Despite the year the lore still includes heavy uses of gendered pronouns and nouns which results in my character having to defend themselves on being mis (or unnecessarily) gendered. I really couldn't give a shit about one-dimensional stereotyped characters, but I do when the in-game universe constrains the roleplay potential through how uninformed or undeveloped it chooses to be. IPC's have an immense potential for roleplay when attending to how they establish a sense of identity without a sex + expectations to influence their gender identity.
