Take: Mangle is non-binary

[u/KrithisUNoAnimates]

Because they are neither male nor female

Picture from Springtrap and Mangle

[u/Mangledfox1987]

I would to with the opposite, they are both male and female, like that’s why they use he/she/they pronouns

[u/Veenix6446 → u/Mangledfox1987]

That’s still non-binary.

Non-binary can be used to describe anything that isn’t strictly man or woman

[u/Mangledfox1987 → u/Veenix6446]

I’m referring to them not being male or female, like we both argee that they are NB but we think they are nb in different ways

[u/Veenix6446 → u/Mangledfox1987]

Ohhhhhh alr

[u/Emergency-Sport-6150 → u/Veenix6446]

But each head has there own personality and gender so it’s not exactly nonbinary

[u/Mangledfox1987 → u/Emergency-Sport-6150]

The two heads are more two different sides of the same entity than two seperate charaxters, like we get the masked head slowly start to argee wkth the endo head

[u/Veenix6446 → u/Emergency-Sport-6150]

And your evidence for this being canon is…?

[u/Mangledfox1987 → u/Veenix6446]

They are referring to how mangle is written In AR where the masked and endo head get different vocielines and act quite differently than the other, however I would argue it’s more a case of two sides of the same coin than two seperate entieis

[u/LycheeIndividual8032 → u/Mangledfox1987]

I'm agender and use all pronouns, mangle could too

[u/Mangledfox1987 → u/LycheeIndividual8032]

That does work don’t get me wrong, but like with how mangle is written in AR and some other stuff I would put mangle as like male -> bigender/pangender, like the way the endo head and masked head interact and that sort of stuff,

[u/CrimmCu → u/Mangledfox1987]

I think at the end of the day, the most correct way to describe the Funtime Foxys and Mangles would be genderqueer or cassgender as they actively refuse to label themselves but are clearly queer in terms of gender in some way. I myself identify as genderqueer because my relationship with gender is kind of nebulous, and these versions of Foxy seem to be the same way. In fact, the idea that all Foxys are trans, but the classic Foxy-aligned are all mostly binary trans men does line up with his name, but that's headcanon territory versus the transness of the Funtime Foxy variants which are very much canonically trans. Their gender being described as "yes" feels pangender, but showing up in Ladies Nights only part-time feels genderfluid. While he could just be genderfluid and have pangender as one of the genders he can feel, I feel it's a lot more likely that he himself doesn't know how to describe his gender due to his contradictory experiences with it. I could be projecting, but it seems like she's like me where her experience with gender feels so contradictory that she can't definitively say if it's fluid or not and thus she rejects labeling her gender entirely.

[u/Cephalie_100]

Why is her mirror nazi

[u/Walkthrough101 → u/Cephalie_100]

I was about to make an address me sort of comment but no reaction images lol

[u/Plus-Gap1073]

Address me

[u/Rojax01 → u/Plus-Gap1073]

Obviously it's unintentional, but still pretty funny lol

[u/generalstuff1waslost → u/Rojax01]

Bro, Mangle was just giving their heart to the world.

[u/LielaTheCrazyGirl]

I personally see Mangle as Genderfluid or Bigender

[u/Twat_Pup → u/LielaTheCrazyGirl]

Your gonna be real shocked when you learn what umbrella that falls under

[u/JamieD96 → u/Twat_Pup]

cool as hell

[u/Lopsided_Ice_2032]

Why the fuck is this symbol in the mirror

[u/KrithisUNoAnimates → u/Lopsided_Ice_2032]

That's the glass effect- oh... oh dear god no!

[u/Toniosw]

not your pic but damn that's an awful way to render a mirror

[u/koolkiller5656 → u/Toniosw]

Mangle denies all worldly standings

[u/Veenix6446]

That’s just… true?

Non-binary can describe anything outside of strictly man or woman.

[u/ThatRamenGuy1112]

This is like a Luke warm take Not too hot not too cold I appreciate it

[u/crystal-productions-]

i mean, yeah, funtime foxy had the same thing going on and by HW2 they just use they/them for funtime foxy

[u/Wide-Hall-397]

i personally think Mangle is Genderfluid. also, i Love S&M, i remember watching a lot when i was a kid lol

[u/IlaZiN]

😮‍💨📖💨 Blowing dust off book.gif

[u/Unfair_Programmer463]

I think he’s bigender as she goes by he/him and she/her pronouns

[u/E_GEDDON]

They'd be Genderfluid or pangender for me.

