Pride charm = Getting camped :/
The charm is not even a few hours old and 7/10 matches I got facecamped from a killer who hit the charm all the time.
I really like the charm but I wanna play normally....I'm sad this community has so many homophobic kids in it :/

I have played a few matches with the charm and there was no difference to before.
i doubt there are actually many that go out of their way to target people that wear the charm..maybe you were just really unlucky.
although.. how do you know they ‚hit the charm‘ and that that’s the reason?

I got facecamped 5 times today (1 was a few games ago) and I wonder if it was for the same reason as they kept hitting me on hook as well. Not sure if it was aimed at the charm though.
I can't believe there's people out there like that. I never would've thought that would be a reason why someone was targeted out of the game until I seen this post. Wow.

If you're on PC, ask them why they camped you in chat.
People like that can't help themselves and will admit it in order to gloat. Then you can report them.
Hell you can do it on console via the system chat too, and report them to Sony/Microsoft.

If they do that just because of your charm it's a really ######### thing to do....

If they explicitly keep on hitting the charm could it be a bannable offence...?

Probably not. Could always claim "I didn't even see the charm" which isn't unrealistic anyway, hence why I suggested teasing out a confession in chat.

To be honest I dont think it is the reason. When I play killer I dont even see the people's charms due to 1st person look at most of the time. So I dont think it is because of your charm but because many killers nowadays tunnell and camp.

I don't want to justify their actions, but I never notice what charms are survivors wearing, because they're barely noticeable, but maybe it's just me. If they admit to targeting you just because of using specific charm, just report them.

I had a game last night against a spirit who, based on their Steam profile / comments, I'm about 90% certain was tunneling me off hook due to the charm. Thankfully they weren't particularly good and with assistance from my team was able to run her for the full 5 gens and escape. I genuinely hope it was something less nefarious but sadly you never know with this community. Funny thing is the charm is just something that looks cool to me, I'm not part of the LGTB community, just someone who was raised to treat others how I'd like to be treated.

I haven't noticed any difference

i get camped and tunneld without it so nothig has chage in my games
edit: typos

Same, my matches have been exactly like they always are.

You can and should report discriminating comments and hateful profiles to Steam!

Thank god I am a killer main I can run the charm without this #########.

Already did, but I have no faith of anything being done. There were comments going back to 2018 from people saying they'd reported the user and the account was still active. Still, Rome wasn't built in a day and all that.

I played for about four hours last night into this morning. I can't report any differences as survivor or killer, as I played both roughly equally.
One of my matches DID involve a hardcore face camper but then he let me go as the last survivor (I think it's because I stopped opening the exit gate when he approached and bowed as if to say "go ahead, take the win". I think I got lucky with that, he probably would have killed me otherwise).
So no, my first few hours of playing with the charm made no difference. To be honest, as killer I didn't notice the charms at all, Pride or otherwise.

I have the charm on my Legion hook, I didn't even use the Legion's power the whole match, yet I still had a Meg (also wearing the charm) running at me with their Endurance from BT when I tried to go for the unhooker, and hiding in a locker to hit me with DS when I tried calling their bluff.
######### will still be #########

Fluffed pillows. Fresh sheets. Warm blanket. Lovely.

Well they looked directly where the charm is and hit all the time from that side.

thats concerning and hopefully you were just unlucky with your matches and this won’t be a general issue.
but I guess such people are easy to bait something out of in the end game chat, just mildly tease them for example that they needed to facecamp you because you outplayed them so hard. They will probably want to correct you ;)
1 -
Imo there needs to be more evidence to ban someone. Its not my problem bc i never hit people on the hook but i think clearer evidence is needed. Most will admit it in chat anyway.

It's just a game, toughen up.

Discrimination and harassment are not ‚games‘ and have nothing to do in DbD. They are reportable and bannable offenses - in-game and in the forums.

Like the killer got time to see a tiny 1cm stuff on your character bottom.. stop acting victims, noob/ loser killer is gonna tunnel or camp no matter what
7 -
Correct, I do not discriminate my tunneling based off of charms that I cannot see.
9 -
That’s the thing though.. apparently those killer players stop playing the actual game and start to concentrate on such things and only target according to that.
This was a thing before, for example killers singling out characters that are people of color. And it was always against game rules and reportable/bannable with sufficient proof.

I didn't notice any difference.

I'd be really surprised if the charm was the reason, a very very tiny minority may do this but most wont care or even be able to see the charm.
Im probably good for getting minimum 5 facecamps/beaten on the hook a day, i think if i put the charm on i'll still be good for my 5 a day.
Weirdly i enjoy it, if i didnt get it id think i was playing the game wrong. Get the gens done team, me and the killer are sharing a moment lol.

