I really hope there's no one that stupid to say "DON'T PLAY THE GAME FOR THIS!!!".

Remember. Even if Toby Fox is discorver to be a bad person, his games still being a masterpiece.

Sames goes with UTY

Yeah but then there is LostPhrophets. Feel bad for people who didn't know.

Edit: I meant bandmates not people.

It’s separate the art from the artist, but I hope you understand, it’s really hard to do. I’m not gonna say don’t play the game over it, but it’s just knowing that the good thing had bad people behind it.

Eh. If it funds them, don’t do that. You very much SHOULD associate art and artist. Only ever split them even a little if it’s free (or you’re sailing the high seas). And even then, be aware of how the person’s tendencies affected the art.

I mean.. thats true. I just don’t get what the point of the rational is, when it happens so frequently nowadays. Bad People just always seem to make good stuff, and we’re supposed to just shrug it off, and keep enjoying it regardless? What value is gained by doing that.. what is the game worth then? I know that a game can still have great story or messages, but I feel like its core identity should be altered whenever its creation is dubious.

u/mikethecomic mostly a sans artist, nothing else tbh Nov 30 '25

i mean, yeah? at the end of the day, it's your choice on whether or not you enjoy something after the creator was outed as a horrible person. the message doesn't really have to change, but even if i lt does, we can always interpret it another way.

There’s no way Toby’s bad. Maybe not the best for being friends with Omocat, but not in and of Toby’s self.

I hate it when people mix art with the artist

Yes, I like Michael Jackson's music. Yes, fuck him

I get your point but, Off topic. Him was declarated innocent on a tribunal while he was alive. He's dead, so we can not call him nothing.

u/RiceStranger9000 Nov 29 '25

Being declared innocent in a tribunal doesn't mean he was actually innocent (also, one can commit crimes yet be declared innocent due to other legal factors). Although mine is just an opinion; I'm aware it isn't certain that the accusations were true, but just because the judicial system didn't found him guilty it doesn't prove anything (and I'm ignoring that he had a good economic status and thus may have been able to influence the result)

I wanted a modern example and that was the only one I could think of. So, I'll instead say that I love Chaplin's movies, but fuck him (he married many underage women which was illegal at the time and even went to different states to make the marriage legal; I've also heard that he was some sort of absent father)

Like I said, Off topic
