ppl hate dusttale WAY too much. at least the canon version (murder!sans by ask-dusttale), not the fanon version popularized by evan streblow's game or the comics made for it.
the main criticism is usually "sans would never kill" or "sans wouldn't even show up after learning about all the genocides" but you have to realize he canonically thought of everything he could do, it's official he likely hid at first, realized it wouldn't change, then tried getting help by others (undyne, asgore, possibly flowey). HE WAS CALLED CRAZY AND SHUT AWAY BY EVERYONE ... do you KNOW how bad that'd fuck someone up??? not to mention the fact he'd likely end up thinking that the human was just too strong at the corridor so he could beat them right after ruins JUST TO LOSE AGAIN AND AGAIN? disbelief could genuinely be a timeline of pre-murder sans dusttale!!!! all this just for him to realize he'd need to sacrifice others due to his own weakness AFTER COUNTLESS ATTEMPTS OF ANYTHING ELSE. ffs he even tried sacrificing only a little to just get enough LV to win, but due to the law of LV he obviously grew distant and lost his reasoning and morals!!!! sans was simply too weak to do anything else.
which brings me onto my next point: sans' strength, ppl CONSTANTLY downplay sans' strength due to the overhyping he got before. sans does NOT lose to a froggit or even anyone in snowdin. even doing 1 damage he'd likely beat everyone in snowdin excluding like papyrus. if he started there or (like dusttale) waterfall, he'd eventually get strong enough to handle bigger and badder monsters, which he can easily get to that point by off guarding and draining them. ig anyone was to ruin sans up it'd be two ppl: papyrus and undyne, undyne would be immediate to see the genocide and attack sans (and in fact has canonically) while he's at low LV, which if he plays bad could kill him. with papyrus it's more of an emotional thing, he likely didn't kill him several times until learning that the human would no matter what. eventually that would help his LV ridden mind choose to do such a thing.
murder!sans isn't an idiot. nor is dusttale bad. (in fact I personally think it's one of the better UT alt timelines)
