You clearly haven’t met my 80 year old English teacher who wanted to teach history so bad that every lesson we did was based on spelling of different cultures languages from different periods, but of us wanted him to be our history teacher but we were practically learning two lessons in one with him as our English teacher.
The Entity when trying to convince Caleb to join it and enter the fog, "I can give you a life worth living". Caleb, "piss off." The Entity "... So there is a British guy you can murder again, and aga-" Caleb "Shit that's all you had to say!"
Cool little fact the developers have stated about killers. You can tell how the entity is manipulating its killers by the look of there eyes any killer with glowing eyes don't see the actual survivors but see people they hate. So the deathslinger sees all survivors as bayshaw the warden and anyone who wronged him
Me before the video: Irish cowboy Me during the video: I have now taken into consideration how economy and social differences have been affecting the whole world, as well as, how Caleb's life was destined to be difficult and shaped by others. Me by the end: Irish cowboy

A succinct breakdown as always. Another thing is that he puts a darker spin on the sheriff / lawman who takes in people alive (Lone Ranger, Bass Reeves) by making the figure a bounty hunter who is paid to fill a private prison. Some say prison is meant to reform individuals, but throughout history, and even now, it's a fate worse than death for many. My one issue with the timeline is that Caleb has an add-on dated 1876, but we can account for that with BHVR's inability to do math. He was definitely taken by 1881 at the latest.
Lore like his is one of those that makes me wish for a story type mode. Playing through a killers past, like Huntress killing a group of soldiers, Caleb hunting bounties, I would rather pay for a dlc of this rather than a 15 dollar skin...
That would be the coolest shit ever. Imagine playing as the Oni and demolishing a group of farmers or something! If only BHVR was this passionate about their game to add that sort of thing...
Recently became a Deathslinger main, found out he was irish, put my hand on my heart and took pride in the only Irish killer being one of the best in the game.
I don't think he would have associated that heavily with Irish culture. Frankly, most in the old west didn't. I think Bush just latched onto that because it's a more familiar angle for him.
As an Irish person, I remembered being so excited about Irish rep in DBD. It stung a little that it wasn't a direct rep and had to be through a cowboy, but I'm still so glad to have some foothold in the game
2 years later and I still say. Be grateful, I do see Caleb more as a pure irish rather than anything american. The closest rep I have is in form of the Knight, where he just has the hungarized version of a croatian surname

No, they didn't starve us. The same famine was affecting Britain at the same time, and it was not some across the board racist belief that caused the problems with Ireland, but a poorly thought through policy on the part of the British government that negatively affected Irish and English alike. You can thank Fenian propaganda for skewing the perception of the famine into some ethnic genocide rather than poor poor policy and judgement.

"money's like the drink, once a man has had a real taste of it, he just wants more untill he is a shadowed husk of the man he once was."- Robert E Fernet, 1928, Worcester, Massachusetts
I think that there’s something neglected in all of this, and that’s Caleb’s eager opportunism throughout his entire life, and willingness to freely discard his morality for gain, in much more direct, gruesome, and petty ways than any of his oppressors. This isn’t just a tale of societal trends creating monstrous men, and systems that only breed more misery - it’s a tale of reckless, impulsive ambition, and the consequences of such short-term gains. Caleb is given opportunities to break out of this system entirely, to turn his back on the cycle and move out even further west for a new start, amongst the immigrants and young hearts of the far border. But does he take them? No. Caleb is just as guilty as his masters of vanity and sadism, or pride and lust for superiority, and his refusal to become aware of how far he has fallen is not something that should be excused. The Deathslinger walks a road that he picked for the wrong reasons, reasons that no other man could make him care about. And in the end, the only thing that kept him from becoming even more depraved and cruel than anyone at the top, was the Entity pulling him away, and granting him immunity from the consequences. That’s the wrinkle that makes him compelling - he chose to enable a new generation of exploitation, and threw away his humanity to do so.
Me who is a David and Deathslinger main: Wait that's illegal But seriously, this video is a great exploration of the political themes of Deathslinger's story. I'm glad that you connected it to the real world at the end of the video and did not shy away from the fact that the world that created Caleb is the world we are living in. This video definitely earned my sub.
