ok i’m seeing a lot of people still do this so i want to clear up a misconception:

both frisk and chara are non-binary and use “they” pronouns. neither of them are intended to be avatars of the player and neither of them you’re ultimately intended to project your own gender on

the game wants you to think this – it wants you to assume frisk is the character you named at the beginning of the game, and it wants you to project on frisk and then later on chara when it’s revealed chara is the human you named  – but it’s to mess with you. neither of these are true.

frisk’s entire character is about how they aren’t you – they’re their own independent person, who maintained their own independent personality in spite of their hardships and who ultimately lives on as their own person. that’s why the narration in the mirror says “it’s still you” and “still just you, frisk.” it’s kind of like raiden in mgs2, when him throwing the dog togs with your name on them away at the game’s ending was meant to show how he wasn’t under your control anymore

chara’s character is the same way. without getting too deep into the more complicated chara meta, you’re tricked into inputting the name you usually do in rpgs – which is probably your own name – because the entire game is about the relationship between the player and the characters you control in rpgs. chara’s behavior, for good or ill, is reflective of your actions – that is why, in no mercy, they refer to “your guidance” as being what drives them.

but chara is not you either, in any route. in no mercy, they become more powerful than you, and if you give them your soul they take control of the timeline – if they’re you, that makes no sense. in the pacifist route, they are clearly and consistently shown to be their own character with their own history and personality that’s not your own, just like frisk. and, just like frisk, characters such as asriel and the monsters refer to chara consistently with they pronouns.

in short: stop misgendering frisk and chara. it’s really not hard to refer to them with the correct pronouns, the same way as the game does, and if you’ve beaten the game i really don’t think you have an excuse to keep doing this

What? No Toby Fox himself said that the character is basically supposed to be you and you project yourself on the character? Freaking Frisk is AMBIGOUS for the PLAYER to decide. Frisk is in no way shape or form non-binary in canon, they are whoever the player wants to be! Stop gatekeeping Frisk, if this is your interpretation, GREAT! But do NOT say that people can’t use he/she pronouns because NO WHERE IS IT STATED IN CANON THAT FRISK IS NON BINARY! GIVE ME CANON EVIDENCE THAT OUT RIGHT SAYS FRISK IS NON BINARY AND CAN ONLY USE THEY/THEM PRONOUNS!

Toby fox says to use your own name for the name of the fallen child.

Do not gate keep.

Do NOT become another SU fandom.

“Stop misgendering Frisk and Chara”

That is impossible because THEY HAVE NO CANON GENDER.

THEY CAN BE LITERALLY WHATEVER YOU WANT.

STOP BEING GATEKEEPING ASSHOLES.

>2000 notes and everyone is agreeing with this tripe

C’mon, kids, don’t do this.  You wanna interpret Frisk/Chara as non-binary, that’s cool, knock yourself out, but don’t do this “MY HEADCANON IS TRUE AND EVERYONE ELSE IS WRONG” shit.  

Be better than that.
