>would feel the same way or worse about Notch and ConcernedApe who are exponentially more successful
...except Notch and ConcernedApe aren't in the mainstream Japanese video game industry as active developers, despite their games being popular in Japan. People superfit their envy of Toby Fox's success, sure, but it's really the envy of his acceptance into a community of designers and creatives they fetishize.
>moving to Japan with the explicit purpose of bothering Japanese veteran devs into hanging out and working with you
ah, you cope by thinking he's "bothering" them. lol, lmao. yeah, he definitely "bothered" industry superstar Sakurai into just giving him a music showcase on Smash just so Toby would be shooed away. okay buddy
>tumblry GameMaker RPG somehow places you in the same bracket as them is pretentious (and insufferable)
dude, just give it up, you lost. both Japanese and non-Japanese love Undertale for a myriad of reasons. this whole cross you're bearing over much Tumblr identity circa 2013 has been a long lost cultural moment for over a decade.
>if you love Japan you should not be cheering for any westerners moving there, especially socially subversive ones
Ah yes, the "I *really* love Japan, and that's how I know what's best for her!" rhetoric. Always notice how it's other gaijin trying to gatekeep the acceptance of westerners into Japanese gaming out of a sense of "Japanese tastes" or the "sanctity of Japanese media."
This is what I meant by envy. Nothing in this post actually makes sense as criticism unless you tacitly believe that Toby shouldn't be accepted into Japanese creator circles because he somehow doesn't fit the mythical character type that losers at home have created a complex about.
