I don't have much of an argument to bother putting forward towards Peppermint and Snow Sugar because I don't see a problem with the pronouns being REMOVED, I just think it's curious they did it and chopped up a bit of the description. If you compare the original English description with the current one, they did just delete out a sentence for not much reason, which I would definitely consider butchering a bit. There was also a statement made by a Korean dev that Snow Sugar is male, which while you can certainly say was just an employee giving a statement out of nowhere without other input, is a pretty interesting statement to make, all things considered...But again, they're not a big issue to me. Honestly. I just would prefer to leave them unspecified since that is apparently what devsis also wants to do.

About Roguefort though...yes, Roguefort is addressed with male terms in every language. In KR they use "백작" (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%EB%B0%B1%EC%9E%91) and "그" (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%EA%B7%B8). Admittedly the latter of these two can certainly be used neutrally but coupled with the other term raises questions. In Chinese the same masculine term "伯爵" (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E4%BC%AF%E7%88%B5) shows up. Of course, I would tend to err on possibly disregarding Chinese gendering anyway because it does actively mistranslate some genders in a sexist way, but the fact it seems to be using terms similar to Korean in this case is interesting.

I am aware that the others were referred to as such, however the general argument for this topic comes that ENG translations don't have to match up to KR, which it kind of does MOST of the time, and I am understanding of? I feel like it's moreso that other people frequently don't understand that when addressing the topic. And also that unspecified isn't me saying that the characters will never be gendered (or ever will, alternatively). In reality though I don't really find Devsis to be TOO horrid with this, it's really the fandom that tends to put this off a deep end a bit. My problems with Devsis more lie with (currently) things such as the Cookiedroid disaster. But yes. Um, yeah, I think that's about it? I feel like we're actually kind of mostly on the same side of this debate.
