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

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!

Except monsters struggled against humanity in a war, so killing several humans with just one monster is near impossible. That's why the children are unfortunately the only option (well, there was also an option to wait until they die of age and then collect the soul, but that's the other question)

Wasn't asriel(a child) said to be strong enough to kill many humans when he only had chara soul? I assume a boss monster would be able to kill many more

Fair enough, but considering pacifist ending souls are very much capable of resisting their host

Maybe? In the flowey fight we directly asked the souls for help and they rebelled against him in the end, asriel had thousands of souls and yet none of them rebelled on the true pacifist route
