I feel a VERY strong need to appeal on this thread this instant.

I have every desire to enjoy and love this game. Even if it feels like just one of those indie story-telling game, in my very opinion, it left me with tremendous impact as I understand the game, as well as the consequences for every action I made in the game. I was certain Undertale is very important to me.

I want to put in some more insights, but that's not my current intention in this post right now.

On the tournament "Best game ever 2015" hosted on GameFAQs (currently ongoing), where your vote determines the best games, Undertale managed to stay after 3 rounds of elimination. During the course of elimination, Undertale has won against some of the easily awarded "Game of the Year" such as Mass Effect 3 and Fallout 3, as well as a very classic game, Super Mario World (For perhaps a familiarity, Fallout 3 beaten Life is Strange). Even better, the percentage of votes always starts out with a very grim situation for Undertale, as the opposing game has initially twice or even thrice the votes as that of Undertale; yet it managed to beat the opponent. However, this is not the point I am trying to make.

On the discussion of this tournament on GameFAQs, there are a lot of topics regarding Undertale, and almost over half of them delibrately berates Undertale. It may have caused from the fact that Undertale beaten so much great games, that people feel angered when their favorite games are being torn down. Since Undertale was new to the world, it has never been really acknowledged by worldwide. However, from that cause, an increasing amount of "Undertale haters" appeared.

They have made every effort to underrate Undertale. Methods were either reassuring Undertale will never be the best game ever, or even a much more severe method as they drag the admins and mods of the tournament to take Undertale into consideration due to believing that there are "troller votes" or "cheaters" - even though admins have taken into consideration and there were no real cheating were made. (It was believed and confirmed that the votes are manipulated, due to the tournament being shared and spread among social medias from the voters - yet it was only just a shout out to people who loves the game, and get on the tournament to vote. Thus, it was never considered breaking rules). Lastly, people started to simply berates Undertale as being a "meme game", "trolling event", "made by a hippie", and about every manner they can to degrade Undertale.

As a random figure online, I don't get irritated by haters, because it is internet and people can speak their opinion. However, I do feel strongly about letting all of us knows that this game can and is getting berated. Thus, I do feel the desire to remind us about the importance of Undertale.
