* In ''Splatoon 3: Side Order'', Acht (also known as their stage name Dedf1sh) is an Octoling DJ who makes their physical debut in the DLC, and has their pronouns confirmed to be [[they/them]]. Previously, the pronouns used for them in English promotional material for ''Splatoon 2: Octo Expansion'' were she/her, where they in-universe created the music for the Stations, but they are not mentioned in game. The [https://splatoonwiki.org/wiki/Inkipedia:Twitter_archive/2023/September#1705206569498017804 promotional] and in-game material for ''Splatoon 3: Side Order'' uses exclusively they/them. Marina, who has known Acht since their schooldays, refers to them as they/them automatically, implying that their previous pronouns were retconned. In the Japanese version of ''Splatoon 3: Side Order'', they use the personal pronoun ボク, which is generally considered a masculine pronoun. | |||

* The Asari species in ''Mass Effect'' are an alien race that all appear feminine and use she/her pronouns. However, Liara T'Soni of the Asari says that the species is "mono-gendered", and "male and female have no real meaning for us." Liara also says that she is "not precisely a woman." Despite this, the Codex describes the Asari as an all-female race. | * The Asari species in ''Mass Effect'' are an alien race that all appear feminine and use she/her pronouns.
