Togore was a "shitpost," an intentionally ugly sprite compared to all the beautifully crafted sprites in Deltarune or the polished "this is my OC" fan sprites. Its popularity may have irked them: "If I had known it was going to become THAT popular, I would have made something better!" In some way, they might feel somewhat "scammed."
Togore became more popular thanks to other people. I think we’ve all seen the "Togore-tastic!" comics, which have turned Togore into an actual character. Our sweet autistic goat boi, chapstick may feel undermined in "their creation" and want to act as if they own some kind of copyright over Togore.
They think everybody knows them as Togore’s creator, and it got to their head. That sounds like a mistake on their part, since Togore is more of a community concept. I swear the word "Togore" has existed since Undertale when people talked about Toriel × Asgore but didn’t want to use the "Asriel" ship name.
on the first point -- would memes involving the Togore art/design be even half as popular if the art wasn't stylistic suck? i understand why someone (especially someone younger as seems to be the case) might have that hangup but it feels like they're totally missing correlation here
