What do you consider a "baby killer"?
This phrase is commonly used among the community, but it isn't clear what exactly a "baby killer" is.
Personally, just like "noob", it is when a player has just started playing killer. People often use it as an insult, but i think its not worth to judge a killer on their gameplay, since they are killers. They can camp and tunnel all they want, since its allowed its something they can abuse.
What about you? Let me know down below.

the one who decides to chase one person all match, then facecamp when all gens are done and complain about gen speed when they didn’t do anything to stop them from doing gens.

It's hard for me to identify a baby killer because I don't play survivor, so I never see one of them.
I can only go off the things that I didn't know when I started playing the game.
A baby killer is usually someone who is unaware of basic DBD game functions and thus is ineffective in their role cause they haven't learned basic things they need to do.
Indicators would include
- Not looking at a wall when picking up a survivor after getting flashlight stunned repeatedly.
- Doggedly refusing to break a pallet on a safe loop, and just looping endlessly.
- Getting 360'ed repeatedly, once in a while happens to the best of killers but if you can do it on a guy three times in a row he hasn't learned to track for M1's yet.
- Kicking generators repeatedly without any regression perks like pop goes the weasel and overcharge, cause they think it will help them even though without perks to boost it you are usually just wasting time for like 5% regression.
- Repeatedly vaulting windows without bamboozle and not realizing why they are getting ran around the same jungle gym 20 times.
Honestly I don't know if facecamping or tunneling is an indicator of a baby killer, or just someone who wants to use those tactics out of spite. I would say that if a killer tunnels and then picks up a survivor completely not respecting DS that may be an indicator, as most experienced killers respect DS unless they are sure the survivor doesn't have it.

I get called baby killer and other names when I play dirty, but also when I don't, so it really doesn't matter how I play, the end result is the same.

Any killer that a meta loadout SWFin red ranker escapes from is a baby killer regardless if they camped/tunneled or followed the survivor's rulebook

anyone that loads into a match as a killer is a automatically a baby killer.

easiest way to tell, run to a loop and the level of respect they give a pallet is a good first indicator
also if they get that fatty speed boost from noed after chasing me all game, kek

A killer who is brand new? Otherwise it's an insult thrown at killers by certain survivors when they outplayed the killer in some way, usually to stroke their egos or belittle/bully the killer for some disturbing reason.
The term "Baby Survivor" is also used in the same way as I listed above, but from both Killers and other Survivors.

To me it's not a killer that sucks, it's just one that makes simple mistakes due to lack of experience. Baby Killers don't annoy me as long as they're at least willing to learn and improve at some point, I can respect them.

A new killer.
Someone who isn't experienced that much.

When the team outplays me, I'm a 'baby killer.' When I 4k, I'm a 'sweaty baby killer.' So, by the survivor rule book, all killers are baby killers.

Baby Killer is (In High Ranks):
1.) A killer who went up against a group of Survivors and failed to kill someone who is highly toxic, is also prone to saying things like "EZ", "UmAd?", and other belittling things to you as a Killer.
2.) A killer who went up against a group of Survivors and actually destroyed the entire team (or a 3k) who still has at least 1 toxic survivor. Proceeds to belittle you in anyway possible based on your play style, Killer, perks, or all 3.

Facecamping for cleansing a totem, chasing 1 survivor, tunneling and everything in that genre

In my context it's pretty much a new player basically between 20 to 15 who usually just have about 1 or 2 perks
if you use it against anyone else who's not just a new player then you're just using it as a spiteful insult.
Believe it or not some days people just have a off day. You end up playing like a potato as a survivor you will know you're normally not same thing with killer.
I usually wouldn't consider these people baby killers.
If you're talking about the sadly most use definition of baby killer.
It's typically anyone who plays in a way somebody mildly dislikes.
1) used x killer because they are overpowered
2) used x perk because it's for "noobs" ( usually aimed towards noed but I've seen others)
3) used x add-ons because they are overpowered or for "noobs" you could see a trend
4) camping ( regardless if the killer actually camped or had a reason to camp if they did)
5) tunneling ( regardless of the of the killer actually tunneled or had a reason if they did)
6) use Moris ( even if you wait until death hook to use it.
7) you manage to escape ( not as rare as you think some people would just be toxic regardless of what happened in the match)
8) if you died (read above probably even more baffling considering if you managed to lose to a baby killer what does that make you)

A child between the ages of 0 and 2 that kills

Someone that's new to the game? I don't exactly use the term myself but if I did I'd probably use it for the "cute" sorts of obvious newbie behavior as opposed to some sort of insult.

Baby Killer?
Usually ones that try to juke so hard, they end up juking themselves.
Or maybe the ones who are "legally blind", missing a bright as heck survivor, directly in front of them, then calling them a hacker because they didn't see them somehow.
(Honestly, it just bamboozles me how a simple move as not noticing someone can be pushed to 'not noticing someone wearing eye-catching clothing'.)

Someone who is not good in a chase, they seem like they're new to the game and figuring new things in the game.

Toxic people use that term pretty often, so i just use "inexperienced killer" instead.

I'm a normal killer but when I had a few drinks I turn into a "baby killer" at least that is the messages I get. I don't have the patience to run around so I hook and camp. But 95% of the games I am very nice and even let last survivor leave. I want to avoid red ranks so happy to stay at purple rank :)

Obviously any killer that falls victim to my toxic SWF (which btw relies on 2nd chance perks and map offerings) is a baby killer of course

I usually see them as perkless/no add-ons. Normally prone to camping and tunnelling to compensate. Especially fond of Wraith, usually.

Signs a killer is probably inexperienced:
-Respects pallets, often the same pallet, multiple times in a row. Example: I got 5 extra loops out of a tile the other night because I kept faking the pallet drop and a rank 8 Trapper kept respecting it.
-Lunging too early because you assume a survivor is going to camp pallets. High end survivors have a feel for the distances. If you start the lunge too early, it's actually safer for the survivor to keep running because the pallet drop animation lock will cause them to get hit. I've been able to get multiple extra loops on tiles because killers assume I'll drop pallets.
-Not dropping a chase that is going poorly
-Not finding anyone until a gen or 2 has popped. Doesn't apply to Haddonfield. Delete Haddonfield.
-This tells me whether a killer is rank 1-2 or probably lower on Coldwind: can you get a hit at the tractors every time? Those are guaranteed free hits if you know how to play them.
