"But only the members of the royal guard did, meaning the rest of the population probably doesn't even know what a human looks like."

So the exact people who should be reacting to your being a human, and ordinary monsters not, equals everyone but that small group is an oblivious idiot? That is a MASSIVE stretch.

For one, it's explicity stated that the monsters are the one initiating the fight. Even if you yourself are looking for them in Genocide, that doesn't change that THEY are the ones initiating the conflict. And seeing as how they're stated to do this so that they can get your soul, that means that most monsters can clearly tell that you're human.

As for the overworld monsters, you're seeing a human, who could have only gotten this far from going through royal guard outpost. Meaning that the proper authorities know that the human is here among them; you also know that they can't attack you without being in a fight. Why in the world would you act anything but pleasant to them if you clearly have a surefire way of doing things peacefully? You can't speak for everyone else, but you can for yourself and a few (many) others that you do know follow the same line of thought.

Hold on a minute, don't the Temmies know you're human?

"Ergo, the last option for them recognizing us would be through the HUD if they can't tell by our overworld appearance, but that didn't happen either. But then, that means they aren't familiar with the HUD, etc, they should have reacted to it but didn't, etc, etc, mind control, etc etc etc..."

Again, seven humans already fell before Frisk. One of which was their poster child for their hope of escape, a tale involving that human is renowned throughout the whole kingdom. I find the idea that they suddenly forgot what a human looks like after all of this rather ludicrous. I can understand the younger generation, but definitely not the older.

"I'm seriously repeating myself for the last time here. It's such a simple and logical conclusion, I don't even remember what do you two still have against it."

There's nothing supporting your mind control theory.

Why don't they react to the HUD? Because they already know about it and how it works, at least from their side of things.

Why doesn't anyone remark on how you're a human? Because most already know what a human looks like, and the only ones that genuinely won't are the younger generation, like Monster Kid.

Why are the RG the only ones to react to your being human? Because it's their job to catch humans and protect monsters NOT on the RG.
