The Mettaton lore was actually pretty hidden originally, you had to figure out how to get into the ghost house to read his diaries, and then you could find out he was a genderless ghost experiencing dysphoria, and moved to the city where Alphys built him a male robot body to make him more comfortable.
In the Switch version, one of his ghost siblings, who was originally the mad dummy, possesses an anime catgirl doll and realizes she's happier as a catgirl. Her story in the Switch version is more obviously trans, after a lot of people tried to dismiss the trans-ness of Mettaton in the original release.
I once saw on tumblr a deltarune and homestuck fan who was also somehow homophobic, transphobic, racist, radfem, and an incel.
The beauty of the internet everyone
Transphobic undertale fans exist? Damn, can't have the games by Toby Fox where nonbinary protagonists and lesbian couples as major plot points as my favorite games anymore.
We love mettaton, we will stand our king
how in the world did I miss this mettaton lore
In Undertale, all ghosts are genderless by default, but when they possess a body they take on the gender of the body, hence him being trans

I knew about mad mew mew but not mettaton. neat
all the ghosts use they/them by default and change when they find a body and alphys made ghost mettaton a body to possess
People use Undertale for transphobic stuff??
Undertale and transphobia/any bigotry are oxymorons
