Is Jake gay? (Tome spoilers)
I read Jake’s tome lore, and thought it was really good. However, I can’t tell if they intended for us to think he might be gay, or if I’m reading into too much. The quotes that got me thinking were:
”Jake… please… you are expecting a straight thing, and no straight thing has ever been made.”
“And yet his father’s advice did nothing to improve his sense of otherness in relation to the stories and curriculum he was subjected to on an almost daily basis. He still felt like an outsider for lacking interest in the literature and history he was expected to read and memorize as truths undeniable. Seemed like there was a big chunk of perspective missing from the overall narrative being poured into him like concrete that made him feel like he didn’t belong.”
“Maybe the challenge of your generation is… representation. You gotta get your stories out there whether you’re a writer, historian, filmmaker or producer. Seems to me a lot of kids like you in the new country need to hear your story or stories like yours to know they aren’t alone. To know they belong and that they aren’t outsiders in their own home.”
What do you think? Perhaps I’m overthinking but it does seem like gay subtext.

What is not true?
are you denying that Nurse was married to a man and deeply loved him?
OMG you are missing the point, I do not care what gender or sexuak what ever any character is i dont care, opnions are opinion and please dont go off for something you are obvs not reading or getting
Orion no, you jump on these posts are you not getting it through to your head that i am not caring of sexuak what ever in a game character
If you truly don't care then please remove yourself from this conversation because your current stance really makes you seem anti-lgbt representation. Every comment you make seems to cement that you really, really do care actually.
OMG LOL NO
It's not an opinion, it's established canon. It's like arguing that Harry Potter is a 14th century Italian duke as opposed to a British wizard.
I WILL BE BLUNT AND WILL IN CAPS SAY ALL I SAID WAS JAKE CAN BE WHO HE WANTS AND PEOPLE CAN BLIEVE IF HE IS GAY OR WHAT EVER OR THINK AS THEY WISH WITH HIM.
If you don't care, why did you come to this thread on purpose to state that you don't care? Why not just ignore it, which is what people do with things they don't care about?
As soon as anyone mentions anything gay people jump on it
Show me where I "jumped" on you for mentioning something gay, where your own words didn't already make you look like you were against the theory of someone being gay.
what is the big deal?
It's not, you just made it into one because you implied that we either thought it would have an effect on the gameplay or we didn't know it wouldn't have an effect, when we already knew both of those things.
Jake is who the devs say he is. That's how writing works.
Yeah. You are just making false statements and then don’t elaborate on them and keep changing your narrative.
i really tried to discuss this in a normal matter with you but you keep avoiding answering the most basic questions..
I dont need anyones neer about it, is jake gay no, do i care no, do i care about what others think now, no, we have opinions, no, arguing on here isnt worth it, i say and believe my things i dont care about others cos its a constant back and forth is jake care who cares.
Cleaning up and closing this thread up as its become once again argumentative and off topic. Its ok to differ on opinions about something, but please do so in a civil manner that respects others, and their points of view.
And as noted in the Pride update, inclusivity and representation are something being strived for and worked towards, as well as ensuring it is done right; as stated here: https://deadbydaylight.com/en/news/pride-update-2021
