game is 'intended' to be played as pacifist with a creepypasta-esque 'kill everyone' route as sort of meta commentary on the indiscriminate murder of video game NPCs, the need to see things to arbitrary completion and doing things 'just because you can', even tainting your game for future pacifist routes to further hammer the message (this is assuming you take the game and its story at face value)
ive seen people play through the game only killing a couple of NPCs which is probably the worst way to go about it because if you kill, you have to redo the whole game over before you can try for the actual ending
>the game and marketing saying 'hi please dont kill people', literally refers to it in a tongue in cheek way as 'the friendly rpg where no one has to die'
>characters say 'please dont kill people, i know theyre monsters and you have gamer brain but just consider them in a different light for once'
>player: im killing this guy, he's annoying
>"you dont get the 'real' ending, sorry"
>WOOOWW DUDE HOW I WAS I SUPPOSED TO KNOW I WASNT SUPPOSED TO KILL PEOPLE

if you get low enough, she stops trying to actually hurt you and gets sad before letting you through. and like the other guy said, its early enough in the game for you to restart without losing a bunch of progress if you kill her intentionally or accidentally, especially because flowey will grill you for redoing your save if you regret killing her
its a symptom of people not wanting to 'lose' and see the game over screen, they will run from the fight before getting too low or get impatient and not see her reluctance to attack
