I’m not willing to look through the fandom and risk something like Rule34 popping up out of no where (I’m pretty sure Deltarune’s won’t be a kid’s game because they say, uh (Remembers Undertale is E10+... and I don’t want to swear ever anyways)... donkey. Yeah you connect the dots. But I DO know Undertale is AND has R34 because everyone talks about it (I’m not willing to look that spit up) and I remember once when I was browsing cute fanart on Safari (No I don’t use Google), and inappropriate Fontcest (one of my least favorite ships because incest) art pop up and I was like NOPE and left. So yeah... even when you aren’t even looking for shipping art (let alone sinful art) 34 can sneak up on you and try to make you want to bleach your eyes out) and I’m lazy anyways. Though I DID find a funny comic where Kris, Susie, and Ralsei were fighting a tentacle Monster labeled Rule 34 and it was just plain funny.

And that leads to my question: Is Deltarune’s fandom better than Undertale’s? Note: By “is it better?” I mean “does it have less cringe?”. I’m not asking which has more GOOD content, I’m basically asking which one had more BAD content

I’m not a member of the Deltarune fandom, but from what I’ve seen there’s quite a bit of good content in it. Like, actually funny content. Also, none of Deltarune's characters have gotten the Sans treatment yet (When one character becomes so popular they basically become the face of the game. They have the most fangirls, and win popularity contests by a LANDSLIDE. When people make AUs, they’re almost always put in an important role (Or well, more important than in the original) and are sometimes the only character! In those cases, that version of them is so different it’s pretty much impossible to see how they’re the same character except for in their appearance and maybe some backstory elements are linked. Those characters either have that label stuck on them pointlessly for all eternity, or the creator eventually realizes how different they really are and removes that label but most people either don’t know or don’t realize it and so they keep calling the OC an alt of that overrated character. And funnily enough, the fanbase never seems to portray the character completely correctly and sometimes have little to no resemblance to the real character). I’ve seen fangirls of Ralsei, Jevil, Lancer, Kris, and even SUSIE (Well, like 1-2 for her). I know that Papyrus and Asriel have gotten fangirls before (and I think Asgore has 1) but it’s almost entirely Sans and I think most of the Papyrus fangirls are AU fangirls and/or even SHARED WITH SANS. About AUs (Well, AUAUs since Deltarune is basically an AU of Undertale... even if with anything like AUAUs I still just say “AU” to keep things simple because otherwise I’d have to call stuff like Shattered Dreamswap an AUAUAU)... well, Deltarune isn’t even finished yet so I’d say it’s a bit too early to make AUs of it. I’ve seen some AUs of it made already though (And some are copies of Undertale AUs basically rather than original content to fit Deltarune. Like seriously, I’m not sure how Deltafell and Horrorune work), and well... the closest thing to the UTAU (Not the voicebank thing. I’m just using an acronym) Sanspocalypse is a Yandere Ralsei AU. Even then, that’s only ONE AU.

... I hope that if this fandom isn’t as cancerous as Undertale’s it’ll stay that way. In case it doesn’t, well... ENJOY IT WHILE YOU STILL CAN

Can anybody in the Deltarune Fandom clarify for me anything please? And to those same people, remember to warn others that Deltarune still has a chance to not be considered a garbage fandom. Please. It just seems like everything Toby Fox touches (Homestuck and Undertale. I don’t know about Earthbound but that’s not something he officially worked on so it might not really count) ends up with an infamously cancerous fandom. I feel like Deltarune gives us a CHANCE to change that

I can’t force you to do anything but still

Now to pretend I have a life
