I've been around the fandom for a while and seen quite a few things. Probably one of the most common things I've seen is gender-bending characters, swapping women into men and vice versa. This happens with everything from personal, original characters to well-liked "celebrities" from popular shows and video games (not touching Renamon; people make their own assumptions). However, there is something odd I've noticed.

I've seen a lot of art depicting Sly Cooper as a woman. Femme Cooper seems to be very popular with the fandom, especially those who liked the TG stuff. Yet I can't ever recall someone drawing Carmelita Fox as a man! Why is this? Is she just not as popular, or do people prefer TG when it's man to woman? Are people just biased? I'm clueless here. I mean, I'm straight and yet I think Carmelita would make a very handsome, sexy man.

After all, she's Latino. Imagine her as a man with broad shoulders, ripped body and long, flowing hair. Now add your favorite Latino accent (which I'm sure many of them will assure you there's more than one =P) and you've got a sexy hunk to make the ladies weak in the knees.

Honestly, why has no one done this? I've seen a male Krystal for heaven's sake! Why no love for Interpol's hottest inspector?

*shrugs* Maybe I'm just a crazy fanboy...
