Today I was playing the game with my two good friends... Mr. V and Mr. J. Our conversation went like this;Me: What does Bloodhound's ultimate do for him when he is in "beastmode"?Mr. J: Bloodhound is a woman.Me: What?Mr. V: No. Bloodhound is non-binary.Me: What?Mr. J: oh for **** sake...Mr. V: It means they don't identify as male or female...Mr. J: I think the old fart knows what non-binary means! It is a 3D model in a video game...Mr. V: All I am saying is you have to say they, them, or their when...Me: oh will you two knock it off! I wanted to know what THEY can do!After this conversation, I looked it up and found a female voice actress Allegra Clark does Bloodhound's voice over.Here is Bloodhound without the mask...That blew my doors off.

@Xubunnytwo yeah we use gender on a daily basis for like everything. It's just the way it is, in fact, I really thought nothing of it until I came across this they/them thing in english and whatever else in between.

This is the video where BH was revealed to be non-binary. The amount of talent in the cast is incredible. My favorite VAs are for Caustic, Gibby and of course Lifeline.

@BaronKreight I admit I am not the most politically correct person you will meet, but I respect people. I just get a tad bit irate when I walk up to a group of woman I know and ask, "Hey, what are you guys doing here?" and at least one of them look at me and say, "We are not guys, we are ladies."... could have fooled me. Everyone is guys to me, at my advanced age, I am well beyond dating. But if I was 30 years younger, Miss Clark is a real looker.

you know that Ace Ventura movie about searching for the missing dolphin? The antagonist was transgender. They had a kiss and when Ace found out about the fact he was very upset to say the least. I bet this movie is banned in the USA nowadays.

Yeah this. To me Bloodhound will be always female since in the italian version she clearly identified as such. Now I feel like something has changed in order to fit with this non-binary thing and they still failed at it.
You remember the "I am the hunter the Gods have sent" voiceline?
In italian it used to be "Sono la cacciatrice mandata dagli dei" which clearly implied Bloodhound is female.
Now it has changed to "Gli dei mi hanno mandato per questa caccia"
..... which now implies he is male. And despite this, some of the background banners and poses still refer to BH as a female.
God this is so confusing, I hate it. I wish they would have left it as it was before. She was just fine. Gender is literally baked into everything we say in our language anyway so it's no use.

This is the rock on which we will always founder.

@BaronKreight Ace Ventura is still shown on cable TV here in the states, depending on the channel, they will cut the reveal scene.
@AcidicSoda44031 I speak several languages and yes, French, Spanish, etc. have feminine and masculine attachments to even inanimate objects. Here in the states we call ships and vehicles "she". While most of the time we default to the masculine for the generic stuff. It is not meant to be a slight against anyone, it was how the language developed and continues to change. Here in the north we tend to say "You guys" and some will mispronounce it as "use guys", in the south people will say, "You all" and mash it together as "Yawl". Look at that the south is more PC than I am! 🙂
@Cheese9Man thanks for the video, that was awesome to see the faces behind these character's voices. 👍

@Cheese9Man Does no one remember Bloodhound's skin from the S6 BP? I'm assuming that Vanna is their real name. But changed it to BH

“Vinna” is in Bloodhound’s language which means “winner/win”. He also has a line which says “If the gods will it, we vinna.”
That skin is still better than the $160 mythic skin. Lol.
