The worst kind of Deltarune analysis
"Oh hey, this is a game about the existential horror of living both as a queer person and a racial minority in an otherwise homogenous and deeply religious conservative small rural town, as well as the stagnancy of unresolved grief and trauma. I wonder if there's any interesting analysis-"
"ERRRM GASTER? GASTER IN THE CODE? GASTER GREEN??? GASTER 6 7?

I am so thankful the fandom wasn't my introduction to this game because 80% of the fandom seems allergic to any analysis that is actually trying to analyze what the work is saying thematically and isn't just Easter Egg hunting for Gaster lore.
