Is loader a boy or a girl?
I've heard some people say the character is a girl but on some wikias it said the character was originally going to be a girl but they changed him to a boy.

Queue 70 comments, the discussion jumping to gender and "Muh free speech."
OP thanked you in post #37, guys. Marvellous work, but the thread's answered.

No one's flaming the OP. We aren't all going to go ballistic at the mention a woman exists in the game, or that 'x character is probably a girl'.

You did a bit more than 'bring up gender' that one time and you know it. Let it goo.

Why do people care about gender in fiction, it's fiction, who cares.

If you look at the log entry for Loader, it uses female pronouns I believe. So, it's a girl. A very masculine girl.

lots of people feel uncomfortable in the shoes of the opposite sex so, forcing a player to do that in order to enjoy their favourite playstyle is just unnecessary in this context.

i mean hell, we're wearing crazy 60s neon space-suits. it wouldn't be impossible to not accentuate rump sizes w/o ruining the aesthtic of the characters.
Anyone who feels uncomfortable from playing a game where their character is a different gender has issues.

Look at this whole thread, someone mentions gender (OP), people get thrown into a frenzy.

I'm just saying it shouldn't be a big deal to talk about it. I don't care if anyone thinks gender matters or not, it matters to some people, and doesn't to others. Neither group is superior to the other for that.

Speak for yourself.. I find no such uncomfort.

Your interests are not our interests.
This forum is for a very specific interest, that is to say Risk of Rain 2.
Either discuss the game or don't linger on other topics.

Right now you are flaming and playing victim.
You're doing a bad job at both.

If I say I think Loader is a trans women will I get banned like I did on the ROR 2 discord server, when i mentioned I thought rex was a transexual robot . Free speech? Not online anymore lol

If loader is a women I think they should have given her a huge rack to match huntress and arti. Maintain the theme you know

First of all, why in the ever loving name of an Irish Sheep Dog would Rex be trans? Why? Second, Loader does have a "big rack", it's just hidden behind her rigging and breastplate leather thingy.
Lastly, THREADS OVER GUYS! MAKE A NEW THREAD; STAY ON TOPIC PLEASE!

I really dont care if loader is male or female i just enjoy punching things in the face. But with whole update being made around some "Alien" atmosphere with similar ships on new map i still think that loader is some kind of Sigourney Weaver from Aliens part 2 when she was in loader mech. So yeah, i am okay with that.

ROR1 Loader is a man.
Why did they change it?
No idea!!!!!!
Because the creepilly thick artificer & huntress caused left-wing media backlash that probably guilt tripped the devs into trying to not look sexist.

it's a relatively tame response but, they really should have just avoided the situation all-together. those same journos that pushed for this, will only push harder now that they've been given ground.
just ignore 'journalists'. if they get even madder, its just free press. the actual customers will only be more attracted to the game for standing up to those fools.
