I find it a little (misleading?) to call Firecracker's JP pronouns (or any pronoun in JP, for that matter) "male" since first person pronouns in JP are largely situational and don't always reflect the person's gender. For example: 'Watashi' can come across as feminine in informal situations, but it's the default pronoun in formal situations regardless of gender. 'Boku' (which is the one I've seen Firecracker use from captures, please correct me if I'm wrong) is a pronoun used mostly by little kids (or particularly tomboy-ish girls), which would make it more an indicator of Firecracker's age rather than their gender.

I'm not trying to claim any authority on the matter or force the admins to change anything, you may take this as you wish, but I think it's important to remember that we, as non-native JP speakers, should be a little more mindful of how our ideas of gender affect our perception of language.
