So why do we call him "Bubba" instead of "Leatherface?"

I call spirit Rin but between friends we call her "vacuum" because of the obvious similar sound she makes when phasing.

we call him "slinger" because "deathslinger" is a pretty stupid sounding name.

This made me having grossest laugh!
You did good with this post. This one's an instant classic.

i regularly call him that :(
though i personally find Daddy Slinger equally appealing.
besides that very personal example, the most common way i hear people talk about him is by calling him "Slinger", which is equally short.
i guess it just boils down to personal preference in the end.

The fact that it's his name isn't really a good reason, considering we don't call any other Killers by their real names, with the obvious exceptions of Myers, Freddy and Sadako
Actually, because it is his real name is a perfectly valid reason, and you even list other exceptions. Technically his name in the game is not Leatherface, it is The Cannibal. Everyone calls The Hillbilly "Billy", which isn't his real name or game name. There is a familiarity about it. people that know Bubba from the movies use it. Even people that play the game but didn't know his name was Bubba, picked it up too. A lot of people have nick names that their friends and family call them that other people wouldn't recognize, without explanation. Plus, as others have mentioned, it's easier to say and type.

It's not really a valid reason because, as I said, Myers, Freddy and Sadako are known primarily by their real names in media. Leatherface is not commonly known as "Bubba" outside of DBD. If it being their real name truly is valid, why don't we call Pig "Amanda?" Or call Pinhead "Elliot?"

There's a couple times in the Halloween movie that laurie says "The Shape" so i mean Micky is sometimes known by his title

Not really the point here.

You're very.... aggressive about such an innocent topic

Sounds about right, haha

Takes a certain kind of mentality to have like 30 different people give OP the same reason only for them to deny them all as invalid.
I made a comment giving my reasons when the thread first begun. Now we're two days later on page three of the thread, and it's still going.

It's like you didn't even read what I said, and just repeated what you said in the OP. You seem to be trying to make up some naming rules that don't exist. Amanda is called The Pig in the game. That makes "Pig" a valid choice. She doesn't have to be called by her real name just because Bubba is. I don't even think she was called The Pig in the movies, so she was just Amanda. Just like Pinhead was not called Pinhead in the movies. Fans started calling him that and it stuck. He wasn't called Elliot either. Bubba was called Bubba. As I said, it's a matter of familiarity. People familiar with his character call him Bubba. There is no right or wrong in it. People can call him Bubba, people can call him Leatherface, or people can call him The Cannibal. All are valid, there is no wrong option. If you don't want to call him Bubba, you don't have to, but people that do are not wrong in doing so.

Is this an elaborate bait by several users or people are getting tilted over this topic for real?.
Ive seen some odd behaviours (no pun intended) on this forums but I think this is a whole new level of weird.

That wasn't me being aggressive at all. If I were to be even slightly aggressive one more time on these forums, I'd get permanently banned.

Yeah I know Pig was called Amanda in the movies, and that brings the question why we call her Pig in DBD and not Amanda. And it's the same logic towards Leatherface, he is more commonly known as Leatherface. Yes, they do call him Bubba, but Leatherface is what he's more commonly known as. And you're right, Pinhead wasn't called primarily called Pinhead, or Elliot in the movies, he wasn't really referred to by any name, and was nicknamed Pinhead by fans. Elliot was revealed to be his name before being a Cenobite, but only called him that in his pre-Cenobite form. The name "Pinhead" stuck, and he became primarily known as Pinhead, much like how Leatherface is more commonly known as Leatherface. Despite this, we don't actually call him Leatherface in DBD, we instead call him Bubba. But we still call Pinhead by his more popular name, which is Pinhead. That is my whole point here.

We call her Pig because that is the name she goes by in DBD, plus she was in a previous saw movie where she wasn't a killer and didn't dress as a Pig, so it makes sense to separate that Amanda from her Pig persona. Though I think people just like the name Pig better. Tons of people do call Bubba "Leatherface", many call him Bubba, some have said, in this thread, that they call him Cannibal. I, and I am sure many others, use Bubba or Leatherface as the mood suits me. There is no "right" name to refer to him by, or any other character. People use the name they prefer. Again, you are trying to apply some type of rule to how people refer to characters and apply that rule across all characters. Frankly, I don't understand that. Btw, some people, including some streamers, call Pinhead "Cenobite" or "The Cenobite", but that is not nearly as popular as Bubba.
Do you apply these rules to people in real life? A lot of people have nicknames. Do you tell people they can't call them that because their given name is something different? Do you tell people, that call them by their given name, that they can't call them that because their nickname is more popular? Some people use the nickname, some will use their given name. That is how life is. I had a cousin that I grew up calling Rick or Ricky, as did the rest of the family. In my late teens I met some people he had gone to school with. They called him Pat. At first, I didn't even know who they were talking about. It turns out his given name was Patrick, which I didn't know until then. Was the family wrong to call him Rick? Were his friends wrong for calling him Pat? Were we all wrong for not calling him Patrick? The answer to all of those is "NO". There is no wrong, just different. Popularity doesn't enter into it, it is personal preference.

I call him myself: Babu😋

Because people call him all names. Bubba stuck because of many streamers, but it's not like no one calls him LF of Cannibal. As far as I remember, Bubba only became a thing more recently. I don't remember anyone calling him so back then.
And as for Pig: as someone that loves the SAW franchise, I can't remember a single time Amanda was dressed as a Pig. Pig just fits her more: you never see the Amanda people know from the movies, you just see... A pig.
And yes, people call Pinhead Cenobite. I call him Ceno. Idk, it kinda stuck to me better than the name I've heard for years.

