Imagine expecting the guy who wrote an mpreg Homestuck song to have writing that's 100% serious all the time when his games have never been that.

I know it's probably because I'm older than the average vocal Deltarune fan, but it's so funny how opposite I feel about Deltarune when I see takes like this.

I actually prefer the lighthearted parts over the darker parts. I am so, so burnt out on the barrage of self-serious writing flooding the media landscape at the moment. Not everything has to be some deep humorless mysterybox about trauma 100% of the time. I mean, yeah, the game obviously has some pretty serious story elements but if it was only that it would be god awful. The humor balances it out.

If anything, the world needs this 2010s tumblr ass silliness at the moment and I find it to be a breath of fresh air against how performatively mature and dark a lot of writing for stuff is at the moment.

Yeah, see, i think Berdley is actually hillarious. I've seen several friends of mine do Deltarune letsplays and the Berdley parts always had all of us in stitches. The other girls n me were actually joking about birds with nipples in VC just yesterday. It's cool and good to make fun of misogynists, Berdley is a spot-on way to do that while still remaining lighthearted enough and while i've tried my best to explain my stance to you instead of becoming hostile, i must say i find it extremely weird and sus when i see somebody get this defensive about the reddit gamer misogynist carricature.

I don't think it's productive to assume other people are bigoted based on whether or not they like the same fictional characters as you.

I've handled you with kiddie gloves throughout this exchange and honestly, i don't think you should tell trans women when we're allowed to keep our guard up.

Edit: No, you know what? no. You're trying to pick a fight, and I don't think that's productive either. If you want a fight about whether or not people are bigots based on what deltarune characters they like, it's not gonna be with me. I'm out.
