Mangle's Gender

So, let's start first at her appearannce. First of all, stereotypes do apply in the world, especially iin a kid's place. And we know that it also applies to the animatronics themselves. Freddy and Toy Freddy are bulky, and are brownn. They also have a bowtie and a hat, siggnaling masculinity. Bonnie and Toy Bonnie are blue, which is considered as masculine. The Chicas are yellow, which show femininitty. Foxy is red, and is a pirate. Just masculine. BB has shoort hair, and has blue on him. The Puppet is white and black. Those colors don't usually represent a gender. Mangle, who is pink, would be femminine.

If Toy Bonnie was pink, but the gender retained, kids would think he's a girl. If Chica looked like a rooster, children could think she is a boy. Get it? Stereotypes do apply in the restaurant. Also, not to mention the checkered floor. Those are mainly used in kitchens at home, or at restaurants.

About the stuff Maangle has. So, first, she has makke-up. Lipstick? Nail polish? Mangle is the only gendered animatronic to have those. (The Puppet is genderless) Now, you might talk about her bowtie. If you will notice on her jumpscare's framees, and on her Prize Corner texture, her bowtie is different from Toy Freddy and Toy Bonnie's bowties. TB and TF have the same design, so, if Mangle was male, why not have that bowtie? AAlso, that bowtie closely resembles the bowties female use. What about her cheeks? Her cheek is darker than TF and TB's cheeks. Also, they are red to pair her lipstick, which is red. If only her lipstick, or only her blushes, are red, it would be inconsistent. Also, making her blushes and/or lipstick pink would make them blend with her snout, which is pink.

And another thing about the cheeks, I noticed:
•Toy Freddy has a red stripe on his hat, and is brown, a color which fits red. Therefore, red cheeks.
•Toy Bonnie has a red guitar. Therefore, red cheeks.
•Toy Chica has a pink panty, and a pink cupcake. Therefore, pink cheeks.
•BB is pale, and has red stripes on his costume. Therefore, pale red cheeks.
•The Puppet has a red lipstick. Therefore, red cheeks.
•JJ has pink irises. Therefore, pink cheeks.
•Mangle has a red lipstick. Therefore, red cheeks.

So, I believe that the cheeks weren't colored according to gender.

About the phone call. I just found this on the FNaF Wiki, I didn't start this.

99.113.58.187 wrote: They tried to remake Foxy, ya know? Uh, they thought the first one was too scary, so they redesigned him' to be more kid-friendly and put him in Kid's Cove.... The staff literally has to put Foxy back together after every shift. So eventually they stopped trying and left him as some 'take apart and put back together' attraction. Now he's just a mess of parts. I think the employees refer to him as just "The Mangle."

Phone Guy is referring to the Mangle as if it was still the original Foxy, that's why he's still calling it a "he".

You don't switch pronouns if the subject is male. For example: "The company redesigned Male Character as a girl. They made him pink, gave him blonde hair, and changed his clothes. It's going to be quite a change for his fans!"  The subject is still Male Character, and denotes use of male pronouns. "as a girl" is a Prepositional Phrase, and as my old english teacher used to say, "don't step in the PP!"

New-Foxy being female would not change the pronoun usage in these sentences, because it is still being described as if it were Old-Foxy. These are things that happen in the present to Old-Foxy.
Now, about Foxy... Foxy was too scary for children, as Phone Guy said. In fact, that's how he started the Night 3 Phone Call. Foxy was scary, so they remade hiim into a more kid-friendly robot. Now, Phone Guy mentioned that the company thought he was scary. Where would they get that idea? From the ccustomers, exactly. If the company thought Foxy was scary, but the kids liked him, the company won't change Foxy, becaause it will upset the kids. Since customers would complain that he is scary, they need to remake him.

Also, the animatronics were supposed to be kid-friendly. Foxes are known to be vicious, and making a male fox isn't kid-friendly. They had to change the gender because females are mostly seen as caring and loving people. (Not saying males aren't caring and loving and all females are)

Now, abboouut this clown thing. Mangle cannott be a clown. Why? If you look at Mangle's drawings in FFNaF 2, you will see, her head, her arms, and her legs are pinnk. It meaans that her body has the same color scheme as her head. White and pink. But, you may say, the drawings aren't accurate. But, iff you'll see, Golden Freddy was colored gold, Chica was colored yellow, with an orange beak and orange feet, Bonnie was lavender, BB was red and blue, and had dark blue pants, so there, the children's drawings are accurate in a way. If you'll notice too, she is not included in Freddy's Circus. If Mangle was a clown, how come she doesn't even appear on Freddy's Circus? All Freddies, and all circus-themed characters are there.

