Okay, so obviously I know Mettaton is a male since it is clearly stated in the game and all, but what I don't understand is why this is even debated. If you go on any Undertale video on youtube with Mettaton as the main focus, more often than not, you'll find arguments on whether Mettaton is a male or female. Why? I understand Mettaton's looks are more feminine than most males, and yes, I understand ghosts technically have no gender, so his transition from a noncorporeal ghost to a male entertainment robot can be labelled as a sort of trans gendered operation. I can accept and understand those arguments, but in the end, that would still make Mettaton a male, yet people still insist on referring to Mettaton as a female.

I've heard: "Oh, look at Mettaton's room, it's all pink and girly, so obviously Mettaton's a girl," or "Look at the shape of Mettaon's figure, no man can look like that." (ignoring the fact that he has a robot body and could look like a fricking shoe, if that's what he really wanted--I'm sure Alphys could work something out.) And other asinine comments of similar nature.

Thoughts?
