Undertale was absolutely not an attack on the community. It was totally different to Draven, who didnt even win legit. Draven featured a toxic invasion of the board from a fanbase renowned for its hostility. With Undertale the toxicity sadly came from within Board 8. Now to be fair it was mainly just a few of the typical bad actors but they were very loud and still have not stopped. I was embarrassed for Board 8 then.

Now, were the vote totals disproportionate? Not important in any way, thats how rallies and dedicated fanbases work. Besides, Undertale was blowing up in popularity at that time, so only a small percentage of its players needed to have voted. Didnt it sell a million copies on Steam alone in 2015, not even all of its sales? I guarantee that there have been JRPGs that have had a much bigger proportion of their total playerbase vote than Undertale did.

The fact is the 2015 Undertale fanbase was very warm and welcoming community full of love for the game that rallied it because they genuinely thought it was the best. Ironically I wound up rooting against it because I knew what the backlash would be and it is a wonderful game that didnt deserve that.
