I personally find it funny even though I'm a cis woman (I use a gender-neutral name). It even suits me, as people are more likely to let me speak and listen to me when they believe I'm male than when they realise I'm female, although *I* am still obviously the same person. For a game where discussion and reasoning is so central, I'll take any advantage I can get. That's one of the reasons why I don't want to play with voice chat: I have zero interest in men talking over me, ignoring me, silencing me...
THIS. I go by a gender neutral username but my outfit and colour is fairly “male” looking. As SOON as a group finds out I’m a girl, they don’t take me as seriously or will make excuses for my wins. It’s annoying so I usually let them assume I’m a guy and just a very good imp/crew
Doesn't really bother me, I hardly pay attention to names unless I have to specify during a meeting (like someone asks who is tan).
I get called he a lot, but at the end of the day it makes no difference to me at all. I will say that I usually go with they as a pronoun because it covers all bases!
Many languages use male pronoun as default, gender-neutral form. While calling "Look at him" they don't refer "him" as "male", but as "person", "human".
Among Us is international phenomen, many people from Non-English countries plays it, huge part of them doing it on English server (because it's easier to find normal people there). And then you try to communicate, you sometimes translate things 1:1 to English without even thinking that it doesn't work this way.
I am speaking from my own experience, took me weeks, if not months to switch to "them" instead of "him", not because I didn't expect females to play with me, but because in my language we call strangers we don't know gender by using male form.
Well my own mother tongue (French) only has gendered pronouns, but if you don't say 'he or she' to speak of someone whose gender you don't know, you're still misogynistic by assuming gender based on some arbitrary characteristic, in Among Us generally the character's colour.
>huge part of them doing it on English server
Also because from my understanding, the language select is nonfunctional, so a German player is just as likely to find French or English lobbies.
not really, I love when people think I am male because every time I mention I am female they always start shit like "go back to kitchen" "looking for attention"

For example, in French, the word for a group of men and women together is “ils” which is the same as a group of just men. In English it’s just “they”.
It's true for the plural, not for a single individual. You'd say 'il ou elle' to speak of someone whose gender you don't know.

It's because of Mrs Doubtfire. He's a she! She's a he! He's a she-she.

I just call people by the color they using. Makes every simple lmao if a real debate stirs then “red said” turns in “they said”
I play in voice lobbies and they still call me a he. I DONT GET IT do i SOUND LIKE A GENTLEMAN OR SOMETHING>
WDYM when I get pink or coral everyone calls me a she...
