Stop it with the ''Got it memorized? ''shit. It's annoying, patronizing, and overly aggressive.

They are both ultimately the same thing. And I don't understand your assertion that JNPR is not genderbent. The characters in folklore were one gender, and the creators of the show decided to genderbend them. How is that not canonical?

As to R63: While it originally was intended to describe fanart, it can and should be generalized. In any case one refers to a character being genderbent by the creators of a show, that requires a pre-existing character, and the medium under construction is therefore an adaptation. Likewise, fanart and fanwork in general is adaptation as well. Because as media each exists by itself, it is only in a meta sense that the genderbending occurs. Not in-universe, because the character in that continuity has always been that gender. It is only with reference to an outside source that the phenomenon occurs.
