@davevolek@mastodon.social @Kingu@sakurajima.moe why are you clocking Clippy as male (just curious?) or are you using the generic masculine here?

SPA (standard patriarchal assumption) that androgynous entities get the male gender.

@davevolek@mastodon.social @Kingu@sakurajima.moe but was it more a mental assumption (you saw clippy and considered it male on some level) or more a linguistic one (you referred to it as male)?