You know what's funny, a few weeks before deathslinger was announced, I was sketching my own fanmade DBD killer, it was fisherman with a harpoon gun, I thought I was a genius for a minute, then the deathslinger was announced...
Very cool interpretation. Kinda reminds me of Dutch in RDR2: finds himself in the position of being an underdog who will never gain the power and wealth he desires, makes himself an enemy of a rich tycoon (Cornwall) basically just because of a personal grudge, all the while becoming just as dishonorable and shady as the capitalists he purports to hate...
I absolutely loved the outro to the video. Had me howling. As a fellow Englishman it’s sad that we have never really learned or talked about our past with Ireland at school. Everything I’ve learned about the famine, the IRA, why the Irish (quite understandably) dislike the English was all down to my curiosity, research and through meeting Irish people. I find it bizarre that most English people have absolutely no idea that quite a lot of Irish absolutely hate our guts and will most likely never know either.
The UK owns a part of Ireland still and refuses to give it up. Maybe educate people more and maybe fight against letting foreigners into the UK and Irish lands.
This may be one of your best videos. I love that you're not at all afraid of getting political. People in communities like these need to see and understand what's happening around them, and you're doing your part as an "influencer" lmao. Very relevant data, and nice addition of history too. Please, don't get discouraged when the people who disagree with you eventually find this video. There will always be someone by your side, fighting for progress.
I have no reason to fear being political on this channel. So many stories are explicitly political, it would be out of place to not take their messages on board.
@@Gallantmon2011 Agreed To imply that someone is less than a person because of their political beliefs is just, ridiculous, childish, and borderline brainwashed. Everyone is allowed an opinion, even if I disagree with it. I may dislike someone's opinion, but, they're still a fucking person.
Here’s just a little added detail, Caleb’s parents were most likely from Belfast based on the name of the ‘Spirit of Belfast’ weapon which is now the capital city of Northern Ireland :)
As an Irishman, it's refreshing to hear more of the English realising in retrospect that their historical leaders were vile and depraved for their own gains at the cost of their neighbours
man, i absolutely love how thought provoking, in depth and entertainig your channel and videos are, thank you for making such entertaining gems, i can safely say your videos are a highlight of my day
Despite being known to criticise Capitalism a lot myself, I never noticed how REAL Caleb's story was when I first read it. More and more I'm falling in love with these recent killers and the lore they have. I'll do my duty and hunt David players down as the Deathslinger now. Up the RA.
If I may suggest maybe you could do a vid on Ghostie or Michael, and how perfect they are as killers in the eyes of the entity. Like how the entity is starting to manipulate and use new ways to get killers into her realm instead of forcing and using torture and abuse to make the killers obey. The entity is powerful enough to use force to get her way but instead tries to bargain and manipulate. Just a thought I had.
I do want to address one small issue of semantics. Caleb isn't exploited by Capitalisms, he's exploited by Corporatism. A hybrid system of economic/government where the rich and powerful can exert their wealth to exploit others and control policy, which is a corrupt, deconstructed outcome of Capitalism, not inherent to it.
@@cinereus4670 well no. Trading coin for food for example isn’t the same, especially back then. Besides socialism and communism has gotten more people murdered in a hundred years than capitalism has in a century.
I love how this story portrays ideas without saying them. Like the Irish angle with Caleb is so genius because if your knowledgeable in US history, then Caleb's fate should have been clear to you from the moment you started reading. Wish all killer stories were this good.
This video is not only entertaining with its edits but so eloquently put when it comes to the tragedy of killers like the Deathslinger. He was kind of screwed from the start and there would never be a happy ending for him. This is why I really appreciate how he and Zarina are two sides of the same coin. But rather than take the route led by hatred, Zarina tries to defeat the system in her own way, because she knows seeking revenge isn't going to help her, her father, or anyone else being crushed under the boot of... society (lol). If they had their own film, as opposed to going into the Entity's realm, I can see it being a real bummer of a sad story. Speaking of the Batman references, the Joker edits reminded me of a quote from an episode of the Batman animated series, albeit from the Penguin: "I supposed what they say is true: society is to blame. *High* society."
Not gonna lie. As someone who has a large amount of Scottish and Irish blood running through my veins. I gotta admit that his story has made me fall in love with him as a killer. It's nice to see a character that is in some way based on the struggles of my ancestors and the way they were treated.
