Gender


Circle

Recommended Posts

Good evening.According to Wikipedia, male "refers to the biological gender of an organism..." Female "is the gender of an organism...".As far as I know, the races in the BIonicle universe are not capable of reproducing. Despite that fact, some characters(Turaga Nokama, for example) are known to be female and others(Toa Onua) are known to be male.Dilemma. I think it means that there is no male/female in BIonicle.Thoughts/ideas/coments?

Let's not get that detailed about human reproduction, okay? This is a family-friendly site. :) --bones

Beings from the Matoran Universe operate on what we might call "mental" gender. That is, they "feel" male or female, and have the voices and somewhat the builds to match. Apart from the fact that they are actually alive and act on their gender, this works the same way we humans build "male" and "female" robots: They have simply been made to be that way by their creators; in this case the Great Beings.Spherus Magna inhabitants are, as Erebus says, mostly biological and do reproduce in "the natural way", and so they have genders. The Great Beings based their bio-mechs on both them and themselves, so it stands to reason that they would feel inclined to include some form of gender roles (especially as it has been shown that they at least thought they needed different genders for some elements).

The difference between male and female in BIONICLE is simply psychological. There is no big difference, except that the female character's armour tends to be slightly different in the films.There is male/female, just not male/female as we know it.- Vorex

Thanks for the answers, folks. And in the future, let's remember to keep specifics of human reproduction off of BZPower, okay? ;)Question answered, topic closed.
