Think about it. Okabe CONSTANTLY drinks Dr. Pepper. He then discovers a time machine he accidentally created, unfurling a series of events that lead to Mayuri dying over and over again and Okabe nearly breaking himself trying to save her. That is definitely the worst that could happen, Dr. Pepper.

* Also, there have been many cases of intersex infants being assigned one gender at birth, sometimes without telling them there was ever an option. If this was the case with Ruka, then sending a text back advising mom to change her diet wouldn't have any effect at all on genetics, but it might result in subtle changes in the resulting newborn's appearance, as well as the parents' ''perception'' of that appearance, that might influence WHICH gender was chosen. Then again intersex births may be handled differently in Japan.

Of course, hormone concentrations in meat are pretty damn small and very highly unlikely to cause such a major change (congenital adrenal hyperplasia is usually the culprit in XX virilization via hormones), but it makes a lot more sense than magically transforming a Y chromosome to an X with a pager.

* Another possibility is suggested in episode 10, when he notes that moving world lines feels the same as when he was delirious with a fever. This troper is no medical expert himself, but maybe instead of paranoid delusions, the earlier fever evolved into some life-long illness with occasional dissociation and false memories.

Okabe just took the role of a mad scientist so Mayuri wouldn't die on him, by declaring "You are my hostage!" The years went on and finally he became consumed by the insanity that is Hououin Kyouma. He first acted like a mad scientist for Mayuri's sake, but after a while (As he spent time almost exclusively with Mayuri), he "forgot" who he really was. He then actually went through NEGATIVE character development during Steins;gate, where by the end, he is back to being Okabe Rintarou.

[[WMG:Ruka is intersexed]]
Of the progestin/androgen-induced variety, specifically. Think about it for a moment:
* It's rather unusual that, for a seventeen-year-old male, Ruka has just about ''no'' secondary male characteristics.
* Save for the reproductive organs, Ruka is almost ''exactly'' the same when after the genderbend.
* Said genderbend was induced congenitally, when Ruka was already conceived.
* Getting into extended text conversations reveals that Ruka's gender issues are a bit more complicated that straightforward mtf. Namely, his parents [[http://imageshack.com/scaled/medium/46/vyet.png raised him as a girl]], which he's [[http://imageshack.us/a/img14/1637/kgvj.png very]] [[http://imageshack.us/a/img51/7505/lxq0.png ambivalent]] about.

Now, I think it's safe to say that you can't switch out a Y chromosome for an X in utero, much less via text message-mandated diet change - That's the joke, after all. What you ''can'' do is virilise genitals of an XX fetus during early prenatal development via excessive androgen exposure, such as in higher concentrations in maternal blood. Incidentally, such genital virilization itself happens independently of hormonal effects on [[http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3296090/ gender identity or sexual orientation]] [[http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19403051 that are suspected to occur in the second trimester.]] Also incidentally, the types of androgens and progestins implicated in virilization are used on beef cattle to boost muscle growth.

Of course, hormone concentrations in meat are pretty damn small and very highly unlikely to cause such a major change (congenital adrenal hyperplasia is usually the culprit in XX virilization via hormones), but it makes a lot more sense than magically transforming a Y chromosome to an X with a pager.

This is what most sane people would think upon listening to him and it makes sense if you think about it. He shows signs of this even before "Time travel" is involved (Note that the "Time Travel" is ALSO a product of his madness.).

*** It'd be nice if that were true, but I have to reject that. In the VN you actually use the phone yourself, and you can see that the phone was off the whole time before Kurisu took it. It didn't turn off when Kurisu touched it, it was already off.
