I can assure you it most certainly is not a one way ticket.

Personally I don't agree with it for the same reason I don't agree with gender- and raceswapping characters in general; it's nearly impossible to do it without coming off as pandering, and often that's exactly what it is. But what makes it worse is that there are parties hellbent on making sure any criticism of such is silenced with cries of...well, you can probably guess.

I just don't like having yet another fandom wind up being poisoned by people like that.
