@Bramble - This is a rather subjective topic and there isn't really a right or wrong answer into why people think YANHE is a male character. People think differently.

Her appearance can play a part into the problem. I have met people who thought YANHE was male just because of the way she looks: short hair, outfit is more sporty and not 100% feminine (according to them anyways), anatomy (which if I recall, some people thought she was lacking in chest or something)...

And likewise, as you mentioned, there are people who thought she was male just because of her deeper toned voice. I personally don't have this problem because to me, she sounds like a deep toned female or "tomboyish". She doesn't sound masculine to me by default. But to some others, she sounds masculine to them I suppose. Considering how her voicebank was originally supposed to be for Moke, I could understand why people would think so.

And for other people, maybe it's a combination of both the design and the voice. I remember when "优越感少年" came out, a handful of people initially thought YANHE was male from design and/or voice.
