I rewatched the episode, and the kid's voice upon waking up is definitely male. Farmkid's a boy. Now what?

Oh, I just now figured out another reason I got so riled up about all this "Farmkid's super duper important, he's Ozpin or something" speculation, and it also has to do with the RWBY fandom's history.

Remember when we all couldn't wait to see Qrow? Tons of fans were too impatient for Qrow to show up, so they kept pointing at random male characters and screaming "That's Qrow!" over and over again, even when it didn't make a damn bit of sense, and that got annoying. Remember? "*Points at Shopkeeper* THAT'S QROW! *Points at Ironwood in the volume 2 trailer* THAT'S QROW! *Points at Mercury after Burning the Candle* THAT'S SECRETLY QROW!" *Facepalm* Of all the theories in the time of the volume 2 trailer, calling Ironwood Mr. Schnee made more sense than calling him Qrow, to be honest.

Anyway, people pointing at farmkid and going "THAT'S OZPIN/SPRING MAIDEN!" reminds me of that. We see a new character who seems important, and almost everyone immediately snaps to "THAT'S [INSERT CHARACTER WE REALLY WANNA SEE]!!!"
