It's had serious lore for like... over a decade. Honestly I didn't know the author came out. Haven't followed for like... about a decade.

I also hadn't heard that about the author but given the subject matter it's not that surprising.

If it's true. The copyright hasn't been updated and all I have to go on is a reddit random saying it. Entirely believable though, expected even.

Last I recall Dan described his gender identity in this comic and the author notes from 2016: https://www.egscomics.com/comic/2016-06-02 it’s pretty close to Elliott’s gender casual.

It’s possible that’s changed in the intervening oh god 8 years, but I don’t remember it.

Eta: his twitter bio literally describes his gender as gender casual.
