Y’all don’t agree Deltarune is a particularly white game?
Me being a brown muslim immigrant non-american person, am 100% of the time an outsider looking in, when playing Deltarune. I “get” the references and jokes and sense of humors through
second hand experiences, from pop culture, but I never had them myself.
Like, I get it’s an
American game with american everything but…I feel like it’s also a kinda sorta suburban, affluent white christian neighborhood kinda game. I tried imagining if they’s black american or latino american, or
asian american but I don’t see it.
Deltarune feels like a
default suburban experience and according to the american media I’ve consumed, the default is
white.
Now it don’t make it a bad game or anything. I LOVE Deltarune, but with every other media I consume, be it anime vidya or cartoon I always find myself never really “getting” it. I cannot emphatize. I can
pretend to, or guesstimate what it feels like, but I can’t ever really say “LOL yeah that’s so true!” whenever something happens.
