As I’ve said before, it is completely untrue that Android is for Males thanks to the context it has been used for for literally hundreds of years. So you have “Android” which has no specific gender and you have gynoid which has a specific gender. It’s like if i say “Hey, can you hand me a Kleenex?” and your response was “No, because Kleenex is a brand name that makes facial tissues, what you want is a facial tissue. I can’t hand you a name!”. So my response to the whole thing is similar- “Yes I know what a Gynoid is, I don’t like the term, everyone knows what an android is and it’s not wrong to call them that!” I do not accept “gynoid” as the “accepted term” to describe my androids because in the same way that history and context proves android is used for both sexes, Gynoid is 1 – not nearly as cool sounding as android! and 2 – Often used to refer to “sex bots” which undermines the characters as individuals who can be whatever they want and not just be what the word limits them to.

Now, if in the future all the kids are talking about how cool Gynoids are and how it’s such a cool word and it isn’t stigmatized with all the cyberpunk and scifi fembots made to service peoples sexual fantasies- then maybe Gynoid will be appropriate – but I am sick of people telling me I should be calling them Gynoids when it doesnt make sense, it’s not a good name, It’s not well known as a term at all for most readers leading to unnecessary confusion, those who do look it up then comment everywhere with a female robot and tell them they need to use the term Gynoid now, and it is stigmatized. The Cons are overwhelming for such a pointless distinction.

I get really tired of people saying its wrong to call a female android an android, when every definition of android is without gender bias in the same way that I can call everyone “man” or “dude” or “guys”. I’m not being insensitive to gender, if someone prefers for me to call them something else I will try but i dont use those terms with a gender meaning. Man in our language is synonymous with human, dude is just a familiar way to refer to someone, and guys is an all inclusive term to refer to a group regardless of their genders. I’ve had far more people complain about my use of “y’all” than calling a bunch of female people and one male – “Guys”.

I’m not angry or anything, so please don’t feel like I’m attacking you, Like i said before- every time this comes up- this is what I have to go through. I’m considering seeing if I can just auto-spam filter the term Gynoid so if anyone says it- their comment just never goes live and I can ignore it. People think they are educating me, but instead they just keep giving me the same wrong information over and over telling me to change what’s not wrong. Besides… What if there is a male android in Shiden’s army? Doesn’t seem possible right? But they’ve been shown to modify themselves before! New eyes, different systems, some even swap bodies. No one will ever know though because 1- I don’t do full nudity, and 2 – there’s no situation someones sex needs to be physically shown. Any jokes based on sex reveal is usually in pretty poor taste or like no one would care. If an android in Yosh were to correct Phil saying “Actually im a guy” Phil wouldnt freak out and start coughing and question his manhood- he would just be like “ok, cool.” I don’t think I have any characters that would be insensitive enough to even try to turn that into a joke. Even Blue…
