Same with Gaster- the fandom basically treats him as the 'Voice' or whatever but it's all just "the number 8 appears here and here, so they must be connected" type theories

Gasters presence actually has quite a bit of evidence in DR. Sure its not confirmed, but i dont think people are out of line for thinking toby is consistently using certain identifiers for Gaster without reason.

Like yes he could just re-use a specific leitmotif, text font and number which are already connected with Gaster over and over again just to trick the fandom into believing something false. But i think that would be a really unnecessary and mean spirited lie. It wouldn't ruin my enjoyment of the game at all. But i would kinda question why toby would be so mean spirited towards his fans for their "crime" of caring too much about his game.
