people don’t seem to get why misgendering chara, frisk, and kris is such a big deal but like...y’all realize they’re like, the only nonbinary representation we have in games, right? you guys have like...everyone. you’ve got all these characters that use he/him and she/her. we’re allowed to get mad when you decide to take these canon nonbinary characters and say “we’re actually allowed to choose their gender bc we play as them/bc it’s up for interpretation/bc they/them are placeholder pronouns for when u don’t know their gender”
the thing is...we do know their genders? for starters-Chara. Asriel, their adoptive brother, their literal best friend who loves and adores them, solely uses they/them for Chara. nothing else. Chara’s family would 100% know their gender and pronouns. just because you name them does not mean you know them. they are not you. they have their own story, and their own personality. that is the point of Undertale.
Frisk is also not you. this is specified at the end of the True Pacifist when they tell Asriel their name. later on, Flowey, pleading with you to not reset, refers to Frisk with they/them and nothing else.
Kris is, unsurprisingly, not you either!! the game shows that by throwing away the name you picked, and-spoilers-throwing your soul into the cage at the end of the game!! you can literally move said soul around while in the cage!!!
why can’t you guys accept the fact that they’re nonbinary? why does it matter so much to you that you get to assign a binary to them? this topic matters to me because i’m nonbinary, and it stings every single time i see someone misgender them!!
so why do you want their gender to be yours to choose, even though the game’s point is that you cannot choose who they are?
