Is Mackenzie a BOY or GIRL in Bluey???? 

Is Mackenzie a BOY or GIRL in your country???? Also you can use this link to activate a VPN so you can watch ALL OF BLUEY (new eps and CENSORED eps) too! nordvpn.com/margie and here is the tutorial video on how to set it all up to watch Bluey ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-q4yGPRGYbZA.html

Like to imagine Bluey and Mackenzie just hanging out and Bluey says "Why do so many people think I'm a boy?" and Mackenzie responds "Really? People think I'm a girl."

I thought everyone knew he was a boy, and then my dad called him a female like a couple of days ago, so then I realized not everyone knew. this video was actually perfectly timed lol.

I remember reading that Socks, female in English, is male in other languages. There are probably other characters that get swapped, but yeah, it's a thing.

the kids having a gender neutral voice is so true, i only discovered honey is girl months after watching the show! never payed attention to the kids refering to her with she/her xD

I went and listened to Shops and Circus in Korean, and Mackenzie is meant to come across as a boy. I thought that in "shops" it was intended on the voice actress to sound more masculine. Wasn't certain though until Circus as Korean doesn't use pronouns. In it, when Coco asks Bluey to demand Mackenzie to be her husband, she uses the word nampyeon, which is literally husband, and is used for men. Earlier in the scene she used "yeobo" which is more like honey or darling and is gender neutral.

When I first watched bluey I thought Makenzie was a girl, then when I found out that he was a boy I was full on shocked I had never heard a boy named Makenzie and I feel like if Makenzie had a different name then it wouldn’t be *makenzie*

The funny thing is that the name Mackenzie originates from Scotland and is usually a masculine name there but people in the US usually associate it as feminine

It's pretty normal for girl VAs to voice male children, as they tend to retain that high pitch for longer (especially if the show takes longer to age the characters. You can't very well have a tween boy voicing a 5 year old). I always thought of Makenzie as a boy but I could see him as being either gender easily. The pups play games that are gender neutral most of the time so I can see the confusion

Mackenzie is a boy here in the US but touching on the Japanese version, when some characters in anime are under the ages of 12 to 17, sometimes 18, Depending on when the voice fully cracks for a young man, it's easier for an adult woman to voice a young boy child. Think of it like the Ash Ketchum effect. Yeah. He's been 10 years old for over 20 years, but has had only two female voice actors in the US in those years. But that came with a change of studios. But in Japan, Ash is voiced by a girl as well. So there is that logic as well for the whole voice acting aspect for one of our other favorite animated border colie.

As a boy also named Mackenzie (spelt MacKenzy) I feel this way too much

Mackenzie is a boy I know that but I absolutely find it funny that in the Latin American Spanish dub mistook him as a girl for a whole season and I just find it a bit funny but I never realized how many other places got this mixed up too. I mainly watch the show in the Latin American Spanish dub because that’s what mainly connects with me since my family is from Mexico I can find myself relating to the show a lot more. Regardless, this was a really informative video about one of my favorite characters!

As a Finn, it's kinda awesome to someone other to talk about at least a bit about Bluey's Finnish dub. I watch Bluey in original English version but will switch to Finnish for the translated names so I didn't know that Mackenzie or Mäkelä in this case is voiced by girls.

I thought Mackenzie was male the first time around... namely just from context clues. In cartoon dubs its actually very common for kids, even male characters, to be voiced by women. It avoids some of the difficulty of working with children, you're more likely to find an experienced voice actor and avoids a common problem of having a young boy voicing a character in a long-running show... if the show lasts for a long time that voice actor is going to age and his voice will change drastically. You can hear it in shows like for instance Steven Universe where they basically just have the character age with the VA so its less of an issue. You see it in anime too. In fact most popular shonen anime characters like Naruto, Edward Elric and Monkey D Luffy are voiced by women.

Then again, some people thought Bluey was a boy for the longest time. Also, interesting fact: D.W., from _Arthur_ , was voice by a boy.

Mackenzie always sounded like a very feminine name to me because I personally knew some girls and women named Mackenzie. I've never heard it used as a boy's name before in my life, but now that I have, it sounds really weird as one.

I actually thought Mackenzie was a girl for like 2 days or so before catching up with everything. I'm more new to all this, but it's easy to pick up on. Love the video, keep up the great work!

he’s a boy but in some dubs he has a girl voice!

