Gender locked race?

[Yasminou]

Personally, I believe it's the latter. Au Ra, (or in this case Ao Ra) use a singular method of identifying their gender because of French linguistic rules. This isn't a hard rule, and could easily have used the standard rules for male and female. They went the extra mile and showed that they will go against uniformity for comfortable reading. I feel as though if they are willing to do that, they would be okay with removing if/then statements for options that do not exist. This is also compounded with optimization's sake of making sure the game does as few processes as possible, although this is rather minor and wouldn't affect much so this is hardly an argument.

What do you mean it is not a hard rule? It is a hard rule. Only few words starting with a vowel forbid le/la to become l' in front of them. It would be the same as saying that in English, a becoming an in front of a vowel sound is not a hard rule (true vowel sound, not semi-vowel like in universe for instance).
What do you mean by comfortable reading?
Reading French? In which case, l'ao ra is the comfortable one, not le ao ra / la ao ra.
Or reading the conditional statements about race and gender? In which case, I don't see the point in testing the gender if the outcome is the same.

I think she's referring to the last thing you mentioned, about conditional statements. I don't know how French works with coding, so I can't comment, but it sounds like an interesting point.