Plot twist: the facecamping killers are LGBT themselves and want to be near the survivor with the charm and try to hug them 🏳️🌈 very wholesome killers

Unless they explicitly tell you, you shouldn't just assume it's because of the charm.
People got camped and m1 spammed before the charm was a thing too.
And while that is a pretty jerk move to do calling someone out for homophobe is some serious accusation and namecalling and a hell of a lot worse then playing a videogame in a unfun way if it's not actually true.
This charm is meant to be a reprisentation and token of acceptance for lbgt. To show that they are welcome and part of the community.
It is not meant to be a weapon that you can use to shame the other players into giving you an easier game.
That sort of behaviour creates hate and mistrust and sorry but if you do that you're just as bad as the actual homophobes.
If they say they griefed because of the charm you can report them. If they don't then you can assume it's one of the 100 other reasons players can choose to be jerks online

I am sorry but i think you are lying or trolling. As killer main i never gave attention to survivor charms. They are so small for see. Playing for years this game and i never remember to look survivor charms. And i do not think any killer main looking them.
Nice bait anyway.
6 -
How are they hitting the charm?! Killers can’t accurately aim where on a Survivors body they hit.
7 -
OP already explained, the killer is standing in a position with the charm directly in view for them and then hitting.
and we clarified that those killers actually want to support the LGBTQ+ community and try to hug the survs (which they sadly can’t and thus they are hitting them accidentally)
3 -
In no way saying that this happens regularly, but..
Unfortunately I can confirm they aren’t just making up a scenario.
5 -
Just stop it man that's not true. They camped because they're toxic, or a troll, or had a bad game previously. Your orientation is not that serious. This has been going on since the inception of this game.

I'm just here to play video games.
5 -
You can just do that? What is hindering you?
5 -
Charms are visible to killers? i never see them lol.
0 -
I'm just saying that I come here to play video games and get away from the bigotry, politics, constant strife that makes me not want to watch the news. I just find it kind of sad that instead of talking about DbD we are now talking about this in thread after thread after thread.
6 -
I get that. I also don’t want to see people talking down on LGBTQ+ topics in a video game forum. But I have to endure those as well. I can’t really do anything against that.
but… you can just not click on the dedicated threads, you know? I want to take part in these discussions, and the devs of this video game are caring about this topic and are including stuff like the charm into their game so it has actually a place here.

I played 6 matches last night and was only one in my lobbies with flag charm, all the killers played normal. Had one green rank killer, rest were red/purple rank.
0 -
I care about the topic too. Instead of this beautiful thing, a step forward now we are jumping at shadows and people keep posting that they are being tunneled and camped because of their charm. This is why we can't have nice things. You and I both know that those same people were saying they were being tunneled and camped last week for no reason at all. We also know that perhaps one in a hundred people might be targeted because of the charm. Nearly everyone has it. I have it. Basically, a nice step has been turned into yet another cesspool of excuses and annoyance.
If someone is a bigot and a jerk, I'm going to call them on it. I'm going to get in their way. If I see people spoiling for a fight, using the charm as a way to get it, I'm going to get in their way too.

Per BHVRs own words: be killer, can't kill anyone because everyone has magical tag that gets you banned. 100% sure killers are just gonna get mass reported for hate crimes because they dared to play the game.
0 -
Okay fair enough, I didn’t see that that’s what you were getting at.
yeah. But those people that have to ruin something good will always be their, regardless of what it’s about. Some of them really think they are being targeted because of the charm even though that’s not true.
1 -
This actually brings up a similar point of can you banned for tunneling/camping certain cosmetics or characters? I don't know if the devs have said anything about that?
Shirtless Davids, Toxic Neas, Dark Outfit Claudettes, Bunny Fengs, Mismatched/Silly Dwights, and the list goes on. Some people tunnel/camp them without mercy and there's even been threads about who you might specifically go after over others.
Let's say someone is tunneling you because of the charm. I agree if they're only doing it because they're homophobic and want to hurt you then ban them but what if they just like the charm? What if they dislike the colors? What if they just want to be annoying and get a salty message? What if people start tunneling anyone who isn't wearing the charm?
If people are going to be banned for tunneling the charm then so be it but I hope people bring up tunneling/camping certain characters/cosmetics as well. It's the same issue at a base level and if one gets punished I think it's only right to punish all of them.
Edit: Just to clarify I don't think tunneling/camping certain charms/cosmetics/characters should be bannable at all without getting their reason. I find the issue of tunneling the charm and tunneling based on character/cosmetics very similar and should be handled the same. If they don't bring up their reason for why they did it I don't think they should be punished for it even if they were specifically targeting it.

It's not because of the charm, camping is a strategy and has been done for a long time. Just because a charm is in the game doesn't mean you can blame killers for camping you because of the charm. The only time you can say that is if the killer said something about it in the chat and criticized you.
I have been wearing the charm and my games are normal, I get tunneled and I don't blame it on the charm. I say "Hmmm maybe the killer is playing the game and not doing it because of my charm"

If someone is loser enough to be wanting to tunnel wearers of this charm, they'll be able to see it. I was farming a rift challenge as killer yesterday, I downed this Nancy several times and didn't notice she had it on until the last time I downed her in the exit gate, I wasn't looking for it and noticed it because it's quite colorful, if someone has the mission to tunnel survivors wearing it and is looking for it, they'll be able to see it

A cartoon character hitting a badge on a game object is not harrasment. Anything in the Chat or post game is

I can't say I've ever noticed a charm on a survivor as I have to concentrate when playing killer. With Oni you're running at 200mph and don't even get to look at your victims arse for long. I play Trapper too and most of my kills are those that stepped in traps 😅

I am not a member of the LGBTQ+ Comunity, but I respect it as everyone should, i think that there is no point at camping or tunneling someone with this charm, I am just using this charm as Killer as I know that this situations are happening to a lot of people, that should count as sportsmanalike just like normal camping should be, we never know how the Devs pretend to fix this.
