Dear Fanfiction,
You know, it was my intention to make Kairi one of the heroes all along; you really jumped the gun on this one. I also made Aqua one of the principle heroes and what's wrong with Larxene and Xion?
I've done enough to represent females. Your stupid accusations are baseless.
Yours Sincerely,
Kingdom Hearts Canon

Dear Canon,
Ha, you think? Should we mention that you failed the Bechdel Test in every game but one?
Love,
Fanfiction
The sexism issue came up a little in some of the reviews and after I came across a channel called Feminist Frequency on Youtube with a girl who is about to do a kickstarter project on sexism in video games, I started to think about it and decided that yeah, we should call this one out. I also started thinking back to fanfiction I've read ever since I started reading fanfiction for Kingdom Hearts and there have always been stories where fans have tried to make Kairi the hero. That's right, not A hero, THE hero. Those fics are actually quite rare but they did come up (this is where fanfiction 'jumped the gun' as canon put it). The 'accusations' part was referring to this small group of people who like to point out the sexism in KH. It would often appear in the author notes of the "Kairi is The Hero" fanfics as justification for why they were writing what they were writing (not that you need justification so long as your story is cool).
You can look up the Bechdel Test yourself and see what it's about but I'm pretty sure that every KH game except for BBS has failed it.
