Gaming I hate Trans Ralsei Theory

Even if we ignore the numerous times he has been referred to as he/him, a boy, a guy, a dude, a prince, we must also realize that just because he isn't traditionally masculine, he isn't transmasc (or transfem)

There is no Easter Bunny, there is no Tooth Fairy, and there is no Princess from the Dark.

'Oh but Deltarune is all about breaking free from fate' I can hear exactly two of you say in your heads (I can read your mind,) I know one thing, and it's that I can't break free from the fate of going through Undertale 2 and finding that both routes lead to the same goddamn ending of Gaster Friend Inside Me Penumbra Phantasm Big Shot World Revolving Jarona Shadow Crystal Always Bet On Papyrus Knight.

ZHOTAN!

(Also, I'm not transphobic, before you try to spew that label onto me)

Who thought he was transmasc?

It'd be a big brain play for sure.

those kinds of transmasc readings are always so funny to me

points at saddest, most hideously repressed "boy" ever written: "i think this character went through the long soul-searching process of gender transition offscreen and is now living as their authentic self so thoroughly that neither they nor anyone else literally ever even brings it up because of how not big a deal it was"

It was a meme at one point. Going like „what if Flowery is just transphobic when he calls Ralsei princess“. I didn’t know there’s people genuinely believing it.
