Just wanted to chime in to say that at the moment you can search for in order to filter out posts where Firefly herself appears (and usually the armour doesn't take the spotlight in that case)

...

My exposure to HSR is secondary at best, however I just want to say that, as far as I know, Samus has never been referred to as a guy, her identity has always been pretty straightforward, and she never spoke with a male voice. SAM is much more akin to an alternate identity.

This is a fair point. However, I would argue that SAM is not akin to an alternate identity; a major part of Firefly as a character is that SAM is part of who she is. Aside from when the translation team made mistakes (which were later corrected), in-game text about SAM has always referred to them with gender neutral or female pronouns (with the German and French translations for "Stellaron Hunter Sam" even being "Stellaron Huntress Sam"). Furthermore, after Firefly's reveal in the Penacony story, HSR has been very open about SAM's true identity in promotional material and social media.
