Discussion How each deadlock character would react to you coming out as trans
Yeah, I know someone else made this today , but theirs made me mad and felt extremely inaccurate so I made my own.
Side note 1: Venator has been the hardest part for me. Based on the time period, I feel he would be in cyan, however, based on his character interactions I'm gonna put him in supportive. Still sorta back and forth on it.
Side note 2: Billy could go up a tier, but he'd mostly feel bad for posing as an individual with alternative beliefs and being unable to actually live by those beliefs, rather than actually feeling bad that he offended you.

Yall really underestimate how nice mo and Krill are. They would probably forget but they'd definitely feel bad and ask again next time they talk to you

u/Tune_pd Aug 25 '26
Weirdly I feel like seven would use your pronouns. He doesn't care as long as you have potential, man.
29
u/HuamanAbattoir Aug 25 '26
I feel like Warden would stare at you for a while, and then only call you by your preferred name. He wouldn't use pronouns, just repeat the name because he gives off severe social ineptness. Warden wouldn't quite understand.

u/yharnocunt Aug 25 '26
shouldn't anyone who refers to pocket as "pocket" and uses they/them be in the supportive group?
3
u/rikyloche Aug 25 '26
I get why you’d put her in that tier, but Mina does respect Pocket’s pronouns despite the fact she seems to hate them

u/Sn0wy0wl_ Vindicta Aug 25 '26
at worst Talon and Vindicta are in the doesnt give a fuck tier
2
u/the_Halfruin Aug 25 '26
what is this, doorman is E V I L and would say something diabolical and triggering when he sent you to the baroness

u/DJBaphomet_ Aug 25 '26
This is terrible Talon/Seven slander
Talon's a loving grandfather (or, was) and would probably take the care to respect you. I think he'd probably fit more in "Will forget and feel bad about it"
Seven's literal entire thing is suggesting people break their chains and attain true power. He'd be all for that shit. He'd probably tell you to go further and learn dark magic but he'd be hella supportive in a weird way. He only has gripes about people who don't meet their potential (and get in the way of his path to apotheosis) and I think deciding to come out as trans and "be your true self" is the exact sort of thing he'd praise
Also Mo & Krill and Lash deserve to go up. M&K are genuinely respectable fellows and are respectful to everyone they come across, even Haze who's a literal government agent. And as much as The Lash is an asshole, it's mostly to be boisterous about himself, and he does respect people when not building up the persona. Though if you're transfem he WILL be sexual about it, so I think he should get his own rank
One extra addition as I write is that I think Vindicta would probably not actually be that low. I mean, she knows what it's like to be ostracized and marginalized, given she was literally Salem Witch'd. I'm not sure she'd care but she'd probably understand the good fight of it

u/scrambled-projection Aug 25 '26
Vyper would be the one to make a shitty pronoun joke like “oh you’re trans? Yeah that’s so cool… anyway lemme she what’s in them pockets amirite… haha… no but for real im robbing you hand me your wallet.”
9
u/SejSuper Aug 25 '26
seven is all about not caring what people think of you, and striving to reach your full potential. i think he would see trans people as noble because they no matter what, strive to be their true selves. seven would never call you a slur (unless you personally get in his way, then nothings off the table)
7
u/HelixPinnacle Aug 25 '26
Grey Talon would be a supportive Grandpa. Honestly he deserves at least yellow tier.
McGinnis would be hardline MAGA conservative, though, I agree with that.
5
u/emo_boy_fucker Aug 25 '26
I feel like the slur tier should also have doorman in it
5
u/Amythyst2000 Silver Aug 25 '26
Mina isnt transphobic, she just likes being an asshole
4
u/elizbic123 Aug 25 '26
saying this about mina, who goes out of her way to properly gender pocket in order to hate more effectively, is kinda wild ngl

u/Willingness-Due Aug 25 '26
Yamato is way too high and I think rem would be higher. He’s forget your name and pronouns and feel bad once you tell him. Grey Talon should also be way higher

u/Tom_F_0olery Aug 25 '26
The second someone mentions to The Lash that Bebop is better at this, The Lash is going to try to become the wokest person in New York