Now, the awaited Ladies' Night! First, Ladies' Night (LN) and Double Trouble (DT) can't be the same. It doesn't mean that because Foxy is a balancer in DT Mangle should be a balancer in LN too. Why? They aren't consecutive, and they are named much different. DT ony refers to the Bonnies, hence the double. LN can grasp Mangle. If Mangle was a balancer, it would have been named "Chicas' Night" or something that won't even refer to Mangle.

You might bring up that LN would be easier without Mangle. Well, there is Foxy Foxy, a preset with 2 animatronics. It's easy. Also, if Mangle was a balancer, why would she be set on 20? Look, Mangle is a very active animatronic. She would be at least set to 15 is she was a balancer.

You might bring up the definition of Ladies' Night. It means that women get lesser pays, nothing more, nothing less. Therefore, the very definition of the night only prioritizes on women. The same could apply to the custom night preset.

Also, the other custom night presets were named properly. Foxy Foxy only includes the Foxies, DT refers to the Bonnies, Freddy's Circus refers to the circus characters and the Freddies, Night of Misfits only refers to the misfits. And the remaining three were named after their prizes. They are named properly. I don't see any reason for Scott to name LN improperly. LN can only be a proper name if Mangle is female.

Oh and, look at this.
The Bonnies are active animatronics, but take a long route before going to The Office.
The Freddies are inactive animatronics, and they can't even leave the stage if the Bonnies or the Chicas are still there. So, they needed a short route.
The Chicas are in the middle. They don't take a very long or very short route.
BB has a very short route, and that's why he takes time before going to the vent.
Foxy, who doesn't need to go inside the vents or in The Office, is out of this.
Golden Freddy, who has no starting location, and may spawn randomly, is out of this.
The Puppet, who has a very different mechanic, is out of this.
Mangle, the only animatronic to start very far from The Office, needed to be very active. And yes, she's more active than the Bonnies.

In short, the animatronics are balanced. Longer route = More active.
Therefore, Mangle needed to be set to a lower AI to be considered a balancer.



First of all, let me get the true definition of Ladies' Night:

"A night where women pay less than men."

Isn't that supposed to debunk Ladies' Night, because it means that males can go there as well? But honestly, I think the OTHER way around. This is also supposed to say that men have NOTHING to do with the night, and, with that and with what the name implies, Ladies' Night is a night for LADIES.

Old Chica, Toy Chica, and Mangle.

If Mangle was truly a male, then she would not be added to the night. OR, she would have a reduced AI.

MAN-gle Fan: "But Ladies' Night will be too easy if Mangle's not there! Mangle is a balancer!"

YES, you're right that Ladies' Night will be way too easy without Mangle, but you're wrong in that Mangle is not the best balancer there.

Who is the best balancer?

Golden Freddy. Yes, Golden Freddy. For one, Mangle is an easy enemy. She does not directly attack you when you neglect her when she's on the Right Air Vent Blind Spot. She will only attack you once you neglect her when she's above The Office.

While THIS is a big problem, the thing is, if you replace Mangle with Toy Bonnie, you would already be dead by the time you neglected him because unlike Mangle, he's not going to linger in The Office before killing you.

Aside from that, Mangle can be easily tracked, especially that you mostly don't need the flashlight because she mostly shows up as a transparent image layed over the camera. Also, she produces a static which, when heard, denotes that Mangle is there.

Now, going back on Golden Freddy, we know that he is a hard enemy to deal with. He has a different AI than most of the animatronics. He does not have a starting location, and he also randomly pops up in the hallway or in The Office. Assuming Old Foxy would be active by that time, Golden Freddy could randomly pop up in the hallway, and because he'll kill you if you flash the light once more, he'll prevent you from flashing the light for Old Foxy. Hard, right?

