METTATON IS NOT A WOMAN/METTATON IS NOT FtM. (Edited)
Edit: okay, I think I have to clarify this because a lot of people are misunderstanding. Darling, if you want to headcanoning Mettaton as a woman, do it, I’m not against that. My real frickin’ problem starts when someone try to force you believe he is/was a woman, saying that’s in the game, that’s official and stuff like that, when it’s not true, just because they don’t like the fact he’s a man or Idk. I made a post explaining this already. It’s about a guy who was yelling in the comments section of a Youtube video, saying it’s “CONFIRMED” that Mettaton was a woman in his ghost form (When ghosts doesn’t even have gender) and Frisk is a girl and that’s confirmed (I’d like to think that Frisk is a girl but everyone knows Frisk doesn’t have gender either). When it’s NOT trueeee. I made this post for people like him. You should ask or something before insulting each other’s opinion. I haven’t insulted anyone. ————————————
Frist of all, I want to clarify that my intention is not to offend anyone with this post, so I hope nobody take this personal. In addition, all I will say then, I will say it with bases and arguments. None of this is invented.
(Pd: I’m so sorry for my bad English; I will do my best to make myself understood. You can find this post originally on Spanish, here: http://thecountessphantomhive.tumblr.com/post/149304516376/mettaton-no-es-una-mujermettaton-no-es )
All right, before starting playing Undertale for the first time (and I have played the game six times), my favorite character is and always has been Mettaton. Having said that, when I started to integrate myself into the fandom, I gradually dawned on me that there is an extraordinary amount of people who, for some reason I don’t understand and I will never understand, confuse Mettaton’s gender, and that bothers me a lot. It’s not so much the fact that they are confused, what bothers me is that there are people who are one hundred percent sure that Mettaton is a woman, when that’s not true. As if they were the very creator of the game.
First: EVERYONE, throughout the game, calls Mettaton as a HE, as a MAN, as a BOY. For this reason it’s obvious that Mettaton is not a woman but people are still confused and don’t know why.
Second: Mettaton has a MALE voice. The voice you can hear when Mettaton changes his form to EX’s form and when you attacks him during the fight on a neutral route is clearly a MALE voice. There’s NO way that his voice would be a woman’s voice.
Third: One of the finals of the neutral route, after killing Toriel and Undyne, Mettaton becomes into the KING of the Underground. It says clearly; “KING”
Fourth: If you take the time to read the Undertale’s wikia, as I did, you’ll find all the information given about Mettaton, and on the page clearly talks about Mettaton, in his robot and ghost form, as a HE, as a MAN, with a MALE gender. NOWHERE does it say that Mettaton is or was a woman so I honestly can’t understand why there are so many people in the fandom striving to say that Mettaton is a woman or transgender, when for God sake it’s not.
Fifth: If you start to talk about Mettaton with Catty and Bratty, they will say at some point in the conversation that Mettaton is like their robot HUSBAND, but he doesn’t know.
Sixth: In the Wikia, in the curiosities section, it says that Toby Fox was inspired by the Magipsias, characters of the game “Mother 3”, to create Mettaton. The Magipsias are basically MALE characters with feminine TASTES. That’s why the Mettaton’s house in Waterfall is all pink from inside.
Seventh: In the game, the pronouns used for the characters that have no gender are “They” and “them”. Those pronouns are used on the ghosts of the game; Napstablook and “Happstablook” which means that Mettaton, in his ghost form has no gender. In this way, you can see mettaton as a trans male, because he went from not having gender to have male gender. This proves that he WASN’T NEVER a woman.
Eighth: That sprite of Mettaton in his ghost form, from the Underswap AU IS NOT OFFICIAL. Yeah, that pink ghost which is supposed to be Happs it’s not official, was made by a fan. So, there is no official evidence that he was a pink ghost. In case he was really a pink ghost, again, that doesn’t mean he as a girl.
Nineth: I’m not sure if this is true because Toby Fox has changed his Twitter account two times but I have seen this tweet in A LOT of pages.
─ “Oh but Mettaton is a robot so he doesn’t have gender.” If you mean that he can’t have penis, so can I say that Sans and Papyrus can be women because they are skeletons and, well, they don’t have any organ? C’mon, don’t be so hypocrite, that has nothing to do with it. Remember that Alphys is otaku and everyone knows in anime there are all kinds of porn, so she could get inspired by that to give Mettaton that kind of functions. But that’s go around the bush.
─ “But his house in Waterfall is all pink, that means he was a girl.” READ the wikia. MAN with feminine TASTES. Robot HUSBAND. The fact his house is all pink DOESN’T MEAN HE IS OR WAS A GIRL. Nowhere does it say he was or is a woman. Men can like the pink color and feel fabulous with high pink heels.
─ “But if Mettaton is a man, that means he’s gay and I don’t think Toby Fox wants that in his game”. In the whole game there are only two canon couples. Undyne and Alphys (both women), and Guard 01 and Guard 02 (Both men). So that makes no sense.
The simple fact that Mettaton is an effeminate and possibly homosexual character doesn’t mean he is a woman or transgender. If all the information appears on the game and on the official website of the same, why are people so foolish? For this reason I began to dislike the fandom. There are so many good facts of the Undertale’s fandom and these kinds of things are ruining it.
In addition, I have absolutely nothing against transgender people, don’t misunderstand me, please; I’m only against that ones who try to canonize information that is not. All they do is confuse people who haven’t played the game.
If you’re one of the people who were confused about Mettaton’s gender, here I explain. Don’t worry, my problem is not why you. If you wanna know the real information, it’s okay.
If you are one of those who spread false or unofficial information, let me tell you what you do fall quite heavy, so you should not do it more. Search about it, it costs nothing.
Well, I’m so sorry for my bad English, I’m pretty sure there are things which are not well written but really needed to do this.
Shit dude THANK YOU for making this post
