Just now, I hit my 1000th message on Dakka, and that means my user ranking rolled over to the next ranking. The issue is that the ranking used the word "his"; I'm not comfortable with such specifically masculine language. I'm aware that the ranking is referencing the model, which is a man, but would it be possible to change this (and any other unnecessary cases of being gendered), to something else? I understand that there are plenty of cases where something being gendered is unavoidable (within GSC, the Patriarch, or outside, space marines/SOB), but for cases beyond that, wouldn't it be better to use more gender-neutral language?

FWIW I think it's worth looking at but I think only Legoburner and Yakface have that access.
