general media A character you thought was a different gender than what they were

In Ed, Edd, n' Eddy, I also thought Double D was a female. I thought he was a VERY tomboyish girl. I mean, Double D was whimpy and all, but the clothing brought me to think he was a tomboyish girl. The way Double D talked got me thinking he was a female. I was very young though, I then realized they would say "he" or "him" or called him an "Edd boy". I realized fast Double D was a boy.

...  You know, in hindsight, I think in the back of my mind I knew he was a guy, but I also thought that Double D was a girl. Like... until now I thought Double D was a girl. My childhood is a lie.

 

Seabreeze from MLP.

I thought he was a girl as well! I honestly didn't realize until I saw fan-art and read the Episode Follow-Up on EQD.

 

Hmm. I really can't think of any others.

This little dude right here:

Can you blame me? He looks like a flat-chested chick.

 

Slippy Toad's voice had me believing he was a girl, too.

 

Apparently Birdo from the mario franchise is a cross-dressing male.

 

That was kinda weird for me.

Le proof.

Nintendo goof'd when writing the manual for the '88 version and switched up his name with Ostro's, in case you were wondering.

 

Samus Aran. My first encounter with her was in Super Smash Bros, and I was so confused and dissapointed when I found out my favorite character was a girl! My brother made fun of me to no end for that! 

I think that was the big reveal in the first game. When she took off that helmet at the end, everyone back then shat their pants.

I've never had that problem with him.Maybe I had thinked on the first seconds of the pilot episode(my first episode),i thinked that "he" could be "she",but when Sarah appeared and his eyes turned into hearts at her,i said "He's a boy :3 "

Samus Aran. My first encounter with her was in Super Smash Bros, and I was so confused and dissapointed when I found out my favorite character was a girl! My brother made fun of me to no end for that!

When I first played Metroid,for the NES(and my 1st Metroid game),i thinked,like any other guy that she was a guy,but,when i've passed the game for 3rd time,and i had got the best ending,i saw that she was a girl.I was like "LOL?",and then I said "That's the greates girl in the universe!!!"

Since that moment,she's one of my favourite characters from a video game(although the can't win Sonic )

@@ErBoi,

Well, it was the middle of the night and it was the middle of a badass fight scene when I first saw him, gender pronouns were not my priority 

[Khaoios 1,968]

Well.......if there's one character that took me 5 years to find out "he" was a girl was Samus Aran.  I remember playing the first Metroid, but never finished it, until i played and finished Metroid Prime and realized, "Oh my god............its a girl".

[Midnight Dragon 264]

That one Hutt in Clone Wars...Ziro, I think his name was? I thought he was female

[Radiance64 7,046]

The most androgynous characters:

Birdo

Samus

Slippy from Star Fox

Libra from Fire Emblem Awakening

Crona from Soul Eater

Seabreeze from MLP

Link from Zelda(sometimes, if only because people sometimes call him Zelda because ignorance )

NiGHTS from the Nights games

Flea from Chrono Trigger

Kirby

Hm... that's all I got for now.

When I was younger,  I always thought blue from blue's clues was a guy, thought that one gorilla in Tarzan was a guy and for some reason, thought Pikachu was a girl.  

 

Wait, Blue isn't a guy? Whaaaat? 

[Han 2]

it happend to me only twice, and with the same character

sooo

once upon a time, i was next to a booth that sells anime action figures

and i was like

oh god this one with the red hair look awesome, who is she?

and the seller man said "his name is red satocliffe"

a few months later i started to watch black butler

and i was like

the maid with the brown hair seem kinda pretty

but then they reffered to her as a he

a few episodes later his hair turns red and its the same character -_-

i was gander fooled twice, and both times by the same character xD

[LonelyCandle 26]

Poison from the street fighter series, it turns out she is a transvestite \. I never would have guessed not that there is a problem with that

[Geek0zoid 1,467]

I actually thought Seabreeze was a girl, along with Miles "Tails" Prower from Sonic the Hedgehog.

Isn't it amazing how hard it is to mistake a character at first just by listening to their voice?

[Neon Fire 472]

Wait, Blue isn't a guy? Whaaaat? 

 

Yeah, I think she's a girl o.o

[Adorkable 2,736]

I also thought Kazooie was a male at first, how ironic. ^^"

 

I can't really think of one at this time, but I do know that a common one, including myself, is SeaBreeze from that episode of MLP FiM. ^^
