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)

Hey dude you should look up this crazy idea called "transgender" it's where you change your gender, so Ralsei would start with he/him pronouns and then switch. It's a crazy concept I know.

Chapter 5 centers around a gay couple and has been building up to it since chapter 2. undertale has extremely heavy handed trans themes with Mettaton. Are we not going to even address the chapter 5 mew-mew fight?
