All crow charms should be universal

TITLE

Ever since their introduction to DBD, charms have always had 3 categories: survivor only, killer only, or universal. And that is perfectly fine, since those role-specific charms are quite often things that would look weird on the other role's hooks or belts. Having Yui's bike charm (Propulsion Overdrive RK7) on a killer's hook would look a bit out of place, I think.

But the crows in Dead by Daylight are different. They can be interacted with by both roles, and both roles have perks related to them. Calm Spirit prevents you from spooking them, while Spies from the Shadows and Languid Touch provide the killer with information and advantages in chase.

So why are some crow charms only for one role or the other? I'd personally love to see all of them becoming universal, to reflect the part they play in the trials.

Above are two examples:
- the Vacation Crow charm is survivor-only, and that makes it impossible to pair it with a killer's Hooked on You cosmetic (Huntress, Spirit, Trickster, perhaps Wraith and Trapper in the future). And if Artist for some reason ever gets a beach/summer cosmetic I won't be able to use the Vacation Crow charm either! :(
- the Blighted Crow charm is killer-only, so you can't pair it with a survivor's Blighted cosmetic (or even the Legacy one if you're an OG).

I think this would be a welcome change that will provide a lot more customisation options for both roles :).

    I would agree, however, I would go even further and make every charm universal. I can get that it might look out of place with some charms, if you have some gruesome charm at a Survivors belt (which might not even be out of place, after all, Horror-themed accessoires are also used in Real Life) or some cute thingy on the Killers Hook.

    But on the other hand we have things like Mister Puddles, the Onesies from Elodie and Zarina, Dwelf and probably many other examples of Skins in the game nowadays, I dont really think that charms should be the breaking point here.