Maybe it’s just my personal experience, but when I was a young kid, I prefered to stay away from my crushes despite me “loving them” I felt too uncomfortable to even be in the same room and that’s why I never understood child shipping because bruh they’re just friends

Personally for me, I prefer to refer to characters as they are in the country they originate from, so to me McKenzie is a boy, as he’s a boy in Australia the country where Bluey originated from.

That's really interesting that people have been talking about that but I will say that I'm waiting for them to make them in later seasons when they're much older like at least around nine and 10-ish if not like eight or nine years old to start shipping them because they're really cute but it could turn into something better when they're older because I do personally think it's really weird to ship a little kids together regardless on what it is!

if voiced by an adult female, they still might be going for male. A lot of adolescents male cartoon characters are voiced by adult Females. (written before it came up in the video.) so cartoons do use children voice actors and sometimes when they grow up the males voices tend to crack... depending on age of the viewers and type of cartoon they would change out voice actors... Hey Arnold had many Arnolds for example.

As a Finnish person, I was very confused when I saw Mackenzie's name being Mäkelä in the dub :D (because its a family name) But I understand the decision because Mackenzie as a name don't fit for Finnish language kinda at all. Also he isn't the only one whose name is different, for example Bandit's name is Rontti in the dub Edit: I forgot to correct that Mäkelä as a name doesn't have any gender, its a surname. The name itself doesn't have anything which could show it being female. I understand if the ä-ending might get the vibe because it looks like a, but its a different sound and also in Finnish language the a-ending of a name doesn't make it female like it does in many other languages. We have lots of men with that kind of names (Pekka, Jorma, Oiva, etc are male names)

This was absolutely fascinating. I never second guessed Mackenzie being a boy, but I also am from the US where it all seemed blatantly obvious to me. I love learning stuff like this about the show worldwide

I always thought everybody knew MacKenzie was male, since as you showed, characters have mentioned him with male pronouns, but I guess I never considered international dubs. I actually went into depth that for a different character, Bentley. Bentley is, by default, my favorite character in Bluey because my own dog is a King Charles Spaniel like Bentley, and I read somwhere that the Italian dub is the only one in the world where Bentley is male and I had to check that out.

Before I actually watched the whole show I had only seen a handful of Bluey episodes in passing with my niece and nephew. I thought Bluey was a boy initially 😅 Glad you're back and hope your father is doing better!

Contentious subject but I think you offered a fair summary, and I personally like how the series does as much gender neutral in regard to kids because it emphasizes kid don't focus on gender roles so heavily but of course fans want to believe, what fans want to believe and make up their own craziness.

I'll admit, I was surprised that this is a thing. Because of the voice, and the name, I have always (the whole 3-weeks that I've been watching Bluey) thought that McKenzie was a boy.

He's a Boy. He's got a deeper voice than the girls, He is asked to be Indy's husband in Mum's and Dad, he is referred to by male pronouns, and he seems to not be a fan of girly things in Barkey boats.

I think the studios doing the dubbing are granted some freedom regarding the side characters. Because most of the time it doesn't really matter. So they choose whatever they think works best. Be it for reasons within the show, or them not having another voice actor, or whatever else they might come up with. Like I remember a show "Alfred J. Kwak" (totally worth a watch by the way) where in the original Dutch version a Magpie side character is male and in the German dub they are female, without it making any difference, because they are a side character and only appear occasionally anyway. Perhaps a similar deal with Mackenzie, especially in season 1, where he only has small appearances and only later gets more into the spotlight. like getting basically an entire episode for himself. Perhaps also coming with more fleshed out plans what would happen with him in the future (like him becoming Bluey's husband and them having a child, or something). So the higher ups stepped in, so that would get remedied. Leading to Mackenzie changing to a boy in some dubs from season 2 forward. Like if memory serves me right, his gender only somewhat would matter in "Mums and Dads" in Season 1, so it would make a little more sense for Indie to ask him to play the dad (though to my understanding that doesn't necessarily matter all that much to kids anyway), but as he has no real interest in that either way, and doesn't actually play the part, it's of little to no consequence.

