doesn't understand *why,* just that he's been told to do it, and by a personal hero of his no less. Undyne shares the same opinion of humanity as the other monsters. Namely, that humans are the evilest of evils, and that the only way that monsters can possibly survive and thrive is if humanity, their worst and greatest enemies, were destroyed. She no doubt regrets having to take any life for this goal, but believes that it's necessary if monster kind, her friends and loved ones, are to survive. Alphys is... disconnected from the real world at best. She is rather like Papyrus, though from a different perspective: she doesn't really understand the consequences of her actions or why certain things might be bad for her or for others. Part of this very well might be escapism and trauma on her part from her participation in the experiments with determination, where a real, tangible attempt to save lives and resurrect monsters just so they could be with their families again failed due to things that she could have never predicted. Thus, her inability to correctly perceive the world, and her obsession with anime, is a coping mechanism that she uses to deal with her own psychological damage. She might not even really comprehend that she's putting you in danger. Muffet believes you to be a horrible person who wiped out the spiders that had been long trapped in the Ruins. She is honestly misinformed, and simply didn't know that you didn't actually *do* anything. She's angry and distraught, and is attempting to exact her revenge on what she views as a psychotic murderer. Additionally, her overpricing is entirely in response to this as well, and is most likely entirely restricted to you. Mettaton fights you for the same reasons as Undyne and all the other monsters: because from Mettaton's perspective, you're evil. Mettaton's earlier attacks were more or less due to Alphys' interference, given that she sent him against you. Mettaton's main issues are his tunnel vision and his obsession with fame, which lead into him abandoning Napstablook and then attacking and attempting to kill you. In the end, you help Mettaton realize that he really did accomplish what he wanted to, and that he doesn't need to fight. Thus, he allows your passage. Sans has meta awareness. Obviously, he's aware of things that none of the other monsters are, like the fact that you're neither evil nor hostile (except on the Genocide route). However, he takes no steps to warn the other monsters of this, because in the end, there's no point. He lost hope a long time ago. Him attacking you is a kind of empty resignation to the inevitable, and attempting to change your path by frustrating you, knowing that it's all worthless in the end. Asgore, in the end, is more or less just as justified in his campaign against humanity as you are justified in killing monsters that attack you. Asgore in the aboveground would be just like you in the underground: namely, that he would be more or less just acting in self-defense. It's just that he'd have a secondary motive: revenge. Flowey is a husk of someone that once lived, soulless and undeniably sad. Killing him is something close to mercy, in a way, ending his empty existence, even if it doesn't have the wonder of his redemption. Is Frisk fighting back against the monsters justified? From a meta perspective, absolutely not. From their perspective... they're a child, why would they ever think of fighting back outside of the player's intervention? Essentially, without the player, they wouldn't fight the monsters anyway and the monsters would relent when they realized this. With the player, they're not justified because the player possesses meta knowledge.

[@shadowdent2077]

camolotthe42 well said man you made some great points

[@TheBennyester]

But all of this implies that the child would know of this, which it doesn't. Bringing the PLAYERS knowledge into this is completely out of place because the entire video was talking about the child's perspective, despite bringing up some background info about certain characters. All the child knows is that it's beeing attacked. If someone came up to you with a knife and tried to murder you for your money or expensive watch or whatever you have, would you for even a second think about why they do it? 'Curse not because within that second you'd be dead. In the child's eyes it is only protecting itself which justifies every single encounter except for the monster kid and maybe alphys.

Quick and meta answer: it's a game, and the monsters attacking first encourages the player to fight, just like most games. Thoughtful answer: because all they know is that humankind fought their people, killed and defeated them ages ago, and sealed them underground in possible eternal banishment. Just as if an enemy infiltrated one of our camps or bases, we'd try to kill him, or capture him if our troops felt like it. If an Antichrist took over the world, a lot of people would fight against him and his "well meaning" forces.

