I don't get fandom

[rekall]

Is it really that big of a deal if a character we thought was male turned out to be female? If it's true (there's no proof), it's not like the character's personality would suddenly change.

btw, for those curious, the fandom freak-out was due to this page (Spoiler's Alert) from chapter 19 of Kuroshitsuji. It's gotten some fans to start thinking that a hawt male is a hawt female.

I love androgenous women so I wouldn't know. I suppose some people are mourning the (possible) loss of a hawt guy because they are not interested in a hawt girl. It is a bit silly, especially if there is no shortage of male eyecandy in the first place.

I don't read Kuroshitsuji (yet) but to me that looks like a guy's mouth. The eyes could be either. Or it might be ungendered character. Who knows!

Kuroshitsuji especially has no shortage on hot guys (okay, the one is gay so he probably doesn't count but the others are straight! ...I think; I'm suspicious about two others).

Ungendered is certainly a possibility. The mouth and finger look like a guys while the eyes and legs look more feminine.
