I mean for a mega-testosterone fueled guy to be doing pottery and art which seems quite a feminine thing (well at least to me) when they could have made him have like sports as a hobby. I thought it was nice of them to break the mold a little with him.

And I stand by that. It was incredibly clever.

I agree that it should have been fleshed out a little more after the revelation, but if Robin was ready to tell everyone anyway, her contentment makes sense.

ROBIN'S THE MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!!!!!... Er, you know what I mean.
Quite possibly my favorite in the new cast. I kind of hope Robin shows up again as Edgeworth's new prosecutor protege or something... No, scratch that, Franziska's. 
So I finally grew a brain and remembered to give myself a signature... Whoopee.

I loved Robin. We've never had a character like her. I thought the twist with her character, and the contrast between her fake and real persona, was genius. It made me genuinely happy to see her so liberated. Since she never got the chance to live as a girl until the trial, the extremeness of her character makes sense - she is playing with femininity for the first time, shuttling to extremes because she's never been allowed to before. It was really heartwarming.

I agree, it was absolutely endearing! And I like that, even though there was a contrast, her personality wasn't completely changed. She was still Robin, albeit more "feminine", she could still be loud and shout and act like her "masculine" self, even though it was toned down.

Man, this is getting just like Tumblr. We should stop, I'm starting to get annoyed at myself for bringing something like this here. Good thing it's spoilered, at least.
I myself am not sure what to think about Robin. She was fun, but I do feel like she didn't inspire nearly as much love from me as it did from others. Maybe I just didn't exactly like her playful attitude on a trial about the murder of her teacher, with her friend charged of her murder...

I think the general tumblr mentality is "problematic" as they love to say, but I do hope that you misunderstood what I was getting at in the spoiler tag, otherwise you scare me.I did find Robin rather sweet and fun, but I'm not head over heels with her either. I think she was more of an interesting concept than an interesting person, and somewhat flat (no pun intended) when they could've done more with her character.

It's highly annoying to be called insensitive/offensive when you just act normally and respectfully. To be told you're doing things wrong when, really, you're not doing things wrong at all and even try to do it as right as sanely possible. And this is mostly because of these so-called "social justice warriors" who only make matters worse than they actually are. They are the people who make problems where there are none.
On a parallel topic... In the same way, I believe anti-racism is worse than actual racism because it seems much more widespread and propagates the problem more than the actual racism. (By anti-racism, I am talking about the people who think everything is racist and actively try to combat it.) ...But maybe that's a can of worm I shouldn't open. I just needed to rant a little as well... My apologies.

That's a nice strawman you've got there. Have something to say about Robin instead of pitching in on the off-topic discussion we were just trying to give up on?
I don't at all see how it is a strawman... It wasn't even so much an argument (though if people wanted to argue about it, I wouldn't have stopped them.)
As for why I am getting the flak for going off-topic while I didn't even cause it... That baffles me a little.
But sure, thanks for trying to negate my post completely...

And I never said the off-topic thing happening was your fault, but after it had been pointed out and wrapped up to go back to topic it just felt unnecessary to burst in and pick it up again... although mostly me wanting to be haughty.
Okay, yeah, I know, now I'm the one still being off-topic. So this will be the last thing I say here unless it's about Robin.

I think the best thing you could've done was to report it for being off topic... But now you came off sort of condescending, especially with the false accusation.
I mentioned that the anti-racism thing isn't something relevant (though it was a parallel topic), but that I simply needed that out of my system. I understand that this isn't exactly the right place for it, so I actually would've understood it if you had reported it, but not calling me out on it.
As for the cosmic fairy thing, that was in reply to the topic about genders and the social justice warriors. While the people who called me insensitive/offensive didn't actually identify themselves as cosmic fairies (I don't exactly remember what it was), it was certainly something equally silly, which is why I used that term.
But I do agree that it is getting REALLY off topic now, so I'll actually say something about Robin now! (Gasp!)
I did like Robin as a character. She was funny, though I saw the plot twist coming from a mile away. When I saw Robin introduced as a guy, I thought 'he' looked a bit feminine... And having a unisex name, I figured that one of the plot twists would be that she was a girl. That certainly made the whole mood matrix stuff even easier than it was already.
As for how it was handled... I'd say it was poorly so. I mean, switching between personalities like that... like others have pointed out, that's some cause for concern. And they really could've given us a better reason as to why Robin was forced to be a guy in the first place, because now this just seemed like a convenient plot device (existing solely for the plot) that didn't even go anywhere.

Tumblr... </3 Yeah, that's right. The frilly clothes part was just the starting point, leading to the discovery of the brace anger which lead to the conclusion.
"The transgendered stuff" isn't suggesting Robin herself is trans, rather on a symbolic level, because Robin's life was kind of like a transwoman "in the closet" so to speak, like, she keeps up a facade and everyone sees her as a man even though deep down she knows she's a woman and wishes to be able to express it. Not sure if Capcom even made the connection, but imagine Robin with a dick and without the boobs and the brace and the rest would still work.
I thought it was interesting how people could both write off Robin's characer as transphobic and trans progressive, but I felt like the one who wrote about transphobia was pointing to the completely wrong things, like that with the frilly clothes and "Capcom suggests Robin only pretended to be a girl", well yeah, she was? I mean, I would've understood if they'd had an issue with the outing, but other than that? Nah.
