People give Asgore so much shit for not taking a soul and killing six people to accomplish his goals.

Asgore just declared war against humans because he lost two children in one day. Then he realized that he couldn't go back on his statement because his people had hopes to see the sun again. So he came up with the plan that would slow down the process as much as possible- waiting for humans to fall down.

Notice that he clearly doesn't want to fight a pacifist or neutral Frisk, repeatedly offering Frisk a chance to run away. And he keeps his people happy, whether it be by getting his ass beat by Undyne or acting as Santa Claus. This is all despite the fact that his family left him voluntarily or otherwise.

When he destroys the Mercy button, he's not doing it because he doesn't want Frisk to flee. It's because he doesn't want to be forgiven for his sins.

How about blaming Toriel for abandoning the kingdom where she could've made a difference? Everyone seems to think that she's flawless, but she just up and left Asgore and the kingdom instead of doing something about it in the one place where it matters.