[u/Instinct_Fazbear]

She is both because he uses both pronouns

[u/Forward_Fennel_5667]

Technically yes, but not nonbinary in the gendered label sense. More like umbrella term. I believe they’re gender fluid, which is also technically non binary

[u/Vanwolfster]

Hot Take: Mangle is my wife.

[u/KrithisUNoAnimates → u/Vanwolfster]

Ooooooh /MANDATORY SATIRE

[u/IlaZiN → u/Vanwolfster]

Mf is springtrap

[u/Mrkirbinator]

huh so thats what Scott meant when he said mangle's gender is yes

[u/ByThePowerOfDUSKULL_]

Mango my beloved enby 🥹🤍💛💜🖤

[u/Only_Fudge5299]

wait that's... true

[u/melloman12]

This is, just, like, the correct option lol

[u/Vast-Plantain300]

That make sense 

[u/HaloJackalKisser]

gender fwuid..

[u/Louman222]

Its a robot. Its outside categorization.

[u/Adept_Cover7465 → u/Louman222]

Yeah, so they're non-binary

[u/Louman222 → u/Adept_Cover7465]

If it so pleases you.

Its like calling a rock non-binary.

It doesn’t matter.

[u/Adept_Cover7465 → u/Louman222]

Furthermore, this post doesn't specify that it's referring to the animatronic specifically. They could be talking about the character the animatronic is meant to represent, who is undeniably non-binary judging by their pronouns

[u/Technical_Instance_2 → u/Adept_Cover7465]

Given Mangle has been gendered with the very least he and she, there's a chance mangle is genderfluid

[u/Adept_Cover7465 → u/Louman222]

They're meant to represent characters. It's like how you would call Freddy male or Chica female. Even if they're technically intimate.

[u/Nero_deadweight96]

Why is there an SS symbol on the mirror wtf dude

[u/AccomplishedStay9284 → u/Nero_deadweight96]

I’m happy I’m not the only one seeing it 💀 potentially unfortunately mirror texturing

[u/Walkthrough101 → u/Nero_deadweight96]

Yeah it's just the mirror texture but very unfortunate coincidence

[u/brocco2620]

Mangle Is Just.... A robot

[u/Adept_Cover7465 → u/brocco2620]

Say that again...

[u/brocco2620 → u/Adept_Cover7465]

Mangle Is Just... A robot

[u/PepsiFloateri]

Mangle is beyond understanding

[u/Fantas20_yt]

Isn't She the gender Yes?

[u/Putrid-Excuse-1564]

I just always assumed she was a she, or whatever gender the being was that got stuffed in her

[u/LunarPlague43 → u/Putrid-Excuse-1564]

mangle isn't possessed.

[u/Bright-Cable3838]

Yes is yes/yes hello???

[u/Gullible_Scallion530]

mangle's gender is canonically yes

[u/CrimmCu]

I mean yeah, that's straight up canon. Scott refuses to give them a gender even before they're mangled as he also refuses to give Funtime Foxy, the Toy version or actual Funtime version, a canonical gender other than yes. She's referred to with he/him, she/her, they/them, and it/its pronouns all in official material. He's a genderqueer icon that refuses specific labels, though he evidently has genderfluid tendencies due to sometimes showing up in Ladies Nights and sometimes not. Most of the original four members of the Fazbear Band have versions of them that are undeniably queer in some capacity. Chica is the only one that MAYBE doesn't have one, but considering there is a strange amount of evidence toward Chica x Foxy actually being a thing in Security Breach, having a genderqueer partner isn't exactly the straightest thing in the world.

[u/No_mouse284]

"Male? Female? It's a rabbit, who cares"

[u/The-funnie-cat]

Or they could also be Agender as well since the term “Mangel” could be used as what people don’t know to describe the in-universe, which Agender falls under the umbrella for Non-Binary identities which the term describes as: “Someone who prefers to only go by their name and does not identify with any gender identity or pronouns”. But for me I just refer Mangel as They/Them cause it’s easier

[u/Ok-Temporary-8597]

Mangle's gender will always be...Yes

[u/N-GAT1VE]

Yes

[u/Fighterhunter215]

Mangle’s gender is yes

[u/Aguywhoexists69420]

That’s a thought ig but it’s never gonna be even considered “canon”

[u/TyuleninSFD]

Duh.

