Xaku is %100 a Man?

[dragonesslife]

I don't understand why many people keep calling Xaku "He", "Him", "Guy" and "Man" when they have no defined gender. Now I don't interested with Xaku anymore.

I hope Dev's should make new a warframe infested is female like Nidus soon.

[PhellAsleep]

Because male pronouns are traditionally used to refer to both genders. It's only relatively lately with identity politics the general public have made a point of segregating and assigning what labels we need to apply to each other.

Strictly speaking, Xaku's description specifies no assignment of gender. If your beef is with what other people are calling it, that has nothing to do with DE.

Because name "Xaku" sounds more masculine than feminine.

Tho fact that other's opinions of a feature you like in a video game effect your own opinion and enjoyment of it seems like an issue you should look at.

Cause game is about how you see it.

And I honestly do not give any ♥♥♥♥♥ about a gender of a character I play in a video game.
Coming from someone who "mained" Nezha. And I find it slightly disturbing that trap meme is used on a child deity as in mythology Nezha is a child, but I still enjoy playing Nezha as much as I did before I learned about that "meme".

I see you still got a way to go in the game's story.

Xaku is a mix of male and female warframe fragments, right? So that means Xaku is literally a "they", like a group, not just in the sense of what gender they are as a singular warframe

They may not have always been asexual robots, but they are now.

No, Umbra is walking proof of that. Just because they're essentially lobotomites from New Vegas doesn't mean they're not still living.

Actual spoilers. They're not metal. Like they have metal armor bits, but 99% of them is essentially the infestation. See stuff such as Valkyr's back story, and the references from the infestation bosses calling us their flesh. The design of the Warframes followed the experiments with the infestation. They would live if not for the intervention of transference to link to them.


Anyways. Xaku would reasonably use they/them given their case, but I think even the devs on livestream said "him." No one gets it right because just putting it in a description doesn't really catch the attention of anyone, and it is a pretty insignificant issue.

They are infested, infested strain applied to Dex warriors, males and females.

what each community member calls xaku is their decision, they are described to have no real gender so its literally just up to your preference, i personally consider xaku a female but that shouldnt affect your view on them, theyve still got parts from both genders around their body. also technically saryn fills the role of a female infested frame

Warframes are weapon systems. Just call them "it". The Tenno/Operator's essence controls them and can pass from frame to frame by Transference.

That would be true except for lore-related reasons that, in the end, definitely mean Warframes do have sexes and most likely genders. Xaku is the exception by being a mish-mash of three previous warframes, so it really is "they" instead of "he" or "she"

Fun-fact: Xaku was originally designed as female in early concept work
