"The child was out of their depth." -"the child" is the subject of the sentence, making "their" more natural to use.

"So the heir to Fairfax Industries has graced us with their presence" -same here, "heir" is the subject of the sentence.

"I don't even wanna know what they got in that case." -he/she wouldnt work here, even a gendered person would have they used to make the sentence flow better

Ok, first example makes sense in the context of the newspaper, though it could be argued that it uses a gender neutral descriptor for a reason. Examples 2-4 could have used gendered pronouns just as well. Same for 5-6, I can't speak specifically on Japanese grammar but Yamato does use gendered pronouns when speaking of other characters (and I mean specifically in the official subtitles in the game files, which - though I can't say I'm familiar with Valve's writing process - I can only presume are the lines as originally written in English). --[[User:Gammaton32|Gammaton32]] ([[User talk:Gammaton32|talk]]) 20:26, 31 August 2026 (UTC)
