Taking a request from the comments once again, here's a video about the character design of the robots of Overwatch.

Orisa is a girl and Zenyatta is a boy... but... why? They're robots, non-organic machines. What is it about their designs and conceptions that make us read them as having gender at all? Let's talk about coding and character design, and what makes us think human about our robots.
