Bad_Mojo 11/24/19 3:27:28 PM #1:	One of the best things MTG has done right is when they started to use the word, "Their," since it make sense. It went from something like, "Target player sacrifices a creature he/she controls," to, "Target player sacrifices a creature they control." This kind of shit happens over and over and over again. I'm the only guy that works in the kitchen, people come in and say, "hello ladies," and it's the same the other way. I'm watching Naruto Shippuden right now and I guess all the ninja are male because they only address ninja as males. "When a Ninja from the Leaf Village lays down his life. . .," and not, "When a Ninja from the Leaf Village lays down their life. . .."

That character had a gender, you're talking about someone. No, it's just a construct. It may or may not actually be sentient, but you're not given a strong indicator either way. Although the main reason other characters refer to it as male is because it looks like one (with clothes on, at least, I didn't explore beyond that).

It's just what you're used to saying. It's your personal prejudice coming through. And that is fine, everyone single person has this. It's not a bad thing Edit - What are we talking about? Let's say you want to talk about how to hit on a girl. Then you've already created two characters, which need genders. If you're talking about all the brave soldiers that have been killed to save our country, then they should be brave soldiers and not brave men It's only an annoying thing to me because I'm not some 'woke' person that just started to complain about this. I have always been very hyper awake of things like that. In the rules of games, they almost always said his or her and not just player or something. I've always been aware of it.
