How could you reduce toxicity in a multiplayer game like Dead by Daylight?

Should be unless you're like the other fragile men that gets triggered by someone pressing the crouch button :^)

Delete post-game chat

I don’t think any of the things you listed are an issue. I can understand people wanting a system in place to combat post-game attacks, but trying to prevent people from teabagging or hitting the hook etc is excessive.

This isn't a tournament game and I'm getting fined by absolutely no one. Disrespectful or not grow some back bone. Don't read post chat then become salted meat. I genuinely do not care for trash talking in video games lmao but I do have problem if you do real life threats and insistent harassment outside the match.

That's the internet and they should have a disclaimer for it so it wouldn't be flooded by snow flakes.

Also this is a fix.

The thing is other games allow you to be way more toxic within the match itself. Csgo has team killing in comp and smite has Comm spam. All you can do in dbd is teabag and hit on hook really

I also come from OW, For Honor, Siege, Black Ops and more.

The amount of toxicity I find on a daily basis in DBD far eclipses those games.

Really? Most I find in this game is occasional hate messages and teabagging but compared to overwatch’s match throwing and chat or even for honor’s messages dbd ain’t too bad. You play on PS4 right? Maybe Xbox is just less toxic overall

I play on Xbox.

I get hate mail most matches.

Well damn. I don’t play killer too often anymore but even then I barely get any salt or hate. Even as survivor most I’ll get is someone mad at my perks

I mean people say playing a specific killer is toxic. It really depends on your definition. I guess T-bagging, Clicking, and the endgame chat is considered toxic. T-bagging and Clicking can just have a delay between presses. So if you crouch and get up you can't crouch immediately again. Same goes for Clicking. Endgame chat literally can be closed for yourself.

At the end of the day this is a computer game and people are talking about trivial matters such as teabagging or hook hitting and framing them as some kind of serious abuse.

If these things genuinely cause you distress, honestly the best thing you can do is to take a look inwards and find out why you’re reacting so negatively to what is essentially meaningless nonsense.

Now, this is not victim blaming. There are no victims to flashlight clicking, etc. This is genuine advice. I know through my struggles with mental health how circumstances in life can affect perspective and blow things out of proportion, but it’s not healthy to allow something as insignificant as teabagging in a computer game to affect you in such a way, and hiding the true problem by sanitising every aspect of said game is never going to help you where it actually counts.

Just look at it with perspective. These are random strangers. They don’t know you. What they’re doing is not a personal attack even though it may feel otherwise. They’re just playing a game, trying to get a reaction. Just brush it off for what it truly is instead of allowing it to turn into something more.

So you're aware that post game chat could go both ways then you're shocked if it's toxic and hurt by it?. Also not the sharpest tool in the shed if you're easily hurt by words written by strangers across the globe yet still want to risk it and read chat lmao. That's on you mate.