I did know a girl name Mekenzie ( a daughter of one of my dad’s ex’ wives) But Mackenzie the Bluey character is the first time I’ve heard the name used for a boy. But…. If the show is leading to BlueKenzie ( I don’t know the of the Ship) I could see their child having a gender neutral name Like Blake or Sydney

I never questioned his voice, but at the very beginning I was confused on his name since its a gender neutral name, but like you said, mostly a girls name. With the shipping thing, most people ship the teen/adult versions of the characters and not the children versions. This goes to a lot of tv shows and movies as well

"I was not expecting that... But I was expecting not to expect something so it doesn't count." 😅

I don’t understand why this has become so confusing (except in the version where Mackenzie is incorrectly labeled as a girl) Mackenzie is my favorite character

WHAT TIMING! LOL, My daughter got a pack of Bluey dolls for Christmas with a Mackenzie doll. She lost him at Nana's house and my parents were saying "I don't know where she is" I said actually Mackenzie is a boy in the US version of the show and my dad commented "That is a girl's name" because in the US it is a popular girls name! I always knew that name as being a gender-natural name and didn't second guess it when they started using pronouns.

This actually happens in tv shows a lot more than you think. Especially with characters with more gender neutral names, take Thomas and friends for example where Duck is definitely a guy but in the greek dub for series 2-5 he was a girl and Rusty depending on dub and series has been male, female and gender neutral. I do believe most finnish dubs give their characters traditional names, i think this is both for grammar and culture reasons.

I love him he's a great character

I’m in the Bluey Mums group and I notice many of the moms don’t actually pay attention while “watching” so they come to the group and ask. There’s a difference between actually watching and just overhearing it while your kid is watching and you’re doing something else. There are questions asked so often in the group I’m not sure how they still get approved. It’s not hard to figure out simple things like the sex of a damn character.

I watched the entirety of Space, went back to watch it again so I could understand it, and only then did the fact that his name was Mackenzie strike me, and I was briefly confused whether or not he was a girl

Early! ( 1 minute) Btw when this notification came up I was watching Bluey 😂

As a Finnish person I really want to say something about Mackenzies name translated as Mäkelä. If his name was supposed to be "Mikayla", it would be written as "Mikaela" in Finnish (which is pronounced way differently than Mäkelä). Mäkelä is indeed a common lastname in Finland and I think that might be the point here. Instead of it being meant as his first name, they probably meant to have it as his last name and everyone just calls him by his last name. That is fairly common in Finland to call your friends by their last name (often in a joking manner, but especially in situations where friendgroup has multiple people with same first name), using it in a same way as you would a nickname. It might be just also them giving him a random name to keep it more genderneutral, after all Bluey does have some other characters who don't have actual human names (like Muffin and Socks as a good example) so it would make sense. Othen than the name and the voice actor being a girl, its really hard to tell when someone is supposed to be a girl or a boy in Finnish because we only have genderneutral pronouns, but I had to go and check and it does seem that he has more masculine voice in the second season compared to the first season in the Finnish dub too. In conclusion: I'm fairly sure Mackenzie is supposed to be a boy in the Finnish dub too.

Greetings from Russia! In the original dubbing of the first season, Mackenzie himself and the characters used feminine pronouns and verbs in relation to him. That's why I thought Mackenzie was a girl. Then the translators and actors corrected it. But still, I realized it was better to watch the original dubbing with subtitles, I'm in love with voices and their accents.

In Spanish it's more complicated, cause we have more feminine or masculine terms, like for example if it's just a bunch of girls, it's ellas but if theirs one boy in the group it's ellos, but this was really cool video and I love the way you explained it! :3

I been questioning about Mackenzie gender since early 2023 especially that Leak clip of the 'future' in TikTok (Also I'M DEVASTATE THAT BLUEY & FRENCH BOY SHIP ISN'T CANON)

MacKenzie is a MacKenzie and I think that's beautiful.

As someone who is neither, I appreciate having a more neutral character. I have always been this way, and always appreciated the more neutral fellas.

My younger sister, who’s just as obsessed with Bluey as I am always thought Mackenzie was a girl. She only questioned after I was referred to him as “he’s just a silly Collie” (since I love Collies lol), might have to show her this lol Also sucks that with my idea of possibility traveling around the world, Indonesia has to be removed from my list. Guess I’ll stick to other countries to visit (like Iceland and the Netherlands)

I always thought MacKenzie was a boy..I dunno maybe because I'm a dude named MacKenzie..