[@thomaslecomte1570]

No, this isn't justified. Primarily, your argument is that you don't know better and are just retaliating. This is just not true. You cannot complete a genocide run if you never actively searched monsters to kill them. Random encounters are so rare once you get to a certain level that you cannot even consider them as attacking you. Plus, you know you have another possibility. The first "fight" you get into, with the dummy, shows you that you can do something else than hitting. You're told to speak to it. You have the act button -why would it be there considering enemies hardly take more than two hits to beat?- and the puzzles you meet along the way. Toby Fox designed the game not to be funny when taking that route, and he always gives you the opportunity to turn back. I can understand that you kill Toriel. You're played on, you have to go back to save her, understand the mechanics. But by Papyrus, you cannot be forgiven for killing anyone. He does not attack you and never wanted to kill you. Yes, if you think it through, that's what being captured would mean, but the game just isn't thought this way. However long you wait, Undyne will never get you in your cell. Never. Oh, and how about monster kid? Are you justified for killing him? There's no retaliation here. As I said, the game is less and less funny taking that route, and you can go back. Sans is your final warning -take for instance what happens when he spares you: he says "don't come back". Also, if you beat him then save, the savepoint tells you, Toby tells you : "If you're here, it's that somehow I did something wrong". Because you are not supposed to take that route. Everything dissuaded you to do so, and you always had the opportunity to go back and play it right. Final argument: if you could be excused for a genocide, you wouldn't be so awfully punished after a pacifist route if you have done a genocide. In pacifist, everyone is happy! You set all things nicely, surely whatever you could have done would be forgiven? No. You aren't meant to be forgiven, this is going way too far.Retaliation is understandable. That is why a NEUTRAL path is justifiable. However, a genocide route is way different. Remember the selling argument for that game: a game where you don't have to kill everybody. This game is a pacifist statement. The other routes are here to make you understand by trial and error how you were always supposed to act. Toby Fox puts you in a context of violence because you know better, you know what the game is about, and if you didn't, you're told. That's why we start with Toriel. The very intro, when she shoos Flowey away, proves you that he was wrong. She saves your life to show you how to play. She inspires you to pacifism, and I think that's what the final goal is: to inspire the monsters to love and peace. This is an incredible statement considering what happens in our world. You say we are justified to kill because monsters attack first, but let me ask you this: who started the war between humans and monsters? We don't know. There is no clue. In our world either, it runs from far too long, and it's far too complex. Are we justified to keep on fighting and killing because someone attacked first? Toby says no. Everyone is responsible for perpetuating the fight.

But, another thing that should be taken into account, some of the Monsters that attack don't recognize Frisk as human, also, a lot of them, namely most of the main characters, don't recognize Toriel as the former queen, nor does ANYONE other than the Monsters in New Home mention Asriel.

Here a child accidentally falls into a world full of monsters who are literally kidnapping and killing these children. Seriously, read the dialog of what Torial is saying and doing in the beginning of the game, yes we learn she is trying to protect you but to a child they have only known this person/monster for only two days and we are expected to trust this person all because they made us pie (Which kids are also suppose to not except food from stangers unless it's Halloween), and then later when you want to leave she has every excuse as why you shouldn't't, to a child they don't know who this person really is and what their intentions.

[@mariobermudez1228]

