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)

Mf you do realize Ralsei being referred to as male doesn't debunk the possibility of him transitioning to female, right?? What, do you think all trans people insist they be called by their correct identity the exact moment they pop out of the womb??

The game doesn't really explain any of this, so it all falls under fan canon rather than official canon. I could say the same thing about Susie — that she doesn't act feminine enough, so she must be a transmasc. And that would sound just as strange. Why you resort to aggression when your point of view is questioned—that’s a more reasonable question.
