Ok, I see. I think our best bet is to implement female character choice regardless of language and figure it out for a later update. In my mind, the easiest way to have this work is to find a gender neutral words established for each language. For French, we can have let's say the plural for each noun.

Gender-neutral text is impossible in many languages. My opinion is to live with the male-only language, even with a female character sprite, until a correct solution is found and implemented.

Gender/Age Neutral Character Choice?

Post by fDroid »

I'm irked by all the references to the character being a child, too. This is limiting the target market. Bad business decision.
I expected to find a place to share a love of a game, but found political oppression for daring to mention tyranny & genocide. 450k die per day, but no one cares, because the world is addicted to grinding.

There is no business. The game is free. How is that a business?
