Wolfram is an Angel and a Demon. And has anyone seen or heard of a girly Angel or Demon? There you have it! Wolfram is the most beautiful being that could possibly exist (repeated countless times in the Light Novel) who has an air of princely arrogance that can rival that of a demon. Takabayashi-sensei created a fabulous character with all his flaws and perfection! And those flaws just add to his charm! He is manly in all the ways possible.
I absolutely hate it when people refer wolfram to be feminine and girly! He's a prince! He's not yuuris wife either but a prince consort I think that is what it's called. Wolf is in no way feminine or girly! I feel so sorry for my son!

Even though you were probably just venting, I’ll write here my theory as to why some people used to think this way.First of all, I’m guessing you’re mostly talking about fanfics, and not actual fans, who still believe this nowadays: - Fanfics: Most of the fanfics available were written before the novels and manga were translated to English, which means that fans only ever had the anime to use as a reference.- Anime: Although the anime didn’t make Wolf sound girly at all, they did heavily rely on crossdressing as a gag, and some people took it to heart. - Doujinshi/Japanese stereotypes: As I’ve extensively commented in the past, Japanese fans (the original fans of the series who draw the doujinshi) are accustomed to stereotyping gay couple as “ manly dude/ girly dude” or “big dude, small dude” and since in the canon Wolfram and Yuuri are EQUALS (as Takabayashi-sensei has repeated endless times) they had to make his appearance or mannerisms more girly. This is a Japanese stereotyping problem, that Western fans got second-hand… Western fans don’t quite understand why they’re doing it but they get on the train cuz the Japanese fans are doing and think that they might have some inside knowledge they lack. As for the Japanese fans they do it because ‘stereotyping is life’, and you don’t break the mold here cuz you get kicked out of the village and starve in you do (there’s a lovely saying they teach in elementary school : ‘The nail that sticks out shall be hammered down’). Stereotyping is a big part of being Japanese… I’m not going to get into the explanation now, cuz the reply is getting long as it is.
Second of all, if a fan still thinks there’s anything girly about Wolf nowadays you must refer them to the novels immediately. People believing there’s anything girly about Wolfram (looks or personality), comes out of sheer ignorance of the canon.
The more you know about the canon, the less the ignorance of others will affect you. Rather than getting angry I’d say you should try to learn everything that you can about the books and correct people when they’re wrong. Quote using the novel number and chapter, give them irrefutable proof that you are right.
So everyone: if someone comes up to you and says something that’s clearly wrong, be patient and show them the way.
