Extracted from this thread, it would be nice to replace all cases of "he" in demo descriptions with singular they or an alternative phrasing.

If you want to help, here is a list of demo messages, feel free to provide alternatives that can be just copy pasted (remember to include the message ID, the part that starts with MID_): https://github.com/CaravelGames/drod/blob/master/Texts/DemosMessages.uni

If we're happy with singular they:
(The first one might want to be "themselves" - style views vary.)


[MID_DemoDescKilled1]
[eng]
The player gets themself killed pretty quickly.


[MID_DemoDescKilled4]
[eng]
The player goes screaming to their death and takes some monsters with them.


[MID_DemoDescLeaves1]
[eng]
Then they leave.


[MID_DemoDescLoiters1]
[eng]
They came. They saw. They didn't do much of anything.


[MID_DemoDescExits1]
[eng]
Then they exit the level.

Skell, didn't see this other topic on this issue and I just submitted a PR to address the pronouns.

I think this catches everything, but feel free to suggest more changes if I missed something.

The following messages in DemosMessages.uni have not been changed:

The player gets himself killed pretty quickly.

The player goes screaming to his death and takes some monsters with him.

In 5.2.0.508 I can still see "Then he leaves." in-game. I'm not sure if I'm supposed to see new strings here in this version yet.
