Before you go and say "OMGEEE YOU HATE SANS?! YOU GONNA HAVE BAD TIMEEEEEE!!!" hear me out. If you like Sans then good for you, I respect your opinion, so please respect mine.

Dont get me wrong, I adore all the main cast in Undertale. However, there is one character I have mixed feelings about: You guessed it, Sans. My perspective of Sans is pretty much ruined by his fanbase. As well as that, he is not the Gary Stu they make him out to be. As every other character he has FLAWS! Shocking, isnt it?

First issue: Fangirls. Not all fangirls are bad! Im talking about the edgy teens that have a Sans body pillow in their room and think they can be a fictional character's girlfriend and wife at the same time and act like yanderes on the internet threatening to kill you if you so much as look at Sans. This might not have to do with the character himself but it really kills your opinion on a character.

Second issue: He is overrated. I go on the internet and it is all Meglovania this and Megalovania that. I can think of over TEN themes better than Megalovania *cough cough Battle Against A True Hero cough cough*. Also every time you have an opinion different from the Sans Fans (lol) then you are sure to have a "bad time" (as if they can physically hurt me with an online post). Besides, if you think about it, there are way better characters. This last point leads to my third issue:

Third issue: Sans as a character. Finally I will be diving into his character (if you can call it that). Sans has little to no character development at all. Not that many characters actually DO develop very much. A perfect example of character development in Undertale is Alphys. In the True Pacifist route she goes from shy and depressed to more confident and finally telling the truth to the Amalgamates families. This is why Alphys is one of my favorite characters. Sans however just appears randomly in the game with no affect on the story and has a hard boss fight. Yup, that's Sans in a nutshell. In his fight we learn why he is so lazy and stuff but that's hardly an excuse for actual character. The story could function perfectly fine without Sans. You may say "but what about the final boss of genocide?" hey, Asgore has six human souls so if he actually ABSORBED THEM like he was TOLD TO he could be a challenging final boss of the genocide route. Sans is sort of just ''there. ''Oh cool you get to go on a date with him at MTT Resort yet have no affect on the plot? K. I do like it when you get your butt whooped by Sans in genocide but other than that he ends up being almost as bland as Froggit.

Once again, I DO NOT hate Sans! He is just a bland character when compared to the other main cast. If you love Sans, I think thats fine. Im not gonna go bully you for having an opinion, so dont hate me for mine. If you disagree with my opinion then you can tell me, just not like "OMG BILLYBOBJOE GO DIE IN A HOLE AND HAVE A BAD TIME". Thank you for listening to my opinion.