Here's the thing: All of this is only justifiable IF you're playing for the first time and are totally unaware of the intention or back story of these monsters. Most people who do genocide run though usually do it after a pacifist run: After they're aware of the happy ending, aware of why the monsters are doing what they're doing, and are even aware that when they get to the surface, things seem to be working out for them. Most people usually do the genocide run for the sake of either completion or curiosity, considering the fact that in the context of this world, they can restart and undo all their previous damage and assume that once it's over with, they can just go back and do another pacifist run to get a better ending. I mean, think about it: If you had the power to rewind time and undo everything you did after you did it and restart from earlier points of your life: Would you not be tempted to abuse that power? Especially since there are no consequences (as far as you know) since you can undo any damage and no one will remember a thing? You could literally get away with murder and because you can bring that person back to life with out any memory of what you did, you'll be fine. I personally find it difficult to justify the genocide run considering how Toby has described other games: He always thought about the implications of slaying monsters/enemies mindlessly in other RPG's and felt that it made the heroes seem less heroic, which is why befriending the monsters in this game is heavily encouraged by not only the game itself, but also when the game was first advertised. Let's not forget how it seems like Toby Fox made the genocide route as boring/repetitive/grind heavy/redundant as he did: In order to make things less fun, and with how heavy handed the game is by either guilt you or scolding you for your choices. Also the fact that Genocide run has consequences and takes away the chance for another happy ending (True Pacifist Route is now called Soulless Pacifist Route for example, basiccly rubbing in what you did prior) I don't think Toby Fox would want us justifying the genocide ending when it appears that the whole reason Undertale was designed the way it was was to show the player that the genocide route isn't a good choice. Though I've heard people justify genocide run for other reasons: Reason 1: If you don't end the time line permanently, Flowey will just keep resetting to the beginning every time, making all the characters in Undertale stuck in a perpetual time loop forever (Though it's been proven that Flowey can't due this due to Frisks's determination out weighing their own, though I guess it can be determined that when Frisk finally dies some how or if Flowey themselves managed to gain more determination, then this is possible) so this means that killing everyone via genocide run is an act of mercy to finally release them from the time loop. Reason 2: That the monsters going back to the surface, since it's doubtful humanity will just let them integrate with their society and probably segregate them, and that they'll either all be slain by the humans and die anyway, or that this could be the cause of another human/monster war in which the causalities could be far greater than the mere body count of the genocide run. So by killing all of them, you're essentially sparing them and the rest of a surface from more wide scale destruction. Reason 3: The fact that the monsters might have destroyed humanity during the ending credits of the Pacifist Route because we don't see the monsters interacting with any humans on the surface, and the humans themselves seem to have disappeared while the monsters are roaming about the city (Though I'm sure there's another explanation for this) thus the monsters all need to be killed to protect humanity on the surface. I personally disagree with these three statements (despite how understandable they are) since the implication that genocide run is the answer goes against the whole point/message of the game, and the fact that we already have people who believe that wiping off certain groups of people from the face of the earth is the only way to make things better (In other words, they believe the genocide of certain populations is justified for similar reasons) which I think is BS because there's always another way.

[@fluffyphoenix8082]

None of this is justifiable. Only neutral is; genocide is not. I agree with you that you can't really justify it and that Toby himself tried to make it as blatantly unjustifiable as possible. Also, all those statements of trying to justify genocide are ridiculous. I disagree with those statements as well. The first and second ones are definitely interesting and I'd love to see them expanded upon, but for the second one... The monsters are miserable being stuck Underground. All of them are so hopeful to reach the Surface. Why not let them try? We actually _see_ the monsters living happily on the Surface in the end. Whether or not that took years of the monsters dealing with prejudices, we don't know, but they do seem happier up there. The third is especially ridiculous. The game has stated multiple times that monsters are far weaker than humans and that almost _all_ the souls of the monsters would be needed just to equal the power of a single human soul. How many monsters are there? I'd guess not many more than a thousand, if even that. The Underground is a small place and not conducive to repopulation. And how many humans are there? _Billions._ I'm pretty sure it's impossible for the monsters to destroy humans. The point is, yes, I agree with you that genocide can't be justified.

[@mariobermudez1228]

The theories/reasons for why the genocide run is justified all come from different fan perspectives, but yeah, the third is absolutely ridiculous, though the theory goes that the monsters SOME HOW destroyed humanity (Maybe Dr. Alphys made anti-human weapons) but even the people who believe that theory have to enter some hard core fan fiction territory to explain why it's possible. Another theory for the monsters roaming about with out any humans in the pacifist ending is that humanity is literally done and the city was abandoned, so now the monsters are inhabiting it... though this one has nothing to do with justifying Genocide, so I won't go much into detail. What this video also failed to point out (that I forgot to point out in my first rant) is also that in Genocide run, you're deliberately looking for monsters to kill and not just fighting what ever comes your way and killing out of self defense. There's a difference between killing your attacker and/or deliberately hunting down others with the intent to murder them. I guess that can be justified for 2 reasons: That the protagonist is aware of how killing monsters makes them stronger, so they're killing as many as possible to stand a better chance and not die/be killed themselves since they'll need that strength to escape. And that they're seeking/killing monsters intentionally to make sure there aren't none left for the sake of safety, since it's better to take your enemies down first so they don't come around and attack you later (Like they're killing out of fear/paranoia opposed to power or homicidal tenancies) Though both those arguments fall apart when, again, the genocide route is done AFTER neutral/pacifist, so they're aware that such acts are not needed. (and can only be applied if the person doing this is playing for the first time with out context/explanation and decides to do genocide run for their first play through)

[@fluffyphoenix8082]

