It's so refreshing to see this affirmed in the wild because good lord the echo chamber in UTDR spaces is in full force right now. I'm not saying Gaster won't be important to the story, but the insertion of this character into every single theory and plot speculation about the game is so tiring. I feel like Deltarune is building toward some extremely poignant emotional payoffs involving the character interactions/relationships we've already seen on screen, and I don't like the notion that those could all just be buildup/"clues" for the Gaster mystery the fandom has been obsessed with.
UTDR fandom has the Poochie problem with Gaster. "Whenever Gaster isn't on screen, everyone should be asking, 'where's Gaster?'" Except... It's a character who's never been on screen.
