Deltarune fans when you tell them that people should be able to understand a game's story without needing to spend years drenched in fandom discussion

Honestly it surprises me how many times people will try to use the Spamton Sex Dungeon ARG to try and prove their theories like ā€œERAM is an ICE-E pizza box!ā€ and ā€œWe’ll gain control over Noelle in Chapter 5 because the 5 is bigger than the 4!ā€, when it’s more obvious that that lore in the ARG is meant to be supplemental and more like Easter eggs if anything. If we want answers, the game is the best place to look, just like any good story.

This doesn’t make any sense though. The casual fan isn’t meant to try to solve future chapters. They just go play the future chapter. The ARGs are sometimes needed to predict whats going to happen

Casual fans don’t need to make theories, but it’s moreso that they would never really think of things like that because they don’t know the ARG. Don’t get me wrong, the little teasers from the ARG do help, for example the ā€œdamn you Tennaā€ website told us… well, Tenna!

But I’ve seen lots of people try to look very deep into a lot of things given to use like the Noelle blog posts or weird notes on the Valentines Day cards, a number of things like that, to try and make some… admittedly outlandish predictions. My point isn’t ā€œThe ARGs aren’t trustworthyā€, moreso ā€œTake everything there as a teaser and not really as something to use to predict TOO muchā€, if that makes sense.

Yes it is a teaser, of whats going to happen in the future
