Ooh boy, here we go. Time for some controversy talk.
So people on tumblr are reporting artists for drawing nsfw art of Frisk as an adult and getting their art taken down.
Like, I understand the concept of seeing something that unsettles you? I personally am a tad unsettled by seeing it as well since I donāt view Frisk in any sort of sexual manner. Just like how I donāt view Toriel in any sexual manner.
But uhm.
Undertale isnāt the first fandom to age up children in porn?
Like wow holy wow, pretty much ANY fandom has done this and it wasnāt this giant circle jerk of controversy.
I really donāt understand this need to control others doing things you donāt like over the internet. What in the living fuck is stopping you from just blocking it and moving on or ignoring it. What part of sharing your disgust and attacking an artistās livelihood is so goddamn important?
Like, consider it a miracle that the majority of established artists in the community even /bother/ to age up Frisk, because I guarantee you, itās not like that with other fandoms.
This game has done ALOT for everyone, and itās a powerful goddamn game and yes I understand wanting to keep it āsacredā, but this is reality, and you have to deal with your own personal āfloweysā in regards to fandom.
Donāt become a āfloweyā, friends.
If you see LEGITIMATE pedophilia? And hereās a quick definition:
that would be the time to SILENTLY without getting all UP AND ARMS about it, just report them ON YOUR OWN and be on your merry way.
Aging up a character is not a fucking crime, and it never will be.Ā
Frisk and Asriel and precious little cinnastix and I get not wanting to see that, but there is ZERO grounds for the sort of behavior Iāve been seeing lately.
Art in which Frisk [or any UT char] is drawn as a consenting adult is NOT pedophilia.
Art in which Frisk [or any UT char] is drawn as a non-consenting child IS pedophilia. and should be handled in a passive manner, without attacking the artist or shaming/calling them out.
This is SUPER ENTRY LEVEL shit.
Unfortunately, I donāt expect this post to stop it at all, and thereās lots of shit that the UT fandom is doing to become exactly what Toby feared, and itās really a goddamn shame.
People are attacking artists, sending death threats, telling youtubers like PewdiePie/Mark not to play the game, people are shoving words into Tobyās mouthā¦ and just in general, becoming REALLY fucking nasty over protecting something dear to them.
Let me clue you in on a thing: You donāt have to protect it.Ā
People enjoy the game for different reasons and they should be allowed to do so.Ā
Please, Iām literally begging. Ā
Youāre allowed to be disgusted/dislike things, butā¦
Do NOT fucking attack people.Ā
Use some MERCY. or ACT in a passive manner.
WALK AWAY.
*SPARE.
*FLEE.
Donāt become a fucking wreck of a fandom.
