Dear entitled Survivor mains, please listen ;)

No; it doesn't. It hasn't "evolved" or any such nonsense. Whining, mewling morons continue to call anything they don't like Camping or Tunneling or Slugging. They do this because they want to blame their personal failures on something else, and try to grief the Killer at the same time. The point of these, incorrect, accusations is to lie oneself. Tunneling has the exact same meaning now that it did then, there are just more STUPID people who can't be bothered to be accurate in the use of terms. There is no such animal as the term you are trying to define, because the DEVs have stated that going after the recently unhooked person is a completely legal, valid choice. It is just called, hunting. Get it? We don't get to redefine the terms anyway we see fit.

That's not necessarily entitlement, it's more using a word in a place it doesn't fit.

I have a Masters in English; we both know such things are irrelevant to this discussion. As you point out, this tiny pond doesn't get to to define squat. Moreover, since we share an interest in the English language, I trust you understand the definition of a glittering generality? The term "toxic" is meaningless, a glittering generality intended to invoke an emotional response with no actual support or reasoning behind it. People use the word "toxic" to define anything and everything they don't like. Thus, there is no agreed upon meaning to the word. Use of glittering generalities is a cheap, lazy way to simulate making an actual argument, a skill-free rhetorical trick.

For the record, I play both Survivor and Killer in equal measure. I did not complain about being attacked. I pointed out that stupid people use incorrect vocabulary and like to whine and blame others for their personal failures. Regardless of whether I'm playing Killer or Survivor, I own my failures with the same passion that I take credit for my victories. When a match ends and the Killer destroyed me and my fellow Survivors, I give said person a congratulations and thank them for the game. When Survivors destroy me as the Killer, I do the same. There is no such thing as entitled Killers or entitled Survivors, because that is a false dichotomy. There are entitled Players, however, and you clearly are one.

And I can completely respect you exercising your Player agency to hold yourself back. I don't think anyone takes issue with individual Killers choosing what they will and won't do. What is important, however, is that we don't start to expect that other people be held to our individual codes of behavior. We should not be giving Killers or Survivors grief or getting salty unless they actually break the rules. All any Player has to abide by, in Dead by Daylight, to be a good sport is:

1. Don't cheat, either by hack or lag spike.
2. Don't disconnect; if you start a game, finish it.
3. Be humble in victory and gracious in defeat.

As long as my opponents abide by these three things they deserve nothing but my respect and courtesy. Neither I, you, or anyone else has the right to lecture them or whine away about their behavior. The rules are known; we don't get to add extra ones. Any morals and morays we wish to apply to ourselves are fine though, and I commend you on them.
