Kanon isn't there to tease shippers, Kanon is there to illustrate a facet of Beatrice's motive. Again, as I've pointed out, the gender issue has to be important, otherwise there's no need for Zepar, Fufur, or Lion. Likewise, if Beatrice is just a girl occasionally dressed up as a boy, Zepar and Fufur should be two women with one dressed up as a man. There's also no reason for Natsuhi to talk about the
man from nineteen years ago. None of those things has to do with shipperbait, but all of them have to do with ambiguous gender.
It goes far beyond Kanon.
