I've kept tabs on the Indie game dev scene on and off for the past 6-7ish years and in that time, I've seen this cult of personality emerge where people on Twitter get attracted to games with cute characters (Mischief Makers, Yoshi's Island, Kirby 64 (specifically), Mega Man Legends), aspire to make games in a similar style, only now
"reinvented for the modern era." And what that amounts to is them ultimately pulling an Undertale and making the protag non-binary or "gender-neutral", or trying to shoehorn in something LGBT-related for Twitter brownie points.
I've been seeing this stuff escalate slowly ever since Undertale came out. When it did, it not only was a massive deal amongst the people I was following at the time on both Twitter and Tumblr, but entire developers cut their teeth making Undertale fan art or fangames. For example, there's Taxiderby, who's started out making an Undertale fangame, and is now trying to make a furry top-down "dodge-em-up" that
clearly isn't gonna be gay or anything. He's also working on Deltarune, in case you didn't know.
Other times, you have stuff like A Hat in Time, a game that I had always had this weird feeling about ever since I first heard about it, and when I heard about the hidden trans flag in the DLC, my suspicions were confirmed. Feels like now if you were to be an indie developer, you would have to be extra careful with who you associate with, lest you risk getting groomed or
some rando will try to cancel you over trivial stuff. From the looks of it, this game just seems to be a microcosm of how much things have escalated over there.
tl;dr: The popularity of Undertale and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race.
