It was looking good up until they disabled it for the Oni fix and now it's screwed again. Getting hit through pallets 100 out of 100 times unless the killer's player lives in the same room as me. The benefit towards high ping players persists and is infuriating.

You could run around objects tightly so he can't jump at you.
Except he can 90% of the time because his hitbox is a truck

Tbh it's a party game and you need to learn to treat it like one in order to play & enjoy the game.
??? That has nothing to do with the issue I described
Like hell anyone's going to enjoy a broken game that punishes them for playing well

The fact that people are gay and black isn't politics? It's just a fact of life, lol.
They can do two things at once. They have a team of writers for lore and a team that balances the game. Chill.

I am available and currently playing if you are still taking volunteers.

you forgot to put sapiosexual and I feel like we need more representation :(
I assume this is a joke, but I did knowingly stick to the most basic sexualities. Babysteps, you know.
Sapiosexual can be a subcategory of any of the basic ones depending on your gender preference, otherwise a subcategory of pansexual if gender doesn't matter.

Plot twist: Ace isn't just his name. :P
You know what I support this idea

I also wanna add that in her lore she's a rebellious teen, so she's dressing punk
I hate that I get triggered by it, but I can't really help it due to my experience. And tbh if I had to pick her sexual orientation it would just be "confused" lol. She is a teen after all, and i've honestly never thought of her character as someone who'd even wanna date because she's too busy being a hooligan
Nea is a teen? 😂 I would've pegged her *at least* at 25 based on her face, haha
But in that case, yeah, at that age you're most likely still figuring things out.

It's fine if they want to allude to more varied sexualities for their characters. But I think allusion is as far it should go.
Yes, we have some context for these characters through their backstories (sometimes expanded upon in The Collection), but remember that all of that was BEFORE they were taken by the Entity. We still can use these details to build estimates of the personality and attitudes that we'd expect for some of these characters, but ultimately who they were beforehand no longer matters.
These characters are relatively blank slates with a few implied personality traits for players to project themselves into. Dwight is not Dwight when you play him, Dwight is you. He's defined as a "Reluctant Leader", but really he's whoever his player is. He can be a sneaky-sneak avoiding capture, or a bold daredevil following the killer around. The Trapper can be a relentless threat, a "friendly" competitor, or absent-minded (a la Samination's animated take on him). They can really be whoever you want them to be (including sexuality), which is an element of inclusivity I fear would be lost upon assigning hard labels to these characters.
Besides, I like to think that the Entity's Realms are the rough equivalent of a multiverse (hence why there can be multiples of one survivor in a trial or many versions of one map). There's no reason why the Dwight that's described through his provided lore has to define every Dwight in the game. There could be a popular Dwight, a gay Dwight, or even a bada** Dwight mixed in among the nervous ones, but no one could know the difference except the person playing him who made that decision. BHVR has given us their take on the character, but every player is still free to apply their own narrative and establish the character as they prefer.
Valid opinion, but with the lore expansion in general, it's a moot point. The devs are already going against this idea you have, making a few characters gay in their canonical origin isn't the issue. For example, a David main who is gay 'is' no longer David in this sense because the devs have already given him a past girlfriend in his lore.
BHVR stated this themselves, they wanted to leave sexualities up to the player, and that was fine, but then they went against that and stated several characters to be straight, so your idea just can't work anymore, whether or not any characters will be confirmed LGBTQ+.

