It definitely wasn’t forced. One of the things I’ve seen said multiple times online is about how it came out of nowhere, but it didn’t. Just because we weren’t initially told David was gay, doesn’t mean he wasn’t gay. I’m looking forward to seeing what else Behaviour come up with in the future, but I’m personally glad that the first LGBT+ character wasn’t somebody new, because that could have potentially made it seem like that entire chapters identity was solely based on the fact that the survivor is LGBT+ and that’s not what we want. Being part of the LGBT+ community should be normalised and this is a great step in the right direction. Being able to go on a journey of self-discovery with a character many of us already love is amazing in my eyes.
There’s a great quote from a TV show I love called Orphan Black which is “My sexuality's not the most interesting thing about me” - which is a line that’s always stuck with me as it’s so true. Too many people expect members of the LGBT+ community to act and look a certain way and if you dare do something outside of what they would consider the ‘norm’ it blows their mind.
I just honestly find it crazy that some people think that your sexuality dictates who you are as a person when it’s only such a tiny part of your life. The fact companies are still called ‘woke’ for being inclusive is EXACTLY why it’s important for us to keep fighting for representation as showing REAL people in video games, movies and tv shows shouldn’t cause as much backlash as it does.
Sorry for the rant. 😅🧡
Exactly that! (All of it!) It makes me very happy that I picked him as my main years ago and stuck with him.
Now where are those shirtless Davids

just leaving my two cents (pennies?) on the thread to continue the David love

THIS is the exact reason I picked David as my main. I've always resonated with him on some level, and his recent lore really fleshed out his character and made me see a lot of myself in him. And while I can definitely understand why some people would've preferred someone more feminine, I wholeheartedly disagree with the notion that his coming out story was "forced". A lot of people have to go through that denial phase (myself included) and sometimes it takes seeing something like this to make us go "You know what? Maybe this is who I am, and maybe it's not so bad."
I'm sure there will be other queer survivors in the future; representation is something BHVR takes close to heart, they've shown us that much.
Now I may not be from Manchester and quite honestly, I can't even read those quotes without twisting my tongue, but practice makes perfect.
And I'm happy to see so many other David mains, lord knows I don't find enough in my lobbies 💀
See you in the fog 💙