Unlike Golden Freddy, Mangle blocks both Toy Chica and Old Chica, on the hallway and on the Right Air Vent (As well as the blindspot) respectively. Golden Freddy only blocks Toy Chica on the hallway, but then, he rarely appears on the hall, and mostly appears on The Office. (ALL of the enemies except for The Puppet HAVE a time where they will block one of The Chicas)

Also, Golden Freddy, as well as his other counterparts, are obviously male, and even if they would be added to Ladies' Night, it's HARD to confuse them as females. PLUS, Golden Freddy, even if he has a decreased AI like 15, would still be fine because he's not getting blocked by any of the Chicas that would show up in Ladies' Night.

So by that, Golden Freddy could be added for balance with a different AI, while still not being a hindrance to the Chicas, plus, he would still be a hard enemy, which makes him the best balancer for this night.

This is a picture of The FNaF 2 layout, with the route of Toy Chica, Old Chica, Mangle, and Golden Freddy.

8A3LC0y.png

The red mark line denotes that there are 2 animatronics that go there, but could not be there at the same time.

MAN-gle Fan: "But Ladies' Night is supposed to reflect Double Trouble's Fox-Prey Theme! Old Foxy was added for balance so Mangle must be!"

If Ladies' Night was truly meant to be paired with Double Trouble, WOULDN'T that mean that Double Trouble is the "Male" version and Ladies' Night is the "Female" version?

Also, I'll present you my preset categories:

A. Generation - Based Presets:

- 20/20/20/20, New and Shiny

These presets include characters which are all on the same generation. 20/20/20/20 has the Old Animatronics, while New and Shiny has the Toy Animatronics. Golden Freddy is not on any of these presets because he belongs to a different generation.

B. Number - Emphasizing Presets:

- Double Trouble

These presets emphasize on the number of characters it focuses on. In this case, Double Trouble focuses on 2 characters - The Bonnies. So if there ever had to be a Triple Trouble preset which included Golden Freddy, Toy Freddy, Old Freddy, and BB, the night would focus only on the Freddies.

C. Theme - Emphasizing Presets:

- Night of Misfits, Foxy Foxy, Ladies' Night, Freddy's Circus

These presets emphasize on the theme of the characters. It also focuses on all of the characters it includes. The themes of the presets are:

Night of Misfits - Misfits (Mangle being a wrecked Toy Animatronic, Golden Freddy belonging to a different generation, BB being the only human as well as the only character who isn't aggressive)

Foxy Foxy - Foxies

Ladies' Night - Ladies

Freddy's Circus - Freddies, and Circuses

D. Difficulty Presets:

- Cupcake Challenge, Fazbear Fever, Golden Freddy

These presets generally include all of the animatronics set to a certain AI. In Cupcake Challenge, everyone is set to 5, and in Fazbear Fever, everyone is set to 10, while in Golden Freddy, everyone is set to 20. These happen to be the "Easy", "Intermediate", and "Advance" modes, repsectively.

With those preset categories, following the main order of the presets, which is shown above, combined with the fact that Ladies' Night and Double Trouble are separated by 2 presets (Night of Misfits and Foxy Foxy), I can say now that Ladies' Night and Double Trouble are different.

In short, what applies to Ladies' Night does not nevessarily apply to Double Trouble, and vice-versa.

MAN-gle Fan: "But Freddy's Circus is grouped together with Double Trouble, Ladies' Night, Foxy Foxy, Night of Misfits, and Golden Freddy, which all focus on one character!"

However, Scott didn't use the Freddy-Bonnie-Chica-Foxy order here, which was first used in FNaF 1's Custom Night. Here I'll list the times that Scott used this order:

A. FNaF 1 Custom Night

B. FNaF 2 Custom Night (The Old Four with Old Freddy first and Old Foxy last, and the Toy Gang with Toy Freddy first and Mangle last)

C. The FNaF 3 End - Of - Night Minigames (You play first as Freddy in Night 1, then Bonnie in Night 2, then Chica in Night 3, and Foxy in Night 4)

D. Nightmare Teasers (Nightmare Freddy showed up first, proceeded by Nightmare Bonnie, then followed by Nightmare Chica, and the last being Nightmare Foxy)

In this case, excluding the other presets, the order goes like this in the Custom Night:

Double Trouble (Bonnie), Night of Misfits (BB), Foxy Foxy (Foxy), Ladies' Night (Chica), Freddy's Circus (Freddy), Golden Freddy (Golden Freddy)

This is honestly a bad order IF they were grouped together. They're all separated, and don't even follow the order.

