Hi all. I was excited when I saw a new Dead by Daylight community was created and I’ve been trying to post daily to get it going. Its not my community, but I would love to have a thriving Dead by Daylight community on the Fediverse.

Some Dead by Daylight game content can be mature in theme, and I marked some posts as NSFW because I thought they might be a bit borderline, but I also noticed those posts I did mark as NSFW saw almost no interaction. Not even from the community owner. I suspect the issue is the NSFW flag and I second guessed and removed it, but I wanted to hear perspectives from others on that. Is violent game content worth marking NSFW? Should I just wait and see if anybody is bothered? Does marking things NSFW limit their growth a great deal?

    No joke I once had someone call the cards from the game “Love Letter” pornographic. A lot of the “they’re making everything sexless” cranks are weirdos so I stay away from those discussions generally, but I do feel like the needle on amount of sexuality it is appropriate to display has moved too far. There are some scantily clad figures in Dead by Daylight, but the issue more commonly from gameplay clips is violence. Particularly the killer moris are pretty graphic

      yeah I consider anything like not x rated for violence as fine which is pretty much anything in movies and games. I mean like I get doing it for really horrific things in war and accidents. I remember the news stories about the woman walking and hit with glass and im glad there was no footage of it.

        Oh man. Outside of all the crazy facist stuff and gun/violence obsession and going way back its a reason I wish I lived someplace else. Our news for a large, liberal city had this piece about a highrise resident upset a neighbor (these are highrises in a city so the neighbor is across a multilane street) walked around naked in his own unit. The piece was like he was doing something wrong but you watch it and you can tell they have the camera right up to the window so its like a person flattening their face to the window to look out at his place. Its like what the hell man there is no way you will see anything if your not out looking for it.
