for real WHERE does the idea that [utdr humans] are nongendered so that "you can project on them" come from. their literal character arcs are about NOT being a blank slate to be filled in by the audience
i think i understand the assumption on some level for undertale, because there is a very intentional effort to make you identify with the "player character" in order to make your choices feel like your own (the beating heart of undertale's metanarrative lies in giving you an alternative path to violence against its enemies after all, and whether you're still willing to persue it for your own selfish reasons. YOUR agency is crucial).
of course, the cardinal plot twist of the main ending sweeps the rug from under your feet on that in every way, and frisk's individuality becomes, in turn, a tool to further UT's OTHER main theme: completionism as a form of diegetic violence within the story. replaying the game would steal frisk's life and happy ending from them for our own perverse sentimentality, emotionally forcing our hand away from the reset button.
i think their neutrality absolutely aids in that immersion. but also, there's this weird attitude by (mostly) cis fans where it being functional within the story makes it... somehow "editable" and "up to the player" as well? which is gross and shows their ass on how they approach gender neutrality in general lol.
but also like. there's plenty of neutral, non PCharacters in undertale and deltarune. even when undertale was just an earthbound fangame and the player immersion metanarrative was completely absent, toby still described frisk as a "young, androgynous person". sometimes characters are just neutral by design. it's not that hard to understand lol.
anyone who makes this argument for kris deltarune is braindead. nothing else to say about it.

Pokemon Reborn MC ask game
I was looking for a Reborn ask game, but found nothing, so I thought I'd make my own! :D
What was their life like before going to Reborn? (were they a pokemon trainer already? Were they studying to be/working as something else?)
Why did they go specifically to Reborn for the league? (no league in their region? Interested in Reborn specifically for any reason?)
What's their starter and/or ace pokemon?
What's their usual pokemon team?
How many pokemons do they have? Is their PC full of them or do they keep it small? Do they train them all equally?
Are they interested in completing the pokedex?
If they were a gym leader or E4, what would their type(s), team, and field be? For the gym leader option, what kind of puzzle would they have in their gym?
How do they feel about their champion title?
What team and field would they use to defend their champion title? How would they decorate the champion room?
Which of the other characters do they like the most? Why?
Which of the other characters do they dislike the most? Why?
Was any battle (gym, E4, PULSE, etc.) particularly difficult for them?
Was any puzzle (gym, quest, victory road, etc.) particularly difficult for them?
Did they do the Reshiram or Zekrom route? Feel free to elaborate on how they felt about events relevant to that route.
Did they do the 'Anna smiles' route? If not, which of the criteria did/didn't they meet? Feel free to elaborate on why they acted like they did.
What would Cain have seen of them in the black hole? (aka: traumas, I'm asking about their traumas)
What would they monologue about if they were caught in an umbral? (aka: traumas once again, but filtered through their own words this time)
Speaking of umbrals, which character(s) were they the happiest to get back? Are there any that they wish didn't come back?
What's their favourite legendary?
What's their favourite post-game quest?
Any favourite place(s) in Reborn (including New Worlds)?
Any places they absolutely hate in Reborn (including New Worlds)?
If they were a pokemon, what type would they be? (there's a test in the game for this!)
Tell us something about them you wanted an excuse to share!
Now feel free to send your questions!~