Just discovered you with this video and since that I love the Deathslinger you really made my day. Luckily, I studied the historical events you mentioned, so it was even more interesting to listen!
My oh my this was great aswell as the intro Are you considering doing videos on other licensed killers like demo or doing an analysis video on the clown? Sorry for sounding annoying.
Thank you for this video. I appreciate that you were willing to take a bold stance and weren't afraid to bring politics into DBD in a way that made sense and is relevant. I think it's an injustice to look at lore in a video game as, nothing more than that, just lore. It's an injustice to not analyze it and see it as an analogy to the real world. You have, ironically, brought that justice to the story of the killer who experienced the most injustice.
The imagery and grittiness of the Deathslinger reminds me of Grindhouse movies. Looking at his Mori supports that in my opinion.. So brutal and graphic. Which is an awesome image for DbD.
I love seeing the editing of a creator get better over time. I love looking at your old videos, though very absent of music, you never failed to keep me hooked on whatever topic you’re passionate about (Like I don’t even play DbD I play DnD :P)
Xtar In that case, look no further than Ned Kelly. Australian bush ranger, son of an Irish convict, and faces similar injustices, only he fought against the corruption of the government
Pixel Bush, your vids and character analysis are most excellent!! The ending for Caleb’s vid was hilarious yet the lending of itself to vengeance was heavy. Absolutely top notch quality content here, and I love it!
I really like that every one of his weapon skins have the emblem "Death to Bayshore" and every time he hits a survivor, he wipes the blood that covers the emblem.
I just had an extremely satisfying game with slinger where I managed to reel in a teabagging survivor while they were standing at the exit line inside the gate... so damn satisfying, so I had to watch this lore video about him lol.
I love the lore of deathslinger. I grew up in a state that still kept the history of cowboys. Although i love John Wayne movies, i learned that the cowboys were ranchers, railroad workers, and immigrants trying to have a better life than their eastern counterparts. It was nice to see a cowboy who wasn't the hero of the story and was a tragic hero. The west wasn't yeee haw and giddy up cowboys. It was a hard journey through the land, which was harsh.
Dude, I just discovered your channel and as a huge DbD lore fan I LOVE your content. Finally someone that focuses on the lore instead of just gameplay or boring balances discussions. Is a video about Clown planned?
i would have to argue specifically with the photo of the hillbilly as an example of how his story is different deathslinger is, is actually probably one of the examples most close to the deathslingers. The only reason the hillbilly was allowed to be treated the way he was, was because of crooked cops, and a system overall that viewed him as a mistake, and marked for that as well. wile obviously not the same to gunslingers, I feel hillbilly too is also created from a system larger than himself, and a personal relationship. Wile there are other killers that are also a light mix, I feel billy due to being visably disabled/disfigured (aka, the way he was born, just like deathslinger) played into the bias and hate of a larger system (the police), makes him almost something quite alike deathslinger. OBVIOUSLY, not the same, slinger is more unique but still
Hey, I was wondering if you could do a deep dive into the lore of Kate. I still don't understand what her archive is supposed to symbolize, but this is by no means an obligation. Love your content, thanks!
id like to think if we lived in the dbd universe, bayshore would be seen as an edison type figure, where most people have now learned what he was really like and hate him
The song at the end gave me a laugh when the David turned up The song is a protest against British rule and the harsh taxation and inability to be elected to political positions by the British The term black and tan is in reference to the British officer uniform not a race thing
I am using a Dead by Daylight lore video to teach my fiance about how discrimination worked in America during the time my ancestors got here. That's a pretty solid accomplishment on your part.
1:16 Me whenever I go to work (yeah my job sucks THAT hard). But, all jokes aside, I always wondered what it would be like to actually have Stephen King's SLEEPWALKERS as two fan-made killers in Dead by Daylight. Of course they both would be called "The Sleepwalker", and we'd be playing either Charles Brady or his mother, Mary. But, what would their perks be, and what weapons should they use? Their powers are still the same as in the movie, and the location is Travis, Indiana. Lastly, the survivor for this chapter is Tanya Robertson.
so what you're telling me is, capitalism = dbd adding killer with a gun? damn, maybe we don't need to seize the means of production after all... in all realness, all this video did was make me wanna play deathslinger, yee-haw carbombs

They recently made a cosmetic for Deathslinger that's a fisherman LOL
You're still a genius, you just have very bad luck.
