Toad, Toadette, and Gender

[Sengir]

Blank/Sengir/whatever you prefer, looking through the thread again, not one time did anyone say that genderless characters don't belong in Mario or any game for that matter.

but there has been a resistance to the idea of genderless toads
like grasping at straws

"they can't be genderless! oh my goodness! what will the kids think!
somebody check the manual for super mario pinball for gendered pronouns!
there has to be a way out of this!"

its like a rush to disprove koichi hayashida's statement and it reeks of desperation.

but Toadette already identifies as a gender.

no, she has a "gendered appearance"
thats what started this thread
