    Super weird, because after 20 some odd hours in, I can’t remember pronouns even coming up outside the creation screen.

      It comes up every so often in battle. You will hear the enemies, both on a planet and in space yell something to the effect of “someone stop him/her/them”. It is so quick you can easily miss it.

      Really the outrage is probably nothing more than click bait. Like a video made the rounds shortly after it came out of some guy yelling for 2-3 minutes about pronouns.
