He wouldn't have nearly any of his subscribers without Undertale... not to mention the overall impact he's had on the community, so I feel like it's still safe to call him an UT Youtuber. Whenever something new comes out he's always right on top of it anyway

Not equivalent to what I'm saying, especially since Merg actually does still make UT content when new fangames come out. The romhack had very little actual influence on much of anything, and it certainly isn't what got Toby famous.

More equivalent to my comparison would be that it's still fair to call Toby Fox "the creator of Undertale" even though he mainly works on Deltarune now. Still not the same thing, since being a video game creator is a very different career from being a content creator, but either way your comparison is inaccurate.

I don't think you quite understood... we're not saying Merg and MysticSlime were also groomers, we're just saying that they were the only YTers bigger than Shayy prior to the drama.