Very cool interpretation. Kinda reminds me of Dutch in RDR2: finds himself in the position of being an underdog who will never gain the power and wealth he desires, makes himself an enemy of a rich tycoon (Cornwall) basically just because of a personal grudge, all the while becoming just as dishonorable and shady as the capitalists he purports to hate...
I absolutely loved the outro to the video. Had me howling. As a fellow Englishman it’s sad that we have never really learned or talked about our past with Ireland at school. Everything I’ve learned about the famine, the IRA, why the Irish (quite understandably) dislike the English was all down to my curiosity, research and through meeting Irish people. I find it bizarre that most English people have absolutely no idea that quite a lot of Irish absolutely hate our guts and will most likely never know either.
The UK owns a part of Ireland still and refuses to give it up. Maybe educate people more and maybe fight against letting foreigners into the UK and Irish lands.
Great vid as always. Breakdown of mentality, harshness and instability of people that allowed Caleb to become what he has....
Fuck it, Irish cowboy.
Good vid, thanks for that.
This may be one of your best videos. I love that you're not at all afraid of getting political. People in communities like these need to see and understand what's happening around them, and you're doing your part as an "influencer" lmao.
Very relevant data, and nice addition of history too.
Please, don't get discouraged when the people who disagree with you eventually find this video. There will always be someone by your side, fighting for progress.
I have no reason to fear being political on this channel. So many stories are explicitly political, it would be out of place to not take their messages on board.
I don't think that calling conservatives subhumans is "getting political", it is just straight up rude and immature.
@@Gallantmon2011 or... accurate
lel
@@Gallantmon2011 Agreed
To imply that someone is less than a person because of their political beliefs is just, ridiculous, childish, and borderline brainwashed.
Everyone is allowed an opinion, even if I disagree with it. I may dislike someone's opinion, but, they're still a fucking person.
ThatGuyFromThatPlace and so is getting annoyed at a political joke
Here’s just a little added detail, Caleb’s parents were most likely from Belfast based on the name of the ‘Spirit of Belfast’ weapon which is now the capital city of Northern Ireland :)
I just heard the TF2 intro parody and smacked the fuck outta that subscribe button
Playing Deathslinger is Working Class Solidarity. Who knew?
I've really been enjoying your dive into the lore of the game, by the way!
lol going from the emotional Silent Hill episode and instantly hearing Meet the Sniper. Beautiful
As an Irishman, it's refreshing to hear more of the English realising in retrospect that their historical leaders were vile and depraved for their own gains at the cost of their neighbours
DBD Deathslinger Lore: *exists*
PixelBrush: *This says a lot about society.*
man, i absolutely love how thought provoking, in depth and entertainig your channel and videos are, thank you for making such entertaining gems, i can safely say your videos are a highlight of my day
Despite being known to criticise Capitalism a lot myself, I never noticed how REAL Caleb's story was when I first read it. More and more I'm falling in love with these recent killers and the lore they have.
I'll do my duty and hunt David players down as the Deathslinger now. Up the RA.
If I may suggest maybe you could do a vid on Ghostie or Michael, and how perfect they are as killers in the eyes of the entity. Like how the entity is starting to manipulate and use new ways to get killers into her realm instead of forcing and using torture and abuse to make the killers obey. The entity is powerful enough to use force to get her way but instead tries to bargain and manipulate. Just a thought I had.
"the deathslinger?" in my parts, we call him by a far more terrifying name...
*"Funny gun man."*
Not funny gun man!
So you think his gun is funny, heh? 😏😏😏🤣🤣🤣
Every time he says society a joker head pops up lol!
I do want to address one small issue of semantics. Caleb isn't exploited by Capitalisms, he's exploited by Corporatism. A hybrid system of economic/government where the rich and powerful can exert their wealth to exploit others and control policy, which is a corrupt, deconstructed outcome of Capitalism, not inherent to it.
corporatism is capitalism
@@cinereus4670 well no. Trading coin for food for example isn’t the same, especially back then. Besides socialism and communism has gotten more people murdered in a hundred years than capitalism has in a century.
