I guess I'll just have to accept that I won't get my nice, "logical" explanation for why the events transpire the way they do. I still don't like the Genocide ending to be honest. I stand by my statement that it feels like something that was just added in to make for a shocking ending that doesn't make too much sense, but that's a seperate matter entirely.

You argued your points well, I must give that to you! Do you usually engage in these sorts of disscussions? I'd disagree rather strongly that the Genocide ending was added in for shock value, or that it doesn't (properly speaking) "make sense." There will be some issues with minor details here and there, such as what you are pointing to, but there is plenty of evidence that Toby put a lot of thought into the major story elements. But I won't go any further into that unless you want to, since it is tangential to the topic at hand. Sorry, I kind of forgot this thread existed.

I agree that it's evident Toby Fox put  lot of thought in to most plot points. However, if it's impossible to get an in-universe justification for why or how something happens (our attempts at doing so have been pretty futile), then I think that's enough to say that it was "forced".

I disagree that this is, as you put it, a "minor detail". The explanation for why the ending happens is very important, and the fact that's it doesn't fit with the rest of what we're told is a good reason to dislike the ending.

I have issues with Chara as a whole to be honest. They're my least favorite character (not because of "OH MY GOSH; THEY'RE SO EVIL!"), but simply because I feel like I don't know enough about them to care. Asriel says ""
