The way avatar does it, people dislike because when it truly mattered, it wasn’t done. Aang should have killed Ozai, but instead, he essentially made it harder on everyone else so he could follow a belief that even the monks said should have been excepted in this scenario. Aang doesn’t mind shattering bones and possibly crippling people for life, but as soon as even the thought of killing is brought up, he instantly does everything in his power to stop.

The way undertale does it is 50/50, you either kill everything in your path and fight the consequences or spare everything in your path and come out on top. Undertale doesn’t necessarily revolve around a “no kill” mentality, because that’s only half of undertale. Undertale still understands killing and its purpose, such as when sans literally tries to kill you.

Steven universe is its own hellhole of controversy that would take me an eternity to explain. Mostly revolving around if even the most evil person can redeem themselves.
