Does anyone else notice how misogynistic Dead By Daylight is?
Female Killers (ones who have the power and are proactive, not the victim-type survivors) demonstrate it. One of the reasons I can't sympathize with killer mains is because this game doesn't have one that I can embrace playing. It's also one of the reasons I've never played killer (at all, ever, not even in KYF).
Amanda is a wannabee fangirl holding a candle for a dead male frontman, wearing a pig head. The huntress wears a burka, hag plays back to witch burning sympathies, and nurse is also veiled and you can see up her skirt.
The only female killer where you can see her actual face is the old and non-sexual object, the hag. But some of the guys have full on frontal faces (meaning, at least they look like guy's faces). The only time you see a real non-oldanddecrepit female face on a killer that isn't veiled is when Leatherface wears one and then it's stolen from a victim, distorted, and not what a woman actually looks like. (Leatherface has plumber butt when he's carrying you, too. Was that to balance the hag boob? It doesn't cover that plus the nurse skirt).
There are surely plenty of real females who play this game who have noticed. If you have (or are a sympathetic male), then add your voice to mine.
P.S. Though they could add a costume effect where the hag has moss and flowers on her shoulders, etc, and fans will call her a Groot. THEN, I might play killer, just for that, but it's still not what I'm asking for. Nope. Changed my mind. Full-on face on a non-desexed female killer, kicking butt and taking names, then I'll do it. It would scare the crap out of the gamergate types worse than a Myers jumpscare and I'm into that. Anything less and not happening. Besides, survivor maining is still fun (with one heckuva learning curve!)
Question, am I enabling too, by buying and playing this game? Hmm....I play it for therapy anyway. (I know..."play something else"...) I'll figure that out another day. BTW, I am going out of town for the next few days but I'll check out if anyone has any intelligent points to make on this subject when I come back Sunday night.

Forum Moderators, if you are watching this thread, could you please take out comments that get too trolly if this gets any address? I want not only an intelligent discussion, but maybe for the devs to chime in or at least take notice. I would like the quarters to be squared away when the Captains come to inspect them.

You wont play a killer because there is only one female killer without a mask?

I was thinking the same.
Maybe you didn't realise, probably because you don't play killer, but female killers are the most poweful killers of the game (except Pig and with Billy's permission). I don't see your point.

Don't feed the trolls in here, they get cocky!

So by this logic you should also refuse to play the Trapper because he wears a mask, Leatherface because he wears a mask/Face. Freddy wears a hat, can't have him covering his head of hair like that it isn't empowering for men. Mike Myers, guess what, he wears a mask.

Not only that, " Non sexual object " ... are you expecting them to make a killer wielding a dil-do wearing a bikini so you can feel a little better?

But if you don't want to play the Huntress because she has a mask, just like most of the male killers then guess what, nobody cares.

You are just a politically correct moron that tries to see the worst in everything, there is nothing misogynistic about this game but you. Have fun playing a game you detest.
