The greatest threat to modern civilization: a pixelated teenager with no confirmed pronouns. Gather the pitchforks and cancel your internet - Deltarune is woke now. That’s right. Kris, the silent protagonist of Deltarune, does not have a clearly stated gender. Which obviously means the end of culture, logic, and probably gravity itself.

Let’s pause to clutch our pearls and ask the important question no one asked: WHY IS KRIS NON-BINARY?!

Well, first off - they're not. Or maybe they are. Or maybe, just maybe, it doesn’t matter because it’s a video game, not your uncle's church group.

Still, for the folks panicking because a sprite doesn’t have an “M” or “F” stamped on their forehead, let’s look at this grave injustice


Kris is referred to using theythem pronouns in the game code and fan discussions.

The game never confirms Kris’s gender, because shockingly, it’s not relevant to the story.

Toby Fox - the mastermind behind Undertale and Deltarune - dares to create characters that are nuanced, ambiguous, and not locked into binary boxes! HOW DARE HE!



Clearly, this is a radical leftist conspiracy to make you question the gender identity of fictional characters, which is definitely the gateway drug to society collapsing. Today it’s Kris. Tomorrow it’s Mario coming out as genderfluid and Doomguy using neopronouns. Where will the madness end

Let’s ignore the fact that

Characters like Link, Frisk, and Kirby have been ambiguously gendered or outright non-binary-coded for decades.

Fiction has always played with identity - especially in fantasy settings where, you know, people shoot fire out of their hands and ride stars across galaxies.

And let’s especially ignore that using “they” for a person whose gender is unknown has been a thing in English since Shakespeare was in diapers.

But no, no - Kris is clearly part of the woke agenda, right up there with oat milk and affordable insulin. It’s not that the developers wanted everyone to project their own experience onto the silent protagonist. No. It’s because they hate freedom.

The real kicker Kris being non-binary (or at least not being explicitly gendered) actually allows every single player to see themselves in the character. Radical, I know. But maybe, just maybe, that’s kind of beautiful

In conclusion, if Kris’s gender identity threatens your worldview, I have bad news you're not fighting a cultural war. You're getting owned by a fictional teenager in a striped sweater.
