Most people identify with gendered language & a binary gender. Like nearly everyone. So when discussing market appeal, it makes sense to discuss it in a gendered way.
Not every game, not all the time. But for a clearly femme coded game in makes sense to optimize towards you target audience
the game is cool but it would be so sick if we could leave this gendered language behind in gaming. as a nonbinary person this is so fucking stupid.

Why ever would we do that? Binary people make games.
Non-binary people make games, and they use gendered language, too.
It has never been left behind, and it never will be.
I know, right? And “combat” reminds me too much of actual violence. I prefer “kerfuffle” or “spot of unpleasantness”.
Oh we can’t say “kerfluffle.” Reminds me too much of feathers and I’m a mammal.
Ok, lol.
