This is what South Korean community thinks about DbD
Following sentences are from South Korean Community, DbD DCinside Gallery.
I just translated them into English.
There are lots of Korean words hard to understand so no need to check by yourselves.

코로나 터진 데슬 챕터 때부터 제대로 꿀빨다가3주년 사힐 콜라보로 흥겜 가나 했더니아무도 신경 안 쓰던 맵 그래픽 향상시킨다고 뜬금없이 갈아엎지 않나(특히 더 게임은 이 새끼들 진짜 머리에 든 게 없다는 생각 들 정도
Title: "Are there any morons thinking current situation of DbD is pitiful?"
DbD got lucky since Chains of Hate DLC (Deathslinger / Zarina) when Covid-19 was a hot issue.
Player counts increased and average players of March 2020 is nearly 30k which was never the case.
After 3rd anniversary chapter, Silent Hill colaboration, DbD got another chances to succeed.
However, suddenly BHVR announced they will enhance map graphics, "Realm Beyond".
No one cared how maps look like. Players knew the only change needed on maps were balance design.
On January 2021, BHVR released The Game map rework.
Which showed how BHVR are stupid and ignorant of map balance.
Making people wonder if this Realm Beyond is something that players desperately wanted.
There was sudden UI changes that were so bad and worse than before.
And desync problem which made this game's steam review into Mixed or Negative.
Oh also the Clown got meaningless buff and Freddy became worse than before he got reworked.
Then BHVR promoted new killer so hard and he is the Trickster.
Who was an utter garbage when released.
Now what? 4th anniversary, Resident Evil chapter.
Crisis was nothing on DbD and got another chance to keep success.
And guess what? BHVR suddenly renewed survivors model.
Some people liked but some didn't which questions "Are these something that needed?".
Also implemented MMR system in this casual (how BHVR thinks) game.
Literally deteriorating weak killer problems and made balance between S and K worse.
Then Boon appeared. NFT issue was hot.
Deathslinger became fun killer to 'I don't want to play this' killer.
Spirit became deaf (Iron Will buff / Stridor nerf), all green addons became trash.
Killing another killer players. While Nurse and Blight players increased.
And Survivor players complain Nurse and Blight because they can't get easy game on both.
This year, Sadako which is female version of Wraith costs money to buy.
BHVR tries to embrace LGBT community while not giving a single F on game balance.
BHVR is utter incompetent company and deserves failure.
Because they kicked all good chances they had to make this game better and eventually didn't do anything at all.
Imagine the content in this game is either 'repair generator and leave' or 'kill survivors'.
What other gameplay contents do we have? Hmm?
Honestly I am not fond of Crunch thing in game companies but I think BHVR should :)
I feel bad about how bland and boring DbD became but not having a single pity on BHVR.
--
I know there were lots of changes to make certain killers better, make minor perks getting values.
Still the changes come so late nearly as "lazy".
Last thing I want to mention is
"BHVR likes to listen to their communities? Even if they do, do changes come fast?
They must have done things that players wanted, right?"
Comments
I think this is their opinion and not a "bad faith" take. We can disagree with each other but everyone has to be allowed to speak their mind and not have their comments removed because you think its a bad faith comment or simply don't like what they said.
I have no idea how many people think this, I'm sure many do. But this was written by one person and upvoted by a few dozen more. Acting like it somehow represents the South Korean community in its entirety is disingenuous (and that's what the title implies). It would be like taking a post from this forum that has 45 upvotes and acting as if it speaks for all of us
I play a ton of yugioh and uses to play LoL, I love seeing the differences between the Asian mentality and the North American ones. Sometimes we have completely 180 ideas in regards to the meta
Yep! The opinions mentioned in the OP don't represent the entire South Korean community in DBD. Does more than one person in that community share the same opinion? Probably. What matters is the criticism itself and also the fact that a lot of DBD players from other places in the world also share these same views.
making up words to talk the LGBTQ+ community down isn’t „their opinion“ but is actually a „bad faith“ take. And that’s what the comment directly refers to.
They were making a point, a point that required a little discernment to understand. It wasn't a bad faith take. It was their opinion.
No it was a literal dictionary definition bad faith argument
Bad Faith
NOUN
Prove it.
"BAD FAITH: A “Bad Faith” discussion is one in which one or both of the parties has a hidden, unrevealed agenda—often to dominate or coerce the other individual into compliance or acquiescence of some sort—or lacks basic respect for the rights, dignity, or autonomy of the other party. Disrespect for the other party may include dishonesty. A person engaged in bad faith does not accept the other person as s/he is, but demands that s/he change in order to satisfy his/her requirements or to accept his/her will"

Let's look at what the original comment says:
"representing LBGTQIA and pan, flower, binary, hex, dec and which ever else sexuality exists"
Once again, "lacks basic respect for the rights, dignity, or autonomy of the other party".
I'd say making random sexualities/gender identities up out of sheer disrespect constitutes a lack of basic respect for the rights + dignity of LGBT+ people.
They could have easily made the point without making up those words. That was completely unnecessary.
This is why I said before a measure of discernment was needed to understand that they were making a point and not making a bad faith statement. This is your opinion. You didn't prove anything. Perhaps Smuk can speak for themselves instead of you trying to establish intent around their opinion.
Unnecessary? Yea. But to accuse someone of bad faith because you don't like the way they stated their opinion and view on this is also unnecessary.
