.....you managed to completely misunderstand everything I stated.

Since I have never read HxH, I cannot speak for how the series portrays things. In other words, I honestly cannot make any kind of guesses in terms of the choices Togashi makes in terms of how Alluka is portrayed within the material or how he writes other characters dealing with Alluka.

Shounen and Seinen does matter, since they are different genres. They are written for different intended audiences, with a general difference in tone and the material handled (or how the same subject matters are handled). Shounen series, for example, tend to have more comedy and lighter elements when compared to Seinen, which is typically darker and more psychological in style. So absolutely, their genres could have an influence on how something is written and portrayed.

Again, never read HxH but I recall Yu Yu Hakusho to have been fairly light in subject matter.

And how did you even get the idea I am suggesting one writer cares more about his characters than another? I am simply pointing out traits in Ishida Sui's writing style. He writes with a strong focus on word choices and phrasing, with considerable multi-layered word play and enormous amounts of symbolism hidden within his writing and his artwork. Based on his established style, when we see him make the decision to have very gendered language in relation to Mutsuki that is signicant. Again, Japanese is a language that is pretty gender neutral so using gendered language is a creative decision.
