Something That Needs Addressing About Elodie

Many people are calling Charlotte a “old ugly Nea”

I don’t think Nea’s ugly at all, and I really don’t think Charlotte looks like Nea either.

It doesn’t seem anyone is up in arms about all of that, tho.

Maybz ‘cause they are always mean to Nea and say she’s evil and that she’s the entity, idk

Still don’t think Nea deserves all that abuse😔

At first, in the video reveal, I thought she was Claudette, but then I noticed she looked different and was not sure until they revealed it. Granted, looking at both of them now, they have a lot of differences from one another, starting with the skin tone and expressions, etc.

You're assuming that the people on this forum somehow believe that black people are less than for comparing two black women when others have expressed, including myself, that they've done it to white characters. Elodie and Claudette do have some similarities, but they are by and large two completely different people. It doesn't mean you can't compare. Nea and Kate look nothing alike but certain cosmetics draw similarities. Intent matters more here.

And heaven forbid that people think Claudette got a new skin and that it wasn't an entirely different character. I thought it was a new Claudette skin when I saw a thumbnail for the new chapter on DbD on YouTube showing Elodie from behind. As others have mentioned, Claudette has a similar hairstyle and we know Claudette is fashionably bold as per previous cosmetics so it isn't a far fetch to assume.

And literally nobody has said they're basically the same person. Nobody. If they did, they were trolling, blind, or dumb. For real. The people commenting on this thread have just said I thought it was Claudette at first or are drawing similarities. Which is something people do for everyone! People did the same for Kate when she was introduced. But nobody cared about that.

90% of the time you're seeing this view. Skin color is obscured enough in the maps and unless you know every single cosmetic item for both characters, you will mistake claudette for elodie. Blame it on the devs for giving the black characters similar haircuts with the same color hair, not on the players that do not get a very good look at the survivors while playing the game, especially playing killer.

The white survivors have different hair cuts and different colors of hair, so they're a little easier to distinguish. Even then it's sometimes hard to distinguish which characters are which while in the middle of a game.

I'm not sure if you include me with "confusing these two", but just to make sure: I'm not.

All i'm saying is that i find these two to be similar in obvious manners, and practically everything that can be made more detailed is made different between the two.

Also, i myself am not gonna say their hairstyles are somewhat similar because 1 specific hairstyle makes them similar: Their basic hairstyles, a.k.a. the hairstyles that you can get a bloody Prestige version of, are too different to be called similar.

Ok, first, it was perfectly reasonable to assume it was a Claudette skin. Especially in the trailer I didn't realise it was a new survivor until she had a name at the end. Claudette gets a LOT of variation in cosmetics and nothing about this suggested any differently. If they released a more urban character who dresses in baggy jeans and is more themed around a harder life than Claudette people could argue that "Claudette doesn't fit that style," but we're still getting that as a cosmetic set from the community.

Secondly, I don't think it's so much "Claudette #2" meant as "Woman of Colour #2," I would assume it's meant more that everything about her except the ludicrously bright top is shades of black and brown. The second she gets a darker top cosmetic there'll be people latching on for the exact same intention of being Blendies.

If you mean visually, then sure.

What i said was that some of their traits are similar, which isn't limited to visual aspects.

This kind of posts always assures me that people posting them are significantly more racist than those they complain about; by bringing a matter of skin color into a question that never had anything to do with it, and self-victimizing / getting offended on behalf of other, while relying on their own questionable assumptions.

Okay lets look at this.

This person looks like this person.

That isn't bad at all, calling two people similar is fine. I think your being a bit... Overprotectice? Thats the wrong word but whatever. It's fine to call two people similar just learn when your told your wrong if you don't then your just being a troll.

I kinda get it. From what I'm reading OP is frustrated by ppl knowingly referring to Elodie as Claudette 2.0. So not in game, or from trailers, where things can be vague, but in conversations where we already know Elodie's identity as a separate survivor.

At least that's how the complaint read to me 🤷‍♀️

Not being offended by everything leads to a much more chill and happy life.

Does it really matter that people call Elodie Claudette#2 as a joke.

Is it really worth getting angry and making a post about where you know you will end up getting frustrated by arguing with people who don't see it your way?

Wouldn't it be more relaxing if you just looked at yourself and be an example rather then trying to fruitlessly change people who mostly are not even being serious.

Trust me, it's just not worth it. If there is actual discrimination because of race then you can and should open your mouth.

2 fictional characters of colors being mixed is hardly worth getting upset about