I still find it kinda unbelievable that the monsters would even manage to gather enough materials to make _that many weapons._ Imagine how powerful the weapons would have to be and how much material they'd have to find somehow. Let's say that when the monsters first emerge, humans hate them and try to segregate them. If that were the case, it'd be even harder for the monsters to find necessary materials since they wouldn't have free roam of the land. Also, humans have things like nukes, and since there are probably only a thousand monsters _at maximum,_ if the humans pushed the monsters away from themselves, it'd be extremely easy to just nuke them all the moment they found out the monsters were trying to build a weapon. And let's say the humans _didn't_ hate the monsters... Then what would the purpose of destroying them be? We know for a fact that the monsters don't want to wage war on humanity the moment they step out onto the surface. After all, Frisk has shown them that not all humans are bad, and plus Asgore asks you to be their ambassador to humans, and Papyrus wants to be the mascot; clearly their intentions are peaceful. So this whole idea is kind of unlikely imo. As for genocide being self-defense... even if you went in to the game blind and accidentally chose genocide, that still isn't right. Actively seeking out and slaughtering all the monsters you can possibly find is murderous. It isn't self-defense. That would be like saying that a soldier in war, after a long battle, goes on to kill an entire innocent 'enemy' village, including its women and children, just because he doesn't want to take the risk of anyone retaliating. Seriously, it's inexcusable. I know it's probably silly of me to compare a game to something as awful as that, but it was the best example I could come up with...

[@etm5315]

(A bit late to comment on this video I know, but I’m commenting anyways) - Going through the genocide run is not justifiable in any shape or form, Frisk is as self aware as the player is and that is immediately proven by some of the interactions you have when checking objects in specific areas and when Frisk moves on his own without you controlling him, when doing that, he essentially knows what his opponent’s next move is (and by doing that, it shows that you as Chara have the intent to kill without hesitation). - When you “aimlessly go around the room”, you’re objective by doing that is to literally find and encounter the monsters yourself and kill them, the monsters are trying to run away from you while you’re trying to hunt them down. - Even if you’re trying to prove that it’s justifiable to kill the monsters considering the fact that they attack you first, that wasn’t the case for some of the other innocent monsters you harm like Papyrus or Monster Kid, even with some of the other monsters like Froget that don’t even know what brought them in front of you (if you look at the text with Froget, it says something along the lines of “Froget doesn’t seem to know what brought them here” indicating that 1) you found him and now you are about to kill him 2) Froget accidentally went into an interaction with you and yet you decide to cause his demise). - It’s by the time that you’ve made it past Snowden and enter Waterfall when every monster starts running away from you. The smile that pops up when encountering a monster indicates that you wanted that encounter and you most probably was the one that started it due to how sadistic you are by that point and how terrified the monsters are from you. Undyne is only considered the “true heroin” once you try to murder an innocent child that didn’t even want to hurt you. By the point you’ve killed Undyne, every monster you counter is just trying to stop you from causing anymore harm to monster kind. - I’ve already mentioned that Frisk knows as much as the player does in my first paragraph, keeping that in mind would mean that Frisk is considered evil once you start a genocide run, since Frisk has gone through all the other alternatives and has practically studied every monster you encounter in the underground. Frisk is your desires to what you want to do and cause in Undertale, you quite literally make up Frisk, and what you want out of the genocide run is to discover the truth that you’ve never witnessed before and to see what happens when killing the monsters (which on its own is incredibly sadistic and psychopathic) which inevitably leads to summoning a demonic being (Chara) that was one of the biggest if not the biggest reason to why the underground has suffered so much, Chara leaves out clues telling you about her revival or at least telling you something bad would happen if you end up going through a genocide run throughout your encounters with certain objects and monsters. - You deciding to desperately fight monsters like Sans and Undyne is preposterous and outright dumb (that is if you attempt to consider genocide being justifiable), Undyne the undying is trying to desperately stop you from destroying her home, friends, and family while you keep flashing back from outside the spacetime continuum to deal more damage and to end up killing her. Once you’ve made it to the judgement hall and meet up with Sans, Sans makes it very obvious that there are better outcomes to this with you resetting and going on with the happy ending, but you still decide to fight and keep on trying to kill Sans even though all he wants is for you to go back in time and do the right thing for all monsters. By the point you make it to Asgore, you’re kicking a dead horse when trying to justify genocide because you can’t, it’s obvious why once you go through the route itself so I won’t bother explain myself.

