Dead by Daylight and other Asymmetric Slasher Games - Discuss the games and the autistic/entitled communities around them

Differentiating between mocking and genuine threats would help with people like this, and probably do wonders for good will online. Speaking of differentiating, are you sure you guys aren't projecting, like those politicians who turned out to be gay in spite of campaigning against them?

I know it's a sore spot because of the past couple years, but half the notifications on the front page seem to have been "TRANS". I do admit that this is one of the craziest instances of offending your own, though.

Not projecting here.
Legitimate disgust and revulsion.
 
I'm probably commenting too late for anyone to care, but this kind of incident is proof of everything wrong with woke ideology and the gaming industry.

Because firstly, how the hell could a trans voice actor be asked to do both male and female voices for a single character in a horror game and NOT know what the likely outcome of that was going to be? So obviously the voice actor is lying and just trying to turn the situation to their own advantage.

And whomever at the developer that made this character HAD to know what they were doing and how it was going to look, didn't they? So was this a case of gross stupidity or did some employees actively try to sabotage their woke employer?

And the inevitable reaction of the social justice warriors proves how the entire thing is just a scam to score political points. A woke company that regularly engages in rainbow capitalism was beloved by their fans, until one day they got #canceled for doing the very thing everyone was demanding all along. The cycle cannibalizes it's own people as soon as it determines there is more to be gained from their sacrifice than their contribution.

Harry Potter, Doritos, Bud Light, horror games... it all just shows how the far-left can't keep the deception going forever. It was easy for the activists of the early 2000s to say they just wanted "equality" because they "loved" each other. But with every new letter that wants to jump onboard the 2SLGBTQIA++ train, that sales pitch becomes more obviously exposed as the insane lie it always was.

Imagine being victimized by *checks notes* paid employment.

The studio was probably filled with peals of laughter.

You don't have to censor heck, dude. Your mom won't hear you say it when you type it out. Is this a new tranny reddit behavior? I know they all say "heckin" now because of the weird wholesome movement (really just a way of sanitizing speech to make it pallatable for advertisers wrapped in new-age quirkiness).

Anyway, I love it when companies that hardcore pander to the people of gender end up inadvertently inflicting deep cuts on the people they bend over backwards to include in their brand. DBD was supposed to be a celebration of slasher films and their writing tropes, not a never-ending pride parade.

Given that the Tweet is making fun of troons and using greentext arrows, I'm pretty sure it's ironic. @X Prime is right though, troon Twitter censors words like murder, suicide, pedophile, rape, groom, transphobia, homophobia, etc. More on-topic for the thread, I've even seen this spread into true crime/horror YouTube content which makes the videos read like Unknown lore with all the fucking redactions making it illegible.

Kinda insane the number, not only of faggots, but troons in horror game communities. Especially on asymmetrical multiplayer games. In games like Predator Hunting Grounds I don't played with a fag. But in dbd and ff13 all matches have at least one.
As a big horror fan, I can assure you the hobby has always been a massive gathering place for people who get off on being off-putting freaks. Troonery is just the latest flavor of people coming into the space and making everything about them.
 
Getting paid to gibber and scream like a lunatic sounds like an incredibly fun gig. Also I never knew how ludicrously talented Mike Patton is. Six fucking octaves?!
Yeah, man. He’s a psycho, he can do some very interesting shit. Mr. Bungle/Tomahawk is more of his weirder stuff.
 
  • Agree
Reactions: std::string

Even without the trans VA thing, creating a fucked up crossdressing skinwalker style killer is flying really close to the danger zone.

The backlash won't do anything though. DbD has no competitors. Maybe they just said fuck it we're releasing it knowing that.
 
I actually think stories like this, ironically, lead to censorship. Look at the situation:

White guy voices a character, plays a character, or a white guy character is featured in media?

He could be the good guy, he could be an irredeemable asshat, he could be anyone. It doesn't matter, and no matter what, people won't read too deep into it. This isn't some grand political statement about white men, it's just another character in a story, and we appreciate what they brought to the table, whether we loved the character or enjoyed hating them. A benefit of how carefree audiences are about the treatment of white dudes is that they have the benefit of being capable of being the comic relief, of being the multi-layered character that's super interesting, or of being the flawed anti-hero that audiences love.

Any minority group voices a character, plays a character, or a character is featured in media?

"WuT diD tHE DeVeLOPer mEEN bY tHis!?!"

The moment there's any character flaw or the character isn't a flawless, perfect Mary Sue, some idiot is flipping out and interpreting this to mean the dev is attempting to make a statement about the entire minority group, and that the qualities of that character are intended to reflect the entire group. Devs and creators are then scared shitless of including these minorities, so they go one of two routes:

1) The minorities becoming Mary Sue characters without flaw, people fucking hate these asshats. The media simply fails to sell and audiences pan the product entirely, because it's so fucking boring to watch a show that just repeatedly goes "and wouldn't you know it, the black woman proved how amazing she was YET AGAIN and did absolutely nothing wrong and never had to show any degree of personal growth whatsoever because she's already more perfect than God!" Turns out, character flaws make for engaging and interesting characters, so denying the minorities of this is actually crippling their storylines.

2) Companies nope the fuck out of that dumpster fire and stop including minorities entirely. Good fucking job, asshats. You killed Aunt Jemima. Now none of us have our beloved racial minority pancake aunt because her being black is racist somehow. Now she's dead. RACISM SOLVED!

The irony when our own hypersensitivity towards minority groups is precisely why we have so few likeable minority characters relative to the white dudes...
