Someone on a dbd fb group tracked the survivors he encountered from his last 500 games, heres some data: Total survivors: 1800. - 540 male Survivors, most popular survivor: Dwight Fairfield with 78 encounters. - 1260 female Survivors, most popular survivor: SABLE WARD with 229 encounters proceeded by FENG MIN with 107 encounters. Notice how Sable ward doubles the 2nd place encounters and almost triples the top 1 male survivor. This should be taken with a grain of salt since it is anecdotal evidence but it really tells you dbd playerbase really be hating on popular survivors.

[@yourpantsfell]

It's not anecdotal, it's actually quantitative data. Anecdotal data is "I feel like I see sable everywhere". So it's a pretty legit study. It's incomplete data because it's only 1 segment of the dbd population but still useful to make some conclusions

Kinda remind me when weirdos on twitter just started drama bysaying The Unknown was behavior being transphobic because this killer has male and female skins, and is voiced by a trans person. And they were saying that "They released a character that is ''''trans'''' and it's an ugly monster. What do they mean by this ?" Which... Is completely stupid considering the amount of other killers which are deformed creatures or straight up monsters like Demogorgon. These people need to get a life instead of spending their limited time on this planet making worthless drama on twitter that ends with artists and voice actors being harassed by... Not very intelligent members of society, to put it nicely.

[@baricode]

I genuinely despise when people will complain about something "nuanced" that doesn't actually exist. It's almost like... The Unknown.... is a monster that takes voices from its victims... and doesn't necessarily have to have a uniform appearance? It's literally in the name, we don't understand what this creature is or why it does these things, it just lures in victims by using the voices of other victims. Them having a male and female form means nothing, it doesn't make it trans and it doesn't make any kind of statement that trans people are monsters, because it isn't trans. Maybe there's an argument for genderfluid but again, it's a monster of unknown origin in a game about fucked up monsters

My only issue is that Mikaela's lore already established her roommate Julian in her backstory as a big supporting figure for her and how *his disappearance* is what motivated the story she told the night the Entity took her. Having Sable suddenly introduced as this character that was apparently always Mikaela's best friend (who was never mentioned before) was a bit odd for me

[@theitalianmexican1035]

It's probably because they didn't have Sable in mind when they originally made Mikaela's backstory, and they decided to make her a part of Mikaela's backstory after the fact. Either way... does it really matter that much? It's not like Sable being Mikaela's friend in the lore affects literally anything. And realistically, who says Mikaela can't have more than one close friend? Maybe Sable wasn't around when Julian got taken and Mikaela stared telling stories.

It’s not like it’s unheard of for game developers to make new characters that have backstories that connect to older characters.

@@theitalianmexican1035 oh no people actually read and care about the lore!? sorry u apparently don't care, but for the community that likes the lore sable is an annoying marry-sue like character that came from left field being shoehorned into Mikaela's (already well established) lore. you can say it shouldn't be odd but from a writing stand point it doesn't make sense and is odd for them to randomly make shit up, they really could have made Sable's lore completely separated from Mikaela's lore and it wouldn't have been an issue. its the fact that they so badly wanted to ruin an older character's lore for the sake of...making the plot not make any sense and worse i guess?

[@xIronwafflexx]

People only hate her, for the same reason they have always hated the most popular characters, and that's because she is one of the most played characters, and most survivors are terrible at the game, so 90% of the time you have a Sable on your team, that player is terrible. Sable is 2016 Claudette. Claudette was so hated, that even after Nea came out and took the number one spot, the Claudette stigma stayed, and it's still a stigma in 2024.

I love Haddie players and I HOPE you guys do get more cosmetics its the same thing I feel for Meg and Zarina but we all have to just wait and see where DBD is willing to spend their time and money.

I like sable and I like how she looks and her lore, my issue with bhvr is I just wish they spread the love of skins, like I play Claudette so I’m not in dire need of skins but idk

[@peppapigsaw9181]

Personally I never hated Sable, I moreso hate how BHVR has handled its first alt character. Sable was designed to be part of the alternative fashion scene. It's very apparent. But as someone in that circle myself, I just view how they did it to be incredibly flawed. She's supposed to be goth yet most of what she offers simply isn't gothic. At all. Her base head cosmetic is more akin to scene than goth, I've never personally seen someone in the alt scene were high top sneakers. The bug cosmetic outfit we have is the closest thing we have to something that is ACTUALLY under that umbrella along with one of the release alternate hairstyles which falls into the trad goth umbrella. Her lore is painfully stereotypical as well. Enjoying graveyards and being obsessed with the occult and spooky movies aren't...parts of being in that community. Many of the people I've met in the community actually don't even like horror movies and I have yet to meet someone who unironically loves the graveyard. It feels stereotypical and kinda condescending imo. The last nail in the coffin for me was the Dev stream where they said they wanted Sable to be goth, but not "too goth" because they didn't want her to be "scary". This to me read as BHVR just not wanting to commit to Sable as a character and instead made her a product. Which sucks. Hating on her because of popularity is stupid. It's a dumb thing to hate a character for. Especially in a moment like this when it's a community contest focused on the talent and skill of those in our community. Even though I don't personally like the Sable skin, I still think the artist is a good artist and that should be acknowledged. This entire situation is wild to me, even as a Sable detractor.