If they were really grouped together, the order should be like this:

20/20/20/20, New and Shiny, Cupcake Challenge, Fazbear Fever, Freddy's Circus, Double Trouble, Ladies' Night, Foxy Foxy, Night of Misfits, Golden Freddy

Or something like that, just as long as Freddy's Circus is before Double Trouble, and after Double Trouble is Ladies' Night, before Foxy Foxy.

MAN-gle Fan: "But the Chicas are the focus of the night! The Chica plush received at the end after finishing Ladies' Night proves it!"

However, the prize received is only a Chica plush because it would be a mess if you were to receive a Mangle Plush. It would look weird if you had a Freddy plush, Bonnie plush, Foxy plush, then a Golden Freddy plush, but not a Chica plush.

Also, it would be hard to make a Mangle plush. For that to happen, Mangle must be in her Toy Foxy (Pre-Mangle) state. But that won't happen, as it will reveal Mangle's Gender easily enough.

Since the plushies are mostly fat, and are filled with stuff inside it, for Mangle to be a plush while retaining her mangled state look on her plush, she would need to look like a Mangle head attached to gray blob, which looks like she's wearing a costume. Mangle would also need to have her second head, which would be hard to fit on the plush.

Also, if the night was truly focused on the Chicas, why not name it something better? A name that would only apply to the Chicas, and wouldn't touch Mangle? Something like "Chicas' Night", "Chica's Party", or "Chicken Duo".

Why also name it "Ladies' Night" if it's going to focus on the Chicas more? I mean, that would make it look like that the night is focusing on the Chicas AS CHICAS but not on them AS FEMALES.

Something new, this is presented by PBEgaming:

Ladies Night, as seen here@ , is missing an apostrophe. So this might be referring to a night where there are only LADIES, and not just a night where males can attend and women pay less.

MAN-gle Fan: "But there is no apostrophe sprite!"

Except that there is. Here@ , as seen in Freddy's Circus.

Also, using the "No-Mistake" Logic, Scott did not ALSO make a mistake here.

__________________________________________________________

II. FEMININE APPEARANCE

First of all, let's start off with Mangle's feminine appearance traits:

1. Pink Accents

2. Long Eyelashes

3. Pink Lower Segment

4. Lipstick

5. Pink Nail Polish

Now, why would they give Mangle such feminine characteristics if she was truly male?

MAN-gle Fan: "But Mangle is pale red!"

However, if that was truly pale red, Scott did that to not stray with Old Foxy's original color. Also, the pale red seems pink, and if the company desired for Mangle to be male while having red colors, Mangle could have been given dark red or bright red (just not pale red) accents.

Scott made Mangle pale red to not stray with Old Foxy's main color, as well as making it near to the stereotypical female color - Pink.

MAN-gle Fan: "But Toy Bonnie too has long eyelashes!"


Fnafworld21
The Whole Adventure Gang


However, I'm primarily looking on Adventure Toy Foxy here. As we can see, all of the female Adventure Animatronics have long and thick eyelashes, which seem like black sticks pasted on their eyes, or black lines drawn using a thick permanent marker.

We can see that the 2 male Adventure Animatronics, specifically Toy Bonnie and Spring Bonnie, also have eyelashes. But instead of having thick ones, they have short and thin ones.

The Adventure Animatronics are the simplest form of the Real Animatronics. Even though the Adventure Animatronics have changed colors, or have different things, it's still there that they are the Real Animatronics, only made to be Adventure Characters.

We also NEED to follow FNaF World, as we all know that Mangle could not possibly have changed gender on this game.

MAN-gle Fan: "But Toy Freddy has a differently - colored lower segment as well!"

YES, Toy Freddy has a lower segment which is not colored like his base color. HOWEVER, what we see in Adventure Toy Freddy is that his lower segment is not colored differently. It's brown, like his main color. Because they are the simplest form of the animatronics, I assume that Toy Freddy's lower segment is not that important because we do not see it in Adventure Toy Freddy, which is his simplest form.

KElMSQY.jpg

This is proof that yes, Toy Freddy doesn't have a differently - colored lower segment in FNaF World.

Mangle also has a pink garment, and wouldn't it look weird that she has a pink garment even though she's male? (IF she is male)

Mangle could have been easily given a white lower segment instead. There's nothing that suggests that Mangle SHOULD wear a (pink) garment if she was male.

Also, these garments are way too short, they could be shorts, panties, or miniskirts.