I personally never had a problem with machenzie's gender. When I got into bluey. I knew machenzie is a boy. Btw. Amazing video margie. ❤❤

I'm woman and I have lower voice (probably alt). When I was at maby secend class of primary school (probably 8 years old) we went on school trip. At the bus two older boys started talk about me "do you see, that girl? She have voice like boy" (which I've heard) and then they started trying to get my attencion. With iritated I responded "what?" which unexpectedly sounded much lower than normal and one of boys said to his friend "wow, you were right, she does sound like a boy". I was too shy to tell them that accually they sounded like girls because they were before voice mutation ;-; In most animations young boys are play by female actreses and thats normal (but sometimes its turns funny like in original Dragon Ball, where main caracter grows up and no one wanted to change his voice actress).

I got into Bluey from RU-vid videos (specifically yours and Pugly's!) and when I heard there was a kid named Mackenzie I was excited because that's my name! Because of that, I assumed they were a girl but then I heard them talk and realized they were a boy. I knew Mackenzie was a Scottish name originally and that it typically was used for boys (and as a last name) and the fact that Mackenzie is a Border Collie, which is traditionally seen as a Scottish breed, it made more sense that they were a boy. I think the same issue occurs with Bluey herself. Initially, hearing the name Bluey you would typically expect that to be a boy's name, but both Bluey and Bingo are girls! I think it's really neat that more and more people are realizing that the connotations to a name do not mean they are correct. Names are just the things that we call people, it doesn't dictate what gender they are.

If makenzie is a boy or girl, I think makenzie is a boy for these reasons: Makenzie was with jack and rusty- both boys. Makenzie and Bluey were shipped in the episode Barry boats. winton would not ship those because they seem less competent than that (I guess) Makenzie and Coco were husband and wife in circus. Makenzie is voiced by a male voice actor Makenzie used/s male pronouns I think Makenzie is non-binary or both because: Makenzie fits in with the boys and the girls Makenzie's pronouns are varied They seem to feel comfortable with both Makenzie's voice actors vary I doubt that if Makenzie is nonbinary/both it will be shown much in the show due to controversy

Happy new year 🎉 ✨️ ❤😊

Amazing that you know Japanese! Is it just a will to learn or do you have friends or family that helped you learn?

I guess whether or not you pick up on the children's genders has a lot to do with your own upbringing. I will admit I'm a bit more in that traditional boat where I expect boys and girls to have different mannerisms. Bluey has a ton of female mannerisms as does Honey, who is also often misgendered. McKenzie always came across to me as a boy. But also when I see Winton saying that "Bluey is going to marry McKenzie", I follow the cues of the show and err towards the show not attempting to put an LGBT+ reference in there. But many people are either happy to see characters they find gender neutral, or are pre-emptively upset that there is an agenda. That comes down to upbringing. A child can be taught to look for things that might not be there, or to be open minded just enough to second guess their initial thought. But mistaking the genders of children is really not the issue. The issue is with those who harbour hate in their hearts and use this show as evidence of an agenda. In the end, while it is fun to dissect all the things the creators put into this show, this show is still for kids and it's going to reflect typical childhood experiences.

I heard muffin and socks are boys in certain countries to,weirds me out since they're sisters everywhere else also I knew makenzie was a boy since day 1 when he first spoke,I actually never knew makenzie could be a boy's name,probably cause I don't know anyone named makenzie in real life or in other shows or games,I'm aware names like chris can be a girl's name cause of harvest moon a wonderful life in 2003 there was a female character named chris (I can't remember if she kept the name in the story of seasons remake for the switch) I also know the name fred can be a girl's name since well in hamster and gretel their cousin's name is fred (also you don't get to hear the name winifred very often,so I only know 2 different cartoon characters with that said name) so I find it very intresting these names can be ethier boy or girl

I’m excited for the rest of season 3 to come out on Disney plus on January 17th

All I know is...as someone who's owned a couple of border collies and finds it to be an unpopular and underrated breed to own. I appreciate the representation of this excellent breed in a show about doggies.

This also reminds me of how Socks (a girl) is referred as a boy in some other dubbing/ language versions of Bluey, I think you spoke about this in another video a long while ago.

