* ''AudioPlay/BigFinishDoctorWho'': A telepath mentions that he isn't sure which pronouns he should be using when referring to the Doctor.
--->'''Kelsa''': It's hard enough trying to use your language to describe non-linear temporal events. I could do without one of the participants being of indeterminate gender.

** Nintendo has trouble whether they should refer to [[Characters/SuperMarioBrosAssortedNasties Birdo]] --whose gender has been portrayed inconsistently-- as male or female at times, so they've used "Birdo" as a pronoun at least once.

Added DiffLines:

* In ''VideoGame/MortalKombat1'', a pre-fight intro between Ermac and Johnny Cage has Johnny confused about what to refer to Ermac as. Ermac, being a [[IAmLegion collection of thousands of souls in one body]], is unaware of Earthrealm's debate of pronouns.
-->'''Johnny Cage:''' He/Him? They/Them? What're your pronouns?\\
'''Ermac:''': We do not understand.

Added DiffLines:

* ''WebVideo/DragonBallZAbridged'': Discussed. Gotenks is the fusion of Goten and Trunks, and Videl wonders whether to use they/them or he/him. Krillin says he/him because neither boy was nonbinary, and Piccolo says they/them because they're literally two people. Gotenks doesn't care.

** Kurenai Tsubasa's arc ended with the reveal that he was a crossdressing boy, which he and Ukyo both knew and were not attempting to hide. The Viz dub has Tsubasa claim to be a girl, but jumps through verbal hoops to have neither Ukyo nor anyone else talking to her reference Tsubasa's gender. The English manga keeps Ukyo from saying Tsubasa's gender, but Akane does when talking to her, [[DubInducedPlotHole yet Ukyo is still surprised Akane didn't know Tsubasa was male]]. The English subtitles make even less of an effort, having Ukyo repeatedly her Tsubasa "she".

Spelling/grammar fix(es)


* In ''VideoGame/Persona4'', [[spoiler: Naoto]]'s social link runs into a translation problem for this reason. In the original Japanese, once you leveled up her social link far enough, you got a scene where [[spoiler: she asks if you prefer her using "boku" or "atashi" to refer to herself]]. In the English version, the scene is changed to being about the pitch of her voice.
