Gender-Inclusive Writing	comment	Many times, a writer of fiction wants to give a character an Ambiguous Gender. It might be because it's an important detail in the mystery or because the character is really in disguise and the writer doesn't want any potential crossdressing stigma. The easy solution is to only have the character be directly addressed, but what happens if you need to have other characters talk about them? Enter Gender-Inclusive Writing. In English, this is when every attempt is made to avoid any use of the pronouns "he", "she", "him", "her", or any references to the gender identity of a character. English ranks about middle in the difficulty of pulling this off, since most words in English do not need to be gender-specific, and even most nouns can be fairly flexible too. However the gendered pronouns are very ingrained into normal dialogue, especially when one is referring to other people, and there aren't too many alternatives ('they', 'their' and 'them', mostly), so it's painfully obvious when you are trying to conceal gender (though there are some tricks that make it easier), almost always enough to draw attention to itself. And let's not forget the far more strongly-gendered languages (like Spanish or German) where pulling this off without looking or sounding 'fake' is... at least very difficult. note In German the only established third person singular personal pronouns, "sie" (her) and "er" (him), are clearly binary gender marked. However, it does get easier in other grammatical forms: first and second person personal pronouns are not gender specific and neither is the third person plural. There are also other problems concerning binary gendered language, e.g. since many common German nouns are specific to binary gender, e.g. "Alex is a police officer" would have a (slightly) different German noun depending on Alex's gender ("Alex ist (eine) Polizistin [woman]/ (ein) Polizist [man]"), although the name wouldn't tell. But there are ways to come by which normally won't cause (much) attention: the participle forms in plural are the same for masculine and feminine grammatical gender ((female) workers: Arbeiterinnen; (male) workers: Arbeiter; workers (regardless of gender)/ working people: Arbeitende (participle)). Often you can avoid the gender specific noun. ("Alex works for the police.") On the other hand, languages on the other end of the spectrum (such as Japanese and many East Asian languages) don't bother with pronouns much anyway, making it much easier and more natural to obscure a character's gender (which explains why localization teams have so much trouble with this issue in anime and video games). This is most common in interactive fiction designed for players and avatars of any sex and gender. This generally shows up in games where the developers were too constrained (or, perhaps, too lazy) to have the game capable of modifying the dialogue to fit all genders, so they try to write for all. This leads to a Featureless Protagonist (although as that article mentions, they more often than not fail because they assume Most Gamers Are Male). The Gamebooks genre makes heavy use of this (along with Second-Person Narration), since they won't exactly split the book into volumes to accommodate everyone. Often, they get around this by either assuming a gender based on the genre of the book (e.g., a science fiction book would assume a male reader while a book that places the character as nobility in medieval Europe would assume a female reader) or by just creating a very generic character with a Purely Aesthetic Gender. This is also the main reason Choose Your Own Adventure and other gamebooks are written in the second person. It's not entirely rare for it to show up in other fiction, though. A special mention also goes to websites (such as this one) that cover these works and have to refer to both while not favouring one or the other. Having a gender-neutral name or a surname helps a fair bit, but it gets much more difficult if the character has no surname but different first names depending on the gender. In these cases "they", "s/he" or an appropriate title like Commander or misthios are used instead. See also Pronoun Trouble, which is when translation issues cause the natural-looking gender neutrality to quickly break down when attempted in other languages. Examples

Like the above Animal Crossing and Splatoon examples, the gender choice is also referred to as "choosing a form". On the rare occasions that Byleth is referred to with third-person pronouns in dialogue, "they" is used; however, "he" or "she" is used in the guide. Fire Emblem Engage follows Three Houses' lead in referring to the gender options for Player Character Alear as "choosing a form" and preferring gender neutral pronouns and terminology when referring to them.

Also, the Dalns gods are sexless, so it would be inappropriate to assign gender to them. Notably, when referring to the individual noted above, George at first tries to remember to use â€œsar,â€� but gives up and refers to sar as â€œsheâ€� for the rest of the book.

Rather than actually working to fix the problem, they chose the easier solution instead and just made it politely greet everyone with an awkward yet technically accurate "Welcome sir or madam."

Except for in the DM guide, where it alternates. Second Edition created the "Iconic Characters" to make things easier. If giving an example of a cleric doing something they could use Jozan the Cleric, a "he". If they were talking about a wizard they'd use Mialee, a "she". This edition also had a section explaining the use of the "he" pronoun as generic.

Even though Hidden Object Games typically star a Featureless Protagonist, and the player can use any image for their character's avatar (including animals and inanimate objects), many of the City residents use male terms (e.g. Monsieur, sir, etc.) when talking to him, thus indicating that the player's character is supposed to be male despite his otherwise lack of attributes.

"Witch", derived from Old English wicce, was grammatically feminine (the masculine form was wicca), and has historically been used to refer to female fictional characters as well as actual women. Majo (é”å¥³) is even more obvious than that, it literally has the Chinese character for "female" in it. However in Yamada-kun and the Seven Witches, both words are intentionally used gender-neutrally, with the introduction of male witches later in the series.

