Gee, I wonder why it's a problem that a character is interesting as a guy but boring an uninteresting just because nothing has changed to you but the perceived gender. It's almost like there's a whole big thing about how fandom only cares about dudes.

[(Anonymous)]

NAYRT - I don't think that's a problem either since they're all fictional. I like different characteristics in fictional dudes than in fictional ladies. A cute and fun male character could be boring and stereotypical if he was female. I'm not familiar with the fandom in the secret, but from the OP's comment that sounds like the reason?

This is not a problem because it applies only to fiction. Real people are not characters and cannot fall into gendered character tropes, so I've never thought of any real women as someone I'd like more if she were a man.

You say that but I see this used to allow double standards where female characters never ever are good enough, no matter the tropes, whereas guy characters just have to breathe.

DA

This is my experience too.

This is often true. But I can also understand that there are certain character tropes which are so commonly gendered in fiction that a reversal does come across as fresh. I can see someone being interested in a character solely because they think that character is a subvertion of a gendered trope, only to be disappointed upon finding out that it's just playing the trope straight.

Eg. a woman saving her boyfriend kidnapped by the Big Bad is refreshing to see, the opposite not so much.

they said she looked loli to them so

DA

OP should’ve said that in the secret. Kinda important context.

Also, unless this is new art from a different game, Nino doesn’t strike me as loli in Fire Emblem. More young teenager.

It's from the Fire Emblem Heroes mobile game

Actually, they said their problem with the character as a girl is that she seems loli-ish, not that she's "boring and uninteresting" now.
