Well, I did before, too, but getting Squicked by the underwear controversy deterred me quickly...

The flaw in your theory, though, is that several people note writing on Quote's cap in the game.
Oh, that's great... All we have are a couple of images saying "no", in-game conversation saying "yes" and an unclear Word Of God. Now I can either think that the writing is there and we just can't see it or that Sue (can't remember anyone else at the moment) never mentioned it. Sadly, the most logical thing to say, "Bah! It's just a game!" roughly translates to "I don't really belong here."...

Not only did you find her panties, but the Iron Bond given to you has a heart on it. I'm not sure I'd give my sister a block with a heart on it unless I was sickly queer.

I think that we can usually discount artwork for the writing. Really now, maybe Pixel just thought that it looked weird in the credit art to have distracting writing on his cap.
Or maybe Pixel thought that silly English-speaking people would get confused since he decided to give Curly the name instead of Quote.

But she's a robot. She may not have an understanding of these things.

On the other hand she wears panties (at least until Quote steals it), so she has shame. Love shouldn't be too far from that.

BTW, panties == love!

Also, Quote's a robot, too, and he banged Chaco. They are probably fully capable of... these things. I mean, they have the needed hardware, they'll surely have drivers as well.

"Chaco banged Quote" you mean?

Really, there is no conclusive evidence that they did anything other than just sleep in the same bed. :o

Well, Pixel could (and I'm saying could) call the beta's protagonist Quote. Oh, and here's another theory: The writing was on the cap during the War, but got erased before Quote woke up in the Start Point.
Yet somehow Sue could read it.

Simple theory: Curly can't read English, only Japanese.

Robots can feel emotion in pixel's world, you can't discount love.
Remember Grandpa [forgot his name] Mimiga? He said he believed that those few robots (you and Curly) had souls.

Well they were made by the same person, because they were sent on the same mission- so if that theory is correct Quote can't read his own hat. Why would the creators write something in English and not teach their bots that language? If I were creating a bot so advanced I would have gone farther and taught them all [or the most major] languages.

Yet he can read the signs written obviously by Mimigas in their own language...

Yes, but they are probably like children in a certain sense.

Right now you are drifting away to the "I don't want them to be like that" territory.

Mimigas speak the same language Sue speaks, which is Japanese.

The Mimiga language thing was only for the movie script.

Both Humans and Mimiga speak Japanese in the game.

Pixel never mentions which language "Curly Brace" is written in.
Considering that "CURLY BRACE" were the only two english words in a otherwise Japanese reply.

Oh and the hats in these:

for an otherwise Japanese game.

Just because it's a Japanese game doesn't mean the characters speak only Japanese.
