My issue is that while you decry the practice of “cherry picking”, you’re very willing to selectively banish details you don’t like by declaring them “circumstantial evidence”.

Unlike Star Wars, which is a pretty straightforward action/adventure with some philosophy thrown in, Undertale, FNAF, and Steven Universe are all Mysteries.

This means the artist is playing a game with the theorist, where they hide clues, and dare the theorist to find them.

If a character in Star Wars likes using the left hand, maybe that isn’t earthshakingly important. Maybe it’s just a quirk.

But when you see Sans favor his left had in many different times in many different situations, we can be pretty certain that Toby is showing us this for a reason.

Sans being left-handed isn’t a fluke. Viewed in the context of a mystery, this is a clue.

In a mystery, going about and declaring Exterminatus on details you judge to be trivial is the fasted way to confound yourself.

Don’t forget Ron Weasley’s goofy pet rat turned out to be the guy the resurrected Voldemort.

This is why I cry foul about things like The Pink Guy.

In FNAF’s minimalist setting where the mere shade difference between two different Foxy heads could signal entirely different versions, the completely alien and opposite form of the square neck-less dark-eyed Magenta Man, and skeletal thin giraffe-necked round-framed White-eyed Purple Guy William Afton spirite stick out like a nuclear-powered flare!

The Pink Guy shows up twice in FNAF 2 for no less than two murders. While Purple Guy only shows up once.

The novels make a point of hammering home that Two Guys Run Freddy’s, and they wear the Fredbear and Spring Bonnie suits. And in FNAF 4 we see both of these suits in the back room... besides two bare robot heads. One head being round like William, and the other being square... like Henr—-Pink Guy.

This is not circumstantial evidence. It is VITAL evidence.

The two sprites are too alien on a basic level to be the same entity.
