The flower cafe. And aren’t the Tasques also Treated Sentient in the same matter as lesser dog. Lesser dog is best baby and even has they/it pronouns(He/They/It as of Deltarune chapter 2 dev logs). It/It’s pronouns are not Animalizing,Objectifying, or Dehumanizing for Toby Games, they’re just There. And Hail Radiation the Fox, Toby’s true self insert.(Also FRIEND being Gaster’s Annoying dog is a fun joke)
i am about 99.99999% sure the thing isnt called this in game
are you talking about the mannequin
but also i was thinking and how do we know pink is transfem (not an attack just a fr question cause we dont know her past in deltarune)
Animals can eat at cafes because it's a silly cartoon world is my point
Tasques are just treated as animals with a tamer
We see a younger version of Pink in Undertale who isn't expressing femininely or using she/her, and she then changes after finding the Mew Mew body
There's no reason she would start out with a different gender in Deltarune
There's also obvious coding
I mean Pink is Deltarune’s name for both the Ghost and the Body. And we know the ghost is Transfem, because the mad ghost is Mad Dummy in Undertale. And I know it’s just called the Mannequin but it’s only been involved With Mettaton and Dress lion besides Spamton.
the dress is used by both mettaton and dress lion who are both trans
the loaded disc "squirms and doesnt fit" if you try putting it in it
Still Sapient though at the same time, Kawkaw is treated as fully sapient as well.
To be clear, only one Addison is referred to as they/them, according to this wiki, and that was by a stranger. Otherwise, all of this is pretty true, and you can make those connections if you want to.
Thank you so much for explaining better. I call it the blue dress of transness since it only seems to involve trans characters.
okay i might be stupid or something but
what the fuck is coding
ive been seeing the term everywhere
the only thing i know coding means is programming
How
"this character is x coded" means they have traits typically associated with x
blue is black coded because he has locs, for example
The sweepstakes has Spamton use They/Them for Addisons as well though, and he would know the species he most resembles and is connected to. And the pink one he has a bunch of links to if the mannequin is anything.
When a character isn't actually or explicitly something but is written in a way that they still represent that, in terms of minority representation particularly
For example an alien species that aren't humans but are written in a way to parallel the struggles of black South Africans and have black voice actors could be called black-coded
And sometimes those traits are very very literal, like getting a new body.
"isnt actually something"
so in some ways we kinda assume sometimes
i see what you mean but the connections are close enough that its a bit weird to phrase it like that
If a character was just a black guy they wouldn't be black-coded they would just be black
"isnt explicity/technicaly that" is a better word choice. semantics. bluh.