It's not always easy to let the burning hate of the ones of suffered, and it's easy to let your own pain lash out at other people because you suffered something in life too. Sometimes it takes self control and a bit of patience to see that there's a lot more than a facade that says "I hate you!" and screams "I'm hurting and I can't take the risk of being hurt again!"

In our own system of law, if someone tries to kill you OR someone you love you can use deadly force to defend yourself.

Right before he puts you on the brink of death in an instant. How do we even know he's a kid, anyways? Sure, he's small, but there's plenty of even smaller monsters that we don't just assume to be kids. Face it, the only reason we even assume him to be a kid is because he's called that by the game! And need i remind you that Frisk was perfectly happy to live and let live, right up to the point when monster kid himself confronts him, and declares his intention to fight! Speaking of which, shall I go down the list of other monsters Frisk was perfectly happy to let live? Gerson, The Temmie Shopkeeper, Burgerpants... Boy, for a genocidal maniac, Frisk sure seems friendly to people that aren't brazenly trying to kill or trap him. He even struck up a friendly conversation with a couple of them.

They're so proud of killing, especially humans down there, but when a human starts killing, they start acting like heroes for trying to stop you.

Gostler 6 people out of 7 billion seems laughable to get mad over, yes, but you must realize, all 6 who died came down in the underground. Most of them are more than likely merciful, as Undyne said they all confronted Asgore and yet every other main monster in the game is still alive. On the flip side, Frisk kills one random Froggit, has Sans yell at them for only doing this to get "results" and can't get past the barrier.

[@koiternz7t]

No, they didn't all die to Asgore, also, they kinda NEEDED to kill the kids.

[@aaron5883]

Gostler Undyne said in her Neutral/Pacifist fight "no human has ever got past Asgore, killing you is an act of mercy". Now, Toriel would not be able to kill any humans as she stated all of the others "come and go" and die outside of the Ruins. It is implied Papyrus has never seen a human before you and Sans would be too lazy to kill any human that isn't a genocidal maniac, which none of them were. This only means (out of boss characters) Mettaton could have killed them. But Mettaton did not exist during most, or all of the human's existence, Alphys might not even have been the Royal Scientist for some, and if Mettaton did kill one, he would be on the surface. They all died to Asgore. They did need to kill them to pass the barrier, but a few things. 1. Asgore went psychotic and swore to kill every human instead of just one and passing the barrier to get souls. 2. Even though the only way you truly pass the barrier is through Pacifist ingame, from Frisk's perspective, you will need to kill at least one boss monster to pass. They both needed to kill to achieve their goals, but Frisk is the only one getting shit for it. I am not trying to say Asgore is a bad guy or bad character, but rather saying him and Frisk are nearly the same.

Either way, the fact that the monsters say to spare others if they don't want to fight (this can mean you fought them to a point when they don't want to fight anymore, not just that you acted until they gave up) kind of makes the neutral unjustifiable.

Toriel, as much as I hate her, does not ever intend to kill you, and thusly I always spare. And Papyrus is a paragon of virtue in my eye, one of the few genuinely heroic monsters that I can respect. My issue that most monsters are trying to murder a Small Child and then they whine at me when I fight back. The monster race is a bunch of hypocrites, because they don’t know I can rewind time, they think I’m a defenseless child so they think “Ooh, Easy Kill!”, their whole society is based so much around souls that I’m damn sure they were a bunch of soul stealing demons in the past, and that’s why they were sealed away.

Especially considering that she basically comes to the conclusion that she's wrong on her own if you just don't attack her. Technically you have to press "spare", but it doesn't say what you do by pressing it, so it's the same as doing nothing. Also, I like to think that monsters just stop attacking you after 5-ish battles, since the way Toby made it doesn't make much sense. Also, some fights are just dumb, Aaron/Shyren/Napstablook and many others are obviously not trying to kill you, no idea why you can take damage in those fights.

@@YooranKujara Thank you. Also even this is according to Frisk’s perspective it’s still unjustified. Because this goes against the lore of Undertale. As all true fans would know, after Frisk completed the Pacifist ending they get bored and was curious of what would happen if they committed Genocide, they thought they were above consequences. They thought they’d be able to reset as usual. So none of Frisk’s actions are out of self defence but pure curiosity.