Gender-Inclusive Writing / int_a825da3e	comment	Magic: The Gathering: Starting with the Dominaria set in 2018, the game has adopted the use of singular 'they' to refer to players of unknown gender (replacing 'he or she'), and for non-binary characters or characters of unknown or no gender. Ashiok is a genderless being. Although accidentally referred to as "he" in an early promotional piece, Ashiok has, before 2018, been referred to with no pronouns at all. Instead, all references to Ashiok use "Ashiok" in place of a pronoun before 2018, and singular 'they' in their appearances after that. On the other hand, even though Eldrazi are genderless beings too, the three Eldrazi Titans are still referred to with gendered pronouns. The pronouns correspond to the genders of the false, beautiful, human-like gods associated with them: the female god Emeria for the chief Eldrazi Titan Emrakul, and the male gods Ula and Cosi respectively for Ulamog and Kozilek. In the English version, many words that have feminine counterparts in real life are used gender-neutrally, for example "steward" (as in Nissa, Steward of Elements), "god" (as in Nylea, God of the Hunt), etc. One reason is that, for some subtypes such as God, the game designers aren't comfortable referring to a female character as both "Goddess" in her name and "God" in her subtype. Conservative languages with grammatical gender, however, don't really seem to be trying to be gender neutral despite the intent of doing so in the English version, so Nissa is specifically a "stewardess" in German, French, Italian, and Russian; Nylea is specifically a "goddess" in German, French, Italian, Spanish and Russian even though her subtype is still "God", not "Goddess". However, where gender is not obvious at all, sometimes these same languages may follow English texts more closely. This is the case for the French and Italian names of the five Dragonlords of Tarkir, 3 of whom (Atarka, Dromoka and Kolaghan) are actually more like "Dragonladies". It's possible that the French and Italian translators couldn't pick up any clue on their gender for the lack of typical telltale features (such as Non-Mammal Mammaries) or the lack of communication with Wizards of the Coast, and it doesn't help that these ladies appear very buff, nevertheless these ladies are referred to as "seigneur-dragon" ("dragon-lord") in French and "Segnore dei Draghi" ("Lord of Dragons") in Italian. In other languages, the ladies are "properly" named, namely "seÃ±ora dragÃ³n" ("dragon lady") instead of "seÃ±or dragÃ³n" ("dragon lord") in Spanish, "DrachenfÃ¼rstin" ("Dragon Princess") instead of "DrachenfÃ¼rst" ("Dragon Prince") in German and "Soberana Dragoa" ("Dragoness Sovereigness") instead of "Soberano DragÃ£o" ("Dragon Sovereign") in Portuguese. Sometimes gender-neutrality may arguably be somewhat awkward even for this game. "Bartered Cow", for example, is subtyped "Ox", which is supposedly free from gender connotations. Despite having created "empresses" before, Wizards now have The Wandering Emperor. Perhaps the justification here is that she is a ruling monarch (empress regnant), not the wife of one (empress consort), and historically in Japan (on which the set in which this character is featured is based), empresses regnant were referred to with the same title å¤©çš‡ (tennÅ�) as emperors. That did not stop other European languages to flout this explicit policy set by Wizards, though, so she is still "The Wandering Empress" in those versions. The East Asian languages (Chinese, Korean and Japanese) don't suffer from this kind of discrimination thanks to the lack of grammatical gender, and the traditional practice of using the same words for both males and females (such as "emperor", "king", "god", etc.), even though words specific for females ("empress", "queen", "goddess", etc.) are still available due to Western influence. These languages, therefore, adhere rather faithfully to the English version, and use their own "god", "king", "queen", "enchanter", "enchantress", etc. precisely where English does.

The few times such pronouns are needed, "they" is used, although Raven sometimes uses "it", as well. You can find more information on why the developers decided to do this in this blog post.

Apparently, pretty much everyone assumes the second character to be male (except for the woman who eventually becomes the writer's lover).

Like the above Animal Crossing and Splatoon examples, the gender choice is also referred to as "choosing a form". On the rare occasions that Byleth is referred to with third-person pronouns in dialogue, "they" is used; however, "he" or "she" is used in the guide.

Gender-Inclusive Writing / int_e0f72cac	comment	The character Angel in Sticky Dilly Buns is anatomically female but gender fluid, and often passes as a (probably Camp Gay) man. There was some deliberately induced Viewer Gender Confusion when Angel first appeared, with both readers and a lot of characters assuming that this was a guy. However, once hints about the truth started appearing, careful readers noticed that characters whoâ€™d known Angel for a while were a lot less casual with gendered pronouns; thereâ€™d been some fairly careful subtly gender-neutral writing going on.

This particularly stands out because, while Korean language tends to be generally neutral, a lot of Korean idol songs still use many references to a specific gender. All songs from the LOVE YOURSELF series (except for "DNA", "Dimple" and "Outro: Her") use gender-neutral writing. "Blood, Sweat and Tears" is an earlier example, also describing the object of the singer's obsession without indicating gender.

