All the edits were made by players, someone must have found a reference the first guy missed.
It would have been easier if someone pasted the source.

Whilst it would be neat to imagine Three Rings actually included a transgender character, I'm gonna go ahead and assume that what happened is simply that the original article creator just assumed all the npcs were male by default, and someone corrected it afterwards.

So before anyone knew, the guys who corrected her was Bartz and Galuf.

God, the last time there was a thread on this, I don't think anyone who was around then will ever forget. I will give the creator credit though, it served as an astonishingly effective way to draw out bigots to meet the banhammer. Especially Hetero, the poor fool got publically ostracized after that debacle, not that he didn't deserve it. I do wonder in hindsight if he actually called himself 'Hetero' due to his more deplorable beliefs.

SOUPRICE!
I was actually expecting my cutest npc couples thread would have gotten a few bigots. Either the admins are deleating the posts too fast for anyone to see or this forum has more reasonable people then the Republican party.

To be honest anyone who was around to see Hetero get eviscerated by Eury when he went on his transphobic hate spree probably knows better than to step out of line. It was glorious to watch it unfold though.
That and although you see conservative posters around here, the number of people fargone to the point of bigotry are pretty scarce, and those that do pop up tend to get flattened out by the moderating team pretty fast. I wouldn't go as far as saying the forum is 'progressive' but the moderators do a real good job of making the place a safe haven -if you'll excuse the pun- for minority groups.

I still find it funny when people claim the admins or OOO doesn't pay attention.

Likely just a error, as stated in previous comments.

Whoever changed it probably did so because Izola is a female name. Not exactly common, but it exists.
Though if we're going to base gender off name, Echo should be changed to female as well.

But Ecco the dolphin is a he.
Even if it is a potential mistake, I believe Izola has no officially established gender at this point, so there's nothing to really refute here.

"Whilst it would be neat to imagine Three Rings actually included a transgender character, I'm gonna go ahead and assume that what happened is simply that the original article creator just assumed all the npcs were male by default, and someone corrected it afterwards."
Yeah, +1 to both of those. I'm guessing most random peops, even on the forum for a video game, aren't following the PA Report, so here's a relevant thing to fall under their spotlight, this time about accidental inclusivity and how heartwarming it was for the writer of the article to see how much it's appreciated. D'aaawww!
I do love the idea of deliberately baiting bigots so as to more easily identify them and filter them out, though. You know how in Sin City, Marvin likes hitmen 'cause he can indulge his cruel streak freely? I could never be a community janitor. >:D

Sylvin is a girl name, imo.

Derpuraptor Strikes Back
You can't say that, potato. The only thing that would likely prove if it's a male or not if whether they wear a raiment type armor or have a moustache. Plumes don't count.

How bout?
We all say the editot of the wiki decided gender was a fun little joke. I mean what's put on the net can be edited. It's all opinion.

Potentially boring post:
In human (fetal) development, before gender is factored in, the 'default' way that the body develops is female, hence why men have nipples.
Technically speaking, this means that 'she' should be a default pronoun over 'he'.
So all videogame NPCs should be by default referred to as 'she' if unspecified? Maybe that's taking it a bit far. Especially if Knights are robots/wireframes/whatever.
Just save all that bother and say 'it'.

nipples on men are a good thing.
Nipples actually have a purpose.
If a man is born with out the DNA for nipples and had none his daughter could be born with out nipples. Now she can't feed a baby.
