David King from Dead by Daylight is now canonically gay. The rugged boxer of the popular survival horror asymmetric multiplayer game was originally written to be straight. His lore even mentioned he has a girlfriend. Dead by Daylight have a diverse fanbase, and it is noticeable that there is a growing LGBT player base in the community.

To the fans complaining how David can be Gay when he had a girl friend, A lot of Gay men had girl friends before they came out of the closet or realized their sexuality.

Love the irony that the gay character is the most athletic and Physically strong among the original characters. Technically Jill Valentine, Leon Kennedy,Bill Overbeck and Ash are strongest characters in the game because of their experience but they are 3rd party characters.

They Made him Gay because he is popular to the gay fanbase. I saw a lot of fans shipping him to Dwight or Jake.

I think they decided to go for an established character because it will backfire if a new character is introduced as gay,There is a risk the sales won't be satisfactory. So they decided to go for David who is popular.

I was expecting the Gay character to be Ace,Meg or Yui. David is a shocker and unexpected.

 

[Dwight in a Box]

His latest tome looks like a scene from Heartstopper. I that is intentional because heartstopper is popular in Netflix.

Fans who ships him to Kate are in Suicide watch now.
