Why even bother!

So I was playing on PS4 playing as the Death Slinger and the map was the badham. And all survivors were on one gen. I chasing them away and Laurie kept getting caught until she was dead hook. I have my messages turn off so only friends can message. The guy made a friend request so he could be toxic towards me. 🤣🤣🤣

    Because they call me killer trash and that I have a red dot on my screen to help me shoot even though that's not true. I wouldn't mind a gg 😁

    Because some people can't have fun without tearing someone down. Them winning or doing well isn't enough for The #########; they need to be sure that you know how bad you are and how much superior that makes them in every way in gaming and in life than you.

    Because they have complete immunity to any realistic repercussion thanks to online anonymity and so hurt and abuse everyone they feel they are better than (or fear may be better than them) to make themselves feel better about their own lives without the issue of 'empathy' getting in the way, a condition that for most people only activates in face-to-face conversation where subtle microexpressions, vocal tones and body language can lead them to subconsciously feel bad about the pain they cause and thereby alter their behaviour to avoid these uncomfortable feelings of guilt from being triggered. Or, if they happen to be capable of emotional distancing (a terrifying prospect) they would be subjected to social repercussions that are similarly unpleasant to feelings of guilt.

    But I dunno, I don't understand how people work. Maybe they would be that toxic IRL. Who cares, you're clearly better than them.

    People have fragile ego, forget them and move on is my suggestion.

    I always send a gg, I think when playing survivor we could all do better sending the killers gg. Most just get salty messages and many, in m experience, really appreciate getting a gg.

    Something to think about!

    Toxicity is pretty much the norm with this game, and it's a sad fact that it is really. I had a match earlier on PS4 as Hag where I managed to mori the entire team via Devour Hope. The response was extremely colorful to say the least. Too many survivors have the mentality that they must win 100% of their games, otherwise the killer is a camping tunneller. I do get some nice responses from some, so there is some hope for survivors at least.
