What do you do as killer with survivors who throw themselves at you after getting off the hook?
In my killer games, I'm seeing more survivors not care if I'm nearby and just rush the hook to rescue someone (who's usually in no danger of going to the next stage). Naturally I try to intercept them to either stop the unhook or force a trade. What's happening more, though, is that the unhooked person will start bodyblocking aggressively to the point where it's like I'm carrying a survivor with Boil Over. Originally I would just hit them and move on because that feels more "fair," but usually the time taken to get them to leave allows their teammate to escape, so I end up with nothing even though they made a reckless save. It started to feel like they were taking advantage of my personal sense of "fairness."
Recently, I've just taken to pursuing the person who bodyblocked me and putting them back on the hook. What surprises me is that, when I'm on to what they're trying to do and wait out the standard endurance timer, they usually go down in one hit, no OTR or DS. Do you just put bodyblockers like this back on the hook as well? Why do people seem to be doing this so belligerently anyway? Is it because of the chase perk meta?

If someone bodyblocks off the hook, I'll follow for a few seconds, hit and hook him.
They don't do it twice, usually.

They get hooked again.

Hook them again. My advice to most killer players would be to avoid paralysis by analysis during a trial. You might get burned by DS/OTR or you might not, but the worst thing that can happen is to not tunnel and also not go for the rescuer.
