    Eh I’ll always know kirby as male essentially but you might as well toss spongebob in there too for sponge gender

      You’ve been given new information but your response is that it doesn’t fit your preconceptions so you’re going to dismiss it?

      It’s certainly true that in Japanese, Kirby is presented in a very gender-unspecified manner - which is a language trick English couldn’t emulate.

        Well I always liked that kirby didn’t fit the norm as a kid, not a lot of male characters feel the same kirby and know nintendo isn’t know for being full of big buff edgy dudes but still it’s nice to have a soft pink male hero

        Dude it’s a fictional character. People can believe Kirby is whatever they want.
