Basically, it's arguing that one doesn't need to follow the theme in reality, as long as it does so in idea it's "perfectly fine", which leads to loopholes and other problems.

Imagine the theme was "Angels", angels that actually exist in an actual religion, and I made an OC that was not an angel, likely doesn't even exist, but was "like" an angel, so even though they don't follow the theme, should one accept it?

I didn't really look at the character at all,  ........................................................then why are you even.....

but I can't think being male is so central to their character that it matters for judging purposes. ..........Do you even know what it's being argued?

@Spirit: Both sources are unreliable. The information is questionable, and when that happens the source itself becomes questionable as the actual validity of the author's words is put into question, including how much they actually know about what they are talking about.

Thus I'm still inclined to question the validity of Drus. And calling me petty won't change anything.
