Y’all ever notice how the moral of Undertale is that children who are hit by adults shouldn’t fight back? Because I noticed it, and I wonder if it’s moralised passivity in the queer community, thus contributing to the abuse problem we have.

The canonical story indicates that she’s in the wrong for obstructing the child’s liberty. She’s a good example of a villain with misguided motivations.

Yeah, I killed that asshole. I beat her up, then offered her mercy. She refused to stand down and let Me leave, so I killed her.

I heard you can give her mercy by repeatedly pressing the “spare” button and dodging her attacks, but at that point, she doesn’t deserve it. Child-hitting kidnapper.

A girl lights a child on fire and you call her a monster. SMH.

(Though she’s technically not actually burning a child alive. Magic targets the soul, not the body.

Which sounds way worse, but in-universe, soul damage is a complete nothing-burger - by which I mean it’s nothing after eating a single burger. Magic damage is trivial to heal and doesn’t actually cause harm unless you hit 0 HP, which Toriel actively avoids doing to the player during that fight.)

Since children heal so quickly, beating them must be less unethical than beating up adults! According to that logic, anyway
