I love how people are arguing about the gender of a robot, which is being posed by a ghost and not saying much about the anything else, This is that freaking dress all over again.

Ugh. People and their "gender identity" bull. Soul itself was never implied to have gender in this game. Hosts have genders, but souls are just... colorful hearts. They seem to be treated as resource, as much as Determination was, which was shown in Alphys' research . Flowey had no soul, and yet his gender was quite obvious, so It's the body that makes the difference, right? He was reincarnated Asriel, who was also a boy. If lack of soul didn't change him to a hermaphrodyte, why would presence of soul change some other monster from male to female? Thus, a soul being transferred to another body would not change any genders, just grant the ability to feel Flowey implied that he couldn't feel because he had no soul, so that must be its role, as far as I understand . If Mettaton thought of himself as female, he would be referred to as female. It's like some people just want to make everything complicated.
I don't know what kind of perfect world you're imagining, but it sure as hell ain't this one.
No one is banding together, the thing you see here is just crossover fan art (with ponies mind you, which have crossovers pumped out for almost everything already). Your assumption is way overfetched.
But even if the fandoms did somehow manage to "merge" together, the only place that would benefit would probably be deviantart.
Me: "Jump off the nest"
You: "But I will fall"
Me: "Flap your wings really hard!"
You: "But what if I still fall?"
Me: "It's worth a shot, you're a freakin sparrow"
You're right that you may fall.
But you're wrong about not acknowledging the good outcome that may yet to come.
Right, because blind pessimism is a form of "intelligence".
You are a fearmonger, and care more about your own convenience than the convenience of others. I want people to share their preferences, not alienate eachother for them.
This is the foundation of humanity.
But you're afraid to step forward and give it a try.
Friendship through a computer screen is as valid as logic through a computer screen.
What you say is true, but the absolute worst case scenario without taking into account the positive outcomes.
As the ancient hawaiians used to say;
"The bird that feared heights never flew, and starved in its nest."
It's really hard to argue with you becaue you base most of your arguments on emotion and ideals.
But I digress, my point was about how the merging of fandoms would be a good thing. And by that I meant for this site.
Funnyjunk is not a place for fandoms like Steven Universe, Undertale, MLP or Adventure Time. It is a media sharing, point based image board where people from all around the world can find a few laughs and a place to relax.
What do you think would happen if suddenly the site minority became the majority?
A lot of people would leave, as the site would be transformed. Which was my point all along.
All this talk about fear and pessimism is what you project onto the site. Because if I'm against something you value on an emotional level, I'm a weakling.
Tito, I like you. I like a lot of people. My heart is not made of stone and I do not fear what's beyond my comfort zone.
But you have to understand, reality and the internet are two very different places.
The issue is... people have already left FJ because of its hostility towards pretty much everything. Front page posts used to need 1500 thumbs up.
Sometimes 2000.
Now all you need is 300 to get up there.
Based on how only 1 in 30 actually vote, this is a
Wanna know how recent this change was? Since 2011, when your site alienated a massive fandom.
Then when FJ became too good for memes, those people went to reddit and gave that site more ad profit. Based on a sample statistic, FJ's active userbase population has gone down more than 75% in less than 5 years.
And now out of that small handful of remaining users, a huge chunk of us use Adblock.
Admin is barely able keep this site up with pocket change.
I think it's fair to say that FJ has been destroyed beyond repair as it is, so why not reset the community, and welcome back the people that were ostracized?
I'm going to make a channel for that.
Don't remember if any of the characters call him a he but when you fight him and he goes to his android form, he exclaims a flamboyant "Ooooh yes!" line in a very flamboyant male voice.
could be both, like, one of these screwdrivers that have the magnetically attached heads that when you take the cap off the other side there are like 20 other verities. They are a binary gender, I can tell that much.
it's dude. people are claiming he's trans or whatever but i always saw him more as one of those glam personalities from the eighties. everyone looked a bit weird back there.
Ok, I don't know who to reply to, so I'll just make new comment.
Mettaton is a male robot, which houses and is controlled by a ghost that was previously female.
It's ***** , but that how it goes.
I've never seen alphys make that face at all in the game, Wheres that face from? Is it the hidden sex scene that people tought was real because college made a video on it They never made a video like that, but they did make a pokeman video like that, Dont look it up, its bad.
