So every now and then I see posts from various Undertale fans expressing horror over the events of a No Mercy Run and wishing that they could fight Chara/The Fallen Child and kill them.
And these posts always leave me pretty >: because like… I’m a big advocate of the point of the No Mercy run being that the tragic events are the fault of the person playing the game, and also the characterization of Chara/TFC being more complex than “they were an irredeemable demon all along,”
but even putting aside those thoughts, I can’t help but wonder how in the hell anyone, after watching or playing through a route that demonstrates, over and over and over and over again, that killing others is NOT the correct thing to do
can walk away from it going “Golly, I wish this storyline ended with me killing Chara! That would surely fix everything!”
honestly just really like undertale
