Why Undertale's Genocide Path is JUSTIFIABLE | Undertale Theory | UNDERLAB - Summary

Summary

The speaker presents an argument for justifying the genocide route in the video game Undertale, where the player character kills every monster in the underground. They acknowledge that this route is often seen as the most evil path, but claim that it can be justified from the human character's perspective. The speaker points out that many monsters in the game are hostile and attack the player character without provocation, and that some characters, such as Toriel and Undyne, are hypocritical in their actions. They also argue that some monsters, such as Alphys and Mettaton, have questionable motivations and behaviors. The speaker concludes that, from the human character's perspective, it is fair to retaliate against the monsters with an equal level of force, especially considering that they are trying to escape the underground and return to the surface. However, the speaker also acknowledges that this is just one possible interpretation and that they personally prefer the pacifist route.
