iirc Death is pretty much the same Death from Discworld (whom I think is male), Famine is also male while War is female. Those are just how they represent as human-looking figures because they're not human. Pollution (who took over from Plague and therefore the new kid) chose to present themselves as nonbinary. That's all there is to it.

Not to speak of the fact that angels (and therefore demons) don't have gender to begin with: angels are sexless unless they really want to make an effort. That makes the two main leads Aziraphale and Crowley agender, even if they look male and use male pronouns when the story started.

What I'm saying is, there might be pain coming from the person who sent Gaiman that ask but to ask 'why make Pollution agender?' in a novel that's basically full of agenders who just present themselves as part of the gender binary kinda makes me think they didn't read the novel before reacting to Pollution's casting.

I can see how people might wind up talking past each other due to different understandings of what "agender" implies, but I figure anyone who read the book would get what Gaiman is trying to say, even if that does not match their definition of the term. Pollution doesn't have any gender.

Exactly. It sounds like the person on tumblr isn't really familiar with the novel or its characters. They're talking as though Pollution is the only bad guy or agender character when no, there are quite a few actually. Pollution isn't being singled out to be nonbinary in an example of crappy NB representation the way the user seems to think.
