Hum ?
I just took a look in the translation center at all the tutorial texts and I might have missed some as there are more than 300 but it's all "You" or "We".
The only gendered text i found was not specific to the tutorial but it's true that there is a lot (which is not unusual, specially in the log)
Log:
${player_name} reshuffles his discard cards
${player_name} moves his herder along the trail
${player_name} places his herder
${player_name} picks ${cardType} from his deck
${player_name} uses ${n} certificate(s) to improve his breeding value
Other (status bar when other players are playing etc...)
${player_name} replenishes his hand
${actplayer} must move his herder 1 step
${actplayer} must move his herder at max ${n} steps
${actplayer} must discard a card from his hand
${actplayer} picks a card from his deck
I think this is a case of reverse translation problem.
There is never a he or him, only "his".
The dev is French, in French the choice of the possessive pronoun is based on the gender of the possessed object/person so none of the sentences above are player gendered in French
Example:
${player_name} places his herder --> ${player_name} place son éleveur
"Son" because "éleveur" is male, nothing to do with the gender of the player.
I'll suggest some english text changes when I have the time.
But anway, you shouldn't penalize the tutorial for that, it's completely unrelated.
