I don't even know, the Undertale fandom just metastatized so rapidly and reached critical mass just a week or so after the game released and was gone as quick as it came.

how are you such a faggot

It's cardboard cutout exaggerations of a character set to a cartoonish standard mixed with Furry-tier levels of smug design and bad taste, Undertale is a perfect game for asperger furries to be honest.

I have three friends that are furries and have aspergers and Undertale is number one on 'game they won't shut the fuck up about.'

>>385575090
you need so stop saying "cringe" and address why it's bad instead
>>
>>385575803
sounds like you have a lot of resentment towards your friends

>>385575090
Frustrated?

I have a lot of resentment towards their aspergers. They're still my friends though.

Are we still talking about it after 2 years?

There it is, the worst buzzword of the last 2 years.

Birds of a feather anon.
You're just like them. That's why you're friends

Well, there's also "cuck," but that seems to have been appropriated by stormfags and r_TheDonald shitters

No idea but the Sonic fandom is way worse.

>>385576252
I can gurantee you, it exploded over this exact period of time. It wasn't even to be found in online discussion until the Minecon video of 2013 and the whole "cringe culture" that emerged around that time.

Thanks for the arm chair psychology but I met them at school when I was young, they only 'discovered' it later on.

desu the whining about cringe actually preceded the cringe
>>
>>385575090
I actually liked the game. The different endings and the true ending were interesting and I had fun doing it. The music is really nice.

That being said after I got all the endings I never played it again. I've gone out of my way to avoid the fans because they seem batshit crazy and I don't want to taint what was a positive experience.

Sans hits a number of common tumblr tropes that caused an immense amount of flanderization whenever autists think about him:

>appeals heavily to ironic humour (puns, etc.)
>is very powerful but is reluctant to actually show it
>implied to have some sort of depression or at least is unhealthily apathetic
>has a really cool but edgy moment in the edgiest route
>vague backstory that's never fully explained, leading to mass projection

Despite being just "le funny skeleton man" for 90% of the game fangirls who can't write exaggerate the above characteristics since they find those things appealing, not realizing that the restraint the game shows with most of it is what made the character good in the first place.

The game literally begs you not to replay it once you have the good ending

Sometimes, the pot is the one most often calling the kettle black

>>385576724
But the true best ending is killing all the main characters and nobody else and it never does that there.

The thing is that the creator, Toby Fox, saw this coming lightyears away

tfw cringe fandom ruins my enjoyment of this game.

At least I got all the ending before all the cringe set in desu.
>>
>>385575090

It's been 1 year and the only time I still se Undertale being mentioned is on /v/ shitposting

Don't get me wrong, the autists exist and they're cringy, but I'm not annoyed by them since' they're contained within their circles and not metastasizing anymore. The game was good, I had fun, and people both shitposted and went autistic about it. That's it.
