Why the DBD community is so toxic and whose fault is that?

Some people are toxic regardless of the platform used/played. Part of it is down to game design which BHVR are responsible for. Then you also have some content creators who promote toxicity and people try to emulate them.
Some, not all, pick a side and are biased in their thinking. Shouting for changes to something not considering what it does for the other side. Even if they play both sides they probably have a favoured side.
This isn't unique to this game, and there are also some decent people in this community too. Forums also usually bring the more 'passionate' players to them.

When survivors realized that they could remain indefinitely on maps and force killers to DC by abusing ultra-strong windows, popularly called "Infinites".. the toxicity started. When survivors realized that they held more power than the power role, they abused it.

It's just immaturity. I'm sure a lot of younger people play the game. Sore losers and sore winners!
The most amusing posts in this thread are the people doing backflips trying to justify being a jerk.

While no one is responsible for toxicity in this community I believe it all started with
1. Streamers! Anything you see being broadcasted your going to do it!
2. One sides lack of playing the other side! I've called my friends out on being toxic to killers! They said they were board and didn't know what else to do. When I convinced them to start playing killer and the expirenced the same toxicity, that stopped being toxic all together.
As I said no one is ultimately responsible for toxicity, at the end of the day it comes down to the player

Its a competitive multiplayer game toxicity is almost guaranteed, that being said its not really anyone fault at all just the type of people games like this attract

Imo the world's fault.
Now it becomes a trend to hate and insult each other even for a goofy crap mistake in a videogame.
The nowadays are seriously ######### up.

If im being honest i think we as a community have a tendency to promote being toxic. Certain youtubers also promote being toxic rather it be an purpose or not. This is both killer and survivor.

It's humanity's fault. People are jerks. Only thing you can do is not be toxic yourself. It's why I play Killer, personally. Survivors want to be toxic then I at least have a chance to do something about it. Someone d/cs and screws over everyone else, I'm happy to turn it into a farm session and let the rest go. I get points either way, and I don't give a damn about rank, so why should I care?

Those are not exactly toxic as what you think it is those are just making the killer tilted and angry for those types of moves but what is toxic is players talking ######### in the end game chat or being racist or homophobic to you or worst yet saying death threats to you in end game chat now those 4 things those are toxic but in my opinion saying death threats in end game chat is toxic because it's your wish harm to the other person over a video game but if your a streamer then the player can go ever farther than that like ddos you or worst yet trying to swat you now those show how sad those types of players are in DBD hopefully this helps you to know there are worst things than just a simple teabagging, flashlight clicking

Developers not listening to community concerns which has a knock-on effect because people know they can be toxic and get away with it.
Then there are streamers who record themselves griefing killers and then people watch it and want to do the same which then makes killer negative which makes survivor games worse and the cycle continues.
Some survivor streamers I've watched (big streamers who even used stretched res LOL) are literally treating the killer like an NPC and then giving them a condescending "GG" after they've been humiliated.
I've had some nice survivors over the weekend and it caught me off guard because usually, it's just toxic messages.

BHVR,they dont adress the community complains,and act like they know everything when they obviously dont,they add stuff that make game worse just because they want to,BHVR doesn't deserve the playerbase or this game success.

It's because of how the game is structured, the game encourages toxicity at its core. I'm not blaming the devs forthis though.
This game is just as bad as League of Legends. As killer, you cant ever stop and rethink your life choices. Even if you are getting skullbashed by the survivors you have to keep playing even when you have no will to live. If you try to give up, then you'll get BMd
As survivor, you just feel helpless sometimes because of your team. It's almost impossible for one survivor to hard carry, and more often than not, even if you do carry, you'll die because of it and somebody "unworthy" will enjoy your hardwork and escape. Waiting in a 10 minute Q just to get clowned by your own team brings outthe worst in people. It's the same reason why people get so damn salty in League, because you are stuck in a match for at minimum 10-20 minutes so when the game is clearly lost at the 30 second mark, people go utterly ballistic andthrow tantrums.
I'm no psychologist so I dont know what to suggest.
Just in case it needs to be said, I'm not justifying toxicity; just saying this game at its core makes our lizard brains go haywire after its honeymoon phase disappears.
The only solution I'veseen that works isto play Dbd casually. We very much need to play Civ once on a while

I think letting ppl bleed out is reportable as it goes into holding game hostage.

It's not reportable since the survivor will bleed out completely so the game is still progressing. If somebody has body blocked someone into a corner and (emphasis on and) won't let them leave that's reportable since there's no way the game can progress. That's my understanding at least.

Wrong it's considered a mind game the developers said that years ago.

I think it's just gaming in general now days to be honest.
Kids taking pride in being knobs well maintaining anonymity.

Just entitlement and want to "assert dominance". Like child, in a videogame, notte even balance or competitive. Really sad people, who Do Not understand fair Play and have fun for all players. And trolls, but I think they are fun and good.

I would say because it is a two sided game, survivors and killers, but that doesn’t explain the sandbagging survivors.
