One of my friends told me something he had heard about the horrific dubbing being done to Naruto, and I was wondering if someone can confirm this for me.

 

He told me that he had heard that they are turning Haku into a girl (so as not to confuse the tiny tots that the English dubs are being marketted too). 

Has anyone else heard anything about this?  I really hope not, but knowing how things get dubbed, I'm afraid its the truth.

I love Haku, and I'll love him no matter that the US does to him. The big problem I have with gender-swapping is not that it would be done on the basis of being uncomfortable with androgyny, but being uncomfortable with homosexuality, even if it's only implied. I think censors just tend to make up excuses to justify the bigotry.
