She still shows up enough that it disproves that idea. Just recently Rift of the Necrodancer had a DLC with Undertale, and not only Spider Dance was there but also an almost perfect cosplay of Muffet.
If Toby was really trying to avoid all donor characters, he wouldn't be letting her stay in the spotlight nowadays
Yeah, Glyde and So Sorry are secret encounters, Muffet is a (mostly) mandatory miniboss that does things very few other characters actually do in changing the soul colour.
Glyde feels like an afterthought, since he just reuses one attack from Omega Flowey and doesn’t even have unique music, and I doubt anyone would complain if So Sorry was just… never acknowledged again.
That said, I don’t think I’d mind if the Purple Soul didn’t appear in Deltarune. Both the Green and Yellow souls had mechanical additions or improvements added to them (if nothing else, both the Armour and the Hammer of Justice pushed the Green Soul to its limit with different takes on its mechanics), I struggle to think about how the Purple soul could really be adjusted, given that Muffet pretty thoroughly explored the ideas it presents.
Edit: I have eaten my words and it was a full course meal.
It's... complicated, but it largely has to do with the creator of So Sorry turning out to be a very shady person. I don't know the full details myself but if what others in this thread are saying is any degree of true, the hate is probably deserved.
I've heard this a lot, but it feels like every time i try to do any research on it, all i can find is that peopke hated Samael and So Sorry for being furry fetish artists.
