History Main / RuleSixtyThree

** Of the three Runaway Guys, LetsPlay/ProtonJon gets a lot of fanart of many distaff counterparts of himself during his livestreams. Popular depictions are Pon-Pon, which spawned from a fanartist giving him the JustForFun/{{Bowsette}} treatment, Jontae, a version based on VideoGame/{{Shantae}}, and Rosajon, a version based on [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Rosalina]] plus GagBoobs. Another known distaff counterpart is a parallel universe depiction of him as a female streamer, complete with a dog named Biscuit (as a counterpart of Jon's cat Bagel). Stephen Georg even asks him about the alts during episode 3 of the ''Podcast/DiscOnlyPodcast'', and was surprised that there are "three boob timelines", one for Rosajon, one for Pon-Pon, and a much older one for an alt named Electron Jen.

* In response to a fan letter, Creator/EiichiroOda of ''Manga/OnePiece'' fame drew [[http://danbooru.donmai.us/post/show/570908/ reverse-gendered]] versions of the main cast in chapter 545's SBS Corner. This has spread like wildfire among ''One Piece'' fans -- try finding ''any'' characters that haven't been gender flipped. Not even {{Big Bad}}s are immune -- Crocodile? [[http://danbooru.donmai.us/post/show/596577/ Nope.]] [[AGodAmI Enel?]] [[http://danbooru.donmai.us/post/show/614418/ Nuh-uh.]] [[WakeUpCallBoss The three Marine admirals?]] [[http://danbooru.donmai.us/post/show/612154/ Seriously, NO EXCEPTIONS.]] (Images are [[NotSafeForWork NSFW]].) This goes so far as to include [[http://3oct1111.deviantart.com/art/Thousand-sunny-TG-198196406 The Thousand Sunny]]. Then we get Ivankov, whose canonical powers ([[GenderBender gender bending]]) not only mean that he/she can do this to him/herself, but to other people as well. Did we already mention Crocodile? Comes from the crazy theories of his third weakness, but it's gotten to the point where there's stuff that isn't just the character [[GenderFlip gender flipped]] anymore.

* ''Manga/AxisPowersHetalia'', [[AnthropomorphicPersonification as a series where gender is essentially an arbitrary distinction]], actually has official art fulfilling this rule.

* ''Manga/MahouSenseiNegima'' literally has a Rule 63 in regards to [[spoiler:Fate, and her name is Sextum because she's the 6th Averruncus series.]]

** Female!Harry is the most common. ''FanFic/{{Moratorium}}'' and the SoBadItsGood ''Fanfic/BecomingFemale'' are two examples on this wiki.
** Female!Ron is also occasionally seen. Case in point: ''FanFic/WeasleyGirl''.

* ''VideoGame/{{Touhou}}'' fandom, due to the ImprobablyFemaleCast and the FirstLawOfGenderBending, has relatively little of this considering the sheer number of fan works. Regardless, plenty of the LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters [[http://danbooru.donmai.us/post/show/433254/ have been subjected to this]], including [[http://danbooru.donmai.us/post/show/821660/ Marisa]], [[http://danbooru.donmai.us/post/show/484424/ Parsee and Yuugi]], [[http://danbooru.donmai.us/post/show/763817/ Yukari and Reimu]], [[http://danbooru.donmai.us/post/show/638546/ the Tengu trio]], the ''IN'' [[http://danbooru.donmai.us/post/show/222796/ playable characters]], [[http://danbooru.donmai.us/post/show/590203/ the Scarlet Devil crew]], [[http://danbooru.donmai.us/post/show/394810/ and even]] [[TheOneGuy Rinnosuke]] (images are slightly NSFW due to advertisements). And the less said about [[MemeticMutation Cho-Marisa]], the better.
* [=PotatOS=] aka [=GLaDOS=] of ''VideoGame/{{Portal2}}'' fame has gotten this treatment too.

* Common in fan art too, as a search for "Genderbent Joker" on Google will reveal. [[BrainBleach You may want to]] [[NotSafeForWork keep safe search on.]]

* After the Release of ''VideoGame/Doom2016'', some fans have wondered what would [[OneManArmy Doomguy]] look like as a female. The [[https://i.imgur.com/yuGYrSK.jpg results]] [[https://i.imgur.com/40A8S1K.png produced]]are [[ActionGirl exactly]] [[AmazonianBeauty what]] [[StatuesqueStunner you]] [[BoobsOfSteel would]] [[CuteBruiser expect]].

Other counterparts include Discord --> Eris[[note]]Eris was the Greek goddess best know for the Apple of Discord that ended up kicking off the Trojan War[[/note]], Celestia --> Prince Solaris, Luna --> Prince [[Franchise/SailorMoon Artemis]], Cadence --> Bolero [[note]]Cadence's full name is in Spanish and 'cadence' is a rhythm term, so her counterpart is named after a Spanish rhythm[[/note]], Shining Armor --> Gleaming Shield, Queen Chrysalis --> King Metamorphosis[[note]]a chrysalis is the cocoon that a caterpillar builds for itself as it metamorphoses to a butterfly[[/note]], and King Sombra --> Queen Umbra [[note]]Sombra is Spanish for shadow, whereas Umbra is shadow in Latin[[/note]]. Heck, even one-off characters get in on this, like [[Music/WeirdAl Cheese Sandwich]] being rule 63'd as Grilled Cheese.