I love how this story portrays ideas without saying them. Like the Irish angle with Caleb is so genius because if your knowledgeable in US history, then Caleb's fate should have been clear to you from the moment you started reading. Wish all killer stories were this good.
This video is not only entertaining with its edits but so eloquently put when it comes to the tragedy of killers like the Deathslinger. He was kind of screwed from the start and there would never be a happy ending for him. This is why I really appreciate how he and Zarina are two sides of the same coin. But rather than take the route led by hatred, Zarina tries to defeat the system in her own way, because she knows seeking revenge isn't going to help her, her father, or anyone else being crushed under the boot of... society (lol). If they had their own film, as opposed to going into the Entity's realm, I can see it being a real bummer of a sad story.
Speaking of the Batman references, the Joker edits reminded me of a quote from an episode of the Batman animated series, albeit from the Penguin: "I supposed what they say is true: society is to blame. *High* society."
This is why Caleb is personally my favorite killer. His story is just so bitter sweet.
Not gonna lie. As someone who has a large amount of Scottish and Irish blood running through my veins. I gotta admit that his story has made me fall in love with him as a killer. It's nice to see a character that is in some way based on the struggles of my ancestors and the way they were treated.
Just discovered you with this video and since that I love the Deathslinger you really made my day. Luckily, I studied the historical events you mentioned, so it was even more interesting to listen!
My oh my this was great aswell as the intro
Are you considering doing videos on other licensed killers like demo or doing an analysis video on the clown? Sorry for sounding annoying.
He'll be getting around to everyone eventually, there is much dbd content to be made
Your not annoying some guy just only said talk guy that’s annoying
Thank you for this video. I appreciate that you were willing to take a bold stance and weren't afraid to bring politics into DBD in a way that made sense and is relevant. I think it's an injustice to look at lore in a video game as, nothing more than that, just lore. It's an injustice to not analyze it and see it as an analogy to the real world. You have, ironically, brought that justice to the story of the killer who experienced the most injustice.
I REALLY want deathslinger to get some tome lore!
Now that was an intro
I've been binging all of your videos, and god your commentary on the chapters and their lore never miss the mark. Great work man!
The imagery and grittiness of the Deathslinger reminds me of Grindhouse movies. Looking at his Mori supports that in my opinion.. So brutal and graphic. Which is an awesome image for DbD.
I read the lore once before watching this, and after watching this, I now know that my main is just Irish Cowboy joker... and I love it
I love seeing the editing of a creator get better over time. I love looking at your old videos, though very absent of music, you never failed to keep me hooked on whatever topic you’re passionate about (Like I don’t even play DbD I play DnD :P)
After seeing that intro I want an Australian deathslinger skin
Xtar In that case, look no further than Ned Kelly. Australian bush ranger, son of an Irish convict, and faces similar injustices, only he fought against the corruption of the government
“Ye, ye I’m a…not a crazed gunman dad I’m an assassin!”
- deathslinger
Pixel Bush, your vids and character analysis are most excellent!! The ending for Caleb’s vid was hilarious yet the lending of itself to vengeance was heavy. Absolutely top notch quality content here, and I love it!
That ending!! Thank you for tying in important issues to history and DBD all in one. Absolutely amazing work.
I really like that every one of his weapon skins have the emblem "Death to Bayshore" and every time he hits a survivor, he wipes the blood that covers the emblem.
I just had an extremely satisfying game with slinger where I managed to reel in a teabagging survivor while they were standing at the exit line inside the gate... so damn satisfying, so I had to watch this lore video about him lol.
David King: Breathes
Caleb: And I took that personally.
The Deathslinger is named Caleb.
BLOOD FLASHBACKS INTENSIFY
Im gonna need that song during your epic Deathslinger shot compliation
Come out You black and tans.
Don't worry, its talking about the British officer uniforms at the time, which were black and tan.
@@hunterlakey1068 thank you!
Great video wonder what character you are going to talk about next, also that outro is 👌
I love the lore of deathslinger. I grew up in a state that still kept the history of cowboys. Although i love John Wayne movies, i learned that the cowboys were ranchers, railroad workers, and immigrants trying to have a better life than their eastern counterparts. It was nice to see a cowboy who wasn't the hero of the story and was a tragic hero. The west wasn't yeee haw and giddy up cowboys. It was a hard journey through the land, which was harsh.