The only ones I have an issue with is David and Nea
David (mentioned above) apparently had a girlfriend, and in a way he strikes me more as Bi or Pan.
Now onto Nea, boy.. idk... It bothers me. Could you maybe add more detail to why you think she is? I've never been girly, always wore grungey looking clothes and never had a great sense of style (Just like Nea I guess), and was called a lesbian so many times when I had a buzz cut. I have no issue with lesbians of course, but being assumed and straight out called one by strangers felt pretty sh*t. So, for my own personal reasons i'd rather believe Nea is straight because I hate people assuming sexuality just because of the way they dress.
You're not wrong! That is indeed an issue and it's one I addressed with Dwight. Nea could very well be straight too and I'm not one to assume she isn't just because of her fashion sense or personality. Many lesbians are tomboys like her (many more are straight, yes!) and I just felt, in his case, it suited her. I wouldn't oppose her being straight because as you implied, fashion sense isn't a foolproof indicator of sexuality. (I'm sorry you've been judged! It's understandable you'd feel that way.)

To go "he's in the closet" when they say he has a girlfriend just to make him be gay is like if they mentioned Meg having girlfriend but say "she was just expirementing" to have her be straight.
That's fair! People do that! I know people who identify as straight and have experimented. It happens, just as gay people pretend to be straight to avoid hate (and in less progressive countries, avoid being imprisoned and/or murdered). I'm all for it.

I dont even understand some of these. Killers are brain washed by the entity to become killing machines. Devoid of emotions only there to torture the survivors and make them suffer. I doubt any of them would have attraction or any basic human needs for love in their brains. These killers having any sexuality besides asexual makes 0 sense.
Yeah, that's what I said at the end. But a few of them surely had attractions before being taken by the entity, I just added them for fun.

i have bad history with LGBTQ things. so all i say is that why? the point of the game is that there is a killer and survivors. the killer kills, not find a girlfriend in the match. playing as legion, i don't think of if the meg is single while chasing her. I think "how long should it take to gauge her eyes out"
just saying, hae no problem with the group. but it is kinda dumb in these situations. don't take this as a hate comment.
I understand, but the devs already wrote straight characters. They detailed their orientations in the lore. Why then is it bothersome to make a few of them gay too? Why is it okay for them to be labeled straight, but not gay? And I'm sorry you've had a bad history with the community.

why the ######### is this a thing? Why do people care so much about the sexuality of characters in a damn game. What does this knowledge do other than fill your own damn fantasies, nothing. Its people like you that give the LGBTQ+ Community a bad name, because you wanna push this ######### onto every single ######### thing that you come across
It's not about fantasy. I understand it's difficult grasp, because as I said (I'm assuming you didn't even read my post) it's about validation, it's about normalizing our existence so that, in the long run, we'll face less discrimination. If every character in every piece of media is straight, we're never going to seem like we exist or SHOULD exist. You can't relate because you are represented to the point of taking it for granted, so please try for a minute to put yourself in our shoes.
The developers already DECIDED FOR THEMSELVES that they want this in their game. I'm just supporting that decision and giving my thoughts about it.
Edit: I see you said you're bisexual, but I'm not surprised. Self-sabotage isn't uncommon, even in the LGBTQ+ community. I understand there are people in our community that are too extreme and do give us a bad name, but I don't think this is it, friend. Asking for people to accept our existence and include it in their media isn't extreme, it's just fair. No one's being forced by gunpoint to be inclusive with their media, we're just asking, we should be allowed to do so without facing even MORE hate, especially not from each other. Wishing you the best.

David's rift lore mentions his girlfriend so if not straight he'd be bi.
Ahh, figures. Bi it is, then. Closet gay might still be an alternative, since gay people will often date out of their preference to seem normal and avoid discrimination.

Oni has a son in his lore, I think he kinda straight
Oops! We'll say straight then :)

So many of y'all are getting your panties in a twist about us wanting a few non-straight characters because iT's JuSt a GaMe and you don't bat an eye when the lore gives them partners of the opposite sex. Hypocrites.
Asking for a few gay characters shouldn't be obnoxious, Jesus Christ. Baffling. Imagine being upset that someone wants their existence acknowledged in fiction...

Posting this does worry me bc you always run into hateful people when you mention anything LGBTQ, especially in large communities, I can only trust there are moderators to take care of it, if not just have faith in this community and its maturity.
