I don't know if autism can be considered a political agenda.

I'm not self-loathing enough to play faggy games like this. Can you provide a synopsis of your hypothesis?

It probably just seems that way because of all the bloggers praising it for being super progressive when the game designers were just trying to make it unique.

The game has furry characters (not all), a lesbian relationship and shitty graphics.
The story is good IMO, the game does some 4th wall stuff and it is quite original in that regard.
For me it doesn't look like it pushes anything aside from a lesbian relationship between two monsters, and a homosexual one with two background characters (they don't do anything for the plot)

You can kill them, there's nothing stopping you. But the game will make you feel like it's wrong.

The concept had to exist at some point, every other game is the same killing to win mechanic.

Representation alone isn't pushing an "agenda" f a m

Undertale has lesbian and trans characters but it's not ham-fisted in pushing a tolerant agenda, they're just there like lesbian and trans people are there in real life

Pic related, Metagross is a non-binary agender Beldum-kin according to Pokemon lore but you don't hear 4chan calling him degenerate

It's actually a cool unique idea, I like the idea where being a good guy means more than just pressing a different option.
Being good should be more difficult than being evil, something games always forget.

It seems to be to detached from reality to post any real political agenda apart from "Being nice is good" if you ask me.
Everyone just live in a big kingdom below earth, with no noticeable law enforcement apart from a skeleton and a fish who likes to beat up random people.

Also, do everything this flower tells you to do.

Most games make use of negative reinforcement to reward play: if you don't reach a target behaviour (like not dying) you get taken out of the game (either to respawn or otherwise). A good example of negative reinforcement at its finest are the Dark Souls games, where you are rewarded for outwitting an obstacle that killed you before with your previous experience+whatever it took to get back to that point.

Undertale uses positive reinforcement, you're encouraged to dispatch enemies with nonviolent means and basicslly rewarded with the game complimenting you for playing nice. It's a simple but subtle dynamic.

There's no politics, the game is about accepting other people. It's a pretty simple message. There's a pair of romantically involved female characters, but the game does not revolve around these two and it's portrayed awkwardly for comedic effect.

It's an inoffensive, endearing game that has some parallels to the Mother games, with a similarly upbeat eerie tone. As you may have gathered, I enjoyed undertale. It was just nice to play something different.

However, many of the fans are obviously children or maladjusted, horny nerds and they really shit the bed when it came to sharing the game with other people in a relate able way. LOTS of furfaggotry and creepy sexual characterization of under 18's.

So, nice game, shitty crazy fanbase.

Silly goyim, you shouldn't see conspiracies everywhere, it's just a video game!

>>79728622
The game itself doesn't, it just gives you the choice to do whatever the fuck you want and the world/characters react to this choice. Of course they won't be happy if you keep killing everyone but that's kinda part of the fun. The problem is the godawful fandom that took a simple but fun little game and turned it into some higher statement about their progressive utopia. Though you can partly blame the developer for attracting that kind of audience by putting lesbians into it and making the main character race and gender-ambigious .
>>
>>79729628
Dude lesbians are trans are fucking uncommon, they are definitely not part of everyday life. Over representation indicates he wants to normalize those freaks

>>79729736
I can assure you that it would've. The game was out at such a perfect time - made by the co-creator of Homestuck, Homestuck was reaching its ending - honestly, this game wouldn't of been successful without the existence of the unholy blob of a fandom that is Homestuck.

I would disagree with this. I've met so many lesbians that it's not even funny.

The game does have some attention to detail, including expecting people to break the code and dig deep, something that have been missing in games for a while.

But it has some bullshit sexual agenda:

2 gay couples, one lesbian and one fag, both very awkward. Isnt even good "romance", just pushed into your face.

There is a supposedly female ghost that possed a male-looking robot.

And finally 2 of the main characters, including the playable one, dont have defined sex. Other characters call him "them"
>>
>>79728622

>all characters don´t explain sexuality orientation aside from the fish
>all characters are animals or objects or robots
>we must say what they like to stick up their asses or where they stick their skeletons cocks

the game is maybe 20% gay agenda but the delusional fans have decided that all monsters are trans-fat-muslims-gay-latino-robot-bi-demi sexuals furries.

No, I don't worry about games like Undertale.

I worry about all the people who blindly hate things like Undertale because they associate things they hate with it.

There's nothing wrong with the game.
The creator even refused to answer some dumbfuck of a journalists leading question about inclusivity and representation or some such bullshit.
>>
>>79729131

The self-insert main character not having a canon gender means that the normal player assumes that they're their gender, and the Tumblrite uses this as a method to push their "nonbinary" meme.

The game itself is not bad. Good music, different gameplay. A lot of people complain that it pushes the non-violent bit to try to make a point, but some of the best content in the game is only accessible if you kill everyone.

7/10 overall desu senpai

They also need to realize that people aren't evil for being evil's sake. I really hate this virgin-sacrificing, blood-drinking D&D trope. "Evil" just means a somewhat arbitrary boundary where the end no longer justifies the means. Most people we think of as evil never realized they crossed that boundary.

And that's exactly why the concept of evil is laughably incompatible with this binary, option-selecting video game approach. The moment someone decided that they'd boil down complex morality, they did a disservice to video games as a form of expression. I've always preferred games that simply gave a choice between possible courses of action, and the results from those. You take the action that YOU consider the most appropriate to the situation, and you contemplate whether it's the right choice or not based on the morality of the situation itself, and not the game "ding"-ing up points against or in favour.

Of course, there should be some reaction. But that should be in context of the gameworld itself, so you can judge the morality of your actions and evaluate them, not in some menu ticking up points. And neither should it become immediately clear what was the "right" choice.

>>79728622

Oh it is, but not in the way you think.

Fans tend to believe that Undertale, specificially its monsters, are based around Irish mythology.

From there, it's safe to assume that the game more or less takes place under Ireland. Now, the intro gives you a '201x' timeframe, meaning it takes place in the modern day.

>Modern Europe
>Monsters get out in happy ending.
>Monsters migrate from Ireland across Europe.

Now, you may think that the monsters are a parelell to a certain group, but remember, our Eastern friends are coming from Africa and the like.

>Peaceful monsters will have to deal with the rapefugees.
>No happy ending because Papyrus is going to get bombed somewhere in France.

women are so self absorbed they all go through a "lesbian phase" I wouldn't be surprised if most of the lesbians you have met are just lying skanks doing it for attention.

If you try hard enough you'll find a political agenda in everything. Undertale is just a game. It's a game about emotions and follows hard-line story.

There really isn't anything political about the game. Toby Fox wanted to make a unique game and focused on "outside the box" themes and he did a really good job with it.

If you ignore the whole fact that Tumblr is milking the game and ignore what they say for the most part, it's a really good, simple, elegant game.

It wasn't even his idea. He got the idea from Shin Megami Tensei's recruiting demons system.

I've seen interviews with the dev where the interviewers asks him how he feels about the SJW aspects of the game. He always skips those questions.

Only people who can't separate fantasy from reality would fall for agendas pushed by video games, cartoons, movies, etc.
