acrid literally unplayable

Incorrect, acrid is described as a ‘he’ in ror2. It’s definitely canon that acrid’s male at this point

#

least useless rorr feedback

#

We should be thankful that he is a considered a male who knows what might have happened if it was the oppositehappiesttroll

#

they're going to KILL u ! !

zealous tulip

Damn, I wish people were as concerned with interstellar desk plant still being shit as much as this person is concerned with pronoun consistency of a fictional animal.

#

When will they buff it already, it's been 10 years and it's still the worst red item

#

What? There’s no other subject mentioned in the log for the ‘he’ to be referring to, excluding the few lines at the end that refer to the thing that broke him out (commonly theorized to be void fiend).
Also, they only call him an ‘it’ when they’re trying to highlight the fact that he’s a genetic monstrosity.

#

find something else to be upset about, acrid isn't even real

#

get upset about desk plant or something like someone else said

olive kestrel
#

i honestly agree

#

"it" is better

#

fuck the haters youre real for this one bestie

#

give acrid its pronoins hopoo game

#

I always liked describing acrid as "it" because it helps accentuate Acrids idea of being a very foreign, alien, entity & force and I think that concept is pretty cool. 🙂

#

Well, despite the thematic ideas, they’d have to retcon ror2, something they can no longer do

outer radish
#

oh yeah forgor

#

ror discord try not to bully and gatekeep feedback challenge (impossible)

#

its a valid feedback post

#

its just a consistency thing for lore ppls, so quick to make it smth political

#

the log explicitly doesn't mention any surrounding people, and acrid is the one who was in the cell, and the log mentions "in his juice-gem" state, which can only apply to the thing in the cell

outer radish
#

yeah it does say "But he knew – that the strange crustaceans that scrambled his atoms and imprisoned him here, in a place unknown – were panicking. Something had gone wrong, in a world where variables were not allowed."

Acrid is He/It

#

Thats their pronouns

#

No different than He/They or anything like that

#

Idk why this is an issue

#

Either way of reading it works. Whether its the POV of Acrid in the cells or if its someone else.

#

As long as the general gist of “Hey, shit got fucked up due to some guy in the void”

#

Its all good and fine

I don’t think that the endings simply ignore the identity of the survivors for thematic purposes, as they are reflective of the gender identity for the rest of the cast including MULT who is an “it”

zealous tulip
#

Fair enough, both can be valid
To be honest I just thought it was simpler to assume acrid has one set of pronouns for convenience’s sake

Feedback like this makes me glad hopoo sold the IP

olive kestrel
#

acrid is it

#

it is cooler

#

it makes acrid special

#

differentiates it from the rest of the cast

olive kestrel
#

acrid being called it makes thematic sense as the only person to refer to a rid is its captors, showing that gis only name is related to hs past as an animal testing victim

#

if acrid's ending quote was "...and so he left, wanting to be left alone." it would hit no where near as hard

#

plenty of people will alternate between calling an animal "it" and "he"/"she", this is kind of just that

This is not "the first time in the Risk of Rain series" where this has happened, because THIS GAME IS A REMAKE OF ACRID'S FIRST APPEARANCE! HE HAS ALWAYS BEEN MALE!

olive kestrel
#

it has always been male

#

it it just cooler :)

#

Gamers when a character has multiple pronounce (oh my goodness gracious)
