Automation Queen? Why?

[JunkhogMakison]

Come on your gonna give the giant robots Queen as the default gender? I was gonna name my bot Boyo and have him be my faithful gay bro companion and everything.

Cant you just, leave the gender of the Automation ambiguous like you did with the Puppets in XI? That way we can name and RP our bots however we want

I know you and your playerbase are scared of the concept of big men let alone big robot men but just let us have King and Queen or just no gender at all.

And I know what people are gonna say *Well men can be queens* this is a JRPG and the fanbase is like 80% hetero white dudes, they cant even grasp the concept of a guy being over 200 pounds let alone being a Queen.

I highly highly highly doubt 80% of the population is white hetero dudes, those probably make for 40% and thats at best. This game's community is extremely diverse and filled with ppl from all races genders and sexualities. Plus when did we know the gender of robot? do robots have genders? I'm confused

Pretty much this - considering that the two turrets the maschinst already has are named after chess pieces, its safe to assume that the same holds true for the robot, being name after another chess piece, the Queen. Has nothing to do with gender or crossdressing or robots being female. Just a chess refrence.

...and do we even know yet if there wont be a King in some capacity aswell?

What if the player is the King? After all, the game is over when the King is in Checkmate.

I don't think the name has anything to do with gender.
You're reading too much into it.

Why is this the hill you want to die on?

General forums get worse with every expansion.

I miss the days when the worst of it was people complaining about steps of faith.
Now I get to read countless threads on gender locks, my bunny is too tall and I can't RP properly with my robot.

Wut.

At times I have the feeling that some play this game to satisfy their sexual needs only, it's so bizarre.
