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 wouldn't mind if in chapter 6 or 7 toby will say ralsei is trans, but right now it feels disrespectful as much as people calling kris "he/she/him/her"

The character has a canonical identity/pronouns. It doesn't matter if you decided a cis is trans or gay is straight or whatever, you are forcing your ideas that contradicts the character, and often get angry when people disagree with you

You also can’t just forcefully shove trans people out of the closet.

And you can’t act as if a theory is actually canon unless it gets proven correct
