It would only be BrokenAesop if there was a moment in the game where both violence and pacifist options are available, and the former is clearly and verifiably the better choice. There is not a single moment such as this in the game: the only times you are forced to use violence, [[spoiler:the battle against Asgore and Omega Flowey]], mercy is not on the table at all.

It would only be BrokenAesop if there was a moment in the game where both violence and pacifist options are available, and the former is clearly and verifiably the better choice - or if a nonplayer character were to use violence in some way and the game would demonstrate them to be in the right for it. There is not a single moment of either in the entire game: in the former, the only times you are forced to use violence, [[spoiler:the battle against Asgore and Omega Flowey]], mercy is not on the table at all; and in the latter, [[spoiler:in the backstory, it was Asriel\\\'s pacifism and refusing to fight back the humans, that averted another war and, quite possibly, a genocide or two]].

The game\'s Aesop, of course, is that violence is wrong. Some claim this Aesop is broken by enemies using violence against you, and they are quite factually wrong with that claim - all it means is that the enemies themselves have also not yet learned this Aesop, that they themselves believe violence can sometimes be justified. Indeed, in a Pacifist Run the player will teach them just that.

In the Pacifist Run, it\\\'s not just you as the player or your character that learns this lesson, but the monsters you encounter as well: by refusing to fight them, you give each of them, one after another, a different and far a better path.

BrokenAesop gets occasionally added to the YMMV page. Allow me to set the record straight as to why it is not an exampple - and should you still feel like it is, then feel free to dispute it here rather than keep on adding it at the page itself.
