Why is killer toxicity forbidden/shamed to talk about?

It's not? I've brought it up before, even wrote a story thread on the subject and it was well received by the commenters.

EDIT: In case you want to read that thread, here you go - https://forum.deadbydaylight.com/en/discussion/160370/story-thread-its-killers-like-this-who-give-everyone-a-bad-name#latest

Toxicity is a construct that you choose to believe. It's really subjective. Some people let minor things tilt them way too hard. To me, the following things are really not worth getting upset about.

• Survivors teabagging, or killers nodding. Whatever, it's just some dumb animations.
• Survivors and killers using their perks, items, and add-ons to the best of their ability. This is what they are for. Moris and keys are sometimes a bridge too far and need to be addressed by the game developers, but it's stupid to get mad at someone for using a legitimate game mechanic that has been made available to them.
• Flashlights stuns. This is the intended use case of this item.
• Looping and pallet stuns. This is an intended gameplay loop.
• Survivors fixing gens quickly. This is their goal.
• Killers slugging to avoid Decisive Strike. It's counterplay. This is just how it is, for as long as this perk functions in this way.
• Killers defending a 3-gen situation. As long as they are not outright refusing to take opportunities to chip away at survivors, this is the right play.
• Killers guarding their kills when all gens are done. What else do you reasonably want from them in this case?
• Killers soft-camping hooks when other survivors are obviously in the area waiting to go for a save (which you can tell by seeing them or their scratch marks).

These things are not toxic. They are literally what make up the game, Dead by Daylight, that we have all chosen to play.

On the other hand, killers get a lot of finger-wagging here because of certain extremely frustrating things that they are capable of unilaterally dictating the game with. Namely: tunneling a specific survivor to death, or face-camping a hook. These two actions rob one or more players of the intended game flow, while also being detrimental to the killer (because they will likely lose gens and other kills, and BP/rank). The game currently doesn't do enough to deter killers from these actions and/or reward them for not doing those things.

There does seem to be a bias. Whenever someone mentions killer toxicity there will be people there to play white knight - “well the survivors were probably toxic first” / “well they probably had a match against a toxic SWF before you and were just venting frustration”

I haven’t seen many people try to justify survivor toxicity with a “well you probably deserved it”, most people agree it’s annoying and uncalled for. I think it’s because survivor toxicity is more common than killer toxicity.

You must be new here.

Well whenever a ds thread pops up. You will see someone going and calling all killers, crybabies, whiners, ect ect. Throwing anyone who has ever played a killer before into the same group. For rather than speaking in a civil tone and explaining things reasonable, to possibly get people to change their mind. It's simply easier to throw everyone into the same group and insult them all. Which only leads to digging deeper, maintaining their original position or more strongly believing in it, due to seeming like they have personal been attacked rather than being talked out of it with reason. Like you could ask what the point of ds, what is the perk meant for, to stop tunneling or is it meant for another use and someone will simply just call all killer crybabies, whiners ect ect ect. That or look at mori threads, you will see people call others toxic for merely using a mori or call killers that tunnel off first hook for a mori, toxic.

Which you really see both sides being called toxic or being shamed with labeling everyone as being x. Like oh it toxic for a survivor to blind a killer at a pallet. Like i'm sure if you ask ten different people, what is toxic in this game or bad sportsmanship. You will get easily a dozen or so different answers.

You should note that while i play both sides, i play solo survivor about 70%+ of the time. And yet, survivors are much more toxic than killers can ever be. Because they cant just be toxic to the killer, they can be to the other survivors as well, and many are.

But it seems you aren´t really intrested in others opinions, based on your post i quote. It just has nothing to do with daring, it has to do with survivors calling thing they dont like toxic even if they aren´t. (this is someone killers do as well, while genrush is a think in my opinion, its not toxic).

I think you should elaborate more about killer toxicity. Tunneling, camping and slugging are valid strategies that a killer can choose to adopt. On a personal level, I don't think they are fun, but sometimes is your last resource when dealing with a almost lost match. I've lost count of the matches that I won on the last generator just by changing my strategy to full slugging and proxy camping. For me, toxicity would be if you slug everybody and let all bleed out to death.

Because there's no single definition of the word "toxic", and considering they're all perfectly legal claiming all forms of camping/tunneling or whatever is toxic is like a killer claiming looping or getting flashlight saves is inherently toxic. And that's certainly not something everyone agrees with. Meanwhile most would probably agree that pointlessly acting like a massive dickhead in post-game chat is bad, regardless of if they'd use the word toxic for it or not.

There are certainly people that seem to think "their side" can't do anything wrong unprovoked ever or something though. You see it both ways in threads where survivors or a killer did something trashy, there's often posts that boil down to "You probably deserved it 🙃" no matter if there's anything that implies the OP did anything or not.

I believe most people would identify toxic behavior performing actions for the sole intention of being malicious towards the opposition or just other people in general. Actions that have no real bearing on progressing through the gameplay.

For example using a flash light to save someone isn't necessarily toxic (that is one of it's uses), but flicking it off and on to taunt the killer is. I knew a survivor main who would set it to the scroll wheel for that sole intention. Slugging two survivors and allowing one to bleed out that you can't find isn't toxic as allows them to get hatch, but letting two survivors bleed out together is.

As in my previous post, I listed a few ways a killer can partake that can legitimately be toxic, but they are all circumstantial. Because they are circumstantial, survivors are less likely to see it in action.

Also I find it interesting what thottiepippen stated about "most things killers do I find scummy". Is it scummy because it was intentionally malicious or is it scummy because made the game more difficult for you?

Exactly this, there's annoying in game things like hitting on hooks, t bagging after stuns, clicky clicky obnoxiousness, but what is really truly toxic is post game trash talking. Survivors can even be "toxic" to each other in match by sandbagging, unhook spamming, hook farming, and running around dropping every pallet, yet so few people will even bring up those actions in discussions about toxicity.
