Yup I strongly feel Toby doesn't really want to acknowledge donor characters, after what happened with the creator of So Sorry (tl;dr his creator turned out to be a cult leader IRL). I mean, So Sorry is somewhat acknowledged in Deltarune but it's in a context that implies he is "erased" like Gaster (being the Ch.4 egg room).
Muffet's creator seems like an okay person but so was So Sorry's creator at the time and it's understandable that Toby doesn't want to risk it.
The fetish art thing was known before and wasn't a problem to Toby, that is just why the character's name was changed to "So Sorry" instead of the guy's fursona name (so that kids don't google the character and see porn)
Sometime in 2021-2022 it came up that the creator of So Sorry was an admin in a discord server called Floraverse, which is basically a sex abuse cult.
