Deidaku Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 last topic of the day I swear X) No this isn't about gender swapping. There most of the time always as much female frames as male frames. BUT what if the final amount of frames is uneven ? So here's the actual question : what would you think of a genderless warframe . Nor male nor female... completely genderless and androgynous? I think it would be fun....you don't see many genderless characters in video games ; and it would be a fun :) What do you guys think? Comment below let me know!

Senketsu_ Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 (edited) um genders are kind of importent if they dont have a gender their pretty much blobs of nothing. gender is what helps give character to things.

8bit_Ghost Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 I don't see the issue with that, but since Tenno are most likely a breed of human, it may be unlikely. Aesthetically, it's interesting. Lore-wise, not very possible... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

immolator1001 Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 I think they should keep he genders equal. As for androgenous Zephyr is probably the closest we'll get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uh gender is male or female (more appropriately sex is that, gender is a bit complicated). You can be a character without any defined gender or sex, just look at every robotic character in any video game ever that isn't like EDI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aesthetically, it's interesting. Lore-wise, not very possible... Maybe they're human...but heavly modified humans...I don't think we should be suprised to see genderless mutant individuals. And also how do we know they still reproduce naturally like we do? Maybe they are also like some clones bu unlike the grineer they didn't fail miserably Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to say it and what I'm going to say is that just because Zephyr has something dangling between her legs it doesn't mean there's a penis encased in it.

SolidSp33d Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Genderless characters in games are usually pretty alien or something. An androgynous frame would be hilarious and make a friend of mine really happy. But I genderless? Not really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SolidSp33d Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Lotus says to you (the Tenno) that you've mastered warframes. That means there is 1 person cross-dresing in those suits. Or she was specking to ALL of us as a whole, you know, considering everyone was getting free stuff and it's a mass message. One person couldn't cross dress in a suit and magically change their entire physique. Even just from a male frame to a male frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shut Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 I'm going to say it and what I'm going to say is that just because Zephyr has something dangling between her legs it doesn't mean there's a penis encased in it. I think he's referring more to the fact that you can't tell from first glance that Zephyr's a woman like you can with Mag and such. Half of the player base actually thought Zephyr was a guy when the model was first revealed. He wasn't calling her a hermaphrodite. XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XD You'd be surprised by he amount of codpiece jokes people use to justify their bi-sex vision of her. All we know is that DE says that Zephyr is a she. It is true that Zephyr was first envisioned as male, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ValhaHazred Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 (edited) There is a difference between Sex and Gender. Sex is physical (chromosomes) and Gender is mental (masculine, feminine, various non-binary genders) I don't think the Tenno have any sexual characteristics outside of armour styling anymore. They are too warped and modified for it to really apply to them. Gender of course is whatever the individual Tenno feels they are. A feminine Tenno might wear femmeframes whenever possible, a gender*#()# Teeno might deliberately mix it up daily and a gendergrey Tenno just wouldn't care. Edit: Apparently "qu**r" is a naughty word by the forums reckoning. It's OK forum, I am queer. I can say it :P Edited March 27, 2014 by ValhaHazred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ourobor Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 (edited) Just to be clear, "sex" is the word you mean, not gender. Gender is what you yourself identify with, sex is what your body physically is.I like androgynous frames though. I love Zephyr because she's wicked androgynous.Edit: There is a difference between Sex and Gender.

The ignorance in this single post..... -sigh- I think this ideas brilliant. People are so afaid of gender issue these days, and need to wake up. Im curious to see how an Asexual frame would be modled tho. Not to mention what powers it would have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dzxbeast Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 tenno is an armour - when some boses talk to you, they say "... hiding behind that trinity(or whatever) warframe..." , so it doesnt matter what gender/sex warframe is as long as we dont see the ones that are inside / in control Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as we know, the tenno are not even human anymore. Im sorry bt if you look in a cryopod and see that rock tenno face with no eyes... If they are massivly technocyte corrupt humans, whats to say the virus didnt make them asexual? As Valha stated, when a new tenno is born, they choose for themselves what "gender" they identify with.

Motakshi Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 (edited) Im curious to see how an Asexual frame would be modled tho. Not to mention what powers it would have. I don't think it's feasible (or right) to base a frame around a sexuality/gender orientation. I'd rather not shoehorn things in just for the sake of being politically correct. If it's there, it should be simply a side facet to their character and not the focal point. Edited March 27, 2014 by Motakshi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
