    I don’t understand why you’re bringing it up, the talk about characters being genderless happened years ago. Most of us here are up to date. Also in Japanese they you explicitly male pronoun, thought you may find it interesting. There’s no point in getting angry over misgendering a character.

    This is why scanlations are ass. Sometimes these translators don't know how to translate correctly.

    its not the fault of the scanlators, don't blame everything on them. The Japanese language has no intersex nor gender less pronouns although they have words to refer to those types of people its not necessarily a pronoun and they is used in context when referring to multiple people not as a pronoun for an individual.

    Yeah, you’re right. I shouldn’t really complain since I’m not even reading the scans anyway.
