Looks decent.
I'd put Claud & Cheryl to asexual but i think they are not confirmed as well.

I mean if we want to nitpick it's not because someone is in a het relationship that they're straight (could be bi or whatever) but if we're being realistic yeah that's probably right
4 -
For calling someone bi, we should see them interested with both genders which we did not for any of DbD characters. Maybe in future, BHVR can add bi, trans and lesbian characters. I'd support this.
2 -
depends. If a certain character is only seen being with one gender no matter what it is, then it means they are only into the one specific gender. In order to be bi you need to into both. Like steve and claire you can say that they might be bi but they have only shown being interested in the opposite gender. This is just my opinion tho
2 -
I agree with this, but it's not uncommon for fictional characters to only show interest in one or two persons rather than in only one gender as a whole, but regardless I'm aware the creators of these characters probably never even considered them being bi so it's very unlikely they are.

oh boy I'm sure this will go well just like the other threads like this

I think if we ever get more characters that are part of the LGBTQ+ community they'll be newer ones rather than current characters, especially if they're trans or non-binary. However I'd love if they made someone pan then I'd main the hell out of them. But only if it makes sense to :>

new lgbtq characters would be great!

I really don't care too much, but when they go back and change characters for the sake of sexuality it seems VERY disingenuous. Change for the sake of change is always bad imo. Add new characters who can be crafted with their sexuality in mind, not just slap it on to old survivors with no real reason.
Any old survivors who get their sexuality changed/updated will only be to appease the community, not with any real creative/narrative intent.
Again, it wouldn't bother me because of the change itself, just that the I know the change itself only happened because the devs wanted to low effort add lgbtq survivors.
I already regret saying this.

If you mean change a character with an already established / implied sexuality (like Felix) agreed, if you mean "change" because you assume everyone is straight that's a you problem.
(and im also gonna head out before the thread goes bad lol)

I don't assume anything, going back in adding something they never thought of when creating and adding to the lore of a character after so long is not real. That character was never even thought of in that light and any change to them now would only be disingenuous to the community. Many might disagree with me, but if you call claud homosexual for the sake of it after 7 years than yeah, that's dumb.
It was never part of the character, just barely an afterthought.

But they changed David with this way tho. We don't know about most of og characters. Changing Felix will be bad, true. Because we know he is straight, he has girl friend ve he will be father.
Same goes for Frank & Julie, we know they are in love.
But we don't know about Yui, Claud, Haddie, Gabriel etc. If we learn Gabriel is into both genders, it won't be bad change.
0 -
It is not that easy to be honest.
That someone has a girlfriend or even when they become a father does not mean that they are straight. Could be bisexual, for example.
Same with Frank and Julie, if they are in love does not mean that both are straight.
That is the thing, you can only guess, but you wont know for sure. And saying that a reveal of a characters sexuality might be bad because of some backstory is also not really right.
I remember that people were outraged that David is gay because in some Lore he had a girlfriend. But again, having a girlfriend does not mean that you are not gay. There are gay people who were not sure before and tried straight relationships. But this does not make them straight or bisexual.
Not saying anything in particular to you, I just think it would be wrong to consider "changes" to a characters story as "bad".

By that logic, there is no straight characters exists.
Even licensed characters? This just don't make any sense. If they are into opposite gender, they are straight. If they are into both genders, they are bisexual.
I never saw Leon with any boy. He always flirts with girls. He is straight. In Felix's lore, he never into any male character but his gf. I can say someone is bi if i see them are into both genders.
I don't know but i started feel like people just hates when straight characters exists and trying to force them to be bi. This just does not makes sense to me. If i see Felix felt something for another male character in lore, i will accept he is Bi. Not before.
3 -
Your last paragraph is big nonsense (the first part of it). I would delete it.
Regarding to the rest - with licensed characters it is obviously different. This is up to the license holders, if the RE-License holders would never show Leon with a man, it is up to them and you can use that for DBD as well (since it is the same character).
For original Characters, you dont know for sure. You have completely ignored my point about David and applied it to Felix. The "He has a gf" does not mean anything, because there might be Lore in the future which shows that he is indeed also into males.
And IF that might happen, it should not be seen as "bad".
4 -
Then by your logic, David is not gay. He maybe can be bi. Maybe in future BHVR will show him with women again. And this time, he will date actually with women, instead of trying to make his family happy.
And no, i am not deleting anything. I am just saying, straight characters exists as well. Most of world population is straight and realistically most of DbD characters are straight as well. Even we don't know about them.

