Now I get why people hate the Undertale fandom (hexbear.net)

I just opened R*ddit (my mistake, I know) just to be inundated with posts in there about a recent drama about Latin American people asking for game translations, but the fandom thinks it's much more reasonable to just bootlick as hard as they can to justify not having them.

Apparently to them it's fine to say the people asking for translations are a bunch of nationalists, as if global north and global south nationalism can even be compared, this one genuinely smells like racism to me. It's also fine to downvote anyone saying that it is an actual issue since a huge portion of people will never be able to experience Toby Fox's games. And apparently fuck localization teams too, because one or another game had one bad localization that got backlash, fuck that this people literally do this for a living, one big game fucked up, therefore all localization bad. There's also a bunch of Latin American people just doing the classic "sorry for these people making my country/continent look bad", like wtf, have some amount of self-respect at least, bunch of vira-lata behavior.

Toby's excuse is not even bad, dude's a perfectionist, I get it, but working with a localization team is not the end of the world either. But who cares right? It's funnier if the majority of the fandom just pretends Latin American people are just entitled idiots asking him to learn 2 new whole languages instead of doing the obvious.

I get it now, these mfs are just extremely annoying.

Yeah, I absolutely love Undertale, and I'm playing Deltarune right now, but these fandoms are so unbearable over this. I don't really look much in there other than the ocasional post that reaches my timeline, which is usually either shitposting or people talking about the next chapter which I don't even read because I'm not up-to-date with Deltarune yet, so my perception was that it was like most other communities, but I get now why so many people hate them lol, when they latch onto a topic they are annoying as fuck.
