By your logic, people who kill people in video games will also do so in real life. In actuallity, there is no correlation or casuation with murder in video games influencing the likelihood of homicide. So we should only play games that follow your world and philliosophy? That is incredibly narrow.

The 'they' characters in Undertale (exception of Nastablook which is actually likely non-binary) are using singular 'they' pronouns -- what you call someone when you don't know their gender -- because the Toby designed these characters as a vessel for the player. The gender is canonically 'unknown' or 'could be anything (male, female, non-binary whatever)'. Asriel calling Chara them is not evidence because if they called them anything else their gender WOULD be stated defeating the entire purpose of the game where "your choices matter". Non-binary isn't canon, unless the player decide.

Kris in Deltarune could be used against this due to the theme of the game but having gender ambigious human protagonists has become a staple of Toby's at this point.
