Look at OP image. It's a good example of where TWYS gets tricky. There is no decisive information (vagina/penis? breasts?) about the sex of the mouse character within the picture.

I just don't see how it helps anyone in the end to know the exact canonical gender of a very gender-ambiguous character. To me that mouse character looks female, but if someone wanted it to be male then they could simply IMAGINE it as a male because there is no definitive visual evidence to the contrary.

Does getting told "hey, btw...that's OFFICIALLY a male" make it easier to fap to or something? Like "Oh thank god...now that I've been told by the artist that this is indeed 100% for sure a male character, the fapping can begin!" Just seems unnecessary. In the end it's a bunch of pixels with no gender, it's all how the viewer sees and interprets the image anyways.