Also this video also goes against the Genocide route purpose. The G route was supposed to make the player feel guilty and miserable. Precious thing often becomes precious when you loose them.

[@kristianperez4108]

Why the genocide run is not justifiable: 1. One must actively seek out monsters to kill, 2. One must kill a pacifist, that being Papyrus who spares you, 3. One must try to kill a child, that is to say monster kid, 4. One must have the underground destroyed, thereby putting the entire world at risk, As for killing in general: 1. Monsters can be spared at low health, which makes killing them unnecessary, 2. Monsters can be spared if the character is of a high LV, making fights unnecessary, 3. Despite the fact that the monsters instigate a battle, the character always goes first, 4. While monsters do attack you, not all of them do so intentionally (Woshua and Blooky for example) 5. Certain monsters (whimsun, moldsmal) can be spared immediately, making fights unnecessary, 6. Toriel and Papyrus do not try to kill you, even though the former can do so by accident, 7. All monster encounters can be fled from, making fights unnecessary, 8. As a human, the character is immensely powerful compared to the monsters, the vast majority hardly pose a threat, 9. Rationally speaking, fighting the monsters isn't beneficial, one is better off sparing or running away, 10. Many monsters educate the character about sparing and mercy, so ignorance can not be used for justification,

[@chezze8190]

1. The monsters declared war on humans, WAR! Why would the player think to spare or leave behind an enemy who is willing to kill them? I can't imagine people "sparing" enemies mid world war 2. 2. Papyrus only spares you during a genocide run. He kills you during any other run. If you couldn't respawn, you'd be dead. Surrendering was a survival instinct papyrus had after realizing he couldn't beat you. If you argue that he doesn't kill you and only captures you, your soul literally breaks. If Toby fox really wanted to show you getting captures and not killed, he would have programmed the game to make you lose but let you live on one health. 3. Monster kid is one of your stronger arguments, so I'll acknowledge it. However I will admit that ignorance is what gets monster kid killed. He knows what you're doing and chooses to fight you rather than run for his life. "...you'll have to get through me first" is what he said. It's brave, but I wouldn't bank my life on someone else's compassion. The monsters have shown no reason to get compassion since all of them except sans tried to kill you at least once. 4. This can tie back to number one, they asked for war and knew what they were getting themselves into. Asgore and undyne show little care about wiping out humanity for the benefit of the monsters. 5. Even after sparing a monster turn one, they still attack you. Sure you can spare them, but none of them spare you. Plus they benefit if you die by getting another soul, so why not defend yourself? On top of that, sparing undyne in a neutral run makes her hunt you down, so sparing them presents risk to your life. 6. It doesn't matter how much weaker the enemy is, they can all kill you if given the opportunity, and like I mentioned before, sparing presents risk. 7. I mentioned this in number 5 8. Your general killing number 4 is again another good point you've brought up. But by this point Alphys should have warned the monsters to get out of your way. I get that not every monster is for the war against humanity, but intentional or not, death is death, and that's exactly what the player is trying to avoid. If someone is trying to kill me during a war, I don't care if it's intentional or not, they're next. 9. You often bringing up the argument that if you don't spare, your actions are unjustifiable. Refer to 5-6. 10. The game is designed to have you think you have to fight toriel, which leads to you accidentally killing her so you can replay the game differently. In the scenario of this argument, the player doesn't know that toriel is holding back her attacks. All they know is that toriel is attacking them with fire and they have the options to either run away and stay stuck underground forever, or fight your way out. And again, papyrus doesn't try to avoid hitting you unless his back's against a wall. 11. Sparing and fleeing are the same thing. My previous 2 points (5-6) still stand. 12. If you didn't save ever, you would most likely die to one of the monsters. (Unless you are Merg). Killing means experience, that means more strength, and that means better odds of survival. Saving is not allowed in this scenario because we are assuming that we are in frisk's shoes, and if we only have one life, why should we assume we can respawn? 13. Fighting is beneficial because it yields better stats. This is assuming we are new to undertale and don't know all 69 possible endings. 14. Yeah.. we learn about sparing, but the monsters are hypocrites who want to kill you for your soul and never spare you. In a more realistic setting, how many times are you gonna try to befriend a possessed dummy who constantly charges you with a knife or an evil flower who tries to kill you as soon as you're introduced to the underground? 15. In my opinion, the monsters are all guilty of wanting revenge. They're fine with taking 6 human souls, 6 human lives, the lives of children! Yet if you ever kill anyone during a run through, you become the enemy. Hell, even killing a single froggit makes undyne want to hunt you down. The creator would really hate it if someone gets a happy ending during a genocide route, so in the end, you die. To the monsters, it's kill or be killed, but for you, it's spare or get a bad ending. That's why I enjoyed this video, because it brought to light an alternative prospective to such a linear game with us ethics.

