Sensitive question (sexual abuse)
So being on Switch we havent seen Freddy's map as often as the rest of you.
When I go in the basement of the preschool, I feel uncomfortable.
Today playing there I absord those 2 beds down there. One a bed proper the other just a mattress.
Is this supposed to be the area Freddy kept children? If so I think its in poor taste and should be edited. I don't think even if its cannon we should have to see that...
If I'm wrong Im sorry if I upset anyone with my thread. If I am right..you guys..Im just never going down the basement again. I dont care if there is a NOED totem down there. This stuff is just ...i dont know..but I'm not involving myself with those mattresses ever again..😞

I can't say for sure, but I believe that is the room where Freddy died in the Remake

Why 2 different beds though...thats the most creepy...
0 -
In the remake it was confirmed that he really was a pedophile
11 -
Poor thing, we should feel sorry for you for seeing such a thing in horror 18+ game...

One is just a mattress while the other has the frame, most likely judging by how the mattress with the frame is filthy and the one with the frame is actually quite nice, I assume the mattress one is the one where this all occurred, but the one with the frame and mattress is where freddy got his neck slashed in the remake so just remember that Freddy died next to a totem

The bed was defintely there in the movie, since there was the fight scene with Freddy around that bed. The mattress, I don't recall, but it might have been there too, but I don't think Freddys hidden room is in the game.

Someone clearly doesn't know that seeing certain things can make someone uncomfortable

Why would a remake that occurred after this map came out have new meaning to the map itself
it just means theres a bed because thats where freddy slept I think and where a shrine was made to him
3 -
According to he movie yes that is the room where it happened. Also where Freddy died, but yes that's the room where it 'happened', thankfully they don't illustrate this in the game, and this also why I don't play Freddy that much, its just disturbing to know that its officially canon.

Yea it's there too.
There's a little boarded up alcove by the bed with a skull, candles, and (IIRC) the black box of photos that Nancy and Quentin find in the movie.

Yeah the Freddy story is not a very pleasant one.
6 -
Yeah, oof. I haven't seen the movie, but I believe that's just where he slept, because he was the Pre-Schools gardener (which I think would be, like, illegal). Both Freddy and Pyramid Head are probably the darkest characters, as both their stories have (implied) sexual abuse.

That's his story it's not something they made , I mean to be fair this is an adult game for adults who can handle this sort of thing , nobody complains about deathslinger having a gun at a school in midwich or in badham but in real life that's no joke , point being it's a video game and if you can't handle it don't play it's rated the way it is for a reason and the horror icons have some gruesome back stories

Little fun fact about Pyramid Head: In Silent Hill 2 during the scene with Pyramid Head and the Mannequin scene, Pyramid Head has his tongue out but due to how dark the screen is and the position of the camera you cannot see it
This was confirmed by the man who created Pyramid Head, Masahiro Ito

Wow, how fun.
I wonder why he hasn't gotten shipped with anyone yet?
/s
1 -
Oh wait, I just found out that in Silent Hill 2 during the first Pyramid Head fight, having your brightness high will allow you to see it!
8 -
Holy crap, he is way more jacked in DbD than he was in SH2, at least it looks like it. Also, gross, hate it.

here we start with the oversensitive stuff. completelly unnecesary is part of the lore and you actually mind about a bed in a game where you literally massacre human beings as the killer? the double standards man what a good time to live in. with your thoughts this game shouldnt even exist, buty you still play it wich means you are ok with dismember as hag does in her mori, smacking survivors to death as oni, or cracking hard bone skull as clown, etc. but a bed out of context is a problem to you.

It's been a while since i've seen that movie but I'm not really sure if it was actually said out loud that freddy as you said absused the children.
It's shown that he tortured them (not really that much better) but i don't recall them activly saying anything sexual.
Again it's been a while so i could be wrong

Time to play some Freddy, I guess.

Horror is supposed to take you out of your comfort zone. Stalkers aren't rainbows and kittens.

In the original script, Freddy was a child molester.
According to IMDb, the villain was changed to a child killer because producers wanted to avoid comparisons to a story in California about a series of child molestations at the time of filming.
In the new version, Krueger is a child molester who keeps Polaroids of his crimes in a shoebox
In the original movies he was a child murderer
In the remake he's a child molester

DBD is not Outlast or anything like outlast, Outlast is MEANT to make you uncomfortable, while DBD doesn't have anything except this that makes you uncomfortable
2 -
yeah, unfortunately the story behind freddy is more than just your typical slasher, but at the same time it adds more to his gross character.
a lot of people tend to forget that detail about him..
do what makes you feel better. i'm sorry that area makes you uncomfortable. :(

Huntress starved little girls to death. Clown kills birds and collects fingers. Philips backstory is African genocide. Spirit was killed by domestic abuse.
Freddy simply existing in the game with these implications IS an example as well.
13 -
That's a thin line to walk on. A lot of people watch or play horror because they want to be scared, being scared is fun - not everyone wants to face the cesspool that humanity can be at the same time. But, in general, yeah - DbD has some dark themes already within. Freddy is just a different kind of dark compared to the usual for the game. PH, as I've said in this thread before, is implied to do something similar.