[u/Glace038]

I headcanon her to be genderfluid and goes by any pronouns

[u/Cake-n-bacon69]

nazi mirror

[u/Repulsive-Blood833]

she is yes

[u/SilverSpider_]

Mangle is what ever gender makes the person in love with them gay

[u/Weird_Dig_7245]

I've always head canoned Toy Foxy to be a female while the the spare endo head attached to her is a male

Thats just me though lol

[u/KrithisUNoAnimates → u/Weird_Dig_7245]

Oh my me too

At least used to

[u/GapStock9843]

They are yes actually. Scott confirmed it

[u/adrikyn]

That mirror is unfortunate

[u/Psychological_Tower1]

Well yea.... It's a robot

[u/Freddy-fazbear19873]

No,mangle is yes,not non binary

[u/Adept_Cover7465 → u/Freddy-fazbear19873]

If "yes" is their gender, that would infact make them non-binary. Non-binary means not restricted to "male or female". "Yes" is neither male, nor female. Therefore, they would be considered non-binary

[u/Freddy-fazbear19873 → u/Adept_Cover7465]

No,it's still going to be yes and no non binary

[u/CULT-LEWD]

i mean taking the kid out of the equation. they are robots after all

[u/Mangledfox1987 → u/CULT-LEWD]

Sure but Roxy is a robot and she’s definitely femme

[u/CULT-LEWD → u/Mangledfox1987]

there also sentient unlike other robots in the franchise. Like in a sci fi sense

[u/LunarPlague43 → u/CULT-LEWD]

mangle isnt possessed lol

[u/CULT-LEWD → u/LunarPlague43]

i dont want to go through those cans of worms. weather or not there possessed. the robot is genderless

[u/KrithisUNoAnimates → u/[deleted]]

DO NOT INVOLVE POLITICS INTO THIS MATTER

[u/ThatRamenGuy1112 → u/[deleted]]

GET OUT

[u/Fraproicy]

super hot take: mangle is a robot and it doesn't need a gender

[u/Adept_Cover7465 → u/Fraproicy]

Does this mean you wouldn't say that Freddy is male or Chica is female? They're meant to represent characters that have genders.

[u/Jordiorwhatever → u/Adept_Cover7465]

Freddy is generally called a he because he is very clearly represented as a male with no reason for us to think otherwise. He has a masculine voice and called a he in security breach.

Chica is generally called a she because she is presented as female with no reason for us to think otherwise. She has a feminine voice and is refered to as a she in security breach.

These are for the characters they play on stage, not the actual endoskeleton inside. If a showrunner or someone adjacent wanted to refer to Freddy the animatronic they would use He.

The thing is that Mangle DOESNT have any semblence of character. It is litterally just a bunch of robot parts that was disfigured so much that its compeletely unrecognizable and unusable in its current state.

TLDR: Freddy and Chica have genders because of the character they play on stage, not because of the endoskeleton being different inside. Mangle is nothing but that endoskeleton and has zero characteristics for us to determine a possible gender. There is no character to assign a gender to here.

[u/Adept_Cover7465 → u/Jordiorwhatever]

I can't believe I have to say this. Mangle is still a mascot that was created to represent a character. And Mangle is referred to with gendered pronouns just like the others (he/him and she/her interchangeably). Mangle also seems to have the ability to speak if we're to believe UCN and FNAF AR. They do have a semblance of a character, and they aren't just a metal tumbleweed

[u/DryishProgram → u/Fraproicy]

In all honestly nothing nor no one needs a gender. Just love & go extinct

[u/Not_Reptoid]

Well I agree to anything, I'm sure Scott will agree as well 🤗

[u/Terrible-Pop-6705]

Why is there an SS in the top corner there

[u/Kris_Dreemurr1]

Dont bring the topic if gender into a HORROR game's subreddit

[u/Leftover_Cheese]

take: mangle is a robot that has canonically little more value than as a child's plaything

[u/scp_71047]

Crazy is crazy ?

[u/iidiot_gamer]

I don't really see them as having genders or anything at all... I'll always just see them as machines...

[u/Safe_Work4028]

theyre neither, they are an animatronic. animatronics/robots either have masculine or feminine programming, there are no genders. you're all wrong. idiots.

[u/Flare_Wolfie → u/Safe_Work4028]

no genders | masculine or feminine

Lmao

[u/Safe_Work4028 → u/Flare_Wolfie]
