"Damning an entire race for the actions of one is wrong - this point should at least stop you from saying stuff like the monsters had it coming - it's one thing to say the sealing is necessary and another to suggest they all deserved it"

It's less-"They deserved it" and more "They should really just get sealed already, to protect both themselves and us." (One evil monster could absorb a human SOUL and kill the rest of the monsters with it too-Tne monsters too are protected by being sealed.)

"It doesn't justify the murder of many innocent monsters - just put on trial the offendor(s) and seal the rest, that would be proportional"

Why do you think we accepted the monsters' surrender instead of just killed them off too? We declared war to FORCE them to get sealed. Pretty sure the monsters weren't just going to seal themselves.. They didn't-We had to do that FOR them, and ALL of them had to be sealed, or else the entire point of the sealing is nullified. The war was for the barrier.

"This is consistent with even the most powerful characters' actions - OmegaFlowey with 6 human souls (and no soul of his own) could destroy the underground rewrite save files etc cannot destroy the barrier, and Asriel, despite him having even greater power, only varely meets the requirements for barrier destruction."

Yes. For BARRIER destruction. they could still easily destroy all of humanity if there was no barrier, ala Chara nearly destroying all of humanity before Asriel resisted. THIS is the kind of thing that would eventually happen, except with the monster NOT resisting, and actually killing off the villagers too, absorbing THEIR SOULs, and becoming more powerful than the God of Hyperdeath. They'd then gain FULL control of the timeline, and would wipe humanity out.

"7 Billion should find it childs play to protect themselves if a handful of monsters aquire human souls, thus rendering their actions excessive, unjust and unnecessary"

With a barrier? Yes. Without one? No. Like with Asriel Dreemurr, they'd easily be killed off, with the monsters then gaining even more power.

"By your logic, humans should live separately too - we see what OmegaFlowey with 6 human souls could do- imagine what a single cruel and stupid human could do, surrounded by countless targets!"

Separately from monsters? If so, well, why do you think we tried cloing of Mt. Ebott? We didn't WANT humans falling down. Because yes, a human COULD kill off all those monsters, and who knows what would happen if they absorbed a Boss Monster SOUL? I'd call that also the biggest mistake of the seven mages-Just make the barrier two-way! What's so hard about that? If you mean from other humans, remember-A human cannot absorb another human SOUL, just as a monster cannot absorb a monster SOUL. Therefore, the whole SOUL-absorption thing isn't a problem.

"the power disparity means the humans should find it no harder to handle than when evil humans acquire fellow human souls for criminal activity, for example"

They CAN'T. Humans can't absorb other human SOULs, as confirmed by the True Lab entries.
