Bubba’s blackface cosmetic needs to be removed

Show us the actual post. Just saying it happened without a source, no one is going to believe you. Also, if you're telling the truth, then why are you still fighting? Sounds like it's going to happen. It just sounds like a lie.

Thats because it's harder to find the other original survivors at all it fits perfectly with the previous point
Also its incredibly easiest to ask for the the removal of just one of those masks it's like saying it's okay for these but not this one

I think they should just get it out of the way and remove Jake's as well. Extend the options to only white original survivors that way they have more options instead of just Dwight and Meg.

If they actually remove it, next we're gonna hear that killing any poc in this game is racist and should be bannable. Then it will become the case and everyone will play poc so they can't die.

There's no such thing as blackface anymore either. Blackface was a face painted on white people that exaggerated certain features, and used in stereotypical ways, and that hasn't been a real thing for almost a century (barring a few isolated incidents). That is not what is happening here. This kind of reminds me of when a plyer in the game Marvel Heroes complained because you could attack black criminals, despite the majority of them being white. They said it felt racist. However, that is because they saw them as black people, rather than just seeing them as people, much like what you are doing.

Jfc, so back when this was a thing that people cared about and wasn't being used years later to troll on forums, there was FAR less survivors and Claudette was a favorite, she was the easiest to play and learn with. Soooo, wouldn't it make logical sense that the Claudette skin mask would be easier to obtain?
It honestly sounds more ignorant to say, "because Claudette is black, she shouldn't be given a mask" than it does to let her have her moment with the other OG survivors. Wouldn't that single her out to remove her anyway?
I tried to get one back then, I gave up. I can say without a single doubt I knew that when I got one it would be Claudette because she was so popular and you know what, I would've rocked it. NOT because I am racist but because Claudette was my beginner survivor and she holds a special place for me because I learned how to play with her and wearing her mask would be cute imo. Not some gloom and doom bs reason that the OP cooked up in their head to start bs on the forum and feel like their SJW bs would be applauded.

I use it with the prestige body to hide better

It was simple The Cannibal gets to wear the faces of the Original survivors. One of the original survivors happened to be black or do you think they had this planned when the game was first released.

I run builds related to the faces I wear as bubba too. If I wear Claudette I run an anti healing build that let me keep tabs on those who are healing. As Dwight I run perks relating to working together.

I mean, i'd rather if they removed all faces instead of just removing claudette's

I never knew Bubba was wearing the faces of the OG survivors…

It's not "Blackface" it's literally "a Black person's face". There is a difference.

But they're right though. White face doesn't have any historical meaning unlike blackface/yellowface.

Black face is still a thing and can still be done by people. I hope you know that.

I don't think people doing It to be racist. And it's silly to assume you know why people do it. Now if they're being racist in chat, yeah ban them, it's warranted. But saying to remove a feature because it shows a black persons face, and saying it's racist, is just reinforcing racism.
So you're telling me, that we should remove that face, and only that face, because it's black, but leave the white guy faces and the Asian. That's literally segregation. That's treating something different because it's black.
My favorite quote when it comes to things regarding race is Morgan Freeman's. Stop talking about! Not in a manner that it doesn't exist in the world, but in a way that makes it different.
Why does it have to be a white person asking a black person a question? Why can't it just be a person asking a person a question.
It should be, "That's a bad thing because he's wearing people's faces."
Not, "That's bad because he's wearing black people's faces."
You're requesting special treatment (it being removed), which would be separating it and how it's treated based on the color of it's skin.
Before it was all treated the same, he was just wearing people's faces. But you're introducing racism where it didn't exist before for the sake of starting an argument.
Being racist would be saying, "He's gonna have all these different faces, but I'm not going to include one of any other color, because I don't want that in my game."
Can't expect to be treated the same, and then ask for special treatment based upon the color of your skin, or your gender, or nationality, or any other factors.

I use the claudette head cuz it matches the P2 Bubba outfit :)

Unless they announce that they're being racist in chat this is something at most you can only speculate on out of spite. No one with common sense is going to assume someone using this item is racist or trying to be racist.
In which case if someone announces they hate a certain race punish the player - The cosmetic has nothing to do with them being a halfwit.

I really, really think this is a racist trying to get minority representation removed from the game.
5 -
I've never once seen a Bubba player use any of the 4 survivor face masks.
2 -
Same. Every Bubba I've seen is either base Bubba or Old Lady. I can't recall ever seeing any of the 4 faces.
0 -
So either they remove it and are rascist or keep it and are rascist. Relax.
They just tryna do a blenda
1 -
Who are these Survivors that have time to 1: see Bubba's face, and 2: worry about a chainsaw wielding killer's ethics?
2 -
Why is it that only twitter users want it removed
10 -
What does that have to do with anything?
0 -
Nope, it does not.

it's true that his skintone under the mask is dark, but simply fix that not just remove her face entirely lol.
This has NEVER been a problem in almost 4 years and now it suddenly is??

