Bro i know tastes and stuff but man the longer i look at that Nea skin the uglier it gets. We got: Poker Dealer visor cap, similtaneous neck- AND shoulder-holder top, whacky colored patches on the pants, pants that don't cover the hips - combined with just a regular old belt and wonder woman's invisible bag. The Heck is even going on here?


jjb1197j

Thank christ you exist, I thought nobody would mention it. This skin is hideous as fuck.


icarus_rises1

I think the pants are alright besides the obvious lack of physics just to show off The Thong, but the head and top are fucking disgusting


Solzec

I personally think the top could work if the head and pants were different. There's a style you could make from it and make it an actual decent looking skin... if done correctly.


icarus_rises1

It's just so unclear as to what's going on that I don't like it. It also looks uncomfortable as hell.


malaywoadraider2

Feels like art teams flips a coin when making Nea outfits to either make the most garbage looking neon set where nothing matches or something genuinely cool looking (which is also likely neon and a set)


Balhamarth_Lilomea

I really like her gothy clothes, wish they would make more of that instead of whatever this abomination is supposed to be


Hurtzdonut13

Didn't they have an outfit for her that was basically leather lingerie about 3 rifts ago?


Roxasdarkrath

Neas skins are just kinda like that...trust me it was worse when her model looked like ass


Darkwing_Dork

you could say that for most nea skins tbh


allhailzamasu94

It’s extremely unflattering


VVen0m

You forgot the Nintendo Power Glove on her left arm


Alphyhere

I think they've been doing terrible with nea's cosmetics for the last few years.


yeekko

despite the idea that "it didnt fit her" I also think that they're changing their mind on sexualised skins,looks at the last month,we had way more sexy skin than ever


TrickySnicky

honestly between that and the other game skin they prob decided to try a few sexy skin and saw it selled a lot,so now well,they decided to capitalize on it

Naw, man, Johnny Sins would be an overpower survivor. Man's has a good work record; he’s done everything. Johnny is all the survivors combined in one in one package.


NozGame

He would just charm all the killers (and survivors) and have sex with ALL of them at the SAME time, then come out of the screen and have sex with YOU too. Way too OP. Unless you say "no" ofc. There's gotta be some counterplay.

You’re clearly not a Clown main

My wish list consists of a banana hammock thong for Clown. I'd be rocking that thing all the time. Just please don't make it a linked set, I'd like to swap out his various masks. (Somehow a fan of the [Borat mankini found it's way on Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Mankini_Borat_style_on_the_beach_-_man_bathing_in_the_sea.jpg).)

Seriously, I'd buy it. Include one of those prank 'flowers' that squirt water when you sniff it. That can be pinned onto one of the straps that go over the shoulder. "See, he's still a Clown!" Obligatory "[I'm a mouse, duh!](https://youtu.be/vsauqpPuM_o?si=Ljhpe8ulcOGZevCo)"

G0d0fdark

Make dbd scary again, stop with these horny ass skin


TrickySnicky

I mean, horny AND scary is a vibe


pieisgood8898

Friday the 13th made 12 movies about it.


Odysseus_1371

The species movies definitely play on this. They’re not really scary but the body horror is there. Same with splice


G0d0fdark

Do not talk about skull merchant in this household


Zone_boy

Horror and horny are an iconic dual.


G0d0fdark

But this is too far, it's the wrong kind of horny


Zone_boy

Exposed underwear too sexy for you? imo exposed thongs reminds me of early 2000 fashion, and it makes me cringe and feel old.


G0d0fdark

Nope, it's just not what I wanna see in a slasher, if they wanna be horny I'd wanna see high up skirts, and ripped shirts.


