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??

Yes, but the all knowing magical prophecy that knows how everything ends would know wouldn't it? He wouldn't be a PRINCE from the dark, not to mention the evidence for the theory is about as strong as fucking pirate gaster theory (circumstantial at best and nonsense at worst) the theory doesn't make sense and doesn't fit in the narrative and there isn't enough time to do anything with it without taking away from other important things like the Knight, Kris's relationship to them, Noelle and Susie, and a ton of other loose threads that need to be cleaned up there isn't time to do a whole new thing on top of all that, if they are gonna make a trans character they will do it RIGHT and there isn't enough time to do that in the story
