Dead By Daylight drops Leatherface cosmetics after reports of harassment against Black players

[TheNogWhisperer]

Excerpt:

Behaviour Interactive, developer of co-op survival horror game Dead By Daylight, has decided to remove certain cosmetics from the game after years of complaints that they were being used in racist harassment against Black players. Announced as part of a developer update, the cosmetics will be removed in a forthcoming patch, and players who have unlocked the cosmetics will be compensated with in-game currency. In its update, Behaviour Interactive wrote:

“Members of the community have shared their experiences with people targeting and harassing them while using some of these masks. These reports were disheartening to hear, and we absolutely condemn this behaviour. We are not comfortable having these masks in the game when they are used as a tool to spread hate. To that end, we will be removing The Cannibal’s unlockable faces in this upcoming Mid-Chapter.”

A safe space to escape the ugliness of this world. Survival horror games are all about peace & love, aren't they? Cannibal zombie slash everything or die... but beware of the face paint or commissaire Trudeau will write you a serious letter.

What an enrichment niggers are. We have to remove humans and their civilization completely to please them, but I am sure that won't be enough for them once we are there.

Shocked by a "black face" in the middle of all that carnage. Sure. How to spot a virtue cuckoo?

Black face 'goalie' masks... 'Jason does Jolson'! It would certainly make hockey seem 'more inclusive'....