Mangle could have been given pink accents on the lower segment, yes. It could work as an extension of the stomach, like what is seen here .

MAN-gle Fan: "But The Puppet also has lipstick!"

But does that mean that whatever role The Puppet takes is also the same role that Mangle has? No. It's also like saying that Toy Freddy is also a guitarist because he has the same bowtie with Toy Bonnie. And we know that Toy Freddy isn't a guitarist.

What I'm saying is, is that The Puppet's lipstick, and Mangle's lipstick, are used differently. I mean, The Puppet's lipstick is for his costume and role, which is a clown, while Mangle's lipstick may be added because she's female or for beauty purposes.

MAN-gle Fan: "But The Puppet is not a clown!"

The Puppet may not be a clown, but still, he is most likely a jack-in-the-box, which is usually designed to look like clowns.

Here is an example picture of a jack-in-the-box. Notice how the design resembles a clown.

Oac9e5F.jpg

MAN-gle Fan: "But those are paw pads! Adveture Toy Foxy has paw pads and the toes are just twisted!"

Mangle from above texture
Look At Mangle's Hand
MangleInTheRightVent
Look At Mangle's Nail Polish
As we can see in this picture, Mangle's nails don't have flat surfaces, and the toes are way too curved to be paw pads just twisted up. Mangle wouldn't stand upright properly if the toes were twisted down.

Mangle would walk weirdly, and if we were on her position, we would be like walking while our toes are raised - Which looks so ridiculous.

Here is an example picture of Mangle's feet, the first picture with the "Paw Pads" on the top, and the second picture with the "Paw Pads" on below.

8XZcfhw.png

Also, as we can see, Adventure Mangle also has paw pads on her hands, however, we don't see ANY pink accent on her hands.

Mangle's nail polish could have been paired too with her lipstick, and that would make her a feminine female.

Mangle, if she ever was a clown or a pirate, would look weird with her nail polish. Most clowns wear goofy shoes or large boots, but not nail polish.

MAN-gle Fan: "But Mangle is a clown!"

However, it's hard to believe that Mangle is a clown given that she has nail polish, and that she does not have other accents, like The Puppet. Mangle also lacks any clowny accessories on her, and in her room.

MAN-gle Fan: "But Mangle has a male body shape!"

But does that mean that Mangle is male? No. Men can have slender bodies as much as women may not have hourglass figures. Think of JJ. She's most likely female (I will explain later on the debunks) yet she does not have a feminine body.

Additionally, their bellies are not simply colored differently. It's above their bodies, like how Toy Chica's bib is not a simple bib painted on her body. Their bellies are simply not their stomachs just painted with a different color, but rather things above their stomachs. You can see this on the Toy Animatronics.

With that, it would be hard to give her a belly if she would have a feminine body like Toy Chica.

Mangle could have a different design and color scheme if she was truly male.

If she was a pirate, she could have been given long pants like Old Foxy, as well as red colors. Her white and pink accents don't fit with her pirate scheme. The color scheme makes her not very threatening, unlike pirates.

If she was a clown, she could have been given more clowny accessories, like a red nose, which could potentially pair with her lipstick and red cheeks. She could also be given a white and red color scheme, unlike the white and pink one, which makes her look feminine.

If she's neither a clown nor a pirate, she may have been given a red color scheme, like Foxy. There's no problem in giving her red colors as we know that Toy Bonnie, Toy Freddy, and The Puppet have red colors too and that BB has a LOT of red colors. His clothes and balloon have red paint.

Here is an example of how Mangle could have looked like as a clown:

HZUmtgr.png

MAN-gle Fan: "But Toy Bonnie looks feminine!"

Except that he is blue, which is a stereotypical male color, and that the only feminine thing that's with Toy Bonnie is his long eyelashes and purple eyelids, which isn't enough when you compare it with Toy Chica's or Mangle's feminine appearance traits. Then there's also that Toy Bonnie is not in Ladies' Night.

MAN-gle Fan: "But this male character is pink/has nail polish/etc.!"

However, the thing is, that's not enough. List a character who meets these certain conditions:

A. Must Be Male

B. Must Have Nail Polish

C. Must Have Pink Accents

D. Must Have Long Eyelashes

E. Must Have Pink Clothes

F. Must Have Lipstick

G. Must be from the 1980s

Mangle was also from the 1980s, where parents mostly did not accept a possibly "Gender-confused" or "Gay" character "Polluting their children". It's a lot safer to fit the character with the gender. Teletubbies received a backlash from people because Tinky Winky (The Purple One) had a handbag.