Indeed; perhaps Smuk may speak for themselves rather than Forums user KateMain86 deciding on their intent for them and talking down to an LGBT+ person (Forums user Marigoria) on a remark which, in the given context, appears to be derogatory and is one made which does not respect the personal autonomy, basic rights, or dignity of LGBT+ people. I'm so glad we agree that random people completely unrelated to the conversation deciding on intent isn't the greatest- maybe next time you'll stay silent, just like you should do on topics with which you don't care, like DBD's lore.
Oh come on, it is crossing a line to talk about the LGBTQ+ Community like that and if it really wasn’t intentional to be in bad faith by Smuk then they can very much say so and apologize for it.
I guess some people need an outlet for all their negative energy. It must be quite tiring
I've been very critical of BHVR in the past and I still am in a bunch of ways but I think some of the OP post and quite a bit of the comments made here are just kinda pathetic
I hate to say it, but it's just a video game made by other human beings.
If you think BHVR is so dreadful for doing XYZ stop giving them your money, or hell stop playing the game altogether - it seems like some people have actually went through with this considering how many people won't stop going on about steamcharts.
Smuk did speak for themselves in the first reply they made. I don't think they need to clarify anything. It wasn't a bad faith take, but I supposed you'll take that as just an opinion anyway. Obviously what they said offended you enough to establish your own intent behind their statement, but that doesn't make it anything more than their opinion.
Also I did clarify my stance on the lore before: https://forum.deadbydaylight.com/en/discussion/comment/2933017/#Comment_2933017
Sure I'm not super into it but it is interesting to learn more about the characters I play the most. I think the game should have more content in it that is lore related. In any given match, the lore has nothing to do with what is going on which is a simple repair generators and open a door.
Considering how anti-LGBT they seem and how they call people morons, I'm not inclined to take them seriously.
Anything less than a knee-jerk reaction of unbridled enthusiasm is a grave travesty and deeply indicative of wrongthink. Let's be honest here, this is more about controlling thoughts and words for the sake of changing voting demographics.
what does that even mean
I've read your post about 3 times now and I can't tell what you're trying to say
I will agree it was unnecessary but I also think its a little too far to assume it was bad faith. Something being unnecessary doesn't mean it has any bigotry behind it. They made their point and we can agree or disagree with it and move on.
This feels like an attempt to distort the definition to what people want it to mean nowadays, the actual definition specifically references arguments made "in bad faith" AKA trolling, making arguments you don't truly stand by, etc.
You can technically make any kind of stance and if you genuinely believe in what you're saying, even if it's garbage, it's not bad faith.
That's because they don't say anything. They double talk and walk back on ideas. They do and don't care.
I'm not even being hyperbolic, it's like a post made by an AI
Talking about voting demographics like ????? wat
sorry but when someone is making an obvious bigoted comment like that I can assume bigotry behind it. If they actually didn’t mean it that way and just weren’t able to articulate themselves better because of language barrier then fair enough - they are free to state so and apologize.
this was more than unnecessary. GoodBoyKaru has told you how it was lacking basic respect in a very clear and objective way.
This may be the first time Pulsar has been ratio'd
But you see it wasn't on obvious bigoted comment. That is your opinion and view on it. I understand that some people are more sensitive about things that are said like this than others but to assume someone said something bigoted because they didn't "use the right words" when making a point is, in my opinion, not fair. Yes you can assume it was because you have your views and opinions. I try to give people the benefit of the doubt unless they've made a clear stance on something.
I am like 99.9 % sure Smuk very much knows flower isn’t a sexuality or part of the LGBTQ+ community and they intentionally put random words there which really doesn’t help making any point other than being disrespectful.
"an attempt to distort the definition"
It literally is the definition.
So you're saying you want old Haddonfield and old The Game? Those changes weren't necessary? To say Trickster hasn't received attention is straight up untrue. The man was arguably the worst killer ever in his PtB and now he's mid-tier. It use to take 8 knives instead of 6 to down people. On low loops its essentially GGs against him unless he messes up. Also Clown's buffs were not useless. Clown can invalidate loops by using both types of bottles. Watch Otz's 50 wins in a row and you'll see him demonstrate that.
Im sorry but most of what you said is completely false. And it's worrying that 10 other people agree with you.
After looking up the definition of "bad faith" this sounds like an opinion to me.
Mooks we both know best friend KateMain86 won't listen to what I say lmao
That seems written by your random super biased killer main crying 24-7 in this forum. It literally says "every survivor wants easy games". Very professional, objective review lol
I listen, but I also disagree with just about everything you say here. But hey we can always agree to disagree when we can't agree on anything. :)
They didn’t make a point with that phrase. It literally only was disrespectful without adding anything.
i agree bigoted may be a word too hard for this, but that’s not even how it started. Someone was just calling out the phrase for being a bad faith phrase. (Also, take your own advice and don’t focus too much on this one word)
I've seen people identify as many different things before. If someone ever did identify as a flower, where would they belong?
…
careful, you are almost showing your true colors.
Literally gave you the definition and the source of it babes.
Well I'm glad I can always count on you to help me from crossing that fine line of bigotry.
Wow a girl takes a Saturday off and we descend into pure argumentativeness in my absence eh?!
Closing this, the amount of bigotry on this thread and pure arguments are not on...remember, we promote inclusivity on this forum as we do in our game.
