(2) Its even worse with deltarune because now people are like "oh no, kris and susie busted their asses off defeating the titan while toriel was dating sans, how could she!?" and stuck so hard to it that they exaggerate most of her actions to pretend she's in the wrong somehow
"She didnt care about kris!!1", from her pov, kris was prob just hanging out with susie just like they did yesterday, and trusted that susie would take care of them
"How dare she go out with sans instead of asgore!?!??!" as if toriel isnt allowed to move on from a divorce?? Like bro, toriel has a life, she wont just bedrot her entire life over a divorce we dont even know why it even happened
"She let kris go out even through its dangerous!!1" Kris has already been out and safe without any complications, toriel doesnt know about undyne's disappearance, and sure, the tires slash thing is odd and did go unexplained, but like, cmon, undyne has stated that hometown's been pretty boring lately, implying that crime rate is extremely low, in which case, there isnt much to worry about, as susie can just defend kris if anything happens, one explanation COULD be that kris told toriel that they slashed the tires, which would make sense since from toriel's pov, the cops never appeared (she was asleep the entire time), but enough speculation, theres no reason for her not to trust susie in protecting kris
"She didnt let kris sleep from doing the jitterbug!!" Ignoring the fact that this is brought up most of the time to dig on toriel and not the sober guy purposefully letting the party go on all night (sans), she was fuckin drunk, its not hard to see why she wouldnt notice, if anything its sans' fault for not taking responsibility and stopping the party for kris' sake, her decision making abilities arent exactly good when you're drunk yknow
And sure, these reasons for hating toriel may seem logical at first, and you could see why many would demonize her without considering the bigger picture, (3)
