So in A Herbivorous Dragon of 5000 Years Gets Unfairly Villainized season 2, the Crunchy English subs make it seem like King Vanessa being a girl is a reveal in ep4, because in ep2, she's referred to as "he".

This is odd since nobody acts like it's a reveal, & her name is "Vanessa". So I looked further b/c Chinese has no spoken gendered pronoun (there is "he" & "she" in text but in speech, it's the same word). The Bilibili Chinese subs say "she" (她), so do their English subs. It's only Crunchy that made the assumption the King is a boy.

I suspect the CR translator was working from just the raw, & without text they had to make an assumption, & they heard "king" & saw somebody who could be a feminine boy & assumed male.
