Is it BM'ing if I give the killer my item?
Sometimes I want to be nice and give them my item for playing a good game but I don't know if the killers think I'm being mean. Is it a bad thing to do to the killers? How do you feel when the survivor drops an item at you?
Edit: I think I'm going to call it the Christmas/ Happy birthday tech

It's not

Wait whaaa...? It's definitely not bm, it's really nice to do that!
I always shake my head as a killer because I want them to take the item back because I feel bad.

Well, I don't actually gain anything from you dropping your item, so.... kinda odd?

No it's fine.
Heck, as killer I sometimes let people leave cause I see they brought an event item that's not available anymore

Nope its considered respectful as its a tribute to the killer.
It can also be viewed as giving a killer a minor victory as survivors lose their items when the killer beats them so giving up your item shows respect to their ability to beat you if the game played out differently.

I've never viewed it as BM.
Either:
A. It's an offering for letting the survivor go.
B. It's an offering begging to let the survivor go.
I've never seen it interpreted as BM.

When I play killer, someone dropping their item (even if it's a brown toolbox) is a sign of respect/good sportsmanship. And not just at an open exit gate -- I'll give hatch or door to someone who's the last alive and dead to rights if they offer up their item as a tribute of sorts. When I play survivor, I've done the same and been granted mercy before, so there's no downside to it.

Depends on the situation and how the killer feels but I'd say 99% of the time it's a swell thing to do and I like to do it now and then as well.
The only time I could see someone not liking it is if the survivor is giving the item out of pity and the person doesn't like being pitied. Like, no one was hooked all game even though the killer was trying really hard and everyone is at the gates and they drop their items out of pity before leaving.
I've had that happen to me when I played Nurse for the first time but I thought it was funny that they felt bad for me. I could see how someone might get annoyed at it though but I'd say it's pretty rare. I've personally never seen anyone not like it or at the very least get upset over it.

One time during a really bad speed hacking match I stayed at the gate and dropped my item and died to the EGC and the freddy hit me. I felt awful because it was a 3 man and then just me running around trying to understand who was doing it and I thought I could cheer him up with a kill but I think he was mad at me ;w;

In my experience it's basically the opposite of BM. When I'm chasing the last survivor and they stop, turn, and drop their item for me, I usually give them the hatch because I found it funny.

To be honest I'd prefer if people just take their item with them. Feels almost like a pity consolation prize, except it's one you'll quickly forget about either way and they lose an item simply because they felt bad.
Granted, it's not always out of pity, it's sometimes as thanks for letting them out, something I have experienced before. Even then though, I'd prefer they keep their item than assume I demand some sort of payment for letting them out. If I let them out it's because I felt like it or felt bad because two of their teammates DC'd.

One time I dropped my item for a Wraith as he was about to down me because I had nowhere else to go. He stared at me for a few seconds and then DC'd. So maybe some find it offensive?

If it's a key if they don't drop it, and I want to give them door, I kill them. Otherwise I don't mind if they don't drop it or not.