[@nefilipa2001]

The humans *were the ones* who declared war on monsters *first* because they feared the monsters' ability to absorb a human soul wich causes the monsters to become more powerful. Therefore they trapped the monsters underground with a magic spell. (This information is dictated in the ancient plaques located in Waterfall) This is *not a justifiable reason* . Just because someone *can do* something does not imply they will do something. Asgore declared war on humanity *after* they killed his son Asriel (who *refused* to fight back) over a ignorant misunderstanding. They did not even give him a chance to explain himself. The humans assumed he, *as an individual* , murdered the dead child he carried in his arms, most likely based of his specie. That's *not a moraly correct reason* . BTW Papyrus *never* kills the player in *any* route. There is *never* a gameover therefore your heart/soul *never* breaks. He shows compassion in the genocide route and he pities you in the passifist route. He spares you in all routes (even though it takes him longer to give you mercy in the passifist route).

Justifiable =/= the right thing to do. Also pointing out that you conveniently skipped Monster Kid, who you proactively attack by interrupting them mid-sentence. (And a detail that's easy to miss, but if I recall correctly one of the books in Snowdin's library states that a monster's attack is just how it communicates and expresses its emotions. They're proactively engaging with you...to communicate with you. They don't realize they're actually inflicting damage. The player, on the other hand.... One of the whole themes of the game is understanding not to judge others by appearances.)

This is hella late, but I'm pretty sure he mentioned that it wasn't a complete genocide and more of a 'kill anything that attacked you, route'. Even if it was a true genocide, in the standpoint of a child or any human at all, if a flower can betray you and nearly kill you, what makes you think a monster kid is harmless? If you were stuck in a pit of monsters that constantly attacked you, survival would be the first thing you care about, morals or not.

@@examplenote1413 The youtuber is trying to justify a no mercy run but also, if it was still a genocide, I doubt Frisk would have a reason to trust a spear holding fish lady that's trying to kill him.

Who's to say that Frisk doesn't think the monsters may one day rise and kill his parents and all of humanity? In the eyes of a human, it may be justices. We, humans, stereotype things quite often. The second that Frisk puts all monsters into the categories of danger, he may commit genocide to defend the species he's a part of.

Well Toriel's smile in Genocide is less insane and more....broken when you think about it. The whole reason Toriel forces you to fight her is because she wants to know if you have the power to survive in the Underground. If you kill her in a Neutral run, you basically prove that to her. On a Genocide run, you do the same thing but with a sinister context since she realizes that the Underground wasn't a threat to you at all. Instead, YOU are the threat to the Underground and Toriel was protecting them from you the entire time. The broken smile is probably a mix of that realization and her misplaced belief in you being good.

[@rggrill3588]

A very good point

[@boxed_goat6794]

I think when Toriel smiles in neutral it's because she knows you will be able to survive, in genocide it's that broken kind of smile but either way she just wanted to protect you, it's like killing your mom just because you can.

To be honest, getting the genocide route means you actively went out of your way to kill every monster you found, even if they weren't attacking you. Though I see were you are getting at. Like you, I think if the human was just killing the monsters that came their way and attacked them, it would be justifiable. You are a lost child that stumbled into the underground and all of a sudden these monsters are attacking you. It's not as if you attacked first, why do they want to kill you so much? Most people's instincts are to defend themselves in that situation, it probably would have never crossed anyone's mind to try and spare them, much like when people do the neutral route on the first try. It's not fair to accuse them of being an evil murderer when the monsters were pretty much trying to kill you, a young child who had accidentally stumbled into the underground.
