Don't say "wp" if you won decisively
Comments

When I get a decisive win as killer I'll still try and find something the survivors did well and compliment them on it. Or not say gg, but commiserate a reason they lost, like if someone DC'd early, I'll tell them they did what they could, or that I'm sorry someone sabotaged the game for them.
When my lobby gets a decisive win on a killer, I'll often check up on them rather than say gg. I'll chew out any person who BM, and tell the killer I hope they get a better match-up or map later. If they're open to talk, I'll tell them about one thing they did right, maybe they did a good mindgame at some point, or had good map pressure even if we prevailed. Or I just like their killer. It's generally well-received as a peace offering.

That is indeed what the words mean, the issue is whether people are being genuine or mocking when saying it.
...which isn't even necessarily their fault. People internalize a lot from their matches in this game, and a lot of people either handle it poorly or get defensive when they really shouldn't. I've tried to be more mindful of it myself and started giving considerations if the opponent gets absolutely rolled: If they're a killer with no addons and maybe one perk, i'll make a comment about how rough matchmaking is, then offer the gg. If a survivor ragequits I'll say something like "sorry about the nea, that sucked. gg and gl on the next" or something along those lines.
We all had that one kid that used to spit in their hand before lining up for gg handshakes on sports teams when we were young. It's understandable that people can be bitter when they get defensive and assume the worst, but it also doesn't take much to be mindful of it and prevent the misunderstanding. All that said, I also used to get upset when people threw gg's when it clearly wasn't one, but I've worked on that and encourage any others who feel that way to do the same.

Lol, I can tell you are upset OP.
I find it funny when killers win, they rush to chat to say "gg"
But when killers do not play well, silence in chat.

Look at the post of FinestFantasyVI . It is very easy to know what to say and how , no mental analysis is needed at all. A proper example and a thread ender IMO.

I go off about people posting 4 letters without intonation, body language and from my experience more often when the other sided ended up with less than 5 hooks/3 Ges done and less than 10k BP (aka not a good game in my opinion getting curb stombed), most probably feeling frustrated and feeling pittied or belittled by them and their ignorance of the situation and their self illusion that it will come across as anything else in such a case.
I don't care about it when the loser says/initiates it (barely/never happens) or it truly was a close game for both sides.

This man actually knows how gg wp works ^^^
Typically even gg started out as a way for the loser to concede that the match was over and you played well. Saying gg before the loser when you won is pretty bad sportsmanship.

Yep I'm one of those. They go "GG WP!!!" after 3+ escape and I go "Yeah, it was very fun playing on Garden of Joy against sweat with friends blasting out gens and holding W from a mile away making callouts and just running to the infinites at the main building where the CoH is. Real great game"

This is giving off sore loser energy.

Depends on what kind of killer they were. If they played fairly then I take it as a compliment cause whilst they won I may have given them a challenge.
Are we really so used to toxicity that we assume any contact is inherently negative?

Yeah saying wp after you won easy is patronizing.

For sure. Especially when you stomp a team as killer and they say GGEZ to you, but that's at least good for a laugh.
Sometimes you get matched up against a much less experienced team/killer and they did the best they could.
But in a lot of cases it just seems mocking/condescending.

That's a "you" problem if you perceive it like that.
I say "well played" to my opponents because:
1) it's polite
2) it's respectful
3) it's proper etiquette
4) it's not because one side has won, even harshly, that the other side played bad. It's not like if this game was balanced and snowballing wasn't a thing.

gg to everyone and wp to me only.

Great comment!

LOL this exactly happened to me before, I was legit trying to compliment the person and it kept censoring words making it seem like I was insulting and I eventually just gave up ><
