What gender is LOADER

[svetocat]

In RoR1 the loader is male, in RoR2 she is female. in RoR returns she is indicated as a man in the cutscene, BUT in achievements and records she is indicated as a woman. Therefore, what is the gender of the loader, since in the title of the entry it is indicated as a LOADER, but in the entries themselves it is written that it is a man.
I’m still inclined to believe that this is a man, since I love RoR1.
write your opinion.

factually, he was a dude in RoR1, female in RoR2, and male in RoRR again

In the Russian version, he is simply either a man or a woman. at least in translation

I dunno, the point of the Loader is it can be anyone. Debt slavery isn't just for men anymore, we here at debtcorp are inclusive!
I got the impression they were male and that'd make more real-world sense but I'm just sticking with "it doesn't matter" and that the Loader represents just a working class person. While the log entry does imply they might not be a typical strong man and are something else it also just reads like "there are many people like this, we will not acknowledge their individuality" from the log.

Then again, does it really not say "Rebuild his life"? Does it say "Rebuild their life?" "Rebuild her life"? I beat the game in both original RoR and RoRR and my head thinks it said "His".

the loader from 1/returns and loader from 2 are different characters. according to the devs, it was a different ship that crashed in 2, with a different cast that's suspiciously similar to the original one

it says "rebuild his life, brick by brick" for RoRR

The safe travels was never downed. It remained in orbit on the planet for "Rescue Operations"

On topic, the loader is male in the first game and still male in the remake.

In French, the Loader is indicated as female in their name and in the logbook, but as a male in character selection tips (And artwork in logbook looks male).

There's also the Drifter who is female in the character name and tips, but as male in the logbook.

And Sniper has a non-binary pronoun according to the ending sentence.

I had assumed it was a translation issue, since everything is gendered in french, different people might have gendered things differently by accident (or on purpose, since the non binary sniper ?).

Honestly I don't care if a character is male, female or anything, especially since it has no impact on the game, and they are 4 pixels tall. But I hate the lack of consistency.

I think it's because LOADER is not the name of a person but rather the work/role lorewise.
So it can be a male LOADER on the UES Contact Light (RoR1/Returns) and a female LOADER on the UES Safe Travel (RoR2).

Same goes for Commando / Sniper (and others) I think. unless it's specified : Artificer, Drifter, Huntress and RailGunner (RoR2) are women.

ITT people referencing other stuff while TC has made it clear that within JUST THIS GAME loader is referred to as both male and female(maybe only in the Russian translation and is an error if so) while in the original game was ONLY referred to as male
