Hey Karu, I asked this rhetorically in the previous thread before it was deleted but no one responded. Maybe you'd care to? Just out of curiosity: As a gay man (I think that's what you described yourself as, forgive me if I'm mistaken), I'm wondering: How would YOU design a character that would feel appropriately represents the queer fanbase? Would it be male? Female? Trans? Would their sexuality be a major component of who they are or just a side element that's not really an integral part of the character's story?
I just got to thinking about this because so many people want LGBT representation, which is fine, but it seems that a lot of people don't even necessarily agree on what such representation would look like. I figured I'd ask someone who feels strongly about the subject for their opinion.
You have already and ill answer again using an extract from David's tome lore.
"His ex has moved on and she doesn't want to see his face."
How would I add on lgbt+ representation? "His ex has moved on and he doesn't want to see his face."
Bam.
The character of David King is almost identical- he fought back against his abusive father, was forced to work as a debt collector, has serious anger issues and is a chronic alcoholic in London ever since being thrown off the rugby team. And yet it is definitive LGBT+ representation of at least bisexuality/pansexuality.
You don't even need a clause of "He always knew he'd liked boys" which makes it specifically mlm (men loving men) rep, you can leave it open to be interpreted in whichever way you want, provided it is canon he was in a same-sex relationship and it is implied he still has feelings for the partner.
For trans representation, this I don't know much about. I'm cisgendered and won't pretend to know what I'm talking about on the subject- sorry.
There's another form of representation though, which could also be added in with very little effort needed. Instead of using the pronouns "he/him" or "she/her" to describe someone, use "they/them".
Again, I'm going to use David's lore as an example because it's the one I currently have on hand, but
"His ex has moved on and they don't want to see his face again".
There's also the version of using multiple pronouns (genderfluid) though from reading the forums half of the community would throw a tantrum instead of trying to understand.
If you would like an example of a game that does this very well, look at Apex Legends.

Can't make money off of a health chapter...there ya go right there....gotta shovel out the new killers and survivors every 3 months.
if you think i wouldnt pay a normal chapter price just for them to balance their game and fix bugs then you have sorely underestimated how desperate i am
-
okay
-
Then it's entirely possible that their SBMM was lower than usual, or yours got a lot higher from successful games trying to place you
-
It also raises your SBMM based on you playing other killers. If you've played an awful lot of other killers their base SBMM will be higher than normal.

I agree. As an LGBT+ person, I always have trouble putting my thoughts into coherent words because a part of me is wired to try to understand why this is an argument in the first place and then come to realise no matter how hard I try there is people always willing to go to the tangent to find a way to disagree. Nevertheless, I'm really glad to see some of you here and I feel more understood and I wish I could show more appreciation.

What do killer mains do in the night? It is so suspicious that magically there aren't any on. One has to wonder what nocturnal activities those degenerates are up to. Sleeping for work? Too graphic. They are probably out stalking their irl victims.
I do the opposite. Daytime is for cuddling puppies, nighttime is to slash slash
-
@MegMain98 said:
I waited in killer queues for like 5 minutes yesterday so I assume a mixture of your SBMM ranking and the fact that Pinhead was just releasee could be making your queues longer than normal.
However my nighttime queues were still pretty quick.
I'll be able to test it better when I don't need to be up tomorrow at the crack of dawn, this was just a jokey post about my experience lol
-
@Alphasoul05 said:
Well, luckily games are incredibly quick for the vast majority of the community, also known as the only part that matters. Guess you just have to suck it up and make an alt account like everyone with a higher MMR in other games has to do, or they have to wait too long.
Damn this post was meant to be jokey where'd the aggression come from

@DelsKibara said:
https://forum.deadbydaylight.com/en/discussion/comment/2482090#Comment_2482090
No, you need to play Survivor for that.
In all seriousness, this is a known downside for MMR systems when a game hasn't had one.
Personally, I've been getting instant matches as Killer because I don't really main one and just play them on rotation.
Hopefully in a week I'll be able to play my mains again lol

@ThiccBudhha said:
Very worried? Anything above 5 minutes is not worth queuing for. That is why I left Overwatch.

