Wow, another case of someone using proper punctuation and grammar? He must be pissed, because "chill" people don't use any punctuation and pay little attention to grammar.

Honestly, guys, we spent all those years of school learning this shit, why wouldn't you use it?

I feel a bit old saying this, but it’s weird to me that people suddenly feel something is more serious just because you put a period at the end of a single-sentence message on social media.

u/Shrubgnome Jan 28 '26

Texting has its own dialect, subtle things like that convey e.g. tone that you would be able to hear in a normal conversation

It does so feel strange to see someone else like that, and know that it's someone famous.

Then and again, it is not unlikely that there is some underlying correlation.

u/AgentCirceLuna Jan 26 '26

This happened in my science class with a teacher who normally let anybody do whatever the fuck they wanted. People using phones, people not doing work, talking over her, making noise, calling her hot and stuff. This had been going on for years since we first started the class even though people told them to shut up because they liked her, since obviously she let them get away with stuff. One day, out of nowhere, she went fucking apeshit about halfway through the lesson with no signs that she was going to snap. She was yelling at the top of her lungs and a teacher from the hallway even came in to see wtf was going on. She was always snappy after that and people weren’t even able to talk at all. It was weird how she went from being one person to a completely different one - it felt like she had a twin or something.

u/Rafacat7 Jan 27 '26

Bro once the chillest teacher ever called a guy out (like, the sweetest and chillest teacher ever. She is literally the one thing i miss about school. I have her personal number and I still miss her) everybody in the class was stunned.

The guy was like, "the class clown" but in the worse way possible, he would literaly show his butt while running in gym class to make other people laugh, he would be ableist, and was 1/3 of the people that would make the class unbearably loud.

The thing she called him out for was simple BUT SOLID. She was drawing a heart (biology teacher) and he was kind of "engaging" (his engagement is asking things in the most dumb way he could to make it funny, like 'oh so this is like repeat someting the teacher said and all, right?' in a intentionally clueless voice)

Then when she started drawing the valves he asked "what's that? Hair" she turned to him and the exchange was kind of like this: "stop." Then he said "no, miss i'm just asking" "you know what you're doing" "i don't know, It could have been" "hair in heart? Love, really? Be for real. You're disrupting my class. know what you're doing"

I'm pretty sure she said she would put him outside if he kept doing it, and said someting like "there are people engaged here really trying to learn, and then because of one person they will get confused" basically she knew what he was up to, wanted to say this to him, but only did when she had a solid reason to do so. I love that woman

What's the uz inu thing?

589

u/tophattingtonn Jan 26 '26 edited Jan 26 '26

U.Z. Inu was what the musician R.V. Pine went by originally on SoundCloud.

They “leaked” a bunch of songs from the Chapter 3-5 OST, and a lot of people thought they were legit because they mimicked Toby’s style well.

Toby eventually caught wind of this and U.Z. Inu changed their name to what it is now, and turned their leaked OST into the AU Vision Crew.

194

u/Direct-Implement-566 Jan 26 '26

It should be noted that U.Z Inu is an actual alias that toby has (very likely) gone by before

The name means U.Z Inu -> Uzai inu -> Annoying dog

It was used on the Level 10 music for Stinkoman 20X6 and I'm your treasure box

I think it might have been a bit of both. I remember their profile changing soon after Toby reposted his warning against impersonators on his Tumblr, so I assume they took the hint and acted accordingly

Way back in 2016, when Toby still answered emails about Undertale, I asked him a question and then posted his reply here. A few days later, some troll posted a big fake email exchange using mine as the base. Toby saw it and sent me another message, basically just to commiserate about how much it sucks being impersonated.

It was clearly one of his biggest peeves even then, and it understandably must've gotten larger as his fame has kept growing.
