Explanation
In European Spanish, Houndmaster's voicelines--at times--do not agree with the gender of the group or person she is referring to. This is problematic because there is a chance for Houndmaster to misgender characters such as Orela--who is not a male--as a male and not female.
In reference to a group of women, she uses the male plural of the imperative tú command with the Direct Object Pronoun. In Spanish, you use the male plural for a group of only men, and when the group comprises both men and women. A group of only women uses the female ending. Likewise, when getting stunned, she does not use the feminine ending for nouns such as <<Gusano(a)>> when the Survivor themselves identify as a female.
