Of course, if the posters are all willing, that's an ultimate win for all of us. "Belittling" and "debating" are very different as well, of course. Flaming is something we can't stop, but when one starts what should be an open discussion with

Thinking about it deeper though, if we all luckily treat the thread as simply this line:

That being said, what 13+ guy do you do think it was a miscast for the Japanese to have a female voice for him?
it could progress well like your examples. It all depends on how the message gets to people; hopefully not too many people are hit with the first line, like I was.

To actually answer the original post, I don't believe I've seen a young boy portrayed poorly by a female seiyuu. If there were any, I'd see it as a general miscast instead of it being poorly cast due to gender.
