I'm not fluent, but from my knowledge, it's a choice between a gendered pronoun or something that translates to "it". I guess they found that dehumanizing. Is there a way you are suggesting they write a non binary character in chinese?

It's a language thing more of a valorant thing Not all languages treat gender the same In the Spanish and English versions, they're non binary, but in the French version they're referred to as both male and female

Understood They had translate it to 'young girl' not they or them.

"They" translated in most other languages is usually used exclusively for a group of people, so gender neutral looks way different in different languages.

Just depends on the language. In English, its more appropriate to use they/them.

Non binary speech does exist in Spanish and French but more people will fight you.
