Disclaimer: Speciesism And Specism Isn't The Same Thing As Racism.

disclaimer: speciesism and specism isn't the same thing as racism.

Undertale doesn't exactly touch on those ideas of specism, the monsters are accepted outside, the humans are beloved on the inside.

Though, when you have "there was a war, people A and people B are majorly upset at each other, people A lock people B in a giant cave to die", I mean....there's really uh. That context to take in. I think if it's done well and in an AU that deviates HEAVILY from the original take, then sure, fine, go ahead.

The problem is that often it's not well done, because simply- the people making content aren't professional writers and artists, they're just (mostly) regular peeps who often bite off more than they can chew, and it leaves everyone with a bitter taste in their mouths.

When you have Sans go through a genocide, be fought against relentlessly by a murderous child, and then do a pacifist, escape to the surface, then Sans will quite naturally be just a smidge anxious around that same child, won't he? trauma and whatnot. however I don't think making Sans have a bias against humans forever and ever is stupid :')

Transcript: As a black person in the utdr fandom it really weirds out me when people claim the monsters in undertale are "racist". Honestly just typing this gives me a really uneasy feeling thinking about it all. White people who don't have any proper knowledge to be talking on situations like this and entirely missing the point of what's going on, to the point where it feels almost intentional. Saying this on here rather than my own blog because I don't know how people would react if I said stuff like this, I rb posts like this but I don't really have experience talking about them myself

Idk I might send another ask in again another time going more in depth but I don't even know how to explain how it makes me feel but I can try if anyone really wants

Hello 👋, I hope you're doing well..

My name is Mahmoud, and I'm a 17-year-old from Gaza. The ongoing war has devastated my city, destroyed my school, and made daily life incredibly challenging.

Despite these hardships, I'm determined to continue my education and build a better future. I've been given a chance to study abroad, but I need help to cover the costs of leaving Gaza, as well as living expenses and other essentials abroad once the crossing opens.. 🙏

If you can, please consider donating or sharing, your kindness can truly make a difference, and thanks for your time. ❤🍉

Obsidian and Bill. two of my favorites. They hail from wreckverse, a place where everyone supposedly good is fucked up and everyone supposedly bad is doing better. They are six in the team, I'll draw the others soon!

Fresh? oh yeah NAH. his only, number one, single goal is to survive. If the multiverse dies, so does he. He wants to take over the multiverse, propagate the parasites until he's the least bit alone he could ever be, but....he doesn't want to kill it.

His jokes and pranks, even being annoying, are strictly meant to keep him A: entertained, B: seemingly weak, or even too bothersome to run after, or too annoying to try and kill. He fights in strange ways to make you think "I'm not even gonna try this sucks", and talks in strange ways to make you think "hah what a stupid idiot. He's clearly not a threat", and acts in strange ways to make you think "ugh, I don't even wanna approach this dude. So weird."

Transcript: for uhhh researching purposes would fresh be someone who would want/try to destroy the multiverse as like a joke or something and if not who would?
