Listen, I know we have these votes about every three months, but I still believe the gender rules we currently have are very confusing. Why do zombies use pronouns but not plants? I mean, there are obviously multiple of each zombie, and even though some zombies like Ladder Zombie do have obvious gender characteristics, if you're referring to fifteen dudes all drinking soda, you still say "They're drinking soda," not "He's drinking soda."
Of course, in the Almanac and whatnot, all plants and zombies are treated as characters. This also makes sense in the argument that on pages for plants and zombies, we should be referring to them with gender pronouns.
In further notes, sometimes we jump to conclusion without much evidence. Say Nurse Gargantuar, for instance. Literally no text in the game explicitly states Nurse Gargantuar is male, and yet we use "he" pronouns to refer to it.
I know that this thing might be scattershot, but what I'm saying is there's so many twists and turns and inconsistencies with the gender rules on this wiki that we need another vote to sort this out. Are all plants and zombies characters? Or are they multiple entities that should be referred to with gender neutral or no pronouns?
