A response to those against adding LGBTQIA+

Understandable.

You should read the lore before speaking about the lore. There's a whole tome dedicated to Frank and Julie's relationship.

Like I said before, we're all adults here, so let's be frank with each other. You don't believe that someone is anything but heterosexual if you see them dating someone of the opposite sex unless you already know them. In fact, nobody does. So no, it's not "intriguing" that anyone would assume that Frank dating Julie means they're heterosexual, it's just what everyone does.

You're assuming again, assuming that everyone does things a specific way OK just because someone else implies something doesn't mean another person is the exact same copy of the first person and is going to mean something in the same way. If I meant that person had a problem I would just go ahead and say it, if I want to insult someone I do it blatantly. I don't need help either thank you.

My intention was not to insult that person or anyone in this forum, they actually stopped pinging which I appreciated and would appreciate if you see this you don't ping me, this topic is not about me it is about as op say new character.

Thank you for that. I would still classify that in my same opinion of david where a single hetero reference does not make a definitive hetero character.

Who cares, really- if there's no assigned sexuality to a character, they can just be whatever you want- Dwight in an elf suit gives off some vibes anyway XDD

Which is the point i was trying to get across on page 5, i prefer to create my own narrative on those points rather than have them definitive.

That's completely understandable and BHVR initially intended to do it that way but then they screwed it up and mentioned sexuality (e.g nurses lore) anyway and now to try to fix that mistake to be more inclusive in the lore of upcoming characters

Sure he could definitely be pan/bi/omni but considering how they're literally having a kid that's still +1 for the hets™ and +0 for the gays™

GoodBoys should do their homework and get enough sleep though ☝️

I am a GoodBoy though but no every-*slowly fades into unintelligible tired grumbling about coffee, being underappreciated, and a cow* >:(

And yet they haven't confirmed any of it. All they've confirmed is that there are het relationships and no gay ones in the canon lore of dbd at this moment in time, which is literally all we want. Something concrete and canon.

But nothing has been confirmed or mentioned so where is this all coming from

Which survivor (Or killer) Has representation of LGBTQIA+ I think it could be Zarina with her backstory but I could be wrong. I haven't read most of the killer's and Survivor's backstory to know about that.

I don't like that you are forced to accept every "modern" political thing in our society, or you will not be accepted. We should all have our right to freedom of speech and people should respect different opinions.

And do understand that I don't say I'm positive or negative to anything, just saying if everyone have their right to their religion, sexuality etc you should have a right to any political view also.

I do respect different sexual opinions. I'm all for freedom of speech and here in my country we are so far from it and everything is getting so much worse all the time. We had peaceful streets here 20 years ago nowdays they are full of gangs robbing or abusing you, if I protest against this I lose my job that is how it is. It's a globalist regime and in their eyes I am a "right wing extremism" probably although I'm not really.

And I don't have anything against LGBT people at all just saying. It's just the need to include what is trending because some people are very vocal about it. If we see more people demanding more respect for people in wheelchairs then games will feel the need to include it. So this thing just feels political.

Idc if a LGBTIQ survivor gets added if this relationship is like a side note for example the nurse. In the Lore of the nurse it is more focused around the horrors she has to deal with at her work.

I DO have a problem behaviour adds a LGBTIQ survivor and promotes it like crazy: OMG WE HAVE LGBTIQ REPRESENTATION IN DBD!!!!

The representation should be a side note not a crucial part of the survivor or the Lore, because it is still a horror game not a dating sim.

Never said you couldn’t state your opinion. But so can I.

and your claim is not true. Almost everybody asks for not stereotypical representation. I think any representation is good, especially if it is diverse. So get me a flamboyant gay femboy. But also get me some normal dude that just happens to be gay. (I am using gay here as an example, can be expanded on anything LGBT+)

just because there are stereotypes doesn’t mean every representation has be be strictly using or not using those stereotypes. People should restrict the writers that way, straight chars are not restricted to be non-stereotypical hetero as well

I can somewhat understand wanting specific races in a game, but sexuality has no relevance to anything whatsoever. I have a lot of experiences with the LGBT+ community, and most of my experiences, similar to the opinions and statements by people in this thread, had done nothing but cause me to want as little to do with it as possible. LGBT+ these days has fallen into the same extremist issues that liberal politics has had happen to it, which has its own ties to the LGBT+ community itself, in that it's a small amount of people trying to make everything about gender, and trying to force ridiculous things onto people, but when you start to use their own logic against them, suddenly you just hate non-straight people. There's plenty of good, sure, but if you're bisexual and happen to have an opposite sex relationship, oh no you're just evil.

But sure, it does go both ways in that people who are racist or people who are offended by anything other than their own sexuality would complain about a character they main being gay or trans, but well, who cares about those people

While I get where you're coming from, you're speaking of another minority within the lgbt+, everyone is a different world and yes, there's people who are really dumb within lgbt, and outside of lgbt, the problem with this is that overall you won't see anything but the people outside argue that this is some agenda and political thing when there's a character introduced into the media being LGBT, extra points if its a main character.

Being LGBT myself I love having some characters like this, not because of the whole just sexuality or whatever, but because the struggles they represent can feel real and relatable to many of our experiences, it is a painful existence out there being within LGBT, especially if you're being chased with hate crimes, which sadly happens all too often.

In a perfect world nobody would care about a character like this at all, they would accept it as normal, rather than make a big fuss about it, but with how things are nowadays, and will probably be for a really long time, it's a bless that we even get a minimal representation in the things we love.

So yeah, even if there's extremists within the LGBT, which happens, they're not important, most of us I can tell just want a bit of peace and acceptance, not to force ######### on people.
