@Exkidu You can think however you want of course, it is ultimately your opinion, but even with your explanation regarding how Grim (he was the one who thought Epel was a girl, not Ace), Ace, Deuce, and Leona didn't react the way they should, I still think it's because Disney is keeping it entirely ambiguous and should the characters react in a specific manner, then that takes away from the ambiguity of it all.

None of us truly know how exactly Grim, Ace, Deuce, Leona, and strict Riddle, would react to a girl their age spending the night for a harmless sleepover, since it's all neutral storytelling, so I don't buy into that reasoning.

And to be frank, I've played the game and am a big fan of the story, so forgive me when I say I don't really need anyone to give me a run down on what's happened, especially since the whole Grim, Ace, Deuce, and Leona argument has been said many a times (Sidenote, I don't know why you have an issue with Leona sleeping in the same room as a female MC, when they've mentioned on several occassions that he has a high respect for women, so I doubt he'd pull anything imo, anyways I just found that kinda funny).

I also wanted to mention that there are arguments that point towards a female MC as well, which I've seen Japanese users explain and mention themselves, so all in all, this argument is moot because it can go either way.

I don't really know why there should be a set gender anyhows, let people imagine the MC however they want to be. A tumblr user messaged the Twisted team via email months before the game's release (the user asked them about whether Twisted was an otome game), and they stated that while they acknowledge that their main audience would be mostly female, their intention was to make a game enjoyed by all, so I don't think there's a need for specifics. Why is there a need to police such an obviously vague fact about the character you play 🤷

Even with the new Ghost Marriage event, I highly doubt there would be any allusions to the MC's gender because why would they, when it has never been stated so far.

Be it Twisted Wonderland, Obey Me and all that, the MC was always meant to be the player's avatar even when there are signs that lean towards one or the other because unless blatantly stated, the MC is the player and that's that.

What seems like a natural flow to you, might not be for someone else, is what I think? So I believe keeping it open is absolutely great and inclusive, I don't see anything wrong with that honestly lol. Is it so bad to want everyone to enjoy the game without the restrictions of an undisclosed canon haha?

There's a plethora of female, male, and even non-binary MC fanworks and I think it's lovely that theyre all equally accepted and enjoyed within the Japanese and Western community. People have their preferences of course, but neither is more valid than the other.

Feel free to agree to disagree, since this is all conjecture, but as for now, my mind's made up lol. Good day to you all and have fun :)

(Again disclaimer cuz I know for a fact that Twisted is popular enough to get an anime or stageplay in the future, so an MC with an actual face is mighty possible, but I am strictly speaking of the game)
