This is also why, despite doing stuff like killing six children, people like Asgore are not treated narratively as evil
Okay I know they murdered 6 innocent children but if you look at the narrative…
I agree with your interpretation generally but fuck do most of the monsters deserve to be beaten up if not killed from a purely game play perspective. Do their souls disappear if they die of old age? Why not give them a happy life underground, use that one soul to travel to the human world, kill 6 landlords, and then go back to free everyone like Toriel explained.
It’s also worth noting that their policy WAS originally raising humans underground, but it changed massively AFTER their prince got mercilessly slaughtered for taking their adoptive sibling’s corpse out of the barrier to be buried by their own species.
Adults murdered my son so I must slaughter unrelated children. I will also not use my power upon the death of the first child to go and collect the other souls from more deserving people. Instead I will sit around waiting, condemning the first 7 children who show up to death. Nor will I decide to stay underground and let the children go if that was my goal in the first place.
Even in context Asgore is objectively evil. If Asgore went out in anger and slaughtered 6 humans in retaliation then that’d be wrong but still understandable. The comparison to the IRA is absolutely shit because they never decided to target unrelated children of British people at the expense of their own goals. If the IRA had a choose between bombing a daycare center or Margaret Thatcher then they’d be evil if they decided to bomb the daycare.