Sadly this seems to be the only way to solve it. D:
That is one of the issues with SBMM, players who have a Main and are very good with them will have super-long queues.
Guess I'll ✨die✨
-
@YOURFRIEND said:
Everyone wants to try the new killer and perks, so killer queues are gonna be up. Doubt it has anything to do with the matchmaking.
With the same thing happening yesterday I never went upwards of 2 minutes around the same time
-
@Aven_Fallen said:
Seems like you have a high SBMM-Rating. I guess you have to suck it up and wait in a queue for a long time at some point to get beaten down by some tournament squad.
I just wanted to do some dailies but they were for the killers I main ._.

Don't you literally say the game would be better if ugly characters were deleted from the game?

@kaneyboy said:
Feel like it's been turned off again... I'm noticing a lot more hits through pallets again. i thought it was meant to trade either the hit or the stun and not both?
No, it's still entirely possible to get hits through pallets if the server registers the hit before the pallet has been dropped 50% of the way to register a sun.

LITERALLY.
Donning a rainbow ≠ a company or entity understanding or actually working to tackle LGBTQ+ problems.
Like, at least BHVR did charity streams, made donations, actively supports lgbt+ (and bipoc) community members and are working with a charity actively for good representation. Most companies are just "ok June is over back to pretending you don't exist 🥰"

I will sit there and tell you they don't because they HAVEN'T. Your privilege is showing if you think we can just report such incidents to the relevant authorities and have them properly dealt with.
No no you see clearly they aren't biased because during the month of June they made one statement and turned their logo on twitter rainbow and deleted it immidiately on July 1st clewrl they love and support the community and isn't all a PR Stunt 🥺🥺🥺

I literally live in the UK studying law alongside 2 other subjects and my friend is trying to get into the police force, I know what I'm talking about.
I've reported people for common assault. With evidence. They got community service. I've reported others. Some was deemed with no proof, some got more extreme sentences, nobody got above a 2 month sentence (again maximum sentence of 6 months). I know what I'm talking about.
Unlike someone, clearly.

WE DO. NOTHING GETS DONE ABOUT IT???????????
Stop speaking over and invalidating people's experiences with homophobia wtaf
Listening to lgbt+ people talk about homophobia? Overrated.
Make up scenarios in your head using a hypothetical perfect world and use this to debunk anyone's experience in the real world? Stonks.

Well you do understand that's illegal correct? In the civilized world anyways.
You think that stops them? You think the police force aren't biased and take little action? Or there's too much for them to cope with- take New Zealand; @MadLordJack told me about the murder rates of trans women in NZ and how very few get solved despite solving plenty of other murder cases. Wonder why.
-
@OnryosTapeRentals said:
As usual on these forums a thread about an LGBTQ+ topic for LGBTQ+ people to discuss is taken over by thinly veiled homophobic comments and will probably end up locked due to it.
We really can't have anything huh 😐
Nah nah nah we can play bingo in these threads with what we think will appear (im working on a bingo card unironically) and they can't take that away from us

Valuing the opinions of others is your first mistake. Societal Norms have and always will be shakey. This isn't a perfect world, but It could always be worse. In some places It is worse. Not everyone fits into the world the same way and that's just how we are as humans. We're flawed and hateful creatures, and that we always will be.
"Valuing the opinions of others is your first mistake."
Oh I didn't realise that hearing people yell slurs at you often and having you get beaten for your sexuality was a pleasant experience. My bad for valuing the law in certain countries, and policies in others. I apologise for daring to think that maybe people shouldn't be murdered for who they love. Do forgive me for wanting the abhorrent treatment of lgbt+ people changed.
-
It's not about self acceptance, but also the acceptance of others. In an ideal world we wouldn't need it, because people would be free to be themselves, but considering the history of oppression and the fact that it's still discriminated against today means that this is far from the ideal world. Representation isn't just to help people accept themselves but it has a noticable impact on society and can change things.
-
Ah so you want to know why representation is important? Because it normalises and humanises traits of ourselves and allows people to accept themselves. Media plays a prevalent role in this; if you never see someone you can relate to you will inevitably begin to question if you are normal. These questions will be reaffirmed by the people around you, since anto-lgbt+ sentiment is still incredibly popular in the world despite what others claim. Representation is important and can allow people to change their beliefs to become more accepting of others.
How come it becomes so important? Ask that to the slurs, the bullies, the countries where it's illegal and carries penalties of death. Tell the people fighting for eqaul rights and representation- the people wanting to be portrayed and normal people- that they're pathetic for not wishing to be ostracised from society.
Your entire stance seems to be "people can be gay, just don't tell me".

