Jul. 27th, 2023 03:24 pmIn retrospect, the “Undertale Prime” post is dumb as hell. The idea behind the post is that pacifism in Undertale is stupid because it relies on your position as a player, while Frisk the character has every reason to fight back against people who try to kill him. But you’re not playing as Frisk! You’re explicitly playing as you, an entity beyond the Undertale universe who uses Frisk as an avatar. Sans directly asks whether you, as a godlike figure who controls the flow of time for Undertale’s characters, have a responsibility to them that Frisk doesn’t have.
To be clear, I dislike Undertale and think the meta stuff is dumb. But you need to at least engage with it if you’re going to criticize it.

Jul. 27th, 2023 03:43 pmMultiple times now, I’ve seen a post by
afloweroutofstone that was like “we can fix this social issue by changing the law,” and the reply I’ve ended up agreeing with is the one that says “that doesn’t fix the social issue of people choosing to make laws that cause social issues.” Turtles all the way down . . .
