I don't think robots have pronouns or genders or anything like that right ? It's a machine. Seems a bit silly to give it pronouns. Though this change is fairly minor and wouldn't impact the game at all so. Just my two cents .
I feel that goes a bit deeper. Many people have a noun they prefer to be called IRL, this would like that in game, and their characters have identities in game for rp, thus they would wish to adhere to this.
This feels sort of akin to saying 'why have any pronouns' Saying they're just machines further sees a bit reductive; they are still players and people still control them outside of the game.
In response to frank I think this would be akin to mindhacking someone to force them wear the opposite sex's clothing and behave as a member. IE it'd be a sorta awful thing to do that someone would likely get in trouble for cause that doesn't sound like an action coming from a good place.
