The International Age Rating Coalition don't give a darn about any of that. Ratings boards work on more of a "what you see is what you get" philosophy. Ergo, if a character <i>looks</i> like a pre-teen human girl, then the character must be <i>treated</i> like a pre-teen human girl, regardless of whether or not the "pre-teen human girl" is actually a genderless android or even a 75-million-year-old god of time-and-space.<br /><br />In any case, I'm almost <i>positive</i> that in this modern age of telecommunication and social media, where even <i>throwaway statements from thirty-years ago</i> are being documented and analyzed, something like a canon, long-time <i>Rockman</i> character suddenly being rewritten as transgender would have been <i>very</i> newsworthy – <i>especially</i> considering what a hot-button topic gender identity is, these days. Yet, the closest thing I can find to something like that is on a <i>Tumblr</i> blog which identifies her as "nonbinary" purely because she's not named "Roll <b>Girl</b>" (unlike "Mega <b>Man</b>" or "Splash <b>Woman</b>"). Though, as a counter-point, she <i>is</i> called "Roll-<b><a href="https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/-chan" rel="nofollow">chan</a></b>" by characters in Japanese media, so…Jo Li KMChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06463040155653479273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080026879350344019.post-49741820715175520002021-07-16T18:31:07.372-05:002021-07-16T18:31:07.372-05:00It's not a terrible new design.

Well, if you think about it, all the robots in Mega Man are...machines. They aren't male or female in the physical sense despite appearances. Gender is more about people's roles in society and culture, rather than biology. And...that's putting it simply. It's complicated and that's okay, people are complicated. Of course, it must just be a coincidence.
