hey guys! this ship has already sailed…and sunk…several times already, but there’s something that’s still incredibly important to me that i feel the need to address in a genuine, comprehensive matter.

this is going to be a post talking about why it’s important to recognize frisk from undertale as nonbinary, and not just in canon, but in fan material as well, and why people tend to get so angry when frisk is gendered unnecessarily. if you’ve ever seen posts like this before and thought “this isn’t that important, it’s just a video game, it’s not even real, why do other people’s headcanons matter so much?” then this post is for you.

if you care at all about trans people – hell, about people at all – and you’re unsure about the matter or currently someone who genders frisk, i am begging on my hands and knees for you to read this post. no anger, no defensiveness. just listen to what i have to say. i’m not going into your inbox and yelling at you; i’m simply explaining why this is something that matters to so many people so much.

as a disclaimer: frisk isn’t the only nonbinary character in the game who frequently gets misgendered, but i’m only going to be referring to frisk here for brevity’s sake; this post is already long enough as it is!
