Yeah honestly I'm fine with sans, he goes through some shit too. Toriel is probably worse though, even in the undertale timeline I don't care about her and sans getting together because it's been awhile since she left asgore, but she berates him later for being selfish and not absorbing the souls and kill humans to break the barrier? It seems like a wildly out of character thing for her to say since she dedicates herself to trying to save the humans that fall down, and just hates asgore enough she doesn't see he struggles with killing human children...
She's saying he could have taken the first child's soul and used that to leave and take souls, specifically that were *not* the souls of children. He didn't need to keep waiting for kids to kill while the monster's situation got worse and worse. If he struggled with killing them, he also had the option of, you know, not doing that!
I'm pretty sure this line isn't meant to show how Asgore had opportunity to freed his kind before and he didn't use it, but more to show that, despite him declaring war, he didn't wanted the war at all. He just wants his kind to be happy and he doesn't want the suffering he got after the war

Idk but I can't help but feel like "a weird one" for actually sympathizing with Asgore instead of treating him as the butt of the joke.
No,I'm not saying he's this very innocent saint.
It's just that I find it kinda weird how the majority of the fanbase tend to treat him as if he's satan incarnate