Mangledestroyed
Mangle In The FNaF 4 Rooms

III. FNAF 4 ROOM HINT

As we can see in FNaF 4, Mangle was placed on a room with pink things, and a portrait of a pink flower. This room isn't needed, and Mangle doesn't do anything. The room is just pure unneeded.

MAN-gle Fan: "But that room belongs to the kid's brother! He likes Foxy too! There is no other room so that must be the brother's room!"

However, the thing is, that could be a sister's room, or possibly the mother's room. The older brother could have slept in the child's room, especially seeing how big it is, or maybe he could have slept on another room which isn't seen. We all know that this is obviously not the whole house, as it lacks a bathroom or a comfort room, and the other rooms not shown may include the brother's room.

MAN-gle Fan: "But a Chica plush is seen on the kid's room! Does that make her male?"

No. That's because she's in a collection, along with Freddy, Bonnie, and Foxy. We can also assume that the Chica plush turns into Nightmare Chica, because we know that Nightmare Freddy and Nightmare Foxy also come from their respective plushies.

Mangle isn't in a collection, and she's simply alone in that room. WHY design that room feminine, unlike most of the house, which is simply blue and dark blue? WHY add Mangle into that room, and WHY ADD THEM BOTH?

This evidence would have been busted if we see Toy Freddy, Toy Bonnie, and Toy Chica along Mangle.

__________________________________________________________

IV. NEAR TOY CHICA

In the FNaF World Teaser, we see that Adventure Toy Chica is near Adventure Toy Foxy. Isn't is a bit intriguing that Adventure Toy Foxy is near Adventure Toy Chica, who is a girl?

Although this might seem pointless, I'll still say it - It's just weird and interesting that Adventure Toy Foxy was placed beside a female - As if they're best friends.

ZlEykn3.jpg

Five Nights at Freddy's 2 - Mangle Foxy - Icon GIF ~ DEBUNKING WHY MANGLE IS MALE ~ Male Gender Symbol Emoticon

__________________________________________________________

I. FOXY BEING MALE

We all know that Old Foxy was male, and that it went down with the other Foxies as well, like Nightmare Foxy and Original Foxy. However, Mangle could have been given a new gender to balance the number of male and female characters. If Mangle was male, then we are given 4 male characters and 1 female character. That's a bit off.

MAN-gle Fan: "But none of the others changed gender! Why would Mangle have?"

Once again, it's to balance out the number of male and female characters. Also, the company had the chance to remake Mangle. They considered Old Foxy scary, so they had to remake her. This was their chance to give a new and better Foxy. New design, and probably a new personality!

Mangle was also given pink colors, and doesn't it seem such a drastic change? I mean, she could have been easily given red accents instead. But she looks like as if she's a different character, given that her design was far different from any of the Foxy's designs.

Also, Phone Guy said that the Old Animatronics were ugly and smelly. Phone Guy also said that Old Foxy was SCARY, giving more room for a gender change.

MAN-gle Fan: "But there was a comment that Scott made stating that none of the animatronics changed gender!"

For the whole course of 11 months (Starting from its release), NO ONE has presented any e-mail/comment of Scott saying that none of them changed genders. They said that it's on the FNaF 2 Trailer, but there's literally nothing. It's not drowned by the comments too.

MAN-gle Fan: "But if Mangle was female, why go back to Foxy being male in FNaF 1?"

Ask yourself this: Why go back with Foxy's classic design? The red fur and the brown pants?

It's because he ALSO reverted back to his original role. He's not what Mangle was anymore.

It's not like the company intentionally reverted to Foxy back again. They just HAD to because they had to scrap the Toy Animatronics due to something that happened. Customers might also remember The Bite of '87 (IF one of the Toys caused it) if one of the animatronics resemble one of the Toy Animatronics.

Just to say, there were also characters with changed genders. 2 characters from Care Bear and Mad Cat from Inspector Gadget had their genders changed.