In germany he's a boy aswell with a boy voicing him and I personally think it's AMAZING how accurate the german voice is to the australian/og version in pitch and sound in general. It's very on the point. (Would even say I almost prefer it) And I think they did a awesome job in selecting voice actors for the whole Bluey show for the german dub! They all fit their characters personality soooo well! (At least in my opinion) Greetings from germany (bavaria) :]

I'm in the US and for a long time I thought Makenzie was a girl simply because of the name.

A lot of cartoon characters are voice by someone of the opposite gender. It's actually pretty common for male child to be voice by grown woman.

Being named Mackenzie I was told at a young age that it is a gender neutral name but some people did not know and I don’t blame them at the time we were all about 6/7.

Most male children voices are done by women so that's another thing that makes it hard to distinguish whether or not mackenzie's a boy or girl. But since these are all child actors there's no way that would happen. But there is a thing I noticed that might make it optional to be that McKenzie is transgender or is a boy or girl by the coloration of his legs. That they are opposite of each other so he could be a yin and yang thing going on. Or they don't know yet kind of a thing going on with the coloring. Also yes when I hear Mackenzie I was like a boy's name really? I know of a girl in my class named was Mackenzie.

McKenzie is probably a boy 8n all versions really. It doesn't matter if he is voiced my a woman. As a 46 year old woman, I could probably voice a pretty convincing male child because I sound like a male child. I have a pretty deep voice for a woman.

I love how the voices are by adults and kids. In the Spanish version, Mackenzie’s voice is so deep!

Okay actually I can confirm in Finland the voice actor is trying to sound like young boy cause we have lot of women voice actor doing boy voice to just like you said some do it deeper but I can understand why it would be hard to know if the character is boy or girl and in Finland it doesn’t help than she and he are same for example hän(she) and hän(he) so that makes it confusing to some who uses pronouns cause our pronouns don’t have different for female or male so in Finnish languages you have to say like him as boy or her as girl in Finland if some one want to be Pacific what gender we are talking about off course my example could be wrong I’m bad at explaining thing but hopefully this helps for the Finnish side of bluey fans

don't know if anyone else has pointed this out but im guessing 'kettle of worms' is an ausie saying? I know in some us states its 'can of worms'

Hello a finnish person here! I was just watching some Bluey episodes in Finnish where Mackenzie is featured and yes they do call him Mäkelä which is a surname It's most likely do to Mackenzie sounding kind of similar to the surname but it made me think this time when I was younger and for some reason every kid in school was refferd by their surname as a nickname (Once this one boy in my class was often called by a very typical femine name since it was part of his surname, and he liked that name so much he used it himself as well xD) so I like to think they do the same for the Finnish Mackenzie Other thing that is a bit hard to point out id his gender since Finnish doesn't have a gendered pronouns when reffering to others, but in circus however Coco calls him her husband which would mean he would be a boy (or that he just isn't comftroble being called a husband) Also Winton still teases Bluey and Mackenzie in Barky Boats and says they'll get married Which ever still works I like Mackenzie no matter what gender crises they'd have xD

Makenzie is my fav Bluey character

Mackenzie is my favorite non-Heeler family character on Bluey and I know for a fact that he is a boy

In my country he is a boy but his name was changed to Marzipan. Actually a lot of names were changed or translated. And Lulu was dubbed by a male voice actor which I can't understand because Lulu is a girl's name. 😂 At least in the third season in the second season I'm not sure. I have to rewatch that episode. I'm a bit confused here because where I live the season are released backwards on disney channel. So it started with the third season then the second was released a few months ago and the first is getting released at the end of january. On disney plus only the third season is available and one episode from the first season but with no dub of my native language on it.

I really appreciate they decided to use the name Mackenzie as a boy. We have a boy Mackenzie in the family and it was so nice to see his name as a boy. It meant really got his nieces and nephews excited.

