Toad, Toadette, and Gender

But I think what I can say is that Toadette and Toad (Following up with a direct statement regarding the two specifically, basically compliments what I mentioned above) are not siblings — perhaps it would be more accurate to say they are adventure pals. And that’s certainly true here [in Captain Toad].”

Just pointing out some key portions of this. It honestly sounds like it just wasn't important enough to worry about gender, not some kind of statement to the world. This whole thing feels way over-analyzed. Honestly, if it said up front and directly that the entire Toad species is genderless now, I would accept it, really. I just feel like everyone is getting their hopes a bit too high for something that still wasn't necessarily confirmed in that short interview.

Basically sounds to me like he's playing it safe with a potentially dangerous question, which I can understand completely.

"these" is still pretty vague (the original japanese would help)
but yeah. toad and toadette are confirmed genderless.

toads in general might or might not be. ok. i will admit that.

but genderless toad and toadette is a positive statement coming from "family friendly nintendo"