And you know what Bubba goes by in DBD? The Cannibal, but we call him Bubba. And yes, Pinhead is sometimes called The Cenobite. However, their in-game Killer name is not the concern here, the concern is what they are commonly known as overall. Michael Myers is commonly known as Michael Myers, so we call him that in DBD. Freddy Krueger is known as Freddy Krueger, so we call him that in DBD. Pinhead is known as Pinhead, so we call him that in DBD. Sadako Yamamura is known as Sadako Yamamura, so we call her that in DBD. Demogorgon being called "Demo" is simply meant to be short for Demogorgon, therefore I do not question that. Leatherface is known as Leatherface, but we call him Bubba.
That is literally my whole point. We call all licensed Killers by what they are most commonly known as, with the sole exception of Leatherface. Yes, sometimes he is called Leatherface in DBD, but I mostly hear people call him Bubba, with Leatherface being a rare thing to hear. I never once said it was "wrong" of us to call him Bubba, and I myself call him Bubba due to everyone else doing so. The point here is solely me wondering why he's the only Killer to not be commonly referred to as the name he's most commonly called in other media, or his in-game Killer name, instead being called Bubba.
Also, your story about your cousin reminded me of "MY NAMES, NOT, RIIIIIIIICK!!!" Similarly to what I said about Demogorgon above, Rick, Ricky, and Pat are all variants of the name Patrick, so, therefore, that's out of the question and not very closely related to my point. Leatherface and Bubba are two very different sounding names.

It seems like you just want to continue to argue this ridiculous subject, just to argue. You don't even appear to be reading the posts, just arguing the same stuff over and over. In the post you just quoted I mentioned that he was called The Cannibal (and that some people call him that), and I mentioned it in previous posts, yet you act like you are informing of it. You don't read, you aren't trying to understand, you just want to argue.
Again, and for the last time, you are trying to apply some naming convention to what characters are called, when no such thing exists. People call people by whatever name they want to call them. It doesn't matter what another character or person is called. Is his name Bubba? Yes, then calling him Bubba is perfectly legit. Tons of people call him Leatherface (which I also already previously mentioned), so you saying that it is rare for people to call him that is disingenuous, at best. You making this an issue is beyond ridiculous. Amanda was not most commonly known as The Pig, but that is what she is called, so your theory is flawed right there, even if it mattered, which it doesn't. How difficult is it to understand that people call someone what they feel like calling them, and it is not for you to decide what they call them?
I'm done, because it is clear that this was not a legitimate question, and you were just trolling How bored you must be.

You got your answers op stop trying to argue over something subjective as a nickname lmao

Note: Pinhead doesn't remember his original name, and quite annoyed by all the mortals who call him 'Pinhead'. Other cenobites don't address him by name, and refer to him by his title - The Hellpriest.

You're right about Pig, however, if you payed attention, I did say "The point here is solely me wondering why he's the only Killer to not be commonly referred to as the name he's most commonly called in other media, or his in-game Killer name, instead being called Bubba."
Pig is her in-game Killer name, hence the reason I am not questioning it.
I am literally not arguing and you're being a bit too hostile about this. I never, ever said it was wrong of us to call him Bubba, nor am I saying we shouldn't. I am simply wondering why we call him Bubba instead of Leatherface, or even perhaps The Cannibal, as I've said several times already. You could've answered with a simple "Because it's easier to say" or something and moved on with it, not started lecturing me on how it's not wrong to call him Bubba, when I never said it was. You're really saying I'm the one who's arguing, when you are the one who started with the arguing.

You:
You could've answered with a simple "Because it's easier to say" or something and moved on with it,
Me (in my first post):
There is a familiarity about it. people that know Bubba from the movies use it.....Plus, as others have mentioned, it's easier to say and type.
So, I did give you a simple answer, including that it is easier to say, which many others also told you. And just like in your previous post you act like it was never said and it was something you came up with on your own. I'm not hostile. If I were, you would have seen a lot of words that were censored. I'm just annoyed that you clearly are not reading what people are saying, or deliberately ignoring what they say to continue arguing. If all you wanted was a simple "it's easier to say" this thread should have ended long ago, since the first response you got covered that. I also gave you other simple answers like "People like the name and want to call him that". It's his name and people like it. It doesn't get much simpler than that, but you just kept arguing.
You:
...not started lecturing me on how it's not wrong to call him Bubba, when I never said it was.
But:
The fact that it's his name isn't really a good reason
And:
It's not really a valid reason because
That is you saying that calling him by his name is not valid. In other words, "Wrong".
if you payed attention, I did say "The point here is solely me wondering why he's the only Killer to not be commonly referred to as the name he's most commonly called in other media, or his in-game Killer name, instead being called Bubba."
And if you paid attention, at all, I addressed that several times. Tons of people refer to him as Leatherface, and most of those also use both. I also pointed out that it doesn't matter what people call the other killers, there are no rules. People use the names they like. And as someone else pointed out, his power is called "Bubba's Chainsaw".
So, you want a simple answer? People like it. No further explanation is needed.

Bubba is a nice name

I think it's very briefly seen in the first Saw, Amanda wears the Pig head when ambushing Dr Lawrence Gordon. It's an apprentice thing.

Not what? I don't recall anyone calling him Pinhead in those movies, nor addressing him by any other name.
My sources are the Clive Barker novels.
