I always thought the other side was a lot more obnoxious to be honest. You cannot mention undertale outside of a designated fan community without getting something along the lines of "undurtale is overhyped garbage fnaf is better!!!!" Personally, i'd chalk it up to people taking silly things that don't really matter way too seriously. Also, to the sparing mechanics credit, I think it's moreso that having such a thing in RPGs is rare, where it's typically a slaughter fest.

If I had to criticize Undertale, I'd say sparing the  bosses is inrcedibly counter-intuitive, with only the vaguest hints about what you're supposed to do (or in some cases, such as Undyne, none at all.) I think the first time, I was barely sure if it was even possible to spare most of them. I also feeling like the length the game goes to guilt tripping you is way too extreme-There's a lot of content, but only like 20% of it you're actually supposed to see.

Honestly, I feel like people deal with this problem by basically declaring war on this part of the fandom, which only makes it ten times worse.
