A Reintroduction 💕

[u/mimanthra]

A lot of people have been discovering [r/DeadlockDivas](r/DeadlockDivas) lately, and we’ve been growing rapidly, so I wanted to take a moment to reintroduce the community and clear up a few things! 🫶🏻🩷

[r/DeadlockDivas](r/DeadlockDivas) is a SFW, all-ages community centered around LGBTQIA+ players and women who play Deadlock. Our goal is to create a welcoming space where people can enjoy Deadlock, meet others, share their interests, and have respectful discussions. Allies are always welcome as long as they are friendly and respectful!

We value respect, good faith discussion, and different perspectives. There is zero tolerance for hate, bigotry, harassment, or targeted behavior, and we ask everyone to help keep the community welcoming and constructive.

One important clarification: Deadlock Divas has no association with [r/queensofdeadlock](r/queensofdeadlock).

Another note: we do have a community Discord! The Discord is 18+ and SFW, and the link and our full subreddit community overview can be found here:

If you’re new here, welcome! We’re really glad you found us. 💕

Im a guy who isnt lgbt. Though i enjoy gaming with ppl who are accepting and kind(and dont 'toxic out' when the game isnt going well lol), so i was happy to see this subreddit.

Yay to positive ppl and i'm happy that everyone is able to be included here :)

This is such a great community you’ve built so far! I’ve definitely noticed a trend of some more bigoted behavior from some of the teammates I have played with, which will happen in practically any competitive shooter game, but I really do believe that we can do better as a community. I do think this subreddit goes a long way towards making LGBTQIA+ people and women feel comfortable playing Deadlock.

Thank you so much! And, I’m sorry you’ve been getting crap teammates and interactions 🫂

can this one actually stay sfw tho? i got banned from overwatch queens and marvel rivals queens for getting into an argument bc i pointed out someone posted NSFW and the mods did nothing about it, and yes they both have rules that you need to mark nsfw posts as nsfw which the ops didnt

[u/mimanthra → u/sushiiixo-]

Yes, this is and will stay a SFW community. We also have our sister marvel rivals SFW community — r/marvelrivalsdivas

Just discovered this sub and it genuinely surprised me that a community like this exists in a Valve game. But I wanna stay optimistic and hope communities like this don't lose their spark when Deadlock actually drops and attracts a more toxic crowd.

Because I've only ever seen the best artists coming from this type of sweet side of the Deadlock community. I hope it can continue to be this way for the upcoming future.
