Let me explain this so everyone knows that Victor is NOT a baby
Victor is a Siamese twin, meaning he is connected to Charlotte's body, due to Victor being deformed and dying in the lore, Victor looks like a baby, however every character in DBD is over the age of 18
I mean, the part where the woman has a chest cavity at all, and then she carries this thing around like a kangaroo, and then it looks like a sickly baby... the imagery definitely invokes the idea of mother and child, regardless of what the lore says. It's gross to look at, which I don't love, but I also feel like it's kind of uncomfortable to use visuals that make people think about child birth or fetuses or whatever when there's no artistic commentary about any of those ideas.
Like, there are probably people playing this game who've had a miscarriage before. Why not use a different visual design for the same mechanic?
Victor's design as a monster really isn't all that out there, and kicking him is a pretty tame way of killing him comparatively to what other methods have been shown with similar designs. His legs aren't broken, his arms aren't dislocated, his eyes aren't ripped out, all that happens is that he's punted and he crumples.
Also, you mentioned that your little sister was the one who thought Victor was a baby, depending on how little she is she may not even be old enough to play/watch dbd.
Oh don't get me wrong, I totally see your point. When I first saw the killer I assumed mother and child. But, it's a horror game so of course certain characters are going to be distrubing. That's the whole point of horror. To shock and disgust. I mean, look at Dead Space 2 from way back. That game had Necromorphic babies in the Nursery section of the game. There was also the Questline in The Witcher 3 involving the miscaried child of the Baron's wife who became a Botchling and Geralt performs a rite to transform it. It's something done for the shock factor, not to offend someone in any way. And if someone was to be offended, then my only advice would be to maybe step away from the game.
Playing devils advocate here, but by the rationale used here, is everyone also ok with anime characters who are drawn to resemble underage children being in graphic sexual situations because a little bit of text on the back of the book/dvd, or an occasional comment from a character, say that they are 200 years old despite looking 7?
Babies are considered, at most, 12 months old. Toddlers are about 1-3 years. 3-5 is a toddler. So, considering he’s definitely over 5, he’s not a baby. Now, considering the whole aging ordeal, I’d say he his aging. Victor seems to have been brain dead, but not biologically dead. This is why he can still move when resurrected: his muscles haven’t fully decomposed. With his brain shut off, he couldn’t think or move on his own. But his body was being kept alive by the blood flow from Charlotte. Now, I’ll admit The Entity probably helped Victor move and didn’t just resurrect his brain. In short, I think that Victor was indeed alive that whole time, but brain dead.

I've shot so many in Dead Space II, i'm not gonna feel bad for kicking a NOT-baby in DbD.

Blame the cult they casted mori jn Victor. Can't stop him dying plus he respawns So Victor is a pure gamer don't worry
Pathetic
I was just pointing out at the inconsistency. I have no issues with the kicking as it is right now. I'm not going anywhere. Thanks for your concern.
You made me remember an upsetting memory where I never bead DS2 because my PS3 stopped saving and deleted my save
But honestly the babies-looking monsters in DS2 look JUST like Victor and I agree, I am not afraid to send that demonic hellspawn to outer space

keep moving the goalposts it’ll work eventually. 😂
Then don't kick him.

dont like it dont play the game simple
I liked stomping the evil spawn babies (which are called 'The babies') in evil within, so I see no issue here kicking an 300 year old zombie baby
Why does this not have more likes? 😂
I don't think people are genuinely bothered by this. I think they are trolling.
One of the survivors from the silent hill chapter is under-aged, right?
The moral of the story, then, is "Do your research before making conclusions."
The op really needs to step away from gaming for awhile. SMH
Because the double standards must be kept alive.
Screw them kids, even if victor was an actual baby it would still be funny as [BAD WORD]
Is this a troll thread? It can not be serious. It is just too stupid.
just don't think about him as a baby...
should we think about tinny people as kids? no... they are mans/womans...
if a very tinny man want to kill you, you have to defend yourself... bruh
I find it so funny people are getting offended at Victor's nickname.
Plus even if he was a baby the punting animation would still be funny. I'm just sad he doesn't get thrown into the air by it XD

Thank you
I don't remember people getting this angry at the Botchling in Witcher 3. And that was way more obviously supposed to be a baby.
