I’ve heard nonbinary voices that are feminine as well as nonbinary voices that are masculine, but the voices of the standard stick figures in C&H are exclusively masc. And tbh, the type of humor present in C&H really makes me feel like the authors tend to go along with traditional gender norms and the longstanding trope being a man is the norm while being a woman is a special trait.
For the record, I personally hate maleness being the cultural default, but I think its good to recognize the trope when it occurs.
i understand where you’re coming from. I’ve spent too many years in legal and legal adjacent fields where everyone is male regardless of whether they are explicitly female or not. we’re still fighting those battles. it’s not really my point though:
this is art. could you identify a nonbinary voice by sound alone?
what gendered characteristics does the character have? what causes you to identify it with a specific gender when it lacks characteristics?
those are just rhetorical questions y’know. stuff to think about.