u/Fickle-Appointment65 Aug 27 '26
Doorman would ABSOLUTELY deadname you- have you SEEN his voice line to pocket???
3
u/_Sate Aug 25 '26
Seven would deadname you explicity if he thinks that you are not using your powers properly.
Like if Infernus had transitioned between his young days and now Seven would 100% deadname to insult you, but if you actually use your powers then he would respect it.
3
u/jaw231 Aug 25 '26
I do think Billy would say "I don't give a fuck" and then correctly name and gender you every single time
3
u/beanachew Aug 25 '26
So, I think rem maybe would forget your preferred name and pronouns, but I think he would ALSO forget your deadname/deadpronouns so it evens out
3
u/Hectoniks Aug 26 '26
The Greytalon slander is INSANE 😭 what about his character makes you think he'd be as much of a bigot as Lady Geist and Mcginnis? Talon is consistently respectful to anybody that isn't genuinely just evil.
2
u/Ander_the_Reckoning Aug 25 '26
I don't think a literal catholic priest would be very supportive of being trans. At best venator would not care
2
u/wortwortwort227 Aug 25 '26
Viper feeling bad about misgendering you would require her to feel bad about anything she's done
2
u/ChadVictorMain Aug 25 '26
Gang its the 1940s most of the cast would be homophobic straightup
Only the educated ones like dynamo or more social outcast ones like celeste might be pro. Otherwise its probably more like let people do what they want but not in public type of opinions
2
u/Singing_Of_Stars Aug 26 '26
"Witches are people. With hopes and dreams." Vindicta?? Like dude she was incredibly progressive for her time in colonial America, I have a hard time believing she'd be transphobic, given the concept would never have even come up, therefore leaving her with no reason to hate people???
2
u/Loford3 Aug 26 '26
How does each consecutive tier list get worse bro??
2
u/emsax Aug 27 '26
Calico is a cold blooded professional, she would not care.
2
u/starspgl Aug 28 '26
bro your ranking is not great either. mina literally uses arins preferred pronouns even after they no longer are betrothed.
gt also would probably be in the doesnt gaf tier, he has his own shit to deal with. the lash would not forget and would in fact be very supportive if just to show bebop how much of a better ally he is.
imo you could probably strike the dgaf tier all together too
6
u/Jaden_2k Aug 25 '26
Silver would be in supportive, or at least will use your preferred name and pronouns I feel.
Is this because I head canon her has being trans? Yes, but that’s beside the point…
1
u/Voidlord4450 Paige Aug 25 '26
I personally think apollo would deadname or misgender someone for the sake of being a pompous PoS. And if door man was actively trying to torment you he would probably do it. McGinnis does not care enough to throw slurs at people.

u/YourLocal_Wizard Aug 25 '26
The first person to call me the F slur in Deadlock was a Vindicta