You can project any headcanon you want on these characters. They are not real and cannot make their own decisions.
Not like Dwight and Meg can jump in a locker together. It's a kill or be killed game. None of this matters when someone/something is trying to kill you.
Please refer to my previous comments giving a university dissertation on why it does actually matter

Hey, here's a university dissertation on exactly what it matters!

I don´t know if it´s appropriate to label transwomen/queer people "caricatures" of "real women".
Let´s just appreciate that DBD is making good progress in their quest to include many minorities in their game 💓
1) DBD/BHVR chose the hellraiser licence, like they did for CryptTV, based on the franchise and not specifically for the LGBT+ characters involved.
2) Jackie is a trans woman and said that Bubba isn't trans. Imho she's quite knowledgeable on the whole subject (I'm not) + I trust her judgement since, you know, she's part of it.

I'm bad with words of comfort so here's bunch of pics from a local wildlife rehabilitator. All these cuties were rescued, brought back up to healthy state and will be (or are) released back into wild when ready. Some were brought in on their own but now have buddies/family to head back into wild with.

-
Hm, it depends. If you're definitely sure it's the same person, you can report them to DBD Support but an in-game report would be needed back then to ensure the evidence wasn't doctored and the game did take place.
If it's not on PC and is instead on console, report then to the specific platform where it occurred.
Worth noting chat offences aren't perma bans without several previous warnings and temporary bans.

Well at least docs said that. Dunno if this will help but I got some debilitating health issues two years ago and even tho it can be really tough human bodies are amazing and can endure a lot.
You can get through it you have a strong spirit from what I have seen. And hopefully even recover soon.
Stay strong.
i really appreciate it :)

Correct. Grades do not go down beyond a point.
You can lose pips towards the next grade but cannot lose the grade entirely, unlike ranks. If you are Gold III you cannot return to Gold IV, but can lose progress towards Gold II

Good news! Under the EULA of DBD no refunds of any DLCs or cosmetics can be obtained. The only time a refund has ever been offered is when the Leon + Jill sets were released unlinked

really? Didn’t get that when I solved the box before the actual chainhunt..
i just tried it once when chainring was already active and had to hide in some corner after several misattempts and even then got interrupted 3 times. That was just annoying. And that wasn’t even with the addon that increases the time.
i guess a mini chainhunt wouldn’t be as annoying.
Okay I read the patch notes wrong. If a chain hunt is active then it remains active for whoever has the box. If it activates mid solve then unlucky I guess.
Making it very hard to solve if a hunt is active or activates midway through.
-
@Mooks said:
I guess it’s intended and younger supposed to solve the box before the chainhunt begins. You can also still try to find a closed off spot where you won’t get hit by all chains..
though it does feel a little bit over the top, i agree with that
But they made it so you always get a mini chain hunt active on you if you hold the box...Reading is hard and I cant do it well

This: "Personally I think representation should be a character who isn't defined by one specific trait but many of them together" Is something that I can fully agree on. I'm sick of seeing 1-dimensional characters who exist to fill a representation quota. But with being said, Chatterer is not even close to the representation you are looking for.
He is not human. He holds no human values. There is nothing about him that can be recognisable as human. Saying that he counts as LGBT- etc representation because in his lore he was human once, is like saying that a supermarket in Australia is an Aboriginal business because the land it was built on used to inhabited by them.
At one point it was. But not anymore. The same applies to Chatterer.
I didn't say that he was good representation though, I said that he was better than stereotypes.

Map reworks require all of those things, so if just one is lagging behind...
But the 4th anniversary stream where TRB was first previewed (gens, pallets, badham) said that they had a completely seperate team specifically for updating old content graphically. The gameplay design team was only to assist for changing gameplay, like on Ormond or Yamaoka.
The case could be that all 3 of the remaining maps need gameplay updates and the gameplay team has been busy trying to fix the mess of the resident evil chapter, or they're trying to fix the last 3 in bulk without worsening the optimisation.