Then by your logic, David is not gay. He maybe can be bi. Maybe in future BHVR will show him with women again. And this time, he will date actually with women, instead of trying to make his family happy.
No, because BHVR have officially and literally said "David King is gay", while they have never gone on record to officially state the words "Felix Richter is straight". Therefore, it is perfectly okay to speculate and headcanon Felix as bi, or anyone else without a confirmed sexuality for that matter, because it has never been confirmed.
I am just saying, straight characters exists as well.
You actually said that you feel like people are starting to hate straight characters and that people are forcing everyone to be bisexual, which is not the same as saying that straight characters exist as well.
5 -
Just... Why...?
3 -
Nah, David is confirmed as gay while Felix is not confirmed as straight. That means that people might want to think that David is straight, but are 100% wrong on that one. While with Felix, people can think that he is straight or bisexual, nothing is confirmed so far.
(If they confirm him to be straight, fair game, nothing wrong with that in my opinion)
And regarding your statement:
As GoodBoyKaru has stated, there is a difference between saying that you think people are starting to hate straight characters and want them to be bisexual and saying that straight characters exist. I would totally agree on the latter, not on the first.
4 -
I said that because whenever i say this character is straight, it always same respond: They can be bi, you know.
I know bisexual people are exists as well and i want rep for them. But i am just curious who is straight if we go with this logic.
Leon, Claire, Laurie, Chris etc always seen with opposite genders and flirted with them. But then there is always someone is coming: Hey, you know! They can be bi as well. Yes they can. But i never saw them with identical gender.
I am just curious which characters we can call straight, what need to happen?
I hope this does not sound like i don't want LGBT+ characters because i want. But i want straight characters too.
1 -
You can think a character who doesn't have a confirmed sexuality is straight all you want, but that's just a headcanon. It's not because you think they're straight that they are. Just like it's not because someone else thinks they're bi that you're not allowed to think they're straight.
You think a character is straight ? cool
You think a character is straight so people who disagree are wrong and hate straight characters ? Just no, your opinion isn't more valuable than theirs and as long as nothing is confirmed no assumption is right or wrong.
4 -
Gabriel can honestly be anything since technically he is a clone. There could potentially be multiple of him
0 -
So i can call them bi if there is male character which dates with another male character. Unless if they are not confirmed as gay like David's case.
If that's okey to you, then i have no problem with your opinion.
0 -
uh yes ? you're very welcome to assume whatever you want about fictional characters' sexualities who aren't actually labelled.
It's literally the same thing. You think a character is bi ? Good for you. You think they're bi so people who disagree with you are wrong ? still no
1 -
I am not assuming anything actually but alright.
But just in case, straight characters do not need to be revealed. It's not like LGBT+ characters. That's why i am asking which characters we can accept as straights. Because when it comes to LGBT+ characters, it's easy. They are usually revealing by creators. But this is not the case for straight characters.
0 -
"I'm not assuming anything", you literally think characters are straight because you assume they aren't interested in people of the same gender..
Also, straight characters aren't "revealed" because of people like you who decide everyone is straight until proven otherwise. The rest of us got tired of it, which is why we make sure to let you know that actually we don't know their sexuality so they could be bi or whatever and your opinion doesn't actually matter
Anyways i already said i was gonna leave this topic and this time i mean it fr fr ok bye

It's not assume, that's what i saw on them. Steve, Nancy and Jonathan were straight characters on the show. Why i have to assume they maybe can be bi. I just don't get this. Straight characters are not revealing becaue they don't need to do this. It's not like LGBT+ characters where you need to support community and give them some rep.
I did not call all characters straight. That's what you are assuming on me right now. I am just asking fair question but instead of answer, you just decided to attack me. Even i did not say anything wrong.
I am sure some of DbD characters are LGBT+ even they did not revealed. We don't know which of them ofcourse. But they are exists.
But same goes for straight characters as well. Some characters have straight relationships, we saw them in lore. And they did not officially called straight because like i said, straights do not need rep when majority of world is straight already. You can just add straight character into game without revealing them. But you can tell people they are straight with their relationship. That's how it works for straight characters. In other shows and games at least.

I agree with you

“You can think a character who doesn't have a confirmed sexuality is straight all you want, but that's just a headcanon.” Well the characters they mentioned above claire leon chris and laurie they have only been with the opposite sex multiple times so yeah they are straight. Assuming they are bi just because and having 0 evidence of it is dumb imo

Vittorio is a bisexual king he told me himself sorry.

Wasn't Sheva with Carlos? Or am I misremembering?
0 -
I dont think those characters have meet
0 -
It’s hinted Sheva had a thing with Chris Redfield in RE5. Maybe Redfield is who you’re thinking of?

Are we talking about survivor sexuality BEFORE or AFTER being sucked into the fog? I think more than afew of em might have changed their minds after seeing Myers and Huntress.
