Why so many toxic a@@hats in the DBD community

Played a few games tonight as killer and kept getting red rank SWF groups against my green rank killer. Not only are they playing bully simulator, but post game they just let the salty comments fly. I mean, of course, I lost to you who are a group of SWP players all up to ten levels higher than I am. But do you really need to be an arse about it afterwards. The community here really brings this game down.

    Many people use this game as a way to get rid of their anger and stress. When they get even more stressed, they tend to play more toxic.

    To be fair... It's not like they know that you're a green rank killer until after the game. And if I went into the game knowing you were a green rank killer. I'd probably still not mess around with you. Because those lower rank killers get pretty salty. And every time you go on that hook you're at risk of getting face camped or tunneled out of the game. Better to keep bullying him :)

    Imagne winning to a 10 ranks lower killer in a ######### SWF and being proud of that. That is beyond having no life. You shouldn’t worry about the trash of some sweaty dusgusting basement dweller. That’s all they have. Just let it go.

    Depends, if you mean in the game vs certain people then it's because a lot of people think certain things in the game are unfair and it breeds into anger, rage and sorrow. For killers, it's the idea that survivors can make a lot of mistakes and not get punished for it. For survivors, it's the idea that a killer can play like an ass and theres nothing they can do about it at all. Both have valid points in certain regards, especially if they're heavily biased. Getting taunted by people who have a "leg up" when it comes to what people want to consider an even playing field stings much harsher, simply because you feel completely helpless.

    If you mean on the forums and other forms of media, I'd say it started when the game became really survivor sided about 2 years ago, where killers kept getting either nerfed or survivors got buffed. From then on, survivors got nerfed over and over and over again, with many players thinking its still not enough while others think it's too much. Now we're at a point where survivors have been nerfed for such a long time that many people in the survivor camp think it's getting ridiculous while killers are still feeling the pain from 2018 and think it's not enough. It caused this great chasm and fostered a nasty "Us vs Them" mentality.

    Sadly this game is a breeding ground for toxicity.
