Deadlock's first gay male character should have zero attraction to Lash and it upsets him.
Lash: Hey pal, just letting you know I don't swing that wa-
Gay dude: Thank God.
Lash: Wow- okay, wow. Huh.
Ill say it here as this gains traction that I 100% recognize Lash as Bi. The rainbow flag wasnt meant to represent him being gay, or I would've used the MLM flag. It was just to show him being queer in general.
@speepealette @silurias_woe Okay, so by this logic, if it was in the 40s, its very possible that just like the punk movement, the hankercheif code could've existed 30 years earlier. Glad we're on the same page about this 🙏
@speepealette @silurias_woe Its not a "design element" if its a verbal confirmation from the character that they belong to a specific subculture that didnt exist in the 40s. Thats lore. You dont get to just choose to ignore that because of a multi-year old line from early development that set it in the 40s
@silurias_woe The days when this game was supposed to be set in the 40s have long since passed. Theres no current canon timeline. It makes sense that theyre now leaning into a 70s/80s vibe.
@localswaglord__ Its way too perfect, in the exact right spot, in the exact right colour to fit his lore and be super funny to be into fisting as someone who punches people a lot... like theres no way thats an accident.
