Tranka Verrane	Posted - 2007.05.30 11:05:00 - [1] Why do agents not have the basic AI to address female characters as female? It's starting to really annoy me. EVERYTHING in this game is so male oriented, despite the fact that there are female characters, never mind the actual female players, yes I know we're a minority but I am starting to get really annoyed by being addressed as a he, or being told I'm the man for the job. Either sort ot or rewrite the agent text to be non gender specific, please.

Raem Civrie Umbra Congregatio Interstellar Alcohol Conglomerate	Posted - 2007.05.30 12:53:00 - [5] Why the hell are you letting it bug you? This really does sound like a weak reason to get angry. So if the mission writers took the path of convenience instead of waiting for a code rewrite? Is it really that insulting to you and your gender as a whole? Also, the "man for the job" does not necessarily denote that you're male. Last I knew, "man" was a byword for the species as a whole. ---- I solemnly vow never to check the date of a topic or post.

Doesn't need a re-write, a simple change of 'man' to 'person' would suffice. And not a very undestanding way to start your post. A little sensitivity would go along way. ........

I don't know what it feels like. Sensitivity is impossible as I have nothing to base it on. Also, I don't see why I should be displaying sensitivity. I called it as I saw it; an unreasonable demand for a problem I'm not perceiving as significant. If that makes me a horrible person, then so be it. But it's time you people started being a little understanding of us insensitive people. You have no idea what it feels like to disregard the feelings of others on a habitual basis. ---- I solemnly vow never to check the date of a topic or post.

"To hell with supercapital bowling and drones that can't 'Go to A and shoot', this mission agent is using the wrong pronoun!" The true secret to enjoying life is to live it dangerously. -Friedrich Nietzsche Killmails are for pooftas.

Vicious Phoenix	Posted - 2007.05.30 21:10:00 - [14] He is the correct gender neutral pronoun in English. Some people think it's sexist but it's like this in many languages. The man part you have a point though. CFW (Certified Forum Warrior) I kill people ingame too. Originally by: CCP Tuxford I prefer dew over pepsi. I prefer beer over most things. Damn now I want beer.