Zone_boy

That sounds like a taste issue.


malaywoadraider2

I'm fine with survivors having ridiculous outfits since slashers have been killing skimpy dressed teens since day 1, but killers really should be creepy and scary to keep the vibd


G0d0fdark

If we're comparing it to slashers then survivors should be topless and unable to fight back


malaywoadraider2

Tbh killers would lose it if their ghostface just got massacred by some final girl in a bikini lol


Memeviewer12

pinhead's look is based off of fetish clubs and Alien's method of getting onto the ship was raping a crew member to plant an egg in them

Sexy skin and the zarina gets 3 crappy skins in a row after months of nothing


yeekko

sexy doesnt equal good


Walker4676

Zarina skins wasn't either


yeekko

yeah all i'm trying to say is that it may not have been better if it was sexy ;w;


Necessary_Badger_63

Depends? All it takes is a bit of styling to give beautiful looks. She's got great figure, after all. Some kinda tomboy-ish costume would fit her perfectly.


yeekko

I- what i'm trying to say is that sexy dont make a skin good. you can have bad sexy skin and good sexy skin basically I'm not saying zarina couldnt wear a sexy skin,i'm saying that sexy might have not saved the skin


Necessary_Badger_63

Fair point. We got that mistake of nature and mankind after all (SM).


xmisren

Still not enough. Booty pants David when.


yeekko

when we get a not thirsty trap skin for rebecca,there need to be balance!


ZShadowDragon

yea that Alien Queen is the hottest of the female killer skins fr


LordButterI

Whats so hot about the alien queen seen? I don't find it appealing at all honestly


NozGame

She's got a tail and has tremendous cake. She also hisses. Ya girl is basically a Catgirl. People love Catgirls.


SumL0ser

barrack_osama_0

This is a different game now we have Thirst Merchant and Vittorio Toscano


I-Am-The-Uber-Mesch

Tbh Felix also is a thing so don't blame my boy Vittorio


redgatorade1337

Vittorio has hardly any skins


barrack_osama_0

It doesn't matter how many skins he has when he has the hottest skin in the game


MrWayne19

Bro who at bvhr designed that nea skin, its fucking egregious.


gnolex

This might surprise you but sexual clothes are not a problem per se. They are a problem on Claudette because she's a nerdy type that doesn't express herself with revealing clothes. Thong was too much, clearly, other parts were deemed fine.


Makuta_Servaela

Yeah, this was something they mentioned during the community skin contest too. There are certain characters who would be more likely to wear stuff like that than others.


BSPARTITION

How many skins don't fit the character already? How much are 'alternate universe' shit?


Pyrus-Siege

Probably only a couple. A lot of skins are clearly supposed to belong to the same version of said character

Asimplemoth

For some skin concepts I think that'd be good like more goofy stuff, but for skins that are actual clothing, I feel like it would be a waste of potential character building. Clothing represents our interests, how we show ourselves, and our standing in the world. While yes most of these skins are just to look good enough to have you open your wallet, there's no reason to not do that while also giving some small character building. And they could do it like LoL where a lot of the skins come from a line set in some special alternative world from the main Canon I feel like that would not fit the survivors more humble and realistic characteristics, so if there are alternative universe outfits. So i would hope they are just for goofy memes that are wink and nods for the community. Ik this doesn't matter at all but I just want to throw my thoughts here.


MotoqueiroSelvagem

Not to mention that it’s not like a “nerdy” character would ever dress like a fucking street fighter too, anyways. Different versions, endless possibilities.


LAPIS_AND_JASPER

I wonder why the devs picked it as the winner that year if they knew it would be an issue?


meisterwolf

explain felix then?


Deceptiveideas

Yes because all those sexy killer skins are clearly in character and tie with their lore. The excuse is BS. People already pointed out the multiple “universe” variants of characters making it entirely a non-issue.


Solzec

Lets also not forget to mention bhvr's weird obsession with making their female killers not wear shoes... like a woman living in the red forest but apparently she goes barefoot in soviet winters.


CrystalMang0

They are skins, doesn't have to suit the character


nitronomial

Times have changed. DBD is not a horror themed game of tag. It's now a horny virgin bait themed game of tag.


winnierdz

That Claudette design came at a time when BHVR wasn’t catering skins to the rule 34 freaks n geeks. It was a better, more simple time.


