T-Bagging, an action that implies that one is repeatedly dunking their genitalia into their opponents mouth and that there is nothing they can do about it, is toxic. Anyone who thinks this action isn’t toxic has a questionable morale.
Repeatedly hitting someone and nodding at someone while they’re on hook is also toxic. There is no benefit to it other than to annoy or aggravate the opponent, which is toxic.
Body Blocking to prevent a teammate from going down isn’t toxic, but body blocking someone in a corner so they can’t do anything is.
A couple of flashlight clicks here and there isn’t toxic in and of itself, especially when it is used to try to distract the killer and try to keep them from tunneling, but binding the flashlight to the mouse wheel, with the sole intention of being annoying, is toxic.

Slugging is not toxic. Slugging somebody- and standing over their body- when they are the last survivor remaining is, as it provides no benefit to either party.
Tunneling is not toxic. Tunneling someone throughout several games, or tunneling one survivor and farming with the rest, is.
Head nodding and hitting on hook is toxic. It provides no benefit to either party and serves specifically as a means to annoy somebody.
T-bagging to get attention is not toxic. T-bagging once you have attention is an action specifically designed to aggrevate others and providing no benefit to either party, and so is toxic.
Flashlight clicking to get attention is not toxic. Flashlight clicking when you have attention is toxic, and can even cause some who suffer from epilepsy to have a seizure.
Body blocking for others is not toxic. Body blocking somebody in a corner and refusing to move is toxic, and is actually holding the game hostage if this happened pre-EGC, which is bannable.
Calling something you don't like toxic isn't toxic- it's just showing a clear misunderstanding of the definition of the word.
A lot of this is situational, and depending on the situation, can be toxic behaviour.
I've typed the word toxic so often it doesn't sound real anymore.

@Huge_Bush @GoodBoyKaru I really don't see tbagging or flashlight clicking as toxic, even if done to "aggregate the killer" same for a killer slugging the last survivor until they bleedout. A small bit of bm and taunting never goes astray and generally speaking those actions are pretty petty and very inconsequential. I think if people are getting annoyed and frustrated at tbagging or clicking then the issue isn't with the person who is trying to bm. I don't see why such should be considered toxic, especially when similar things are in other games too and yet receive much, much less hate or have less stigma about them.
I will add in bodyblocking to prevent somebody from doing anything however, that is an issue I agree.

Toxic is subjective. I set the record straighter.

Is running Small Game and cleansing all the totems when all your teammates are Mikaelas toxic? Because I'm planning to do that.

It doesn't matter if you call it this or that. That doesn't change the fact that trying to make someone feel bad on purpose is a crappy thing to do.
It shows that you lack empathy.

You really did it. You got out of bed today and you thought to yourself: "Damn, today I'll do it. Today I'll go on those forums and tell them, I'll pave the way, I'll set the record straight, I'll put an end to the debate on what's toxic and what isn't. It has to be me, SlothGirly that does this. From this day forward, they will all know."
And just so nobody can accuse me of not contributing to the discussion at hand, I'll admit that this community loves the word toxic far too much, but if you genuinely think it's okay to be that one guy who's letting Survivors bleed out on the ground, or that it's completely normal for Survivors to ignore objectives just so they can point and laugh at the Killer, then there really isn't much anyone can tell you.

If you purposefully try to make the other people aggrevated- as you call it, bm- that's hardly great behaviour is it? Tell me you lack empathy without telling me you lack empathy.

What is and isn't toxic is 100% opinion based so you are both right and wrong at the same time

Hitting people on hook is not toxic
🧐
I'd figured this was the very definition of toxic.

Repeatedly hitting them on the hook I would consider toxic, but a single hit is just my way of telling them they did well in the preceding chase.
