Deltarune might be worth checking out for the purposes of this project as mentioned above, seeing how Chapter 4 goes, especially with the evil route, which might be the sign of Toby's downfall. Chapter 5 may or may not continue this plotline and will SUPPOSEDLY release in 2026, maybe around this month (yeah, right), in case you're still doing these series by then.

TOBY FOX LOLCOW THREAD (revival) BY CHAPTER 7'S RELEASE (doesn't have the same ring as Deltarune tomorrow, but whatever). I guess he should take this as a wakeup call to get a tard wrangler.

I don't think that would be feasable, Toby is a highly discrete person that keeps to himself, we don't know much about his personal life beyond what he told and the only source of potential info, the MS Paint forums where lost to the void courtesy of a botched server migration

Case IV will be the final case in The Tumblr Files. If I'm up to it, the next thing I will do will be creating threads/write-ups for people/communities who are long-overdue for documentation.

I don't think that's the scene, this is.

Note that it can only be accessed through the Snowgrave route, which you have to go completely out of your way to trigger where you put a thorn ring onto Noelle's finger which makes her stronger from pain or something like that, take her on a rampage and have her possibly kill one of her friends. Mid-way through, she walks off mortified at what she's done. Some addtional context to the scene, the player controls Kris with the SOUL, which he sometimes removes, between chapter 2 and 4, he at some point went to Noelle to comfort her and told her it didn't happen. He tries to stop her when brings up that Kris came to her after the route, but it brings up a dialogue which brings the SOUL back on screen and from there you regain control of Kris. The game gives you at least 3 chances to back out.

EDIT: I don't think it's supposed to be literal rape, but representative of her losing her innocence. Apparently despite the game being in development for 3 years, no one on the team, the playtesters or the people granting it ratings thought someone could think it was rape.

>game where the gender-special protagonist rapes a natal woman
What did Toby meant by this?

At least he has the impulse control to do so. Can't imagine otherwise.

Very good - I guess "Case V" (Not really, "additions" would be it) would be "what happened to SU, U/D, said communities, etc) to keep an eye out to them.

I think if there's anyone worth keeping an eye on going forward, it's Gigi D.G. We know now that she has Troll's Remorse, DFE'd a bunch of her stuff, became a progressive genderspecial, has a webcomic that went the way of Steven Universe, is currently working directly with Toby on Deltarune, has worked with many other individuals in the progressive art scene, etc. The pic that accompanied her interview with Toby pretty much says it all:

So, they killed any chance at ambiguity and symbolism so that a rape drama can't be made, as Kris is "only" mind-raping her, and that's totally fine!
Dammit Toby, you had one job, and now it isn't even yours anymore!

I think it's too late for them, all the shitposters planted "Noelle: THE RAPED" memes in many peoples mind and it's not going away.

I'm still surprised how the dev team DIDN'T see the strong implications of the "rose withering away" imagery. 🤦‍♂️

Given Gumball, Regular Show, Adventure Time, Foster's Home, and PowerPuff are all getting spinoffs/revivals for streaming, this isn't too surprising. I guess the episode this series is named after/based on was a backdoor pilot? What makes this notable is that it's a part of WB's initiative to license out CN's IPs to other streamers, rather than make shows for HBO Max, like how Gumball's gonna be on Hulu.