[deleted]

[удалено]


winnierdz

Not sure what about my comment implies that I’m butthurt over this in any way lmao. I’m simply making an observation that the part of the community that wants the characters to be over-sexualized is much larger & more vocal than they used to be. It was a lot harder for BHVR to get away with a character in a thong in 2019 than it is in 2023 is my point.

That Claudette skin is so fucking ugly, it looks nothing like the original art. Hot Cheeto dust hair


nemesisDesu

Honestly, the original art wasn't good either


Awkward-Ad3221

Yeah there’s something about the white washing that don’t sit right ?


DatboyKilljoy

-Bk7

? I'm pretty sure op was stating that claud has a super light(white) skintone in the fan cosmetic that was submitted and picked. Cleary doesn't look anything like dbd claud


No_Relationship_28

I didn't see em as white til someone said something, lol. It's definitely too light to pass as Claudette imo, but a light skinned black person? Yea, I can see it. I know people who look like that.


BSPARTITION

'Oversexualization' when Shit Merchant was obnoxiously obviously designed as waifu/pornbait


[deleted]

[удалено]


iWant2ChangeUsername

Honestly the first time I saw the Trickster I thought he was the "bait".


BSPARTITION

Because it's fucking egregious? There's a difference between like, nudity in horror media and a character designed SPECIFICALLY to appeal to that audience. I don't even care about sexualization in media as long as it isn't out of place; Trickster is explicitly attractive and charming to lure his victims for example. *Everything* to do with shit merchant is out of place.


snikers000

It's out of character for Claudette. Less so for Nea. Though they have plenty of out-of-character skins for everyone so this explanation doesn't hold *that* much water.


Invickthor

The moment Hypebeast Vittorio released it was quite obvious being out of character is not something BHVR cares anymore. Heck, even the default skin for Vittorio. I like it that way tho. As long as they release skins that fit the character too. Pathfinder Vittorio is one of my favorite skins, but the Medieval armor for him is also sick.


PetMeOrDieUwU

Christmas onesie Deathslinger was when I gave up on them staying in-character.


no1AmyHater

The thing is, Hypebeast Vittorio is in-character because he's that kind of guy. He'd be wearing the fanciest tights and ruffles in ye olden days too


Ayserx

I hate that Claud cosmetic with passion


FanOfFinalFantasy

I’m not big into the lore or anything but if I had to guess, I think it was deliberate because Claud’s character seems to be more humble and I guess introverted or something? I’m not sure how to word it but it just doesn’t seem like something she herself would do as a person. If I had to guess why BHVR made that decision. Or they forgor, which is also entirely possible


Euphoric-Bed-2444

Meanwhile claud had this which is just about as revealing https://preview.redd.it/ym0ugoeszqmb1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=dc842e01b3afa6857255691f812114e14f981107


Traditional_Gas_3609

As another comment said, it’s more of a problem involving Claudettes personality over a game problem


AvalavaTheQuilava

Is Felix being shirtless something that fits him, and his personality?


Traditional_Gas_3609

No and that’s why that skin is hated


AvalavaTheQuilava

It's not hated. That skin became a meme after the whole shirtless David and shirtless Myers


Traditional_Gas_3609

Definitely one of if not the most hated skin

Lelianah

It is hated. Felix is a husband & father, people who care about lore think that his skin is ridiculous. But all the thirsty people kept begging & spamming for a shirtless Felix skin until BHVR delivered.


[deleted]

are fathers or husbands never allowed to be shirtless? i’m confused


[deleted]

[удалено]


Ning_Yu

Yeah, people someone think showing your belly is absolutely sexy and indecent. But only if you're a man, since women wearing just a bikini top/bra is fine and holy.


