@coriander @Lady same

@aescling @coriander Dark Samus is a Metroid (specifically: the Metroid Prime [combined with Phaazon and Samus’s DNA]) and it's unclear whether Metroids have a gender (not all Metroids can develop to queens, but it’s not clear that this is a sex distinction as we would conventionally think of it)

official media typically uses “it” to refer to the Metroid Prime but “she” to refer to Dark Samus, which leaves open the question as to whether Dark Samus has developed a gender identity or sexed aspects as a result of her adopting the form of/some DNA from Samus

@Lady @aescling Oh damn that is a good gender controversy
