Well, time to defend Gaster's philosophy.







Let's say Frisk is fighting a monster. They're low on HP, they're out of food, and they can't come back after death.

If Frisk dies here, the seventh SOUL is taken, and the monsters go to war with humanity.

And not all monsters can be spared. Think of Undyne or Mettaton. Neither of them stopped fighting with Frisk until they reached their physical limits.







Refusing to fight would end in Frisk's death, and would cause a second war with humanity. There are many casualties in a war. Many would perish.



Killing this monster and crossing the barrier would prevent this second war; doing far more good than sparing the life of a single person.







What would you do? Would you commit to the pacifist run and refuse to fight, knowing that doing so would cause hundreds to perish? Or would you kill this monster and save countless lives?





The choice not to fight loses its meaning when said choice results in the deaths of others, especially since you would've known the result of either choice.