[@bebo4109]

Just letting you know, in her lore it literally says she doesn't label herself. She doesn't call herself goth. It's a super common misconception even in the real world that people mistake alt for goth and she's a prime example of that. That's why I love her personally, she's a alt girlie who doesn't label herself and that feels so close to home for many people, myself included! I understand wanting her to be goth and have this trad or other subculture goth vibe about her but she's not and people push that too much about her imo! She's just alternative, and that works well!

[@peppapigsaw9181]

@@bebo4109 BHVR devs have come out and stated she is meant to be goth. I don't care if she is goth or not. I just think she's poorly written and BHVR wants her to be a product first and a character second.

The most "hate" i have for Sable is the Summer cosmetic (i just don't like it), and an inside joke where i say "you can't trust the Sable in solo queue" because it's ALWAYS the Sable that performs like a Claudette that hides in corners all match in my solo queue games. Idk why.

[@BaconBotVbeta]

i remember one of mintskull's vids pointed out how haddie and gabriel as coloured characters who released during anniversaries were immediately overshadowed by the white thirsttrap original survivors that released after them, being vittorio and sable. nobody bought haddie or gabe's outfits because they sucked hot ass. neither of them had green rarity skins on release (haddie at least got this changed, gabe still doesn't), haddie's purple was a set and gabe's purple was so limiting in terms of mix and match that it may as well have been a set, whereas vito and sable both launched with two green outfits and two unlinked purple outfits. i suppose people look at these two examples and draw the conclusion that sable and vittorio were hand-picked to be popular moneymakers while haddie and gabriel were left to fend for themselves with what little they had. it's almost as if a survivor does better when bhvr gives them a full wardrobe of unlinked cosmetics on release

[@thefluffyaj4119]

literally this. i love gabe so so much but I don't play him because his cosmetics suck So Bad. I really wish he got the haddie treatment of giving him more skins, and giving him good skins. haddie herself still needs more skins but atleast she's gotten more attention after everyone pointed out how awful she was being treated in the cosmetics department

[@ScottJund]

why is haddie still the third least played survivor in the game when she has more cosmetics than sable right now then

[@erwarsa]

​@@ScottJund Have you SEEN the cosmetics they have given haddie??? Fucking FOGCHASER. The reason haddie is the 3rd least picked is beacuse since survivors are basically just skins the outfits they have determine if someone will invest in them. If someone likes two characters but one of them gets nice cosmetics you can mix and match with vs one who's stuff should basically be a set with how un-mixable it is (looking at you gabe) the player is going to go for the character with the better cosmetics simply because people want to look cool or cute in games. And characters like sable and Vitorrio released with 2 greens while characters like haddie and gabe either had to wait or STILL don't have any greens

[@dr.emarald]

​In-terms of full outfits: 1 is a deep rift, 2 are time locked (Halloween and Anniversary), 2 are sets, and a time-locked sweater (I think you forgot some skins are time-locked) So for a character that has been out for 2 years she has 5 full cosmetics (not counting a green re-color), and 2 shirts (iron maiden and a dog shirt). This doesn't lead to good mix-match options. And the internet LOVES their version of "Goth" which sable fits Vittorio who released after her and has 9 cosmetic options, not counting recolors, and has 0 sets, and 2 time locked halloween/christmas shirts If you're new to the game, it just looks like Vittorio has more stuff. This isn't even touching how David, after he was announced as gay, didn't get skins for an entire year, which is incredibly weird when he IS a most played character, and after an announcement. Kinda hard to feel like it's not intentional, especially when Mikaela hasn't not-gotten a skin this year per update. I know BHVR's a business so "release skins for played characters = money," but no one will play the other characters as they fall further and further behind on customizable skins The hate on Sable is a bit much though, and people need to give proper critique's to BHVR's actual skin-line development, more importantly their management. Personally, I don't care, but I head-canon Sable as trans, so to me she is a minority getting cosmetics. I understand that's not canon though

@@christians4139 I agree, but ig it's bc the way I think of it. If everyone thinks like this, it will probably be a forever thing. She doesn't have many now, this might be her only chance to win. Cause as she gets more, everyone will say she doesn't need another. Meaning she'd probably never win. Like mikaela, I know for a fact that barely anyone made a cosmetic for her bc they think she has too many. She's never had one before. But bc she's getting cosmetics from game devs, no one wants her to win. Question becomes, will she ever win? Doesn't seem like it at this point. I really wanna make a cosmetic for her but feel like there's no point if no one wants her to win. The point of the contest is to add something unique that the devs won't think of. My opinion ofc, just how I feel people think. Character gets too many cosmetic, they don't deserve to win. Then that's repeated forever.

Who said you HAVE to vote for something "creative" and "unique"? Something being creative or unique doesn't mean it's inherently good. As much as some people would want to believe it is, fashion/beauty/art is NOT subjective for the most part. There is such a thing as objective beauty.

While I agree, this is mainly only because shes super popular and over represented. Every surv does this, but so many play sable its more obvious.
