In some scenarios, yes
After killing a survivor, or doing it infront of a hook, is usually considered toxic, while just nodding after finding someone(IDK why you'd do this) isn't usually considered toxic
In the clip, some would consider it toxic, while some wouldn't.
If in a different scenario, if you tunneled the player out, and they were part of a SWF, literally everything you did they will call toxic, including breathing, walking, and exsisting.
I've had multiple players tell me that I am a waste of life, or to ### myself, and many other things, just because I nodded after downing them when they were spam clicking...

Here's where the toxicity comes from and this game highly encourages you to be toxic .
1. It puts a group against 1 player . This builds up the solidarity with the group leaving the killer out of the nice friendly interaction . The killer feels alone . This by default increases the toxicity the killer has.
2. Any interactions with a killer and survivor. None of it is friendly . Survivors have flashlights . Slam pallets in your face then teabag. This leads to the killer getting builled and in return the killer will be more toxic .
3. People ghost ( using other voice chats) . We all know Survivors will do this. Thus building up more solidarity leaving out the killer.
4. When a Survivor gets * tunneled * they get mad and turn toxic.
5. The survivors goals and the killers goals are not the same . The survivors need to live and get out. Heal and save. The killer needs to hurt and sacrifice and NO ONE LEAVES.
THIS all comes down to if nodding is toxic. Only if you want it to be but each person decides if something makes them mad. The intent is to make them mad but what of the teabagging the survivors do? What seems worse ? 10 quick teabags or nodding .

My view on toxic action goes like that: Any action that's unnecessary for gameplay/don't progress the game in any way, so nodding, tbagging, flashlight clicking, pointing, hitting on hook, etc etc. I classify those as BM. Others might not view them as it, or they're nitpicking some of them to make their own ego feel better

It's about as toxic as crouching repeatedly.
Generally context dependent.

Nop,,maybe it can be used as cheeky bm but it's nowhere near toxic

Ofcourse, i mean you are doing it to annoy the survivor. You dont get a benefit from it, you even are slowing yourself down when you nod instead of walking to the next survivor
