Why are DbD players so toxic?

I feel like if you're losing a game, then just take the L. Even when you are winning, just take the W. Why on earth would you grief or say some dumb things in chat? Just go to your next game.

I had a match where a survivor killed themselves on hook because the Doc grabbed them when they were trying to unhook. We were only at 4 gens, which is fine. Whatever, but she decided to kill herself on hook and the doc just stood in front of her shaking his head. I was like alright, and went to go do a gen. Still at 4 gens, I got downed. Once again, whatever. But then a survivor got downed and hooked again (had already been hooked once) and then I was like alright, I'm just going to go to my next game so that maybe one of us gets hatch. Jill comes up and unhooks me while trying to kill myself. I'm like okay lol so instead of chasing Jill (who is hurt), he lets her go and gets me instead. Leaves me on the ground. Then starts the BP farming between the 2 left survivors and the killer. Any time the 2 of them tried to get me up, he would then hit me to go down again. The last time I had gotten up, I healed myself completely. When I saw him coming, I thought lets jump in the locker and see if he grabs me so he can just hook me. Oh he def grabs me, but decides to put me down so I can bleed out even more. I did finally bleed out while I watched these guys farm. By the time I bled out, they were at 2 gens because he was allowing them to do gens next to me.

I didn't try and die on hook because I was like OMG WAAAH, I literally thought may as well die on hook so one of them can get hatch because we were only at 4 gens.

This is just an example of the toxic behavior. The end game chat is just as bad where you have survivors being toxic to the killer because he/she didn't get their 4k etc and they have to pour salt on their open wound. Like grow up. Believe it or not, people don't go into a match wanting to ruin your game. If there is camping/tunneling or survivors who making bad decisions then people are allowed to kill themselves on hook/or DC. They get punished for it by losing a pip or getting barely no BP (or a DC timer). But to grief them to an extreme just because they want out of a game? Really weird.

There is no justification for being toxic in any game. If you're going to talk crap to someone or grief them in game because they aren't playing the way YOU want them to play, then you shouldn't be playing games period. Games are supposed to be fun and believe it or not DBD isn't a competitive game. It has no elements that make it one. You can get to Iridescent pretty easily. You don't lose your rank, you only lose pips.