Dude, I just discovered your channel and as a huge DbD lore fan I LOVE your content.
Finally someone that focuses on the lore instead of just gameplay or boring balances discussions. Is a video about Clown planned?
New lore guy upload is always a good time
i would have to argue specifically with the photo of the hillbilly as an example of how his story is different deathslinger is, is actually probably one of the examples most close to the deathslingers. The only reason the hillbilly was allowed to be treated the way he was, was because of crooked cops, and a system overall that viewed him as a mistake, and marked for that as well. wile obviously not the same to gunslingers, I feel hillbilly too is also created from a system larger than himself, and a personal relationship. Wile there are other killers that are also a light mix, I feel billy due to being visably disabled/disfigured (aka, the way he was born, just like deathslinger) played into the bias and hate of a larger system (the police), makes him almost something quite alike deathslinger.
OBVIOUSLY, not the same, slinger is more unique but still
Hey, I was wondering if you could do a deep dive into the lore of Kate. I still don't understand what her archive is supposed to symbolize, but this is by no means an obligation. Love your content, thanks!
man dead by daylight is my favorite apolitical 1v4 slasher sim
id like to think if we lived in the dbd universe, bayshore would be seen as an edison type figure, where most people have now learned what he was really like and hate him
The song at the end gave me a laugh when the David turned up
The song is a protest against British rule and the harsh taxation and inability to be elected to political positions by the British
The term black and tan is in reference to the British officer uniform not a race thing
I am using a Dead by Daylight lore video to teach my fiance about how discrimination worked in America during the time my ancestors got here. That's a pretty solid accomplishment on your part.
I absolutely love this channel, it's been very hard to not binge watch the lore videos
Nice video man! I was in that Coldwind Farm game as Scxddy, what a weird game that was 😂😂.
As an Irishman the history is almost spot on in Ireland
i remember when i started to attempt adept deathslinger... i shit you not, got a game with 2 no mither davids
"Tiocfaidh ár lá"- The Deathslinger
The deathslinger is an IRA king 🥰
Liked for the sole fact you played come out ye Black and Tans
the amount of people who wanted a hitscan huntress scares me
You were honestly more understandable when you said dead dawg saloon than any other time I have heard you speak
I love this content bro. Keep it up!
I now watch for Irish cowboy song.
1:16 Me whenever I go to work (yeah my job sucks THAT hard).
But, all jokes aside, I always wondered what it would be like to actually have Stephen King's SLEEPWALKERS as two fan-made killers in Dead by Daylight. Of course they both would be called "The Sleepwalker", and we'd be playing either Charles Brady or his mother, Mary. But, what would their perks be, and what weapons should they use? Their powers are still the same as in the movie, and the location is Travis, Indiana. Lastly, the survivor for this chapter is Tanya Robertson.
The Deathslinger's backstory would make a fantastic movie.
so what you're telling me is, capitalism = dbd adding killer with a gun? damn, maybe we don't need to seize the means of production after all...
in all realness, all this video did was make me wanna play deathslinger, yee-haw carbombs
Take that America us Irish are the real cowboys ha
I mean. Charlotte wields a sickle. That's a warning that if we have communism, we'll all clip through the floor and stuff
i like caleb man i feel him my ppl knows his ppls pain the native americans and the irish are old friends
Meet the Deathslinger
Outro was god-tier.
How cool/broken would it be if there was a perk that gave deathslinger a scope so that you could really embrace the TF2 sniper meme
This whole video was great.
And then we get a compilation of David abuse XD
deathslinger mains on their way to tunnel british and american survivors for lore accuracy: 18:39
Woah this released on my birthday!! I had no idea lmao
The tf2 meet the sniper at the beginning made me so happy
I love the little jabs at the tories lol
Wish I watched this earlier.
Went from tf2 meme
To Movie worthy lore
To deep reflection on society
To Irish cowboy + David bullying
10/10 vid
Good job with the video! Just to mention the ending looks like my Deathslinger video haha!
I feel like Caleb is the embodiment of the saying "there are times when reasonable men must do unreasonable things."