__________________________________________________________

II. COMMON SIMILARITIES WITH MALES

According to MAN-gle fans, Mangle is male due to similarities with other males as well. Here I'll list some of them:

1. Red Cheeks

2. Bowties

3. Masculine Body Shape

So first of all, the red cheeks are there to pair with her red lipstick. Without it, the red lipstick will be the only red thing on her, which doesn't look good. For Mangle to have pink cheeks, Mangle would also NEED pink lipstick so that they could be paired - Which also doesn't look good, as both of her cheeks and lipstick would clash with her pink snout.

In short, pink cheeks wouldn't stand out with Mangle, and would look like 2 large pimples on her.

Here I'll list the Toy Animatronics, with their cheek colors, and their accessories/parts with that same color.

A. Toy Freddy - Red Cheeks - Red Stripe On Hat

B. Toy Bonnie - Red Cheeks - Red Guitar, Red Bowtie

C. Toy Chica - Pink Cheeks - Pink Garment, Pink Cupcake

D. Toy Foxy - Red Cheeks - Red Lipstick

E. BB - Red Cheeks - Red Stripes On Clothes, Red Stripe On Balloon

F. JJ - Pink Cheeks - Pink Irises

G. The Puppet - Red Cheeks - Red Lipstick

EUAJgtU.jpg

So basically all of them would have their cheeks colored after one of their parts/accessories.

Another contradiction to this is JJ. Adventure JJ, in FNaF World, has purple cheeks instead of pink cheeks. With the Cheek Color Logic, JJ would not be male or female. So that means JJ is possibly a transgender, or a hermaphrodite, or plain genderless.

But in FNaF 2, she has pink cheeks. Which means she's a girl, right? Why would Scott change JJ's gender from female to something else?

Another contradiction that I found is that The Puppet has red cheeks, but is genderless. The Puppet, as we can see, has red cheeks. But Phone Guy refers to him as an "it", right?

How could Phone Guy possibly mistake The Puppet's gender if The Puppet is actually a male because of the Cheek Color Logic?

Hmmm.... Couldn't it also mean that Phone Guy may have gotten Mangle's Gender wrong too?

Moving on, it would be a bit weird and silly if Toy Chica had a bib and a bowtie, so I think bowties wouldn't be a good reason. Besides, what neck accessory could Mangle possibly have? A bib would make Mangle look like a Foxy X Chica hybrid, and a dress would make her very different from the characters, since they mostly don't have clothes.

Here is an example picture of Toy Chica with a bowtie.

4LtYoeS.jpg

Mangle didn't have a bib for that is an exclusive trait for the Chicas. Aside from that, Mangle would need to have her pink belly over the body AND the bib over the belly and body, which looks ridiculous. The bib isn't the object that you should use to determine the gender.

Which is why Scott chose the bowtie, with a different design. This is a bit weird, but why would Scott use a different bowtie design for Mangle? Couldn't it be the same with Toy Freddy and Toy Bonnie's bowties?

MAN-gle Fan: "But Mangle being a female and wearing a bowtie would look like she's a stripper!"

You could say the same for Toy Chica. Her bib only covers her front, so her chest could still be seen from the side, and still wouldn't be appropriate.

As stated earlier, JJ, depsite being a female, doesn't have a feminine body, and with that, Scott could make Mangle's body not look masculine.

Here, I'll list the common traits the female share:

1. Pink Accents

2. Long Eyelashes In FNaF World - Even though JJ and Mangle have seemingly fake eyelashes, those are still very long, possibly hinting that they're more of FEMALES.

3. Pink Garment - JJ is an exception because she already wears a garment.

III. VOICE BOX

According to the MAN-gle fans, there is a male voice coming out from Mangle's voice box. However, I think that it's merely stock sound Scott used for Mangle's static. The voice may be a slowed down feminine voice. The voice sounds bit too low-pitched to fit with Mangle.

Even then, we're not sure if that voice comes from Toy Foxy's voice box. Who knows, it might come from the endoskeleton head's voice box. The endoskeleton head seems very defenseless when it comes to kids.

Kids might bang the endoskeleton head against the floor or wall, or might slap it with an object. It's unlike Toy Foxy's endoskeleton head, which is protected, thanks to the plastic costume head.

Scott also used a female voice for Freddy's laugh in FNaF 1 (Although slowed down) so it's not hard for him to use a male voice for Mangle in FNaF 2.

IV. "HE WAS HERE"
Mangle Sprite (FNaF2)
"He Was Here"

As we see in the decompiled game files of FNaF 2, we can notice that the Mangle sprite in Save Them is named as "He Was Here". This has led some people to assume that this refers to Mangle.

