Will we find out V's Gender?
I heard that the author wouldn't reveal V's gender in the comic somewhere, is that true?
If so, can you link me to the post?

Q: Is Vaarsuvius male or female?
A: I will never reveal the truth! Bwahaha! Keep in mind that while certain other characters might refer to V as being male or female, that simply reveals their perception.not the actual reality of the situation.Credits to half-halfling for my adorable avatar.

Re: Will we find out V's Gender?
Because then there will be something always there for us to speculate about, instead of resorting to saying that anyone with a ponytail is related to Haley is our search for new speculation material? Or now Rich doesn't want to decide.
But you can still debate about it over in this thread, where there are good points for both gender.Spoiler: This signature is a historical relic from a long-ago time of regular forum activity.Aww man! Even all the witty self referencing sigs are gone now!

Re: Will we find out V's Gender?
If we knew which pronoun to use for V, what would we talk about between comics? Be reasonable, here!

Re: Will we find out V's Gender?
V's gender at this point is completely irrelevant to the character. I hardly see how the revelation of what genitalia he/she has will change the character at all, unless you force gender stereotypes onto the character after the fact.
I just don't see the appeal. Especially give that we've already seen plenty of gender-neutral elves, to the point where gender defined make up a distinct minority.

Re: Will we find out V's Gender?
I believe we will find out V's gender. It will be the final panel of the final comic, in order to end on a joke after whatever bittersweet ending the giant has come up with.
A la the finale of friends.

Re: Will we find out V's Gender?
We never will find out. I've always assumed she was female because she rooms with Haley only.

Re: Will we find out V's Gender?
The later posts seem like something for the Gender Debate Thread, especially now that duskwing's question has been answered.

Re: Will we find out V's Gender?
I thought it was a joke about people who don't bother filling out the top part of their character sheet at all, yeah. Gender, height, weight, age, eye colour ... problem is, most of those have to be represented in a visual medium.

Re: Will we find out V's Gender?
We won't find out about the gender.
Rich stated somewhere (books?) he did not plan the gender-ambiguity of Vaarsuivus but that he saw people on the forum start to discuss (that should make this the oldest debate on the forum, btw) what gender that elf was - and he decided to simply stick with this and turn it into a recurring joke.
Since then, we have seen so many references that Vaarsuvius himself seems to be aware of that ambiguity and also tries to evade that question (e.g. Origin of PCs, he first drops a blob of ink in the field and then rejects to correct it or his comment to Sabine in Azure City) so it's - to me - likely Vaarsuvius simply does not have a gender at all (or both at the same time).
Anyway: That question will not get resolved. And I think the reason for that - beyond the "keeping the joke" - it's because there is no actual answer to that question (anymore).

Re: Will we find out V's Gender?
V is beyond gender, within Shcler trousers V holds what cannot be comprehended by mortal minds. The proper way to refer to V is likely 'Schleer' or 'Schlee'.

Re: Will we find out V's Gender?
There's no point speculating because we know for a fact that Rich adds plenty of evidence for either one.

Re: Will we find out V's Gender?
I used to hope as much, but it seems not to be the case.
I...actually read through the whole comic thinking that V was a walking elves-are-andrygonous joke and was definitely supposed to be male. And he's such a typical male in personality and name suffix that it's hard to shake the thought, even though Fem-V is more interesting somehow.
