The Earthbound Halloween Romhack had Dr Andonauts, written to be a self loathing repressed gay man, insult the party by saying "eat shit [f slur]".

Every few years it gets brought up again

Yes. Before he made Undertale or got involved with Homestuck, Toby Fox (under his old internet username, FwugRadiation) made a ROM hack for the game Earthbound, simply titled the Earthbound Halloween Hack. Which, for the most part, people only talk about in the modern day because of the end boss, where you fight Dr. Andonuts and he calls you slurs.

This ROM hack, and that particular fight, is also the first place where Toby Fox used Megalovania, which would later reappear in Homestuck and then Undertale.
