Talk:Foo Fighters (Stand)/@comment-146.199.191.16-20150515221845

Foo Fighters uses a Japanese pronoun used mostly by women - 'atashi'. The only times you'd hear a man or an agender being using 'atashi' is in fictional media, and even then, it's mostly to stereotype them as a homosexual and/or crossdressing 'okama' character archetype.

On the other hand, Foo Fighters also uses a Japanese pronoun that appears to be used by men and women in equal measure (although young men in Japan typically don't use it in informal situations so as to not sound stuffy or effeminate, favouring pronouns like 'boku' or 'ore').

So, while it's correct to refer to F.F. as a 'she', it's also correct to refer to her non-binarily as 'they' or 'it', since F.F. is basically a collection of plankton given humanoid form through a Stand. The Japanese language generally doesn't tend to explicitly use personal pronouns as much as the English language, though; it's more context-based and inferential.

To briefly go off-topic for an example, this is why the Japanese manual kept Samus Aran's gender as a surprise (neither explicitly labelling her as male or female), but the Western/American manual defaulted to 'he' and essentially contradicts the Japanese manual by conning a generation of young gamers into believing Samus Aran was a man when it should've only been definitively confirmed within the game's faster endings in either version.