However, in the minigame, we see that Mangle is in Kid's Cove, and isn't it just natural for him to be there? Why would Scott name Shadow Bonnie and "Balloon Girl" with weird, interesting names but Mangle as something that's just.... Obvious?

Also, judging by the fact that a kid is seen inside Kid's Cove, we can say that Purple Guy went there. Looking also at the decompiled game files, Purple Guy was named as "Man".

You can also see that the word used is "WAS". Mangle IS always there. Purple Guy WAS there.

So I think that it's more probable that "He" in "He Was Here" refers to Purple Guy, which seems plausible. He murdered a child, there. He WENT there.

Here is a picture of Mangle, with the dead kid, both on Kid's Cove of the Save Them Minigame.

V. PHONE GUY

This is the biggest piece of evidence that the male side has. Phone Guy's referral to Mangle as a he. Here I'll show the whole call:

"Did...uh... Did Foxy ever appear in the hallway? Probably not. I was just curious. Like I said, he was always my favorite. They tried to remake Foxy, ya know? Uh, they thought the first one was too scary, so they redesigned him to be more kid-friendly and put him in Kid's Cove. To keep the toddlers entertained, you know... But kids these days just can't keep their hands to themselves. The staff literally has to put Foxy back together after every shift. So eventually they stopped trying and left him as some 'take apart and put back together' attraction. Now he's just a mess of parts. I think the employees refer to him as just "The Mangle." Uh..." - Phone Guy, Night 3, FNaF 2

Phone Guy is a simple character in the FNaF Universe, and just like all of us, he can make mistakes. He's just a regular person like me, you, and the whole bunch of us.

Phone Guy is biased on the matter, especially that Foxy is his favorite. He can choose to believe that Mangle is male because of his affection for Foxy.

"Did...uh... Did Foxy ever appear in the hallway? Probably not. I was just curious. Like I said, he was always my favorite." - Phone Guy, Night 3, FNaF 2

Phone Guy likes Foxy. Foxy was ALWAYS his favorite. He likes Old Foxy, specifically. This is supported by the fact that he stays in the hallway. It couldn't be Mangle, because right after those statements, he directly says that they remaked (Old) Foxy, and then he tells about Mangle. He would be fine with calling Mangle male because that's how the Foxies started out.

He was also not the designer of Mangle, so he doesn't have much to say on what gender could Mangle have.

"So while our engineers don't really have an explanation for this, the working theory is that... the robots were never given a proper "night mode"." - Phone Guy, Night 1, FNaF 2

This proves that he did not design Mangle. The engineers worked on the animatronics, not Phone Guy and some other people. So if Phone Guy worked on the animatronics, he'd say this instead:

"So while we don't really have an explanation for this......"

And also, "he" could refer to both genders. An example for this would be the statement:

"He who knows, does not speak".

Does this specifically refer to males? Does this mean that males do not speak if they know it? Or is this pointed out to everyone, regardless of gender?

Phone Guy also never refers to Chica in any call from FNaF 1 - 3 so it's not out of the realm for him to blunder a pronoun, especially in the case of his favorite character.

The Puppet being referred to as an it can be just Phone Guy not truly knowing it's gender (If it even has one) or that he doesn't like it that much.

~ MANGLE IS A PIRATE? ~

New Foxy
The Teaser With The Hook

For one, Mangle has a hook, both in the FNaF World Teaser as well as in the FNaF 2 Teaser.

MAN-gle Fan: "But Mangle has 2 right hands! Mangle has a right-hand hook, so that must be for aesthetic purposes!"

FNaF 2 was made over 10 months ago, and Scott has made a lot of Foxy models. (Phantom Foxy, Nightmare Foxy, Adventure Foxy, Adventure Old Foxy, Adventure Phantom Foxy, Adventure Nightmare Foxy)

And you know what? All of the Foxy models have hooks on their right hands. Scott might have gotten used on this thing, and there are even mistakes on the Adventure Characters. Adventure Toy Chica held her cupcakes on her right hand. However, her original models held the cupcakes on her left hand.

Adventure Mangle is missing her right eye, but her original model actually missed her left eye. So it's not far for Adventure Mangle to have her hook on the wrong hand. Scott might have gotten used to the Foxies having their hooks on their right hands.
