Why Only pride flags in DBD ?

I don't want to sound like a bigot but why is there ONLY PRIDE FLAGS in DBD. The game has been proudly developed by french canadian, Tho in all the years i've played DBD i have never seen a Quebec's Flag on St-Jean Holiday ? They are tons of big youtubers that has created whole communities around this game (Noob3, JRM, Ayrun, Monto, etc) none of these communities have community flags in the game ?

Just to say it again, I have nothing against LGBTQ++ or having LGBTQ++ Flags in game but they are the ONLY FLAGS available. And all of those who helped build this community have no flags what so ever.

    Horror Community has a long history of being pro LGBT.
    LGBT are actively being disregarded, disowned, discriminated, they need our support.
    bHVR is also a very inclusive developer and they try their best.

    I also like how the most popular content creators on this game tell advice on how to balance the game to the Dev yet they only listen to Twitch Killer cry babies.

    Most popular content creators do not know how to balance a game for others than themselves, Sure they have many fans, most would be yes-men, Good Game Design comes from careful examination, consideration and knowledge of all types of players.

    I have played this game for over 5000 hours, but that does not make my ideas good.
    What does make me ideas good are well reasoned arguments for those ideas.

    Example: I thought that "Skills" idea bHVR had for 2v8 was superbad, but actually it makes things so simple and I grew to love it.

    Don't take the bait. OP is just trying to waste your time.

    The response isnt only for OP, there is a point to be made, even if its trolling.
    But I appreciate your concern either way.

    If you forget the whole pride flag whining, OP actually does make a good point or two. I think it would be pretty cool if any YouTuber making DBD content and has over 200,000 subscribers and is in good standing with BHVR got a banner or something that they got to personally design. It is something that should take minimal effort on BHVR's part and would create a lot of good will.

    I dont think its the fact their against the idea of adding other flags, but its probably more to the fact the pride flags are so well received so their more incentivized to include it, and the game is very lgbt friendly,

    Your concerns are valid though but the game doesn’t listen to much to streamers because they center around the average player experience rather than experienced players, its impossible to find common ground between a 5 hour player vs 5000 hour player

    They aren't going to do that because then it comes out that whatever YouTube man is doing heinous crimes and now they have to remove all that stuff

    That is a valid point with what has recently happened with Mr Beast's channel. Even so, I think it is a good idea. If someone turns out to be a monster in RL they always have the option to remove that banner/charm or whatever. I don't think a rational person would try to hold BHVR accountable for something a YouTuber did just because they added some minor content related to the person.

    For those thinking this is a troll post no i'm serious and AGAIN i have nothing against any part of the LGBT community. Nothing against the presence of flags of anysort in the game. Calling my post whining about pride flag is clearly you misunderstanding the points and trying to make yourselves the victims again.

    And yes advice from people having lots of thousands of hours on the game should be taken into account by the dev for balancing the game. I've been grinding hard this game since release, participate in pretty much all events over the years. I just don't get why we only get nerfs on almost only Survivor perks and and huge buffs on only killers pretty much, like i said now it is practically impossible to win solo queue.

    You made a good point concerning the 2v8, and i hope they bring it back. 2v8 just showed us how much Killers rely on perks to be good. You make a good point also for the flags (LGBT are actively being disregarded, disowned, discriminated, they need our support) But also it would be cool to have a flag of Quebec ? Like the game was born in montreal ?

    I want a German flag. I don’t see how those would be more political than bride flags.

    I'm all for representation and inclusivity, but when the only representation you have in the game is with LGBT community it feels like the game is only for lgbt community. Keep the flags all you want we just want more options. Country flags, actual gaming community flags…
