Mind you the issue isn't that he played the game, it's that it appeared that the devs themselves, who have built a very diverse community over the years, publicly endorsed and welcomed a guy that is the antithesis of that community to their game. People felt betrayed.
I cannot quote the original post that started it all since DBD chickened out
To the queer community:
There is a serious problem within the queer community (and to a broader extent 'The Left') where you enable weird, rude and unhealthy social behaviour through toxic niceness/conflict avoidance.
How the DBD community reacted to Peanut playing DBD and recieving gifts is frankly... appauling. Childish even.
Gaming is for everyone, DBD is not a gay game, yes horror is heavily ingrained into gay culture but you do not get to claim DBD as your space and gatekeep other gamers out.
You need to hold eachother accountable, not only is it what you should be doing in the first place but it is highly unlikeable. This ride-or-die, Us vs Them mentality where you support eachother no matter what it's regarding needs to stop. It's more narrow minded than a boomer who thinks sexuality is a choice and makes people think our mental faculties are broken... for some I fear they may be right.
Maybe we wouldn't need "safe spaces" in the first place if you weren't a bunch of mentally incompetent tards that consistently does everything in your power to give people a real reason to dislike us. The only hatred I've seen from this whole drama is not coming from Burnt Peanut... it's you.
There is a spot light on DBD right now, not because what they did was wrong, but because of how absolute bonkers parts of the gay community is right now (not just the gaymers).
Sort yourself out.
