i find it weird when people champion undertale/deltarune as the ultimate examples of sincerity in gaming, knowing the origins of toby's sense of humor
specially when sites like tumblr always had irony posion and even people being cynical towards anime
something tells me there could be a chance of deltarune having a cameo of dril or mega64
the real "tumblrisms" of ut/dr aren't the furry characters or the lgbt elements, more likely they're the type of humor when you consider the roots
(i'd also bring up the differences between "tumblr cringe" and "deviantart cringe" where tumblr always had overt self-awareness, self-deprecating humor and even some cultural overlaps with somethingawful while deviantart feels alien in comparison because it's weird kids not even thinking about how the outside world sees them)
(could also be because tumblr is full of millenials who also invest in politics to feel more mature than they are)
it feels like people nowadays (and maybe as a side effect of "internet brain rot" or troll's remorse) define sincerity as "anti-cringe culture", as if simply including colorfull furry characters makes your work sincere
so by this logic: david lynch's art for example can't be sincere because it doesn't have colorfull furries or poorly drawn anime characters
but i also believe toby himself might be aware of this, which explains why he'd ever want to go to japan because barely does irony exist in anything from japan
maybe he even sees pieces of irony and the likes on his western fans
but he probably doesn't entirely regret his history with tumblr if it got him into things he did like

What the fuck does any of this have to do with the game? Take this inane rambling to >>>/vg/ [//boards.4chan.org/vg/] or someplace where people care.

Everyone who praises toby, UT and DR saying it is a "masterpiece" or similar buzzwords is too young to have played anything else, specially the games that inspired toby like brandish, earthbound, chrono trigger and etc
The number of big UT/DR "fans" I've seen that never played earthbound or mother 3 is staggering

yeah, I've seen this copypasta beforeUndertale/Deltarune can never be a "sincere" game from the very fact they're genre parodies, and parodies are inherently ironic.

I like Deltarune/Undertale. I just don't like people who make it their whole personality or think that because they personally like it, any criticism is an attack on themselves.