Hello! I’m an Indonesian watcher who is a member of the LGBTQ+ community (to clarify: I identify as a biromantic, demisexual demigirl, but to make things easier, you can think of me as a bisexual woman instead - also I’m technically closeted but a lot of my close friends already know, I think the only people who don’t are my parents and extended family) who understands Japanese and wants to clear up some of the stuff regarding both: In Japan, there are no kid voice actors. As far as I’m aware, they have adults voice everyone - so for children, who need to sound more childlike, they hire female voice actors. For example, lots of the younger Links in The Legend of Zelda series are voiced by women and I think Ash from Pokémon is voiced by a female voice actor as well. Like mentioned, since Mackenzie uses “僕” (boku), he’s a boy. I’m not as familiar with Indonesian voice acting practices since I (and many other Indonesians) prefer to watch the original version of the media with subtitles since Indonesian dubbing is usually… bad. We were basically trained since childhood to read subtitles and lots of other kids shows were shown in their original language + subtitles. This is standard practice in the cinemas too, even for family friendly and kid movies. I can’t comment on the quality for Bluey’s dub though, since I watch it in English. Indonesia also doesn’t have gendered pronouns (everyone is “dia” here, with plural being “mereka”) which keeps a lot of things gender neutral. So, for this case, I think most kids watching Bluey in Indonesia, subbed or dubbed, know that he’s a boy, especially if the voice clips have him act/sound more masculine. Still would be interesting to know what happens in the later timeskip episodes though. With regard to Indonesia’s anti-LGBTQ+ laws… yeah that sucks. There’s a lot of really bigoted people and most of the hate comes from those who are either uneducated/unaware about why people are LGBTQ+ (like my parents) or those who are really religious (side note: I don’t think all religious people hate the LGBTQ+ community, but it is unfortunately the norm in Indonesia). There’s a ton of LGBTQ+ people in Indonesia as well (lots of recorded trans people but I’m sure there’s plenty of us hiding around there). I’m also pretty sure the law only applies to: 1) Extremely religious provinces (I noticed Aceh was used in the photos and that is a very notorious Muslim province. Technically it’s an autonomous region in Indonesia that has its own laws outside of our secular government. I think alcohol is outlawed there as well). 2) Indonesian citizens (if you’re a foreigner, you’re safe). Still sucks, but please don’t let the law discourage you from visiting us - we are a beautiful and diverse country full of amazing scenery (not just Bali). Just please be respectful of our historic and natural sites. Law enforcement here is also trash so I doubt they’ll care for something minor as someone being LGBTQ+ (not to mention the law is super vague as well) when we have… so many more issues. I say this because a lot of movies still keep some LGBTQ+ scenes in it without raising the age rating (unlike in Russia). Many Indonesians also hate this law - we really value freedom of speech and any restrictive law, even those that don’t affect them - is disliked by a vast (silent) majority of us. We have a lot of recorded trans people here after all. Indonesians have a trend of hating any restrictive law - there were riots on the streets for days over censorship in media I think at one point. Thanks for getting to the bottom of my essay! I made a few more edits for clarity and formatting for easier reading.

since the year started what about some new theories on the 28 minutes episode? 👀

I think that the writer said that he is a character who is battling gender dysphoria as shown in the episode where he goes into a black hole and towards the end of it, he’s being pulled by the girls and at the same time he’s being pulled by the boys notice some episodes McKenzie acts like he’s a girl when he’s hanging out with the girls but when he’s hanging out with the boys he acts like a boy

I remember for a while I thought Bluey was actually a boy💀

Ever since I started watching Bluey, I always thought Mackenzie was a boy tbh! I thought his name was interesting since like you said in most recent years Mackenzie/McKenzie has been used for girls. But I thought to myself that boys can have the name too. And the name sounds gender neutral in my opinion!

There are a lot of shows that have female voice actors for young male characters, especially if the characters are going to stay young or development of the show would take a while. If a child actor went through puberty and their voice changed during recording/the shows development before the character was due to grow up it would be difficult for them to continue working and the actor may need to be replaced. In this case if Noone called out that Mackensie as he until season 2 its possible that it was overlooked during localisation in the areas where Mackensie does use female leaning language so the localisation team adapted and continued to use it?

When I started watching Bluey with my kids, I spent a couple of episodes thinking *Bluey* was a boy... but it was always obvious that MacKenzie was a boy. I understand that non-English countries could have had a different experience based on voice actors, but if they didn't change the script, the show goes a very long way to both set up MacKenzie as a boy and constantly hint at a "Bluey + MacKenzie" relationship in the future.

