        Which sucks because now I don’t wanna use it when grammar demands. Oddly enough they seem to not want to use it when grammar demands either.

          The trick is to use it as an adjective every time instead of as a noun. Nounification makes shit weird.

      Yeah, like why you callin’ them “females” bud? Wanna be reminded of “males” when you talk about 'em?

      The accepted ways for heterosexual men to refer to the opposite sex are: Chicks, babes, birds, broads, dames, girls/gals, lassies/lasses, señora, maidens, and Sheilas*

          Same problem as “females.” You drop two letters and all you got is “men.”

          Sounds pretty gay to me ngl

      It’s used as an adjective here, not a noun. This is how people describe things even before the trend of documentarizing women in the past few years

      Legitimately, how else would you say this? “Woman characters” clearly sounds wrong, “characters who are women” sounds unnecessarily long and clunky.

        I’d just say “women”. characters is redundant when you specify it’s in a game.
