The Silent is Female

[Jack_Daniels84]

A bit of education for the ones who clicked Embark too quickly , A deadly HUNTRESS from the foglands.

Edit:
Definition of huntress
: a woman who hunts game; also : a female animal that hunts prey

Maybe it's a male preferring a feminine title? We shouldn't assume.

I immediately thought Chosen was a woman. IDK why. Which is probably why I thought Awakened was a female. Is there any official word on these 2?

I added the definition of huntress, also if it was a male using a female title it would be a Transgender Huntress, but seeing as the developers didn't add those words in, we can assume that the use of huntress can only mean female.

Or maybe it was a sarcastic response to a thread about a fairly obvious (and completely pointless) topic. Nah, of course it was 100 % serious, just like everything else on the internet.

Yes, forums are like bridges, a troll is to be expected

Actually there are many players who assume that the Silent is male, it's called Ambivalent Sexism.

I can't say for sure since I'm not fluent in any of the currently supported languages except English, but it's entirely possible that some languages don't utilize the feminine term "huntress". Perhaps their word for "hunter" serves as both hunters and huntresses, and seeing as male hunters are the more common entity, they assume she's male.

The term huntress has been around since ancient greece, such as Artemis, goddess of the moon, a virgin and a huntress. I can understand your logic with the term hunter being not associated with a gender, originally the term man is associated with all humankind not specifically a gender either. but actually because most civilisations have had prodominantly male authority or male led organisations or religions, it is because males have been seen in the dominant role that when the opportunity of what gender something is when you cant know from first glance it is often decided to be male, for example most people will ask 'what is his name?' when they see a dog with it's owner. This is Ambivalent Sexism. for more info I have a link, if your not interested you dont have to look.

What does it matter whether its he or she? I certainly don't give a damn, but lorewise The Silent is female regardless what anyone else says

[mattconnellan]

Thank you for enriching our lives with your wholly necessary and not-at-all shoehorned in knowledge bombs.

Meanwhile, I'm playing a fun card game. What are you guys up to?

[Nibbles]

All people saying, "What does it matter?"

Lore and story are just as much a part of a game as the actual gameplay.

If someone unintentionally referred to Ironclad as "she", I'm sure they'd be corrected.

Zero ♥♥♥♥♥ given, thanks.

Huh, that's a good point. I'd love to see a case study on that, I think you may be right.
