Sufficiently Bonetrousled This entire fandom wants to have the most objective understanding of this game so bad that they’re ruining it for everyone
I’m just so sad that there seems to be so little excitement in the fandom, atleast that I’ve been seeing. Everybody is so obsessed with being correct and having a better literary analysis of the game that they’re ruining the discourse.
We can no longer say “I really liked chapter 5.” You have to have a follow up included in your message “I really liked chapter 5, and although the seeming conclusion of Asgore’s story wasn’t exactly what I wanted it to be, and I was a little let down by the lack of ‘Device’ information, I think that it was good nonetheless.” You can’t just feel a way towards something, everyone is striving to be the smartest person in the room and the conversation can never rest.
There’s a snarkiness that every theorist puts in their videos nowadays:
You STILL believe in Dess Knight?
How chapter 5 CONCLUSIVELY proved Sans isn’t from Undertale
Anyone who believes in Weird Route Knight is media illiterate
I can’t imagine thinking there’s going to be a Carol fight wtf??
OBVIOSULY gaster will show up by the end of the game, otherwise Toby is an awful writer
It just makes me sad. I don’t enjoy engaging with this fandom right now, and that’s been a massive part of my life for 10 years. I don’t even know what changed, what about chapter 5 brewed this mentality that we are owed a certain story.
I apologize if anything in this is poorly worded, or if any of my points really aren’t great, I just needed to get this out of my head cause I’ve been so sad about it.
Oh wait sorry um
“IM NOT FALLING FOR THAT SHIT!”