Thanks man. I guess I'll just avoid the area. I don't see the map very often, so at least I wont be injuring my team that much...

I knew who posted this thread before I even opened it.

People tend to interpret things based on their own experiences. I see the mattresses and beds as nothing more than temptations for the tired to give in and fall asleep so that Freddy can enter their dreams. For you to jump to the conclusion that they're there for ######### children is disturbing.

Freddy is literally a pedophile in the movie. It's not a out there thought.
11 -
What line? We have a killer THAT SHOOTS UP HEROINE AS HIS POWER.
Here's something to chew on: All murder is a form of #########. It's invasive, unwanted physical violence. Hag jams her whole fist in.

I mean, the Freddy we have is a pedo. It'd be blatantly against his characterization if they just outright ignored that fact. These environments aren't necessarily supposed to be happy you know? Whether its the Murder House in Red Forest or the dead bodys in Hawkins Laboratory your not supposed to feel comfortable in them.

PH only sexually abused monsters, and even then Pyramid head was universe, if you deserved to be judged and punished, then he would judge and punish you. Equally. Monsters and humans were not safe from him he's not really a good guy of course, but think of him like the old saying "Justice is blind", he isn't bound by morals.

I mean, Pyramid Head is a lot more then executioner. He's a dark manifestation of James' darkest parts, made to punish him for what he's done. The mannequins he assaults are manifestations of James' skewed thoughts towards women, and PH's abuse is more symbolic then anything.

Buttercake, it seems to me that you are starting to confuse the game / film / fiction with reality and you get too fixated on it. Maybe you need professional help to deal with this problem?

A digital bed in a side room of the basement of a map on a video game where a fictional character might have been suggested to have done something in a fictional movie to other fictional characters who for all intents and purposes don't really exist and only serve as part of the backstory and to which such events were never explicitly featured in said movie?
1 -
Buttercake, I know it's uncomfortable and I hate that it was in the movies, so good luck when you spawn on that map. It's upsetting to think about, even worse than going on a meat hook or having a goopy monster lad inject me with serum and kill me. I think the reason it's so scary is because it's the realest part about Freddy. Dream demons and all that are scary, but we know that's just for the sake of horror. P*dophilia is real, and it's terrible. This is an 18+ game, that's fine, but people are allowed to be uncomfortable. So, with that, good luck in your next matches and I hope they're more fun than this one honey bunch <3

Thanks for the kind words. 💖

I understand the feeling that some people can have from this image, I think the same discussions were probably had when Freddy was introduced to the game. But can we please remain respectful to each other with regards to this thread, thank you.

It is. Its the hole in the wall by his bed

Look no disrespect, but you're a little TOO sensitive. In no way am I saying it is bad to be sensitive to these things, because they come from a place of sympathy or empathy and many other things. But the sad truth is these things happen ALOT, humans are the worst things to have lived in my opinion and Krueger shows that. This is an 18+ HORROR game the game is supposed to be scary and mature and if you cant handle the aspect just do your best to ignore it, if you dont you will just hurt your own mental health. But don't start calling for cancel culture or removal of certain things because they make you uncomfortable because some people appreciate these deep stories for immersion. Also im sorry you feel that way.

It is. If you look next to his bed, there is a little hole in the wall where you can see some drawings and candles.

As far as know, it was the concept for him from the beginning, but they were "scared" to touch the topic due to age restrictions or getting banned from cinema etc.
2 -
thanks. that's excatly my thoughts after reading the thread. I'm in no way a guy who tells other people to "man up" or to not be sensitive or something like this, since i know the struggle of mental health issues, being triggered/ traumatized etc. And it's good to empower people to tell their feelings and worries and talk about stuff. Those things are unfortunately part of this world and i think that a horror game should be able to imply stuff like this, maybe with some kind of trigger warning in some cases.
Personally, i don't see why massacring people in unimaginable ways and inflicting heavy suffering is something that's acceptable in video games but any offense that has some sexual- or hate background is a no-go for people. I personally can't watch SAW, i did watch one movie and it was so uncomfortable for me to watch those peoples suffering, seeing their beloved family members getting tortured and killed and they can't do anything. But i would never call for a change of those movies because of that. I just don't watch them anymore.

Freddy isn't an original character, so BHVR has no control over his backstory or how the license holders want him represented in game.
Though buttercake it is surprising that this is where you draw the line. Considering your pregnant survivor post some time ago.
2 -
I only tell people to grow up if they get offended at jokes, this is a bit different as they weren't offended but expressed discomfort. I can watch almost anything but #########. It brings an anger and disgust out in me, even if its fake it makes me want to hurt someone.
4 -
no the remake was made in 2013, 3 years before the game even came out
3 -
Horror games aren't suppose to have any sensitive or graphic material in them. They're suppose to be pink and fluffy.
2 -
I know we're all Gamers™ here but can we not turn this into a "who has the least empathy" contest?
@Buttercake can you just not go in that specific downstairs area? There's nothing much there apart from a totem/a chest/the hatch. But you might not always get much choice going down at all if the killer wants to basement hook you and it's there
