I don't see why the vote is even necessary. Of course, it's a more efficient way of doing things, but the confirmation made on Reddit in 2014 is a lot more reliable and acceptable than the one made two years earlier in 2012 on their Twitter account. Let's look at the two posts in comparison again, shall we?

The one on Twitter doesn't take into consideration what was being said by the opposing party. It simply states "Flaky is a Girl", providing no valid evidence for the claim being made apart from "I call her a Girl all the time", which is completely subjective and doesn't provide any actual evidence for the claim being true.

So let's look at the "overwhelming" evidence we have for Flaky being a Girl. And, for your entertainment, let me disprove it for you.

"Flaky is voiced by a Female voice actor/sounds feminine" - Sniffles and Cub are also voiced by Female voice actors, and they're both explicitly Male.

"Flaky has pink accessories/posessions" - ...So? Boys can like the colour pink, too, remember? I mean, what happened to the "Girl's don't have to have eyelashes" argument? Isn't this the same idea?

"Kenn Navarro and Warren Graff both think that Flaky is a Girl" - You may think "Aha! We've got him on something" ...however, Kenn Navarro put this opinion aside to confirm that Flaky's gender can go any way in the very screenshot you see above. Also, never, in any one of the posts Graff made saying Flaky was a Girl, did he provide actual evidence for it. And, if he did, it probably falls under the list of points I'm currently covering.

"Flaky went into the Girl's bathroom in Somethin' Fishy" - No, he didn't. He went into the Males. If he'd have gone into the Female's bathroom, there would have been blood behind him from when Giggles and Petunia were just brutally murdered in the toilets. And, before you say "That was just an animation error", explain to me how he could've been in the same room as them and not run for his damn life when he heard Giggles and Petunia screeching in pain while being devoured? He was in a different room...

"Flaky attended a Girl's only party in Royal Flush" - Now, I'll admit, this post would be a valid point to make, but it can be debunked and, when you get down to it, doesn't have much validity. If it was Petunia or Giggles that arrived uninvited, Lammy probably would have just giggled and let them in, but she hesitated.

Now, someone said earlier this is because Flaky might have been uninvited, or turned up late, or Lammy may not have expected Flaky to build up the guts to show up. However, again, I can disprove these. If Flaky was uninvited, I doubt Lammy would have cared. In fact, Lammy is shown as a kind, compassionate, caring character who feels genuine remorse whenever she witnesses another character's death. In fact, when she is framed for he killings by Mr. Pickle, she's frantic to try and explain herself. I think that, as a character who holds that level of compassion, Lammy wouldn't care if Flaky showed up late or wasn't invited, but she hesitated anyway. Also, I'd like to point out that we've never really seen Lammy and Flaky interact before this episode. In fact, the closest we've seen to them interacting is Flaky fleeing from Lammy when he thinks she's a murderer. You expect me to believe that Lammy can know about Flaky being anxious when she's never actually spent time with him or made an attempt to get to know him before that episode?

Lammy hesitated to let Flaky in, and seemed confused, because Flaky is not Female. And it's unheard of for a Male to show up at a Girl's only party, or any tea party in general, because they'd get laughed at. I mean, look at Flaky. He's genuinely, visibly anxious and worried. Of course she was surprised to see him. He's a guy.

Back to the posts on Twitter and Reddit.

We've already established that the post on Twitter was subjective, displayed no evidence, and was biased against those who thought Flaky was Male, regardless of what the majority thought. The whole theory that Flaky is a Girl came out of nowhere. In fact, the reason it all started before 2012 was merely because Flaky had a Female voice actor, which I have just established isn't valid evidence for his gender. The 2012 confirmation refers to only one side of the discussion and, regardless of who it came from, means it wasn't neutral and it definitely wasn't non-biased.

What about the 2014 Reddit confirmation that Flaky's gender is up to interpretation?

This post referred to both sides of the argument, as well as acknowledging the two main points of evidence that supposedly backed up both sides of the dispute. The main point from the idea that Flaky was a Boy came from Rhode Montijo, the person who designed Flaky, designing him initially as Male, and continuing to refer to him as Male ever since. The main point from the idea that Flaky was a Girl came from the fact that he had a Female voice actor, Nica Lorber. However, and, yes, I'm saying it a third time, we've just established that this point holds no validity at all, haven't we?

The confirmation on Reddit refers to both sides of the argument. Meaning it is much more neutral and non-biased than the one back in 2014. It is also more recent and, given the fact that Kenn Navarro contradicts the statements made in 2012's Twitter post, this makes the Twitter confirmation not only outdated but obsolete as well. I mean, come on! Before he reaches the conclusion of the confirmation, he states that he, personally, believes that Flaky is a Girl. He sets his own opinion aside to conclude that Flaky has no gender and is fully up to interpretation. Shouldn't THAT be enough for you? It's much less subjective and biased than Twitter's 2012 confirmation, and tends to land itself on the more objective and reliable spectrum when it comes to the information mentioned in the post.

It goes without saying, the confirmation from Reddit is more detailed, more recent, less biased, more neutral, the conclusion is not subjective and is ultimately more reliable and valid than the information given on Twitter. I was told that this wiki survived by making sure that the information it displays is 100% factual, non-subjective and can be trusted when it comes to validity. I mean, Hell, I was given a warning for adding false, non-reliable information to Flaky's page, which admittedly I shouldn't have done The confirmation post that Flaky was a Girl was biased, under-detailed, abrupt and subjective. If you wont follow your own damn guidelines, then what sort of example are you setting?

The confirmation from Reddit is simply more valid and solid than the older one from 2012. That's the long and short of it. Evidence is shown, opinions are set aside and both sides of the discussion are addressed. The Twitter post did none of those things. None of you have yet been able to attack my argument and dent its' validity. None of you have been able to prove my argument wrong. yet, most of you still treat me like some deluded maniac that merely wants his precious little headcanons to become canon. Don't you see? The post that confirmed Flaky is a Girl is so invalid that the fact his gender is set to "Female" on his page means that you're displaying biased, invalid, untrustworthy information on his page. By changing it to "Unknown", we'd be using non-biased, neutral information. Setting the gender to "Unknown" doesn't rule out the possibility that Flaky is a Girl, and it doesn't rule out the possibility that he's a Boy, either. I mean, Navarro literally stated that his gender is very much open to interpretation. We're merely stating that both possibilities are at least likely and not excluding an entire side of the debate.

I don't really think there's much more for me to say. The information suggesting that Flaky's gender is Unknown not only outweighs and out-validates the information suggesting he is a Girl, but it is also much more believable and realistic, and acknowledges both sides of this debate. My argument is solid. As solid as steel. Denying that Flaky's gender being changed to "Unknown" would not only be more valid than keeping it as Female, but would be based on much more reliable information than the gender it is right now. I mean, this is a wikipedia, for Christ's sake. It's supposed to state solid, pure facts. The idea that Flaky is Female can easily be proved wrong. As long as we're displaying information that holds no validity or reliability, we're not only being plain ignorant, but we're not exactly doing a good job as a wiki, are we?
