Talk:Äs Nödt

He?
I'm confused did the translation of the new chapter state As to be male or are we just addressing it as such due to complaints of political incorrectness from certain users who shall go unnamed? Mr.Rig and Zig 00:01, February 6, 2014 (UTC)
 * In addition to that, it would also prevent a myriad of discussions and edits trying to fix the gender. Also, from what I gathered in English class, historically "He" has also been used to refer to persons of unknown gender. Recently though, people, mostly feminists, have been pushing to use the word "they" for those instance as it is the most gender neutral third person pronoun.


 * In actual answer to your question, there were numerous usage of the male 'he' in the most recent chapters. Then it was further echoed in the translations. So the general agreement that As is a male has been confirmed at this point for this wiki. It was not a decision that had to do with any real opinion but on what the information from the chapters were basically telling us.--

Well thanks for the response glad to know that. Mr.Rig and Zig 02:34, February 6, 2014 (UTC)

Would it be possible to note said "numerous usages" of male gender in the original Japanese? I have seen male pronouns used for Äs Nödt in translations of the two chapters since Äs Nödt's return (566 and 567 as of this writing), but from what I have been able to gather from transcripts of those two chapters (I haven't seen the originals), no specifically male terms were used in the original Japanese. Only gender-neutral terms like "yatsu" were used. While I admit those transcripts may be incomplete, or mis-copied from the originals (or I could have missed something), it seems that to this point the author has made a concerted effort to hide Äs Nödt's gender. It seems odd that he would let it slip "in the most recent chapters" when there hasn't been any kind of special reveal by the character. --Quigonkenny (talk) 01:14, February 8, 2014 (UTC)
