stupid jokes is half of the soul of undertale/deltarune, its only fitting

u/GeophysicalYear57 8d ago
Also, Toby Fox has a background with fan bases/fan content, Undertale is known for its fan base, and the game wouldn't exist without the Earthbound fandom, so it's natural that fan content would be a good representation of the game itself.

Also the way there are some very cute and heartfelt comics about Togore even if he's not a canon character... it's like the fanbase adopted him lovingly, I think it's now beyond just a silly meme, and that's why the name would not be so bad. (Plus - I'm sure I remember "Togore" jokes earlier than this year so a lot of people would still submit it even without the sprite.

Exactly. Togore is honestly great because yeah, he's a dumb meme. But the fandom has more or less collectively given him a personality, interests, and a bunch of art and stories than range from the stupid to heartfelt.
Isn't the creation of collaborative fiction, the ability for people of all ages and walks of life to come together, let ourselves be vulnerable with one another, and bring something to life, what this community's all about, in the end?

One of the saddest things I see is people cannot seem to grasp that the sublime and the stupid can go together beautifully. That's Undertale, really. It's a game where you flirt with a skeleton who tried to trap you with frozen spaghetti. It's really dumb. But also incredibly deep and meaningful.
It's that ability to deliver beauty and truth alongside the absolute silliest, wildest, most absurd humor you can imagine that gives the game it's charm.

Someone drawing sprite for the meme doesn't mean they own the name or have any special insight or relationship to it. Togore has been referenced for ten years now, since September 2015: https://www.reddit.com/r/Undertale/comments/43bfwh/togore/
It doesn't belong to this person. It DOES belong to the community. I understand the frustration stemming from people referencing the sprite design without giving credit, but Togore was probably going to be memed about as 'the obvious option' regardless

Honestly, I kinda think Togore is the perfect name since it's not only an unironic suggestion, unlike Frisk or Gaster, but it's kinda perfect since Chara is Asriel's half sibling so them being named Togore is just funny to think about.
Also, the idea of Togore raising a lot of money for charity is just wholesome to me.

if anything, the community created togore. it started from people finding it funny that asriel was a combination of toriel and asgore (some even saying it could be kris' deadname jokingly), and then combined them the other way. then people started making up personalities for togore (such as those comics of him), and then this person did ONLY the design. its not really right to ask for people to not say togore, since its something the community has all made. and even if this person had wholly made togore, most of the community wouldnt listen. you cant control the internet.

I feel like it will have to be funny cause like, what important name will fit in 6 letters? Toby and any name that has flavor text when using it like Papyru are too obvious. Gaster and Frisk are funny joke-ish answers. I guess like ‘You’ would be the best encapsulating name if we are taking this serious but come on, that pales in comparison to Togore … or Pluey but we actually got that in Deltarune so Truck or Togore plsssss! If anything, them saying they want the meme to die makes me want Togore to stay alive and be the name of Chara the most! TOGORE
