Deathslinger should be the first gay killer
I think he's slinging more than death y'know.

This Chatterer disrespect is crazy

I mean, I don't think a child prostitute is great representation
But at least his sexuality isn't a label slapped on like David
7 -
Trickster or one of the Legions could be a better fit. Heck, I see any of them being bisexual.
5 -
Still exists tho

I agree, Its something.
And i guess "Not great representation" might of been to far, he did it to survive

Not trickster?

Let it just be spirit and please the crowd.

Trickster is bi in my head canon.
6 -
I dont think so. Flamboyant villains have had a history in fiction and it brings a wrong idea of queer people. Caleb wouldn't be a bad fit. His presentation would go against the stereotypes.

neat idea but i dont vibe with it 👍️

No

And yet nobody cares
Stop forcing representation of freaking monsters
Next step : "is demogoron trans ?!"

So the human killers are monsters?
1 -
You cared enough to be against it so clearly you care lmao
5 -
Have you read David's full tome lore?
2 -
Beside the topic but which killer except for trickster isn't a monster in DBD? Maybe huntress but that's it, the rest is deformed and mutated by the entity.
Humanoid yes, human no.
At topic, i would prefer wraith (like in the samination animations) or doc (with his rod 😜).
0 -
I think the point they were trying to make is that pretty much all killers except for Demo were human and thus it's perfectly normal for sexuality to be part of their lore, considering they all had normal lives before the entity mutated them.
1 -
And yet you seem to care about sexual behaviour in a game that is about a killer killing people
And if we dont want to see this kind lf content in the game that makes us instantly anti lgbt or smth
Go outside more, really
10 -
Correct I care about good representation, and I own the fact that I care about it. Unlike people like you, that say they don't care before proving just how much they care
3 -
Well yeah that might be correct but i would care even less about the killers sexual orientation than with the survivors because the entity pretty much erases their old self.
Might be interesting for lore fans but completely meaningless for everyone else. And when now someone comes and tells me that they want to identify themselves with or want to be represented in this game by a certain killer then i would guess that this person should get professional help.
3 -
No, i don't care since i never imagined anything sexual about the game
I don't care besause i see charachters for what they are, the fun they bring, not who they are banging
Sexual orientation ISN'T a characteristic or something you define yourselves around. Maybe you do and in that case im very sorry, but most people dont.

"Sexual orientation ISN'T a characteristic or something you define yourselves around. Maybe you do and in that case im very sorry, but most people dont."
Correct, but it is part of the identity of a character, and thus is nifty to include in stories to flesh out a character. Like David King in his new lore, which ties in superbly well to his previously established lore and develops his characteristics further. Literally look at one of the pinned posts on the Forums to know exactly why this matters.
And if you are directly opposed to a thing's inclusion in a game, you do not" not care" about it, because if you didn't care you would not care about potential inclusion.
2 -
I'm confused. Do you have trouble understanding the difference between sexuality and sexual behaviour? Did your parents never give you... You know... The talk? You should probably ask them because it might clear up some misconceptions you have about the difference between sexuality and sexual behaviour.
Well that's entirely subjective. I haven't read the lore at all, that includes Davids lore as well. I just don't really care about the lore, but the fact alone that there are people that care is good enough for me to support the idea.
2 -
Yes because one isn't at all linked to the other. Right.
Im not the one talking about it btw, and all the comment on david being "not gay enough" or all the sexual content that followed make me consider its noyhing of a great deal.
My point remains
1 -
Not sure if making one of the first LGBT characters in DBD a bloodthirsty killer is a good idea. Maybe when more of the survivors come out but not now. I'm hoping for Dwight and Jane next.
0 -
Linked does not equal the same. You implied there's sexual behaviour in this game with the addition of David's sexuality... Only there isn't. Last time I logged on DBD, I still didn't see a David butt naked with another survivor having a good time. So no, your point doesn't stand. You simply made up some random stuff to justify your argument and to mask your homophobia.
But don't worry, your secret is safe with me.
4 -
Oh right here we are, the homo0hobia accusation
Every time, it leads to that because straight people are evil and not wanting to know who's banging who in their free time makes us some kind of monsters
Lets make all characters in this game gay, it wont matter, but there will still be no point and be a freaking useless loss of ressources and time, as is this discussion.
3 -
I mean.. have you ever said anything against heterosexual relationships in the lore and how much you don’t care about it? Or are you just making these statements when it’s related to LGBTQ+ characters?
It’s not about straight people being evil (lol) it’s about people like you who act homophobic (even if it might not even be intentional)
3 -
Never read the lore, never will
Its not an rpg or a stoey focused game, in which, sexual orientation can matter at some point.
It does not in dbd. If it was subtle in the lore and nobody talk about it i wouldnt care less if they were all lgbt
People talking about it non stop, thats what upset me. If people made topic lile "is feng is in love with bill?" I would have the exact same answer
1 -
Read the lore. It being slapped on as a label is only really valid criticism if you view that Tweet on its own but the tome story really makes it a great form of representation (well of course subjective but it still isn’t fair to call that story being slapped on)
5 -
The lore was there from the very beginning and the creators and part of the community clearly care about it.
so if you actually don’t care, then act accordingly. Let other people talk about what they want. It isn’t hard at all. Try it.

