DiscussionSo, Dead by Daylight added a Skinwalker... with a TiM VA
Posted March 15, 2024 by RandomRhino in Games

I will post a Link to a picture of both the skin and the character at the bottom, so bear with me.

So, DBD (Dead By Daylight) added a new character for the Killers, called the unknown, which is sadly not a Willy's Chocolate reference from the Glasgow event. Rather, it is an Amorphous Skinwalker that either changes on what people think of it, or depending on who it killed last. The standard skin is a Male looking one (See Link 1) and, in typical killer monster fashion, quite nice looking!

Then they also added a skin (See Link 2). This is the relevant one. Because this skin was Dubbed by a TiM called "Zoey Alexandria" who allegedly did not know squat about this Killer as he was recording his voicelines.

Now the Internet is on fire and even the TiP and TRA communities can't decide whether this is "finally some good representation" or "horrible transphobia". Comments on average seem to be mostly making fun of the fact that this monster in a skirt looks like the average TiM - and that is not to say ugly rather than abnormal and "not quite right". So this isn't me shading TiM looks, just stating that a Skinwalker just like a TiP will always "not quite look right". Something will be off.

Any thoughts on this? Is this Game Devs coming around, Game Devs accidentally botching it again by trying to be affirmative or something entirely else?

Also Bonus statement made by the TiM VA under Link Number 3!
