No arachnophobia planned
Don't have translations so this might not be his exact words and its just a interview, I just saw this on reddit. But if they do do this as a killer (since its a common request) we maybe cannot expect this to come in with them. I assume the same for plague and clown probably as well.

"Mathieu said in a video interview in Québécois"
my brother in christ, its called french.

that got a chuckle from me, but it's not wrong; listen to a Quebecer talk and then a Parisian

I mean its just a different dialect. I myself am Acadien which is still very distinct compared to Quebecois despite both cultures being in neighbouring provinces. But in the end, its still french.

Well they also said they haven’t planned a Spider Killer at all.
And they used to say they will not add a Clown as Killer because Coulrophobia is pretty common.
So… This is pretty much telling is nothing at all.
though it is funny how it’s now a horror Game but when it comes to actual gameplay of atmospheric lighting etc. it’s not important that it’s a Horror game..8 -
Australian English is still English but good luck understanding an Australian dialect and all the slang they use in practically every sentence if you are a standard English as a second language learner.

Honestly, this is good thing. Frankly, phobia modes should only be included in non-horror games. I saw so many people on Twitter demanding an arachnophobia mode because of that, now proven fake, leak of a jurogumo yokai being added - but that's frankly stupid for a horror game. Everything is a phobia, and every killer represents one phobia or another, so adding a mode just for that phobia would be like only accommodating one form of color blindness. It'd simply be babying one set of people while telling everyone else they have to just deal with it.

Ok, but do you point to them saying theyre speaking Australian?

would be like only accommodating one form of color blindness
so.. since the current colorblind mode isnt actually helpful for all kind of colorblindness conditions they should remove it as well?

Can you tell me the timestamp where he says this? I don't speak French but I have been putting parts of the transcript into translators with no success

Wasn't this already established? I feel like this was already alluded to either here or on social media.

There is a major difference between being unsettled and having psychosomatic responses. If you can't understand the foundation of the issue, please research it first before telling people they're not allowed to play "horror" games.
Especially when they're games they've otherwise been playing for longer than a console generation.

Alright, I put the entire transcript of the interview into a translator and found nothing like that. Like please tell me what he said in this interview that even implies this?
Here is what I got translating it:https://pastebin.com/vf9pa19V

These people just don't care about anyone else. I physically cannot see vomiting (even that animated rainbow stuff they do in kids shows) without getting panic attacks or vomiting myself, even gagging makes me incredibly nauseous. This is not something I can control, and should not be punished over for just trying to play a game I enjoy.

Yes. And further to the point, Canada hasn't been a part of France since 1763. Britain didn't travel to Australia until 1788. I say this because Canada not only had longer to distinguish its dialect from France for longer, but it is being intertwined with English, which is exactly what that dialect of French is. Are you and your siblings always identical just because you have the same parents?
2 -
thanks for the history lesson, anyway.
Im not saying theyre identical, Im saying at the end of the day they are still the same language, just spoken slightly differently. Using myself as an example, just because Im Acadian doesnt mean I dont understand people from Quebec or France. As some one who speaks English as well, am I gonna say I speak Canadian? Or go to some one from the states and say they speak American? Of course not, because that sounds stupid. Just call it English and get it over with.
To use that family analogy of yours as well. They may not be identical, but they all share the same blood and name.

I hear people say American English and Australian English all the time. The problem with your statement about Canadian English is that it has very little difference with just normal British English, as does normal American English. The more the dialect influences the language, the more it can be called just the dialect. If the vocabulary is more than just one or two slang words every few sentences and you really need to know the lingo to understand the sentences, yeah I'd say you can just call it as the dialect.
Regarding my family analogy, they have a first name for a reason. You don't call your siblings by their last name, you use their first name. You know, the name that is personal to them?

People should take advantage of a game to face their fears

Never said people can't play horror games, but the horror genre is meant to scare you and make you uncomfortable. A non-horror game having such a thing makes sense, but horror games should never limit what they can do to accommodate phobias. Horror games are a perfect opportunity to overcome your fears without putting yourself in any real danger.
And yes, I'm aware that having a phobia and being colorblind are different, what I did was called an analogy. Essentially, what I was saying was that, if only arachnophobia received a filter, that'd be ignoring every other phobia already shown off in the game - Some of which affect far more people than arachnophobia, actually. That'd be similar to only including an accessibility option to aid one type of colorblindness - we can all agree that would be wrong. By that same token, only catering to the minority of players with arachnophobia while ignoring everyone else's phobias in the game would be wrong.
There are too many phobias to give a filter to, and while arachnophobia is common, it's not even the most common represented in DBD right now. If the more common phobias aren't receiving filters, then arachnophobia shouldn't receive a filter. And if they do give arachnophobia a filter, then they'd have to add a filter for every other phobia.

I'm sorry but thats just an awful take.

Not really, if they need to implement it theyll need to implement filters for clourophobia, hemetophobia, mycophobia, entomophobia and the like, this would be like asking for a doom game where gore is censored. Its fine for other games sure, but a horror game having phobia filters would just be hilarious.

I mean it don't matter to me I'll just never play survivor again lmao. It's great to be a killer player so I can choose what I see.

you do know that some one from Quebec and France can still easily hold a conversation right

Wait................ really?????? /s
I never said they couldn't. But to try and criticize, even as a poor joke, the original tweet because the poster DARED to call the dialect they spoke as the dialect itself makes no sense to me.
It's like calling every car, truck, sedan, coup, and crossover a "vehicle," and getting all bent out of shape because someone called a car a car and a truck a truck. 🤷♀️

Might be a culture thing considering I have never in my life heard some one say they're speak Quebecois. They just say they speak French. Never heard some one say they speak Australian, they just speak English.
Anyway this has nothing to do with DbD and has been a huge waste of time so, au revoir 👋
