Poll: ED-E's Gender

[natster43]

I pronounced it Eddie. But just called it it.

 

[_Cake_]

IT'S A ROBOT O_O with a male name, but no gender. Wow for once I don't feel like the creepy one.

 

[DudeistBelieve]

I too had taken already to calling it E-de instead of Ed-e. So female, yeah.

 

[War Penguin]

I always called ED-E a him, but pronounced "his" name like EDI from Mass Effect 2. I got myself so confused when I started using "him."

The only reason someone would assign gender to a robot is if they spoke a language that required it or if they needed to know whether or not to wank off to said robot. There are absolutely no other reasons for it.

Unless it's painfully obvious like with a robot that actually looks like a girl, there shouldn't be an implied sex to it.

lets see... you are trying to personify a floating hunk of metal that communicates in beeps and boops...

i guess i've always refered to ED-E as either a He or an It

ya..
now i perfectly understand assigning a gender to a robot if it atleast resembled humans (looks kinda human-shaped, talks, etc) but this is just a flying ball that "beeps" and "boops" occasionally

I generally refer to ED-E as a "her," mainly because of the way I choose to pronounce her name (ee-dee), which just sounds feminine to me. I'm not sure why I chose to pronounce it that way, though. I guess it just sounded better to me than calling the adorable flying robot companion something as dull as "Eddie."

 

[Magnesium360]

I said "it", because it's a robot and does not have a gender. Frankly i'm surprised more people said "her" than "him" though. Their name's ED-E, obviously intended to sound like Eddy, which is usually a male name.

 

[loc978]

Pack Mule, so... it leaning toward him.
...also, the song reference is to a male named Eddie, so... yeah. ED-E is a eunuch.

 

[camokkid]

It's pronounced as EDDIE, not like how EDE is pronounced in ME2.

 

[Kortney]

ED-E clearly is pronounced "Eddie".

So I call him a "he".

 

[Krylock]

Should be better off as "it" that way no arguments are started over it.
