Capcom had a lot of internal restructuring that lead to them being super risk-averse when it came to making games. Around SF4's release, Capcom set a new standard that every game franchise had to break 1 million sales otherwise it would be considered a failure. This is why Mega Man and everything that wasn't Monster Hunter or Street Fighter died in the early 2010s.
The reason why we got five billion Street Fighter 4 rereleases and nothing but Monster Hunter games and spinoffs during the 2010s was because MH and SF were the only two games Capcom felt confident enough in being able to meet that standard. Capcom's humanity fully died when 2010 hit.
It's only in the localization, but troons will run with the "they/them" shit regardless. None of the troons celebrating play Strive anyway. At most someone like Sonicfox is going to try to pick up the character, get his shit pushed in, and then quit.
I never really got the grammatical logic for a singular "they", he and she use "is", they uses "are", which is plural.
I'll never get why the Japanese way of drawing an "androgynous" character is to draw a girl, remove the tits, and call it a guy.
