Gaming I hate Trans Ralsei Theory

Post image

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 don't call people transphobic over not agreei ng with trans theories, I call people transphobic because of how they react to it.

Getting irrationally angry that people see Ralsei as trans is a bit of a red flag.

Also...of course even if Ralsei WAS tranfem...why would any of the other characters know that????? Are you gonna say i'm not actually a trans man because the people in my life misgendered me my ehole life????? If you're gonna try and disprove the theory, that is a terrible example. "They call him a boy, so must be boy!"

I agree, any character that is either hinted at being trans or is an obvious trans allegory without being trans themselves gets a massive negative reaction. It's taken like a quarter century for the general public to even be open to the idea that The Matrix is a trans allegory, and only recently became accepted in the trans community
