Okay, now I'm not here much these days, but I still very much follow the HTF fandom very much, and I happen to come back here to see all of this stuff here about Flaky's gender and everything, plus this big argument that has arise from it. Now, I am very shocked to see in 2016 this entire debate rise up again, as I thought we settled this years back, but it apparently has become an important issue again.

So first off, I will say that the canon here is that Flaky is indeed a girl, as it has been confirmed by the writers of the show, and I think the large majority of the fanbase has come to terms with that canon and have accepted it. Thus, I believe that it is only necessary, as a wiki, to keep Flaky as 'female' under her gender identification.

However, I do find it unnecessary to try and force other members of the fandom to accept this canon as truth or not and make them agree to it mainly for this: there is absolutely no point into doing it, and it's not really anything worth fighting over. It's a fandom, people can work and create things involving them in whatever manner they see fit, even if it involves changing their gender, sexuality, etc. I've seen ton of homosexual, asexual, transgender, and all of that kind of works in stories and artworks, and even if that is not entirely canon, I find no point in arguing with others about it as people have their right to do works with them as they see fit. It's not a matter of being canon or PC or any of that stuff, it just letting people do what they want to do with these characters in their fan works.

Now, that's my assumption of what's going on here. I'm still heavily confused on what brought this entire thing up and why it had to be brought up when it has been going smooth and quiet all this time. Nonetheless, the best thing to do here now is to just to basically shut up and let it be. This entire debate and fighting is causing nothing but trouble and arguments that will never go anywhere. Just let this go, move on with our lives, and just... stop.
