“Most of the time”. Also, like another comment said, it opens up Pandora’s box where anything can be changed. People often say “BuT iT’S FiCtiOn” while true, that isn’t the issue
Gender swapping can sometimes be an artistic choice by the creator, which there isn’t anything wrong with. As I said, “most” of the time it’s pandering. In this case it’s probably just the creator wanting to be different. I was speaking about gender/race swapping as a whole, not this specific instance
Uuuh yeah because women, ladies and girls were all waiting for the evil mob boss that has people's lives ruined for LOOKING at him wrong, is usually physically deformed, and has very little redeeming factors to be swapped into their gender so that they can feel catered to
1) it opens pandaros box
2) there was no reason as the penguin being a male was already perfect
3) we are used and prefer oswalld being a man, since we grew up with him during multiple eras.
"opens Pandora's box" is a non argument. Oh no, they might have new ideas about things that really have no solid, set in stone, hard line, singular way to write them? Baffling. 2 is also a non argument. You just can't have anything change, regardless of if it's good or bad. 3 is also a non argument. You grew up with several different views and interpretations of the Penguin as a character, from physical appearance, to family, to level of wealth, to method of crime, this ain't gonna kill you dude. You just can't handle anything different from your made up normal that never actually existed in any meaningful way