Gender-Inclusive Writing / int_f367511c	comment	Yu-Gi-Oh!: Originally, the English version used clunky expressions such as "he or she", "him or her" and "his or her" when referring to players. Nowadays, with shortened and condensed text in play, "they", "them" and "their" are used instead. Apart from the singular gender-neutral "they/them/their" that are still used in the plural in conjunction with following verb forms, there's also just the "standard" plural "they/them/their" that refer to monsters, cards or other gameplay elements as non-gendered inanimate entities. In German, depending on its grammatical or syntactic position, a translation for the English gender-neutral "they" may be either "sie" (which partly derived from, and currently coincides with, "sie" meaning "she") meaning "they" and "er" meaning "he". "Them" translates into "ihm" meaning "him". "Their" does into "seiner" which is "his" in the nominative (when it modifies a noun that's a subject) but "her" in the genitive (when it modifies a noun to which something belongs) and dative (when it modifies a noun that's an indirect object), which makes it somewhat "gender-neutral". In versions in the Romance languages (French, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish), per their respective grammars, the default third person (singular and plural) pronouns are always masculine if there is any ambiguity in the gender identity of the subject in question. Basically, only masculine pronouns are used gender-neutrally, even when referring to inanimate objects or when used as dummy pronouns. Therefore it is simply impossible to ever see the feminine pronouns used in card text if the referrents aren't unambiguously and exclusively feminine (for example, "card" or "cards" may be feminine, but "monsters and Spell Cards" may not because "monsters" is masculine). Monsters can appear as male or female, but as a gameplay element, they're all referred to as "it". As mentioned above, the "it" of the Romance languages are masculine because the words for "monster" are masculine. Practiced otherwise inconsistently in terms of card names and flavor text. English grammar obligates flavor text to use "he/him/his" or "she/her" in many cases; in some of those cases, such as "Ancient Elf", a visibly female character is incorrectly referred to as a he. Most of the time, gender-neutral words are used in the Japanese version, but in some instances, words for "female" are inserted, for example in compounds such as "megami" ("goddess"; literally "female god"), "joou" ("queen regnant"; literally "female king"), "jotei" ("empress regnant"; literally "female emperor"). Some words for roles that have been traditionally assumed by men are also prefixed by the word for "woman"; for example "onna senshi" ("female warrior"), "onna kenshi" ("female swordsman"). In other instances, the Japanese version uses genderless words while the English version uses gendered words; for example "Amazonesu Kenshi" ("Amazones Swordsman") is called "Amazoness Swords Woman". In some cases, things get very confusing, such as the case of "Shinobaroness Peacock", although this one is reasonable because translating the genderless Japanese word for "peafowl" to "peahen" just because this one's a she would potentially screw the naming scheme up later. Most of the time, names in other languages are translated from English (with few exceptions). They, however, employ gendered words and apply grammatical gender inconsistently. "Fire Sorcerer" is specifically feminine in French and Italian. "Dharc the Dark Charmer" (given his masculine appearance and title in German for example) is a boy, but he's female according to his French name. One workaround for languages (such as Portuguese and Spanish) that use the feminine suffix "-a" to replace the masculine suffix "-o" which alters the names of cards (known collectively as an archetype), which in turn potentially results in ambiguous game rules (one might reasonably ask, 'Are "Luminosa" cards treated the same way as "Luminoso" cards?'), is to include both suffixes in the archetype's name. Thus, "Lightsworn" is known as "Luminoso(a)" in Portuguese and "Luminoso/a" in Spanish, both of which include male and female characters, even animals such as "Rinyan, Lightsworn Rogue" ("Rinyan, a Ladina Luminosa"; "Rinyan, PÃcara Luminosa"). Sometimes, a female character is introduced way too late after the archetype has been established as predominantly male, so she just gets titled masculinely to spare the game producers the hassle of reprinting cards, such as "Noble Knight Joan" ("Nobre Cavaleiro Joan"; "Noble Caballero Joan"). Italian simply doesn't give a crap and just uses masculine names for whole archetypes, despite the feminine names of individual female characters. Due to Yu-Gi-Oh! being heavily reliant on Japanese card names, sometimes they have to change the Western names of certain old cards, against the apparent femininity of the monsters they represent, to make the gameplay less confusing. Some examples include the English, German and Spanish names of "Darklord Marie" and "Darklord Nurse Reficule", which are both apparently female and were once gender-neutrally referred to as "the Fallen One" instead of "Darklord". In the Japanese version, they go by the title "å •å¤©ä½¿" ("Fallen Angel"), which is of course gender-neutral, but then problematic in that it has a tad of a religious connotation to avoid. Such a religious connotation, however, was never a problem in French, as all "Darklords" have always been "Ange DÃ©chu" ("Fallen Angel") instead of some more English-oriented literal translation; the word "ange" ("angel") is only masculine, but the suffix "-e" is still ungrammatically (or maybe, grammatically?) added to the adjective "dÃ©chu" to yield "dÃ©chue" for these female angels. In Italian and Portuguese, these two "Darklords" are still specifically "Darkladies" instead due to the grammatical use of the feminine suffix "-a".