* ''Manga/DragonBall'' examples can be seen [[http://starrdust411.deviantart.com/gallery/8827971 here]], [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4333729/1/Journey_to_the_East here]], and [[http://danbooru.donmai.us/post/show/757661/artist_request-barefoot-belt-boots-dragon_ball-dra here]].

* Alas it seems only with this will you find a badass woman in the ''Manga/DeathNote'' fandom. [[http://no1-knows-me.deviantart.com/art/DNchicks-193391816 the main (formerly male) cast as women]], [[http://2yarik-aka-gingi.deviantart.com/art/I-N-S-O-M-N-I-A-153214580 fem!L]], [[http://liriosparrowpirate.deviantart.com/art/Light-FemalexMisa-Male-Version-139012628 fem!Light and male!Misa]], and (SFW) SchoolGirlLesbians [[http://2yarik-aka-gingi.deviantart.com/art/Nice-swimsuit-Yagami-chan-139577409 Light and L]]. [[http://2yarik-aka-gingi.deviantart.com/art/Heard-Grace-143360273]] and [[http://iheartpigs0618.deviantart.com/art/Pardon-My-French-152112090 fem!L]] [[JumpingTheGenderBarrier with Light]].

* Genderbending Loki from ''ComicBook/TheMightyThor'' isn't that difficult to imagine since not only is he a shapeshifter normally, but he assumed Sif's form for several story arcs for the lulz. Princesses [[http://kazeki.deviantart.com/art/LADY-THOR-244700620 Thor]] and [[http://theladyloki.tumblr.com/ Loki]] aside, [[http://www.tumblr.com/photo/1280/balphesian/8448123007/1/tumblr_lpdlu8Dtvi1qk7ytl The Warriors Three]] have also enjoyed time as the fairer sex.
* [[http://fornax.tumblr.com/post/8423005240/experimenting-arrrrgh-but-now-its-time-for-bed The Avengers trio]], in a fan art depiction.

* Common in fan art too, as a search for "Genderbent Joker" on Google will reveal. [[BrainBleach You may want to]] [[NotSafeForWork keep safe search on]].

* Behold, a [[http://kelly1-watxm.deviantart.com/art/Rogue-and-Gambit-Gender-Bender-53873558 sketch]] of genderswapped ComicBook/{{Rogue}} and ComicBook/{{Gambit}}. This was met with enthusiasm, mainly because it would mean Gambit were a hot, flirty French chick.

* The Franchise/ArchieComics gang, like most comic book PrintLongRunners, have attracted the occasional Rule 63 interpretations. A 2012 story, "The Great Switcheroo," provided official examples in ''Archie'' #636.[[note]][[MeaningfulName Meaningful Number]]?[[/note]] In the story, Comicbook/SabrinaTheTeenageWitch's cat Salem casts a GenderBender spell on the entire population of Riverdale, not to mention Comicbook/JosieAndThePussycats too.

* Terraria allows players to create a potion using all seven herbs in the game. It's named the [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Gender Change Potion]].

** Then again, there's still ''one'' [[AmbiguousGender character]] that seems immune to RuleSixtyThree. Then again...

** If there's ever going to be a fic or discussion about the gender-bent characters, there's a host of widely accepted Main/{{Fanon}} names. Twilight Sparkle is Dusk Shine, Rarity is Elusive, Fluttershy is Butterscotch, Rainbow Dash is Rainbow Blitz, Pinkie Pie is Bubble Berry, Spike is Spines (or Barb/Barbara), Only Applejack remains the same.\\

* After ''WesternAnimation/TheLoudHouse'' episode "One of the Boys" premiered, [[FanficFuel several fanworks]] (such as ''Fanfic/OneGirlWithTenBrothers'') were created to explore and examine the lives of the opposite-sex counterparts of the Loud Siblings.

* There are several ''WesternAnimation/TheLoudHouse'' fanworks (such as ''Fanfic/OneGirlWithTenBrothers'') that explore the lives of opposite-gender counterparts of the Loud Siblings that appeared in the "One of the Boys" episode.

* In the ''WesternAnimation/TheLoudHouse'' episode "One of the Boys", Lincoln uses a dimension-jumping device created by Lisa to go in a dimension where he has 10 brothers instead of 10 sisters. When he tries to go back, he then accidentally ends up in a dimension where he is a girl with 10 brothers. [[spoiler: At the end, it was AllJustADream.]]

** The internet being what it is, this is bound to go the other way too. Look long enough and I dare say you'll find male!Hermione and male!Ginny fanfics/fanart ''somewhere''.

* Stephenie Meyer's latest ''Literature/{{Twilight}}'' novel rehashes the story of the first book, but the protagonists are now the human named Beaufort (Beau for short) and the vampire lady Edythe.

* Many fanfics for ''Literature/TheHobbit'' gender-swap either Bilbo or one or two of the dwarves. Then there is ''[[http://archiveofourown.org/works/4661757/chapters/10636026 The Monstrous Company of Thorin Oakenshield]]'' whose title is rather unsubtly based on Pratchett's ''Discworld/MonstrousRegiment''. Accordingly, [[spoiler: the whole company with the exception of Bilbo and Gandalf turn out to be female.]]

* Website/FourChan is already doing this with ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica'', with Madoka being a [[RoseHairedGirl Rose-Haired Boy]], Mami looking like a prince, and Homura as a long-haired {{Bishonen}}. There are a number of cases of gender-flipping only one member of a [[{{Shipping}} pairing]] to make them a heterosexual couple, but we don't talk about those.

* ''Webcomic/EnnuiGo'': A series of strips shows us the world of Earth-11, where the the genders of all characters are flipped.
