At least the leaders are chosen by popular vote, and the vast majority of humans aren't stupid enough to choose someone who will end the world. And same thing for monsters... Except in the case of monsters, you don't have to be a leader to destroy all of humanity. Even a Froggit could do it, and they can't even understand humans!

Something else about that analogy. No matter who strikes first, if a nuclear war starts, EVERYBODY's going to die. And everybody dying is what we want to AVOID.

In the case of monsters, however, if humans attack first, they won't be able to kill the humans, as they'll be determined! Remember, the stats of monsters are influenced by their feelings, and intentions. They're also influenced by OURS. Monsters are weaker when we're the ones fighting THEM. I mean, how easy is it to kill Asgore in the Genocide Route?!

But, if we let them strike first, the stats are different.. And giving them the first strike pretty much guarantees they'll kill someone, absorb their soul, and end the world. Because while a mob of humans can overthrow an evil dictator.. A mob of monsters cannot kill an evil monster who absorbed a human.. The resistance will be killed easily.

So actually, the monsters are safer underground too! Maybe our ancestors should have made it so we couldn't fall through into the mountain at all to prevent either a Genocide Run, or monsters killing the human and destroying everyone anyway. Yes, I said a Genocide Run. Like I said in a previous post, if we can guarantee peace WITHOUT destroying the other race, it's generally best to do so. And when monsters are literally incapable of meeting humans, we should just keep it that way instead of killing them. We should have CLOSED OFF Mt. Ebott, so the eight kids would have never fell..
