If it doesn't fit anywhere else, it belongs here. Also, come here if you just need to get hammered.

Remove all lingering references to Lucy

I'm perfecrly fine that the game has cannibalism, mass murder, human sacrifices, defiling of corpses, animating the dead, arson, summoning demons into our world, pillaging, zealotry, hypocrisy, theft, partial nudity and much, much more!
You know, for kids!

But can't have a diety with a non-ambiguous gender identity. Now that is just plain wrong!

Re: Remove all lingering references to Lucy

Well, that's in keeping with the other gods, isn't it? Lets the player project what kind of flavor they want onto them. Not really about what's wrong or immoral but rather letting the player's imagination be a little more free, and making the dieties more mysterious.

Re: Remove all lingering references to Lucy

Lugonu never had any gender identity.

Threads like this is what you get if you make working titles public. (To me, the abyssical god is like the fallen god of Crawl, so I nicknamed her Lucy after the fallen arch angel.)

Re: Remove all lingering references to Lucy

The name "Lucy" and the use of female pronouns should not be taken as evidence that the god has a female gender identity, you shitlords.

Re: Remove all lingering references to Lucy

In the context of gods, what's a gender? Do the gods have x and y chromosomes or what?

It's a social construct. Just like in real life!

Re: Remove all lingering references to Lucy

One would assume that Lugonu's gender and sex would be permanently in flux. He/she/it/they probably approve(s) of some of those strange mushrooms that exist with more than 28000 sexes. If that's not chaotic, then few things are.

Re: Remove all lingering references to Lucy

No, Gods were shaped in the imagine of man, our ideas, and nature. So they will have a gender or be a tree hugging hippy.

Gods don't have genders, so why make up female names if the name is genderless anyway?

Re: Remove all lingering references to Lucy

Does the lore actually say if they're genderless or not?

edit: grammar

When you pray to a god they never use gendered pronouns

Re: Remove all lingering references to Lucy

if anything in the game refers to a god using a non-neuter gender, that's a bug.

for the record, the comment duvessa mentioned is one i added somewhat over a year ago, iirc because i was too lazy to type out 'lugonu'. i have no problem with removing it. patches welcome!

The lore doesn't say anything about the gods' genders at all
that is intentional
