Its one of his operating rules... so yes he actually believes that. Granted its true to an extent.... but everyone of his stories is above Ranma being
permenently a girl or at the least excepting his girl side. While you get some that are rather good, the semi-neglected Foxcat is one of the best Ranma/Naruto
stories, most of his stuff is simplely a new an exciting, to him at least, way to girlify Ranma and more recently Naruto has that avenue open to him.
Personally, I agree with him about audience sabatoge... most heavily in the romance issues (people are actually routine in posting reviews that are basically
variations on "Good story... but could you making it a Shampoo pairing... After all the Ranma/Akane pairing is old/stale/done to death and what the story
needs is a fresh exciting, new pairing like Shampoo/Ranma". Totally ignoring that pairing itself is decade and a half, working on two decades old,
itself. They actually believe that as well.
Edit for tjalorak: No it wouldn't... Girlifing Ranma is the entire point of writing the story in the first place.