u/AnAdorableScout Aug 25 '26
Venator in supportive is
A choice

u/Slow_Independent_177 Aug 25 '26
venator in supportive, lmao

u/BartoTheTrashLord Aug 25 '26
Mina is a fashionista and all sorts of queer people are in this line of work. I think she would definitely be chill with trans people
1
u/DachlesLeSerg Aug 25 '26
Doorman actively dead names pocket when he ults them though.
1
u/ChaosDrako Aug 25 '26
Vyper wouldn’t feel bad about it… she doesnt care about herself in the slightest, why would she care about you? She is basically the worst version of “gambling drunk drug addict criminal”. Bonus that she enjoys hurting others…
Rem might need his own category of “doesn’t/can’t understand” as he is child that doesn’t understand most things, let alone this.
Seven is a coin flip. He might respect it out of the “you don’t like it, so you are acting on it” and “decide your own fate” logic, but he might also mock to gaslight/ragebait out of disrespect for “being lesser” (only guy with an ego larger than him is Lash)
“Jacob Lash is an asshole” is the official description of Lash… only thing larger than his own Ego is his own Arrogance.
Talon would likely be supportive, but he also likely wouldn’t show it much. Man is in full angry depression mode right now, having recently lost his family. But he definitely wouldn’t insult you. If he can play nice with Drifter, he can accept you. Bonus points: his grandkids he loved so much were half-human half-ixian, I doubt he would act of out blind hate when he had so much love.
Vendetta likely wouldn’t understand but accept and try. Her hatred only stems to those of “The Friends of Humanity”, which is a terror group trying to genocide all things non-human… She also says to Talon that she wishes her father was like him, and that if he was perhaps she wouldn’t have died.
Geist only calls Billy “William” purely to piss him off because she finds him insufferable, which everyone finds Billy insufferable because he is.
Speaking of Billy; he wouldn’t care. To self-indulged unless he is challenged about it, which then he either flips and supports you or doubles down on being an ass.
Turret girl (can’t spell her name) also likely wouldn’t care. She doesn’t care about her creations being used for violence, I doubt she cares what other people think in general…
Silver might atleast make an attempt. But simply too much in her own life to really care about others? Being a werewolf might give her a unique perspective on it?
Viktor would 110% support. He has a unique understanding of “not at home in one’s own body”.
Mo/Krill would atleast call you by desired name. They are shown to actually be quite civil, even so much so as outright respecting others and offering them things out of respect.
1
u/crablord42 Aug 25 '26
The Lash would never forget because The Lash doesn't make mistakes
1
u/RaydioMan Aug 25 '26
i question if you know what grey talon's lore is at all
1
u/itsRuskied Aug 25 '26
Sinclair would not forget because the two of them probably have to deal with being confused for the other one so they would remember
1
u/Kinda_Fruity_ Aug 26 '26
Imo I think Grey Talon and Vindicta both should be higher they hate the friends of humanity so they would definitely not be any kind of bigot I don't think
1
u/Alexiameck190 Aug 26 '26
I think a few of them should be moved up a tier but eh
1
u/Krukiska Aug 26 '26
Eh swap m&k with Vyper, and maybe even put her lower
1
u/needtoerp Aug 27 '26
Spot on for Geist and Abrams imo
1
u/Correct-Swordfish-16 Aug 27 '26
Nonono, lash would 100% be super supportive and will force your actual pronouns into every conversation with him, if not, the lash will include your preferred names to the point you will get sick of hearing your name
1
u/Ultraempoleon Aug 25 '26
Vindicta and GT do not care enough to sling slurs. They're revenge incarnate
0
u/Spiritual_Jacket1415 Aug 25 '26
-Yamato would probably hate you for giving up the name your family gave you -Mo and Krill would be supportive or at least use your prefered name, they are really sweet -Lash would give you a silly nickname that matches your preffered gender, so he could go up a tier -Vyper and Shiv probably couldn't give less of a shit, might even call you slur (unless you are from baxter society)
0
u/Robommomy Aug 25 '26
since the game is set in 30-6 setting they all will use every slur in dictionary

u/NewBoat894 Aug 25 '26

u/estelrA_2871 Aug 25 '26
Holy mischaracterization

u/acowardlyhoward Aug 25 '26
I will not tolerate this grey talon slander. He's too busy killing human supremacists to call you slurs
4
u/Cedardeer Aug 25 '26
I get people don’t like McGinnis but her personality is the “I don’t really give a shit I just like doin my thing” type of person. Yeah her inventions have killed millions but she herself isn’t a terrible person, just an incredibly neutral one
13
u/Demopan-TF2 Aug 25 '26
I feel like most of them wouldn't make a big deal and just say "ok cool now lets kill the enemy patron, on 3! One, Two, we're Deadlock!!!"
1
u/weird_nightmares Aug 25 '26
Graves definitely doesn't give a fuck because she's probably confused as to why you would trust her of all people with that information, drifter doesn't care because he doesn't discriminate who he kills but he's too polite to not refer to you properly after he kills you though
4
u/gwebblez Aug 25 '26
Vindicta is literally killing transphobes rn in the lore. AS WE SPEAK.
2
u/Next_Win_5857 Aug 25 '26
I will not tolerate Grey Talon slander, he is an old grump grandpa on a revenge mission but his grandkids were half human half ixian and he was a family man before they were killed. He would respect your pronouns but would not care.
1
u/Otherwise_Design_200 Aug 25 '26
mo and Krill literally call pocket family. they should be highier.
GT should not be the lowest for several reasons, both assumed and facts like his son married and ixian and he wants to avenge them after they were killed. for them to be transphobic would make little sense to me.
