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 would guess this is also somewhat a "woman are wonderful" effect, where consciously or not people believe the optimal form a character could reach is being a woman, and thus not a man. Susie being a trans man would be a downgrade, Ralsei being a trans woman would be an upgrade. These perspectives are definitely not extremely transphobic.

This pisses me off so fucking much, because I was born as a man, and I have absolutely no desire to transition. For some reason, this makes a decent percentage of the people who are supposed to be my fucking allies (leftists) hate me, or at least, think I'm a creep, predator, aggressor, or other violent label that isn't even remotely true.

I'm just a regular masc boy, but yeah, most people I meet in real life are normal, but I've also met people like this irl.