- Players then: Is he strong? Is his desgin cool? Is his perks valuable?
- Players now: Is he gay?
4 -
"Are they"*
Dont forget to not misgender
3 -
I see plenty of threads about killer viability/buff-/nerf-suggestions etc as well as perks? But I guess it depends on how much you care about and what you focus on ;)
so much to not caring.
4 -
Nobody? Damn you don’t make up the community, I would love to see representation on the killers end too
You however, I think if you didn’t care you wouldn’t have said anything about it, but you did, so you really do care now do you huh?

The Brokeback Mountain stereotype?

... I'm pretty sure Bubba is non-binary..

Can confirm Bubba is not non-binary.

Mine too.

Or you could make every character bi so people can actually ship who they want 😍🥰

I am honestly a bit shocked that people instaly look at Trickster when talking about a gay killer.
Can't a man be flamboyant and like to wear what he likes and be straight? I mean if not I need to have an unpleasant conversation with my wife.
Not to attack you but the fact that the flamboyant guy came up in your minds when talking about gay people is a testament on how stuck some preconceptions and clichés are. Not to say you guys are some evil homophobs or anything
6 -
Can't a man be flamboyant and like to wear what he likes and be straight?
For real, can we stop with the stereotypes?
2 -
I mean trickster gets that since he is in the game. When he was first released we had a couple of post here of people talking about how they could destroy him because he is not manly enough. Funny enough this guy's mostly had David as Profil Pic and always said David would slap trickster I bet this guy's stopped playing him now
5 -
i wonder if he changed his pfp in the last few weeks haha
0 -
Define flamboyant. Are you wearing the kind of colorful clothing Trickster does along with make up, jewelry etc?
It's not a cliché to think someone who dresses like that is a more likely candidate. Nor is it evil or homophobic. To suspect someone is gay because of their dress sense doesn't mean you are anti gay or a bad person.
4 -
Oh I bet :D
These stereotypes really must end. I see it often enough in real live because I am not the typical man I like to wear "woman" cloth and paint my nails and I get so many stupid looks and comments it's just trying
0 -
Thinking that it's "only natural to assume" someone "like" Trickster is gay, is reducing them to your perceived stereotypes of "what gay is". That's basing your assumptions on stereotypes and cliches, and thinking that this is what gay people are like because of it, is reductively homophobic.

Not make up but jewelry and colorfull stuff even "woman" cloth.
Like I said you are not a bad for thinking that because it is a picture that got painted for a long time and it is a wrong picture atleast in my mind. We need to stop putting preconceived labels on people for how the look and what they wear. Best way is to don't think about the sexuality of anyone if you don't want to engage with them
1 -
why is so hard for people to understand this? "Its not homophobic to decide someone is gay soley on the fact they look and dress like a gay stereotype" is basically the counterpoint and that is "Absolute Bull"
