I hate Trans Ralsei Theory

[u/ProbodobodyneInc]

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)

Shockingly, before you transition people refer to you by your assigned gender (for example trans women were called "boys" at some point). Dont discuss us if you know nothing about us?

It's not about them being feminine like at all, you're just reducing it to its most meaningless version because you can't handle even the implication of queer people ¦P

We don't know what the ending situation is gonna be like, so far our choices did matter and game remembered them in code (we literally skip a whole chunk of the prophecy in the weird route) and EVEN THEN what does that have to do with anything? One ending doesn't stop characters from developing, Susie also changed a lot (and differently), why can't ralsei specifically?

I don't think they literally are trans (Toby doesn't write queer characters like that), but thematically 100% at this point. Just like the weird route is thematically about a religiously arranged/forced heteronormative romance of 2 explicitly queer characters. This game IS like this, I'm so sorry you have to witness our existence being implied in a more complicated manner than "haha girl with a dick" <333
