Category talk:Variable gender characters
From MediaWiki
Are there really enough characters to justify this category? Interrobang 02:09, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
- I really don't see much of a point to this.--TVsGrady 02:13, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
- Especially since most of the characters who would appear in this, like Sonar and the Extreme Competition Team, never actually had their "gender" defined until the supposed "switch"? --M Sipher 02:28, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
- At least five of them are clear cases of a character being "he" in one place and "she" in another. The Extreme Comp. Team pages use "he" for the Japanese toy, is that just an "assumed" he? Is "she" the only official gender those characters have had?
- Anyway, are five unambiguous cases and four borderline cases enough to justify a category? JW 02:32, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
- As to whether this category should exist at all: The fact that some TF characters have been presented as both genders is a multi-faceted phenomenon, says interesting things about people's expectations about gender identity and balance, and is also nigh-unique to the TF brand. (This doesn't happen to G.I. Joe characters, youbetcha.) I think it's worth a category, and may do a page on it some day. JW 02:43, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
