It kinda is demeaning towards alphys and her insecurities about dating a woman
I mean I get your angle here, but the whole game is about helping people work out their emotions and improve their relationships with each other. I don’t really think a super-awkward romance is out of line in that context, lesbian or no.
Maybe? I’m not exactly intimately familiar with the game so it would probably be lower-profile in the story.
Got any examples? Alphys is very insecure in general, and insecure about liking Undyne because she thinks Undyne is cooler than her. I don’t think her being a woman had anything to do with it
She’s kinda portrayed as a tumblr stereotype: Geeky, Otaku, incredibly insecure about her appearance, rather short.
Maybe, but I don’t think her resembling a stereotype is a bad thing, I found her very loveable. And how is that an example of the game being homophobic? I feel like you’re reading too much into it.
I don’t think Toby is homophobic anyway – there are two openly gay relationships in the game and even a character who could be perceived as trans (Mettaton). He definitely seems okay with LGBT folk.