This thread has been occasionally brought up.
and now there was an official stream apparently where it was mentioned. (There is a link somewhere in this thread)
1 -
isnt the point of the thread to remove it cuz racist people are using it...?
0 -
It's not blackface
0 -
This matters so little its not even funny. There are real instances of racism and bigotry in the world and its people like you that draw focus away from ACTUAL issues regaurding racism. This shouldnt be anywhere near the top of the devs priority list when it comes to balancing the game when its been almost unplayable for like 6 months.

I like how this man dedicated his username to his controversial opinion lol.

1. Who even notices which face bubba is wearing?
2. So now Claudette gets to be excluded? We're excluding the black characters now? Seems kinda racist.
3. I'm not black, is it blackface when I play Claudette/Adam/David Tapp? As I'm using a skin of a black character.
12 -
that might also just have something to do with the fact that the Claudette face is the only one of the four where you can actually tell that he is wearing a different mask than his standart one.
you're out here claiming its racist that the mask exists, but wouldnt it be just as, if not even more, racist to exclude Claudette from this series of unlockables just because she has a darker skin colour?
i have been playing this game since long before Bubba released and i have never met even a single person wearing that mask because they were trying to be racist or anything like that - including me, as i too like to run that mask.
thats just an assumption you are making that has absolutely no ground to stand on.
so whats comming next? calling every non japanese player racist for picking Spirit or Oni?
dont you see how ridiculous this topic is?
5 -
You're arguing with an alt/troll account, in case you were unaware.
5 -
I'm fine if they change it but just removing it is what I disagree with. Not everyone who uses it is racist maybe if BHVR would ban the racist who uses the mask in a 100% racist way then they should be banned.
2 -
they arent the first person ive seen claiming this, so i just wanted to set some things straight.
trust me, i dont really have any intention to start an argument here - i know thats a futile effort.
im just gonna throw in my 2 cents and then take my leave.

taking the mask out of the game doesn't fix the problem. the problem is racists and the racists will still be there when the mask it gone. you can get called a slur/targeted no matter what killer you are against. bubba wears his victims face. thats it...
5 -
Using a cosmetic is not racist. In many games I play black characters, usually because I like their design more... but I am a while person; am I now being racist? Get your priorities straight. Excluding the black original survivor from the options for Bubba is not working towards equality. It is not black face as it is literally the skin of the victims of Bubba that he wears as a mask and guess what... Claudette is black. Do you want to white wash her?
Including Claudette as one of the options for Bubba is inclusive, not exclusive and racist.
2 -
It's not "Blackface", it's literally the skin of Claudette's face used as a mask, like the other original survivors, not a painted face like the ones of Minstrel shows.
Woke twitter is coming to DBD forum haha.

Cmon man, it is just a cosmetic.

I almost exclusively play Feng as survivor so I've always kind of wanted a 'GamerFace' so I could use it when playing the killer.
I think whichever my main survivor was I feel having something on the killer side related to them would be pretty cool.

Careful it might get to a point where if you don't play a character that's of your ethnicity you'll be shamed for cultural appropriation 😂

Notice how you got zero upvotes? You ever consider that maybe the person playing is black and wants to use the black face? Maybe the person likes Claudette so they want to wear her face like a trophy and show appreciation for her or something. Also who cares there is also white face from Meg and Dwight and there is asian face from Jake. Get over yourself

History lesson Claudette is one of the most commonly used survivors. This was mainly due to her self care ability which in early dbd was much stronger. As a result a lot of player flocked to claudette. She also had a larger number of memes that often went beyond the hue hue impossible to see survivor. People found the hypocrisy of self care claudette looking out for herself funny with her character being an altruistic lore wise. Eventually she became the face character of a particularly awful steamer one who shall not be named (no its not JRM hes a funny dude). As a result many early claudette main's were trying to emulate the particular streamer and inspired some hatred towards the character. For context look at Elodie she carries none of the history Claudette carries and for the most part is a liked or amiable character.

By your logic we need to remove Myers from the game. Because in the new movie he kills a gay couple and is homophobic. So obviously anyone who plays Myers is homophobic.
Makes sense to me!
8 -
who cares?
1 -
Where is your proof that it "is used 10x more"?
Where is your proof that it is used more "purely for the fact that it's black"?
How do you know that "players are specifically using it above the others and targeting people playing the black characters"?
How do you know that it's used "as a revenge for Claudette being ‘stealthy’"?
All you are doing is making wild assumptions about the killers intention.

I want to know whose race checking Bubba's at the end of every match making sure their white, then has the Bubba's Quoted at "Yes, i wore claudettes face purely as a racial statement". Do you have even 1 screenshot for these boogeymen or do they exist purely in your head.
5 -
agreed
3 -
It's not just them. Several users on Twitter are upset about it as well. Including POCs. And if you're not a POC, you're (according to them) not allowed to have an opinion on the subject. Or at the very least your opinion shouldn't be taken into consideration.
