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)

I simply don't understand why theories about characters being trans get SO MUCH hate
I have NEVER seen the Deltarune community being so hateful in my life.
I am personally neutral on that theory, but as a trans girl I don't feel welcome in the community anymore.
Why do people feel so angered at the thought of Ralsei being trans??? Why do they say that it's immoral and it's only reinforcing stereotypes??? As if being trans is conformative?!?!? Why so many posts about how much they hate it???
I think that as a community we should pause, take a breath, and reflect on WHY this is the ONLY THEORY that ever got the community so angered.
