Saw the flower news while at work, but got knocked off the internet when trying to reply. Wow, the design is very interesting! I like it, it's cute and quirky... but I'm not looking forward to having the whole argument pop up yet again about what gender she is/isn't, or old fans saying "See, we TOLD you flower was a boy/transgender/etc.!!!" at the whole sight of the new design, just because she has short hair, lack of the overly coveted "le feme goods" and is wearing long shorts/capris. (Pretty much expecting her to be treated like folk treated YANHE because of the whole clothing/hair style situation...) If they've continued officially identify with her being female, she's female until they decide otherwise... that's that. As a lot of people tend to bring it up, clothing is pretty much a null point when it comes to gender identification these days, whether one chooses either/or or none at all.

I guess I'd better invest in some desk padding, cause my head's going to meeting mine a heck of a lot for the next few weeks over this whole debate resurfacing soon enough. Other than that, looking forward to what they'll announce at the Niconico Choukaigi this weekend with concerns to her V4 upgrade in terms of vocals. :-3
