Annotation:

The word "fursona" is a portmanteau of "furry" and "persona". It refers to the avatar that a member of the furry fandom adopts to represent themselves.

ネオンは、女?男? Which is Neon a vixen or a male fox?

Technically it's up to the fursona's creator
So males in real life could have female fursonas, and vice versa or non-binary
After all it's their art, their creation, and how they want to express themselves

For this sentence, Neon is an otoko

> For this sentence, Neon is an otoko.

Are you sure it couldn't be a female?

I mentioned that it could. Since I already translated this sentence as "male fox" in Spanish (which I released) and as this is my rendition of Tom, I'm making Neon male.
If you're asking because Neon isn't a particularly manly name, that's also an artistic decision

Remember that translators shouldn't be influenced by translations into the other languages.

They only need to make sure that their translations match the language that is being translated. That's why indirect translations do not always match.

Write a good translation of the sentence that you are translating. Don't let translations into other languages mislead you.

Your translation should be a good translation into your language. Translations into other languages may introduce interpretations that are not valid in your language.

I keep forgetting about that rule, I feel stupid now

You're right, it could be either one

@small_snow
Add both versions in お願いしまーす
I added a female version in Spanish