The Anti-LGBT law in indonesia is probably an islamic law, and with most island in indonesia are inhabited by muslim people, this islamic law look normal in my opinion, even through i don't know if homosexuality is a sin in islamic religion, and islamic people have varied (mostly negative) opinion toward LGBT peoples.

I live in Brazil, and here, we had something similar with Paw Patrol. For the whole 1st and half of the 2nd seasons, Marshall and Zuma where voiced by female voice actors, with female pronouns being used for both

wife, mom, writer, youtuber, and you know Japanese? geez what can't you do? Thats awesome! Would love to know more info on that !

In my country Makenzie is a boy and I have decided since I've seen two versions of the spelling of the name Makenzie is Makenzie without a C and then Mackenzie with a C. So in my opinion the one without a C Makenzie is the masculine version and the one with a C Mackenzie is the feminine version. But that's just my opinion I don't know if that's like officially what the human race thinks that's just what I think lol.

Here in Brazillian Portuguese Mackenzie was referred as a girl but then was switched to a boy in season 2 and there were a few adaptations that I didn't like such as Cherry becoming Carol, Chippy became Chico, Radley became Zé till season 3 and Tiny became Thiago, which took off a bit of the details such as the reason why Chippy have a cherry tattoo and the joke that Tiny is actually a joke with him being a Great Dane

For me i believed he was a boy but then i heard them call him MacKenzie and i was like really he is a girl? Oh well

if ur too lazy to watch, mackenzie (or however u spell it) is a male

I'm not sure why there was such confusion in season 1. In the episode "Mums and Dads", Indy was told to go play with Mackenzie, so she told him to be the Dad. She didn't pick any of the girls to play with afterwards - Snickers, the Terrier, and Winton - because she was looking for a dad specifically because the dad stays home and she had to work. So it makes sense that Mackenzie would follow that trend. Also, if we have to be super stereotyped, his room was very boyish in "Fruit Bat". I never once had a doubt Mackenzie was a boy, so all of this confusion is just baffling to me. Same thing with Bluey, she just always seemed to be a girl to me. Maybe it's because I worked with kids and I can hear the difference in the voices. I don't know.

my cousin’s son and daughter are 10 and 6 and are so hard to tell apart by voice that it takes a few seconds to catch how they use certain words to tell them apart…given the young age of the characters it’s not a shock that supporting characters would be hard to tell the gender especially when they have a neutral name and the irony of it all? so many boy characters are voiced by females, it’s just easier to hire a female to do it instead so that you have consistency throughout your show. Bart Simpson, Timmy Turner, Tommy Pickles just to name a few are all voiced by females

Here in Portugal in the first season of Bluey they used femenin pronouns for mackenzie on some episodes and also for Socks! They used male pronouns for socks on one episode but in the previous one Muffin called her sister not brother. And in season 2 and 3 they were normal again.

Being and Indonesian living in Australia I always thought Mackenzie was a boy. Even though the Indonesian dub is a female actress for Mackenzie, the dubbing and character lean more to masculinity. However I'm not sure on this whole situation regarding Mackenzie's gender in the Indonesian dub as i stick to the Aussie version when at home in Australia.

I love your videos that are very cool. I just started watching you.

I feel like he is a boy because bluey has a baby that resembles him and bluey

In Spain there are a lot of femenine voice actresses playing boys, and not only kids. For example, Bart Simpson is dubbed by a woman and also Manny from "Modern Family", through the whole series. This particular actress is the voice of a lot of young and teen boys in Spain.

I used to think Bluey was a boy until I saw that one episode where she yells at Uncle Rad “I’M A GIRL!” I never questioned Mackenzie’s gender though.

When I was a kid, people mistook me and my brother for each other on the phone. Now as an adult, people mistake me for my mom on the phone

Circus is one of my episodes top fav on season two because it this 😂 That was the very first episode I found out HE was a boy, not a girl. Only reason why I messed up is because I have read Dork Diaries, and the bully, who is a girl, her name is Mackenzie. Also, I noticed you have a baby bluey plush, I just got one for my birthday 😂 🥰

As a Brit I had no idea McKenzie could was a girls name.

I live in denmark, and here mckenzie was dubbed With a female voice, i Saw the shopping episode form season1 and mckenzie clearly had a female voice,i could clearly hear it.

“this might seem like a really weird or ridiculous question” 😭😭 it’s crazy that’s the most ridiculous thing about this.