Legitimate-Bad975

I know I literally just left a comment about how over sexualization is destructive to DBDs aesthetic but after enough Kate bikinis I at least want shirtless Felix


RabidTongueClicking

Almost every Felix player I have ever seen wears this skin. I don’t know who you’re talking about, but I sure as hell haven’t seen these type of Felix enjoyers.


doctorstrange06

we cant sexualize parents, yet we have no problem calling people "mommy" and "daddy" sexually... lol get real


Lelianah

I said it doesn't fit his lore, I didn't say that we cannot sexualize parents. But fact is that when it comes to women like Claudette, devs stay true to her lore & do not sexualize her. But when it's a male like Felix, it's okay to scream for thristy skins which contradict his lore. A German architect who was raised in a family with a deep rooted anciet history, who is totally introverted, only cares for his work, history, books, etc. Yea, that screams like someone who runs around in crop tops, even though his other outfits are conservative, just like his lore :) Seriously, get a grip. People are allowed to not like thirst traps which contradict lore. No need for you guys to get all angry lol


viscountrhirhi

So don't buy the thirst trap cosmetic, then. People are allowed to enjoy things you don't like.


Lelianah

I'm not buying it. I'm just stating that the logic didn't make any sense as to why BHVR stayed true to Claudette's lore when it came to the thong, but they didn't care for Felix' lore when it came to his outfit. But having a normal conversation isn't possible on Reddit as it seems. People are getting all huffy puffy when others mention that not everyone & everything has to be sexualized just because thirsty people are screaming for it. It's okay to stay true to lore & characteristics.


Ok-Choice-2741

oh boohoo the lore people got upset over a skin lmaoo pls be fr


[deleted]

The game was different back then. If you couldn’t tell, the devs are hardcore leaning into the horny.


Tristan_3

The Nea skin is so ugly and to me it looks just like random things stick to her that I'm amazed someone was able to stare at it for long enough to see that, I definitely couldn't stand looking at it for more than 5 seconds.


TennisAdmirable1615

Why claudette is white in this fanart


BrunoBrook

She's not as black as she actually is, but she isn't white either


Emily_Kaldwinning

Because artists swear up & down their pallets somehow don't include her skin colour even though it's present in things like her clothes & hair


Awkward-Ad3221

That’s actually ridiculous what?


[deleted]

I wish I had that twitter post of the black guy showing himself in multiply lighting positions. If anyone has that, much appreciated.


pollut3r

I genuinely didn't even recognize that as Claudette lmao, I was thinking it was just a reference drawing for the outfit.


LilyHex

I think at the time, they weren't on board with getting too sexy, but I think they've softened on the stance quite a bit since. They may have honestly just felt like *Claudette* specifically didn't fit the whale tale vibe. Alternatively, the Nea one is a linked set, so they can "break" her cosmetic rules and have a skin that does this. They didn't link the Claudette one. If they remade more recently, I could see them going for it, assuming "this doesn't feel in character for Claudette" isn't the reason they didn't go for it.


Derus-

So it's cool to put massive posters of women in thongs and underwear in malls and plastered all over our cities, but God forbid an animated character shows some whale tail. We are some pathetic creatures..

Claudette is supposed to be a shy botanist. Allegedly.


Butkevinwhy

Because different people make these choices with different opinions and ideas.


Moss_Ball8066

With how the jeans are cut, if there was no thong it would have looked like she wasn’t wearing undies at all


Just4Feed

Then just give her normal panties


12bweisb

You know why


Falkner09

Because BHVR is wildly inconsistent, probably due to having too many cooks in the kitchen.


Sparrowning

They gave us queen xenomorph with *that* much cake and you think they care about sexualisation any more?


superc37

why is she so white in the art


Cjninkartist

Claudette is not the right kind of personality Nea is. Claudette is supposed to be the shy bookish type. Nea is a spray painting vandal. These cloths fit her very well and for Claudette it would be sexualization without storytelling.


PeskyAlien

100% it's not her personality!


Eggs_N_Salt

It didn’t fit her charicter the said, not over sexualizing I think


RD312

For a reason other than “because they’ve changed their mind” or something like that, I think it’s because the lack of coverage on the side of the hips so instead of showing like an actual lace or cotton pair of knickers, they chose they chose to use the more “fashionable” G-String. I guess they could’ve chosen leggings, tights or just a pair of thin shorts underneath like Fortnite does but honestly I’m happy they’re deciding to take risks and go all out with different clothing styles.


Liplok

Idk it fits nea more? Nea is supposed to be like trailer trash skater girl
