Some of the text in game assumes all player or characters are male. For example, under many of the Corp skills info the text states “Note: The CEO must update his corporation…”. Isn’t it time to recognise that at the very least, there are both female players and female characters? Can we get gender neutral wording to cater to all?

You would think that in the future they would have gender-neutral wording, so let’s update Eve!

No one cares if there are fake internet girls.

And stay away with gender neutral speech. It is a nightmare to localize and if you localize it with something like Phettberg de-gendering or neo-pronouns, you create an even more divisive environment than with generic masculinum voice.

7.10 d. Antecedents of common gender (sex not known) are referred to by he, him, his. It is understood that the masculine pronouns include both male and female.

I’m fine with whatever the women want themselves to be called. It doesn’t matter to me, it’s just a word.
Define “women”.

That has been correct usage since before Shakespeare.

Traditional Usage:
-
It is common to use the masculine pronoun (“he,” “him,” “his”) to refer to a common gender noun.
William Shakespeare frequently used masculine pronouns (he/him/his) to refer to individuals whose gender was unknown, irrelevant, or to create a gender-neutral reference.
Example in Play:
The Comedy of Errors: "There’s not a man I meet but doth salute me/Archaic Pronouns: Shakespeare used archaic personal pronouns such as thou, thee, thy, and thine. (Which all are singular)
Edit: “their poise” makes the assumption that they where all working together in a group. Basic english…
“Throughout history, attempts to micromanage casual conversation have only incited distrust. They have invited people to look for an insult in every word, gesture, action..” -GHWBush

Yes, using the masculine form is not technically incorrect and is common usage. Using their to refer to a singular person is also correct and common usage.
The difference is that using he may make you sound outdated and some people will regard it as sexist, while using their is gender-neutral and inclusive. It is also the APA recommended form.
Formal Writing: While accepted by many style guides (like APA and Modern Language Association), some strict traditionalists avoid it.
Eve is an old persons game. And has to take into account how it translates to others. It is written correctly.
Roleplay with another man works way better than with a woman.
As many men will submit to my demands through roleplay.
Behaving like this and still believing that others are the problem is quite funny

I mean, I’m sure you will take offense if I started using female pronouns when referring to you, but expect females to be fine with male pronouns. But hey, you do you girl.
