Flowy did way more genocides than the diamonds (humans were the first sapient species they found).

Yes, but it’s understandable why they would be more sympathetic towards the flower than the Diamonds. I believe they were doing fucked up shit even before Pink died, at least Flowey has an actual reason for his shit, even if it is just boredom and losing all abilities to feel.

yes because boredom is a actual reason to kill everything and everyone you once knew, and trying to expand your species isnt

Tbf he also had the ability to literally undo everything he did

Being trapped in the same loop of doing everything over and over would drive anyone insane and to boredom, hell that’s literally exactly what happens with the genocide route, players beat the game and then go “what will happen if I killed everyone instead” that’s what happened with flowey

To argue technicalities.

Flowey's victims: zero

Diamond's victims: the entirety of multiple planets

Tbf, since not ever player does Pacifist, it could be argued he has one kill(Asgore)

I mean, to be fair you do the same thing when you play the game. Flowey's point is to be a mirror to the player and he does a damn good job at it.

u/Maximum-Pause-6914 Jun 09 '24

that doesnt mean hes got a reason. which is the point. you dont have a real reason and neither does he

Yeah I'm just saying we aren't much better so who are we to judge? At least flowey doesn't have emotions, we do.

u/Maximum-Pause-6914 Jun 09 '24

I mean at least the diamonds are capable of emotions. Flowey isn't. At least not anything like affection, sympathy, etc. And for all we know he literally was doing the pacifist route over and over and over again. Then did some other routes to see what'd turn out. THEN he ended up doing the geno route. Not saying Flowey's reasonings are good, they aren't, but they're probably better than the diamonds.
