I really do.

I just wasted my whole afternoon on Tumblr reading the wank over the b.s. going down on deviantART about New Zealand's gender and the whole thing totally reinforces how awesome everyone in fairdinkumbamf is. <3

Seriously? But we love the ambiguity! What's there to wank about?

*sighs* Oh kids....

Some people have been saying NZ must be a boy because apparently girls aren't allowed to play rugby and apparently Maori culture is way too manly to allow for the existence of a female NZ. And then being dicks to people who post fem!NZ stuff.

o.O

Yeah, so I love our group. Fem!NZ, Male!NZ, who-the-fuck-knows!NZ- it doesn't matter which you prefer, no one's going to hate on someone for having a personal preference.

This just gives me another excuse to "forget" to check my dA page

Oops, forgot one! ><

why hello there mod!

[didgeridoodle]

Can I humbly request for a link? I wanna see the lulz arguments for myself, haha.

We do drive an awesome ship, m' lady. ;P

[arachnes_web]

Yes, yes we do Captain. ^^

Here are the links in Tumblr that I first found out about it:

http://ramember.tumblr.com/post/1715218440/hey-tumblr-this-is-a-rant

And of course I forgot to bookmark the pages were people on dA were telling people that Hima had said NZ's definitely a boy, so the fem!NZ was wrong or OC... OTL

But the mods of the new Oz/NZ group seem to be telling people that NZ's a boy, but they do allow fem!NZ art

In the span of one year since its conception, never has there been an instance of wank. GIRL, WE SHOULD BE PROUD. ♥

Ah, thanks heaps! Have to prepare myself for the rage, though.

[arachnes_web]

I'M TOTALLY PROUD! Everyone's just so good-natured about the mystery that is New Zealand in our comm, that I couldn't believe that wank was happening on other sites.

But then again, I have a tendency to forget about my dA page for weeks at a time, and Tumblr's layout design gives me headaches

I <3 LJ!

OMG what wank did I miss? O_O
I always miss the good stuff! D:

[arachnes_web]

It was some dumb shit on dA and Tumblr where a few fans of boy!NZ were trying to tell people who draw girl!NZ why they're wrong for thinking NZ's a girl...but those people weren't saying that NZ was a boy because of the canon design or because of their personal head canons- they were saying NZ had to be a boy because there was no way a girl could play rugby and because Maori culture is the MOST MASCULINE CULTURE EVARS!!! Oh, and if NZ's a girl, then she looks like a dyke. o.O

[jencatd]

If those idiots are Kiwis I wanna disown them as fellow countrymen. I'm firmly in the male!Zealand camp as you know because of the canon art and my headcanon, but I don't mind female!Zealand as long as she isn't a Sue and/or a slut. I've dealt with a fem NZ Sue before in RP, and she was a ball of cutesy fluff. Ew.

[arachnes_web]

The sad thing is, head canon and the canon art are the best reasons to think New Zealand's a boy- there's no need to come up with justifications for it, especially offensive justifications...

Luckily there hasn't been any NZ Sue on the kink meme, because nothing could make me back click faster than that. Although Australia Sue is amusing in that watching-a-train-wreak sort of way...
