"Including me, if you haven't noticed yet. Their world is real, with no meta nonsense at play. There are no invisible attacks, no turns, no physical buttons, nothing that would imply the presence of a game interface. That's what I've been saying for the longest time."

Which is also the problem, you keep excluding canon aspects when trying to adhere to canon. You keep disregarding things that are blatantly referenced and spoken of as real within the games world, things that I have kept telling you are naturally occurring things within the world that have already been questioned, answered, and accepted by the time the events we see in the game happen.

Again, a universe with different laws, rules, and principles than our own, is the basic concept of an Alternate Universe. That is what Undertale is. I keep telling you the only way to exclude the meta, the same way that you, I, and THA agree on, but you keep insisting on the "it's a game here, so it's a game there" mentality.

To remove the meta, simply take out all of the double meta meanings, and think of everything else as natural laws of the world. It's that bloody hell simple; heck, even the player is explained in universe as the Anomaly. Everything has an in-universe explanation.
