Someone tell me what is being toxic?
The word toxic is so widely used, can someone tell me what IS toxic and what ISNT toxic.

My take on it is doing something that to belittle or ruin the experience of the other player that doesn't have any gameplay value at all. Example would be for Killers to hit someone on hook over and over, it doesn't add points and is just annoying, example for survivors would be to take the game hostage, I've seen a couple of survivors refuse to do gens and just crouch around the perimeter of the map, most people also don't like it when they just wait at the gates after they're opened so they can teabag instead of just leaving, it's mostly perspective. People also mention facecamping, tunnelling and slugging but those are also situational. There's a difference between slugging at 5 gens and slugging the last 2 survivors. At least in my opinion.

Intentionally sandbagging your teammates is one form of what some consider being toxic.
Incase you weren’t aware:
Sandbagging is a term describing the event or events where a survivor teams up with the Killer in some way for points or other reasons, especially making every effort to divert the killer’s attention towards chasing/ killing other survivors nearby in an attempt to save themself.

Presumably anything, according to most anyone playing this game.

don't ask stuff like this in the dbd forum 😯 Most people here even think that a sleeping puppy is toxic. No matter what you do as a killer or as a survior: you are toxic. Since there is nothing in this game I would call toxic, cause I know it's just a game and I have problems in real life to worry about, this is what a lot of people think:
- sandbagging (sure, this is BM, but life still goes on there is always a new match soon)
- teabagging
- camping
- tunneling
- doing gens
- escaping
- killing
- using emotes
- clicky-clicky
- DC (BM as well and annoying, but still nothing I worry about)
- survivor/killers using specific perks/add-ons/items
- map offerings
- playing specific killers/survivor
So everything people don't like or consider unfun is called toxic 😂

Just treat others as you wish to be treated. If you would not wish it upon yourself, then just don't do it to others.

"Another type of online disinhibition is called toxic disinhibition, which represents an increased tendency towards online flaming and inappropriate behaviors. These often contain hostile language, swearing, and even threats. This norm describes the negative side effect of the loss of inhibition on the cyberspace." - Online disinhibition effect - Wikipedia
But I think it also includes actions in the game that belittle or ruin the experience of another player that doesn't have any gameplay value at all.

Surviving in this game while 2 people are drunk is pretty toxic.

I personally see it as going out of your way to intentionally ruin someone else's fun.

Toxic is a synonym for being rude. Insulting people in chat after a game is the main example. Ragequitting is also toxic, as is cheating at the expense of the other players in the game. To a lesser extent things like excessive teabagging and flashlight clicking just to annoy someone or a killer standing at a hook hitting the hooked player for no reason would be toxic as well.
Perks, Add-ons and specific characters are not toxic. If the devs didn’t want people to use moris or keys they wouldn’t be in the game, there’s nothing rude about using them. There are things in the game which have some balance issues but that doesn’t make them “toxic” or the players that use them “toxic”. Likewise running to strong loops to survive, “tunneling” an injured survivor, guarding a hook, and bodyblocking a killer during a chase to protect another survivor aren’t “toxic”. Playing to win the game is the object of the game, there’s nothing wrong with it.
