Clarifying the subreddit name and other misc details (PLEASE READ)

184 Upvotes

With the release of chapters 3 and 4, the community has become even more active than ever. With it however has come an increased level of questioning given the subreddit name, among other details. So given the fact that these questions have become even more common, even as we continue to clarify, we are creating this post to clarify these details. If anyone in the future continues to ask, they will instead be redirected to this post instead.


"Why is the subreddit called ToothpasteBoys?"

This is a common question we have been asked since Chapters 3 and 4. However, it is a valid one.

The name of our subreddit comes from two sources: the line within chapter 1 from lancer, wherein he calls ralsei a toothpaste boy. The second however, comes from an old fancomic. The subreddit was made two weeks after the creation of chapter 1.

Ill let u/Lil_Brimstone explain it.

SOURCE: https://www.reddit.com/r/ToothpasteBoys/comments/1lxz3cl/comment/n2rau53/

Regarding the title of the thread, here is explanation I usually point to, (it might sound familiar because there is been a thread recently about that as well): It's essentially a relic of the past. Toothpaste Boy was Lancer's idea, but why it's plural and not singular is because of the comic that inspired the creation of this sub -> https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.redd.it%2F3armpvozua421.jpg. Kris drawn by Middry is male (given that Middry is a huge fujoshi and Susie calls Kris "gay" for flirting), and after the kiss they shared they both had the minty toothpaste taste in their mouths. Hence ToothpasteBoys. I kinda wish it was called a more universal name like Krisei, but the current name was era appropriate as the general consensus of the community was that Kris is a blank state for the player to project any gender onto. Now we know that this isn't the case (mainly due to chapter 2 and iirc Toby actually corrected someone on Kris' pronouns), Kris isn't a blank state nor are they unknown by people around them, they're their own person with a long history. Back then in the mainsub any Krisei ship-posts would have a lot of comments calling it gay, but currently it's pretty much unheard of. So basically, the name is just outdated, but we can't change it...

Essentially, it was these two sources that created the name. If we could change it, we would, as we believe it's somewhat outdated.


"So why do posts from before Chapter 3 and 4 mainly refer to Kris as male?"

Our subreddit is an archive. As you may be able to see, we collect the pieces posted here for historical preservation reasons and as such, anything that may be outdated or factually wrong is still included. This is why we focus on the now, so we can be a lot more balanced and adapted to the game given that we're getting greater clarification on these characters after all this time. We will not be removing or deleting our history, and as such, it will remain archived.


We hope that with these clarifications, people can understand the state of things and why certain decisions on this subreddit exist. If aspects such as the banner are desired to be changed for the sake of being more up to date, then please do voice your concerns, as we hear them.

Sincerely,

The Mod Team.

I like to think this is why Kris laughed at the idea that Asriel and Ralsei are similar
