LGBTQ Killer & Survivor
That is 5th year of DbD and that is shame we still have not any killer or survivor. I am straight but i am supporting LGBTQ community and think we have to get one killer and survivor for them.
For survivor i have no idea, they can go to any license if there any survivor. Or they can create original survivor.
But for killer Angela Baker from Sleepaway Camp would be perfect. She is seem like survivor, she would be one of the human killers. For power i really do not know because she is normal human but so smart.
What do you thinking? Shoot your opinions. Should we get LGBTQ Killer & Survivor? And would you like Angela?

As far as I know, none of the killers or survivors are supposed to have a defined sexuality. If you want an LGBTQ character you can just look at the characters we already have, it's all up to your interpretation.

I don't think any of the killers should have a defined sexuality, but for survivors that ship has definitely sailed, with Felix canonically being a father-to-be and I think David had a girlfriend?
I wouldn't mind a canonically gay survivor, but it'd have to be written in the same style as all the others.

Nurse had husband, David had girlfriend for example

Well if they are doing it then sure, an LGBTQ character would be nice. I would have preferred them to stick with the undefined trend though.

The CryptTV characters (LookSee, Mordeo, Birch) are confirmed by their creators to be part of LGBTQ+ Community. Though I don’t have any detailed knowledge of the lore and if they actually are/were human at all..
it’s very much possible that they will reveal a Same-Sex relationship or something similar to one of the existing characters in the tome stories - or they will create a new character which happens to be part of the LGBTQ+ community. They have also confirmed they are working with consultants from GaymerX to make sure they are doing it the right way and not just slap it on a character and making unintended mistakes by doing that with harmful clichees or something.

Best way to do it imo:
1) Monitor the forums/discord/stream chat to see who the people who are most adamantly opposed to LGBT inclusion are.
2) Determine out of these people which character they main most
3) Make that character canonically LGBT, but also hilariously over the top about it.
4) ???

This is where head canons come in. You can picture any killer and survivor as however you want! since there has never been an official statement about any of the characters their sexuality, you're free to give it your own!

As someone who is gay, I do not want a character to be made just for them to be LGBTQ. I want a character first, not a product used to say "we support LGBT." It is really offensive, to me at least, when a company makes a new character or whatever just to make them openly LGBT and that's their only character trait. Being LGBT is just who you like to date, not part of your personality.

We've already figured out step 3. It's Feng.

None of those charakters have a personality, so whats the point of defining there sexuality?
1 -
1) They all have a backstory/lore, so they do have personalities.
2) It's in the same vein as me wanting a larger body type survivor like Jane. I wanted representation. What's wrong with giving people representation?

I'm just trying to survivor or kill tbh I'm not to fussed whether Trapper fooled around with some dudes in his past life when I'm killing survivors lol. I'm gay btw and I'm just not interested if in someone's bio it's says oh yeah they were gay btw.
4 -
Yeah, this whole thing is so overblown and stupid. It's like they see Dbd as a dating sim or something 😓

I honestly don't get it. I'm surviving or I'm killing why do I care what some imaginary characters sexual preference is lol.
4 -
That's why I think there's been a lot of push back for it. Trying to shove something so unimportant into the spotlight when what drives this game has always been nothing more than the gameplay and the cosmetics. 😋

Honestly i don't get why it matters so much. I just don't want a survivor or killer to be LGBTQ+ for the sake of it, like it has to make sense. I really don't get why it matters so much in this game though, and a lot of the survivor and killers don't have sexual preferences, some do but most don't, its all up to interpretations.
2 -
Yes they have a written backstory, but do you see any off it ingame? The all move the same, the act the same, they make all the same kinds of noises. They are blank shells. In a game like Last Year where the characters interact with eachother I can see a gay character working quite well. I am not against inclusion, but whats the point if all it comes down to is a sentence of text saying "btw he/ she is gay"?

Why do LGBTQ+ survivors need to have a purpose to be LGBTQ+ but heterosexual character don’t need that and can just exist?
no one is asking for every char to get their sexuality or sexual identity revealed. Just not explicit exclusion when there is already heterosexuality included.
3 -
The point is being inclusive instead of explicit exclusive. We have multiple heterosexual relationships in the lore which serve no other purpose. No need to be exclusive when it comes to LGBTQ+.
and the heterosexual relationships where added when the official standpoint of the devs was ‚No sexuality at all‘. Why was there no objection against it then?
1 -
It won't be introduced just "for the sake of it", it will be introduced the same way that Nurse and Felix are mentioned to be in a relationship. Nothing major, just a nod at in the lore.
3 -
There will not be "he is gay." Nurse had husband, Felix had girlfriend, David had girlfriend. We learned all of this on their stories. And this LGBTQ+ survivor and killer will not be different. For example.
Killer: He lost him husband and he felt so alone. And that made him paranoiac.
Survivor: When she caught by Entity, her last thought was about her girlfriend.

Thats not true, dwight has a personality. Hes a coward thats why he hides in lockers. Overbeck is your rough and tough used to be in the military and doesn't give a damn about your bs type personality. Most of the personality for the characters is demonstrated through their story or through the books in game I forgot what they are called lol.
1 -
Those are defined relationships, not defined sexualities.
0 -
The devs have stated they unintentionally included those heterosexual relationships despite them wanting to not mention stuff like that at all.
People are just asking for equal treatment for non-heterosexual relationships. And the devs already agreed they want to be inclusive and apologized for being exclusive before.

Just jumping in on the whole character's having relationships and what not, what about the Legion? In their story wasn't it kinda implied that Frank and Julie were sort of a thing or at least one of them kinda had a thing for the other or something along those lines? I mean we've all gone through highschool at some point in life and remember what it was like being a teenager....just saying <.<

I am straight and we have so much straight characters already. I wanna see LGBTQ+ characters too and charm is not enough.
And i am already happy lol. Wanting different characters makes me sad?

Let me remind you that the game is sold all over the world. But not the whole world lives according to the laws of the Western community. In many countries, the appearance of a character with a non-traditional sexual orientation can be regarded as propaganda, which can lead to scandals and a ban on the game. And this will already lead to an outflow of money from developers and to the frustration of players from those countries where it will be banned.
It would be better for you to imagine that this or that character belongs to the LGBT community and just enjoy the game.

I am going to go ahead and close this up, but I want to remind everyone that no one's identity is political, nor is asking to be represented; people want to be accepted for who they are. Also, in case anyone missed it, here is BHVR's official post in regards to Pride Month, and wanting to create LGBTQIA2S+ characters: https://deadbydaylight.com/en/news/pride-update-2021
