I really agree with this. For a character who could have perfectly been taken out of the story, Sans is so damn overrated and popular that I kinda decided to not care about the fanbase's creations. All you freakin see in comic dubs is just Sans this and Sans that, and remember how insane Man on the Internet went after so many people wouldn't stop pestering him about Megalovania during Undertale the Musical? I get that he has something of a personality, but the game could function perfectly without him, at the cost of maybe Papyrus but he could have had another friend with him like Monster Kid. Also don't mention Gaster, either. Sans is not confirmed at all to be related to Gaster. It's all just a theory in the end. I think the main flaw with him is that he isn't treated like a legitimate entity just as Papyrus, Alphys, and Undyne were. The other 3 had much more development. Papyrus needed a legitimate friend to show him how it really felt to be loved, Undyne needed someone to show her that humanity wasn't what she thought it was, and Alphys needed someone to help her face her fears and tell the truth. What does Frisk do for Sans? Nothing, because ignoring all his stuff completely is not going to change anything.
