Finally, someone gets it. I hate it when people demonize Genocide Route players, I call them "zealots". Undertale was meant to be a deconstruction of the RPG genre with the theme "What if the enemies were people? They have a right to live too." and it guilt-trips the player if they choose to play the 'evil' way by ruining these people's lives for entertainment. However, it should be obvious that the villain is the role you play, not the actual person playing the game. Being evil within a game doesn't mean that you are like that in real life. Also, ust because the player is to blame for the Genocide Route doesn't mean that the Pacifist Route has any less meaning. People do not just play Pacifist "because I don't want to be guilt tripped" nor "to get the zealots to not hate me". Pacifist has just as much meaning as Genocide. The role of the Player in Undertale is not confined to a single person, but many different people. Some people like Pacifist, others like Genocide, while some are in-between. Just like fandoms (especially UT's), we shouldn't generalize the whole group just because of their evils. That is why the humans banished the monsters underground, after all.
