I thought it was the same case as Undertale with it just being Toby, didn't know he built a team for Deltarune.
I could see mew mew in a way but mettaton is just like the sort of glam rock and new wave thing of the late 70s and 80s.
Nah, there's direct mentions of the theme in the game itself, this is one of the few times that the trannies are probably correct. I suspect Toby is a rabid lefty (he's posted about BLM on his main twitter at some point, I believe). And there's plenty of themes in his game to correlate, not to mention his original 'in' at popularity was the Homestuck fandom, and likely had a ton of influence from Tumblr as well judging by the comedy in Undertale and a lot of the references it makes. I'm surprised there isn't MORE shit like that in his games. All things considered he made the game quite accessible by muting that side of him during it's development. The tranny mention is basically an obscure easter egg only found if you dig through every part of the game to find one item and a mention of where to go, where the implication of what it unlocks is that the Mettaton character was originally the ghost of a woman that eventually was put into the body of the robot by the scientist character Alphys. It's the excuse for why the robot has a "soul" and is instantly destroyed by the player character 'Frisk' during the genocide route of the campaign.
I'm surprised you didn't post a photo of Michael Jackson or even mention him lol.
The trans shit with mettaton seems looking too deeply into things with how the ghost houses are colored and shit Whether it was initially intended or not is anyone's guess, really. While we're on this mettaton tangent, i've always associated mettaton's bleeps with ben shapiro's voice lmao. His super anime bowie EXform though I'd just think sounds like bowie with the occasional ben shapiro breaking through.
Ironic Toby doesn't have a KiwiFarms thread. :/
There's an optional joke boss fight rematch with the mad dummy where the Mad dummy's ghost possesses a massive anime doll of the character alphys had hidden somewhere. The doll's face occasionally contorts into the fucking "KONO DIO DA!" Expression from Jojo and the ghost stays in the body because he thinks it's cool and will give him more power while simultaneously being completely unaware it was probably used sexually by alphys. Naturally because The ghost is in the Mew Mew doll it's now a "she" because it's referring to the doll as if it's the character from the anime despite it not actually being that. It's a bit more complex than just "TRANNNNNNS!!!" But it could easily be taken as a trans thing.
Haven't seen the scene itself but man that's reeally pushing it. (As in, Sans is Ness level of fan theory)
This is like the people that assumed papyrus was a starman from Mother/Earthbound and Sans was literally fucking Ness because the game is full of Earthbound references and easter eggs. Toby's first 'game' was a mod to Earthbound. He's a superfan. That's about it.
If anything, the things from what could be perceived as "trans" stuff in Undertale runs counter to current day trans narratives about erasing the past and deadnaming and how the person before no longer exists. Instead it's framing the soul of the person more important than whatever gendershit. Mettaton and the Mad dummy are still very much the same characters no matter what body or appearance they take on physically, to the point where you can instantly recognize who they are by dialogue and personality alone. It's kinda wholesome in a way.
No I feel like this is more closer to all the Gaster theories, there is tons of evidence for why he could be the father of Sans and Papyrus the main ones being his name/the way he speaks (aka Wing Dings), his appearance (or at least what we think he looks like), Sans building some contraption to supposably go back in time and the fact that the snowdin shop owner just says both Sans and Papyrus showed up out of the middle of nowheres. (and we know that almost all memory of Gaster was erased)
IIRC it was a "power scaling thing" Because Papyrus' rip pattern was proposed as "SKELETON GAME MUSIC" And Undertale on top of that I guess would be too enticing for people. I always felt the King for a day events were rigged to some degree as they had the winner I predicted would win both times, and strange stuff like this would occasionally happen with characters. The shit that happened with Missingno. really felt forced before he got knocked out in the semifinals. There's no way in hell people wanted just S P O O P Y slowed/reversed versions of songs with audio glitches Most of the only good "missingno" songs that got released were the ones where it was supposed to be a stylistic crossover with another option.
Yeah the king for a King for a Day tournaments were kind of weird with their character selection and what music/rips they have, like some of the characters just feel like they were added to fill up the roster, a good example being HOBaRT.
The votes for meme Team were 100% legit and I refuse to believe anything else
Here's the full battle if you're interested. It introduces a new soul mode too, which I thought was neat.
I mean, some lines are suspect but it still seems like a stretch.
Do you have any info or examples of said autism? This thread is kinda starved of actual info or unintentional funnies lately. I'm legit still waiting on that guy that said he knew some more interesting things about siIvas happenings and then never posted again.
Man I'm still wanting for the context to what Coolio55 meant by there being a troon working on Deltarune.
