This isn't going to be pretty. Prepare for a shipping war!!!

Actually, most people here are quite civil, so it'll probably be a pleasant topic. I personally prefer the Male Robin, but the Female Robin's quotes are better.

I prefer female Robin because I'm female and prefer playing as my same gender. Male Robin's voice is pretty great, though.

Female!Robin. I play a female character in Awakening and oh my god I love her pigtails squeeeeeeeeee~

EDIT: Incidentally, I met Male!Robin's voice actor at a local con. Cool guy. Signed some stuff for me. Took him to the shop for snacks and drinks.

It hasn't happened yet, but if I see people start attacking others for their opinions on this topic, I will bring down the wrath of a merciless god. I already gave this warning in the social thread, so it's up to all of you to be civilized humans.

I'm not a shipper or anything like that, but I'd choose male because he sorta reminds me of Zexion.

I always pick the female option when I have the choice, and that goes for the male/female characters in Smash as well.

Plus I married Chrom in my first playthrough of Awakening, so summoning him for final smashes will be hilarious.

I like both, but I prefer F!Robin's design more. There's something about her look that makes it more appealing to me, like the white hair and its pigtails, as well as her voice.

I don't strongly lean towards one or the other, but I do have a slight preference for Male Robin. But that's really only because that's the Robin I use in game and am familiar with.

Male Robin is awesome, but I'll mostly be playing as this game's top waifu.

:4robinf:&:4robinm:: Good voice acting, good fashion sense.
:4robinf:: Better hair, better voice lines, kind of cute
:4robinm:: Ridiculously handsome, better non-default palettes

Overall I side with :4robinf:, for the better looks and better voice lines, since I prefer default colours, anyway.

Same here! It'll sure make it odd when fighting Lucina. lol

Male Robin. In RPGs, I just generally prefer males to females in terms of customization as I can make them and name them what I want them to be (which is usually a spellcaster since RPGs seem to love giving me only female spellcasters to play as).

I'm male, Robin was me in Awakening, so I will primarily be playing as the male variant. Plus, I prefer his voice in both languages.

I prefer the male Robin because one of the male hairstyles and colors looked shockingly similar to a character I created for a story I wrote. ((Also, Robin x Nowi OTP.))

Female Robin.
I always chose the female Avatar. I'm a hipster like that.

Also, her taunts have better lines.
EDIT: Also, dat pink palette swap.

I prefer male Robin. Mainly because of the white mage palette, but I prefer his voice also.
But I do like female Robin as well... I may just pick default female or pink palette sometimes to mix it up a bit.

I prefer :4robinm:, his voice is just the best. As well as I usually prefer characters my gender.

Male Robin, because I prefer the eye candy and the bromance with Chrom, but female Robin feels like a stronger character in her own right. I love them both, but male Robin it is.

Honestly, they both look pretty cool. I will probably switch between them every now and then. I like all the colour schemes as well; it's too hard for me to pick a favourite--though, I could see mineself using the blue-haired male Robin the most, simply because both mine male and female avatars in Fire Emblem: Awakening have the same exact hair colour.

O-O Ooookay i'm outta here...

Anyway, although I played as male Robin in Fire Emblem and I am a guy... I prefer female Robin. I prefer her voice and her taunts. I also love Bubblegum colored female Robin.

I seem to gravitate more on Male. His personality reminds me a lot of myself and this close Finn friend I used to have. I even wrote this post in Tumblr to explain that further:

I’ve recently noticed that Robin has reminded me of one nice Finn boy I was best friends with… especially by kindness, sociability and intellect he and Robin share. That guy was calm and usually reserved, but still really caring and empathic all the same.
I remember how I could always act freely like myself and he was always there for me in times I had it rough. Fond times.

Can’t thus help now feeling more attached to Robin - he now gives me this nostalgic feeling of warmth whenever I see him around… Kinda wish he was real. It’d be sweet to be his friend.
Female however is also notable and has almost differing feel on her character when compared to her male counterpart. This is why I'd rather refer her by different name ("Reflet") than "Female Robin".

Female Robin is better though I like both.

In FEA, I generally like female better but there's just so much more opportunities if you're male Robin. Just like real life I guess... :(

However, male Morgan <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Female Morgan. So that's an extra thing for male Robin in FEA.

In Smash, though, I think I'll be mainly using female because she's a cutie. And she says "Time to tip the scales" whereas he says "Let's tip the scales" and that means a lot

TLDR: I'll probably use female Robin more but I like Male Robin a lot as well. I just wish I coulda switched the red and green palettes

Female. Prettier hair, better sounding voice, better alt costumes, etc. :)

I usually play Female Robin due to preference in character design and such. : )

Male Robin because that's the one I generalize Robin the most with.

Female Robin. I love white hair, twintails, overall design. Points for being voiced by Michelle Ruff (in Smash's case, it's Lauren Landa) and Miyuki Sawashiro, not to mention she's cute. :)

Generally, I have a stronger preference for female characters, so I may be a bit biased.

I do like Male Robin too, he's quite the handsome one, and I love his JP voice so freaking much.
