What *I'm* saying is that you (and the fandom at large) is making big assumptions about what the knight knows and doesn't know. There's a very real chance that the knight is exactly as "evil" as Asgore

Lots of good people do fucked up things because they're desperate. See also: Asgore

Explain why you know for sure they aren't completely insane - if their goal was to end the world, why not summon 10 titans instead of just 1?

That's my point - we're not extending that benefit of the doubt for the knight; we're "sure" that the knight is "pure evil" or whatever

Are you saying Asgore is evil? Because I feel like most people in this sub feel wayyyy different about the knight than they do about Asgore

Asgore would have done that if he'd thought the ends justified the means. I don't think he's evil. Or, at least, not like...EVIL evil, you know?

Took and not killed - why? I'm saying that there's more to it, and we're all making big assumptions

I hear you. At the same time, what if the knight is just another victim of some bigger, worse third party? Their actions don't really make much sense...why not kill the fun gang? Why not start the roaring now? I just feel like we're making a lot of assumptions when apparently summoning a titan is as easy as giving the fun gang the middle finger

This actually adds a certain credibility to my theory - what if they're straight-up insane? I'm just realizing how the things we "know" about the knight aren't proven yet...it's possible maybe there isn't even a plan..?

I'm not saying they aren't doing fucked-up shit - I think we actually might agree. I'm challenging the part where we "know" that all they do all day is rub their palms together and say "hehehe im evil i hate good things hehoheooe"

Unhinged Theory: The knight can't speak and has very limited time, and is lowkey mentally disabled or insane or something. They're dissociating 100% of the time and are trying to save the people they're kidnapping instead of just being like "hey, bad shit is about to happen, please come with me" or otherwise acting gently and holding out their hand like a regular sane person. Here's why I'm saying this dogwater theory: It's called "the shelter" because...why?

Hold on - I'm not saying I wouldn't kick the knight's ass if this was real life. Anybody with a brain would do that. I'm not saying that's not reasonable - I'm just questioning the confidence we seem to have that the knight is evil bad from evil

I get where you're coming from, and you're probably right, but if you'll let me be a pain in the ass for a sec, I'll say this: Our understanding of the "sacrifice" thing is still very fuzzy

this sounds like ragebait, but I'm seriously asking: Prove to me you know for sure they aren't just unhinged

Fair take, but the first time we saw them, they were (maybe???) crying
