I'm done with this game, thanks to the constant harassment and being told hurt myself

I kinda feel the same right now, as OP.
In the last 2 days I have received some insane hate from survivors, including racial and homophobic slurs, "hurt yourself" type of things, general salt. I can deal with 1 or, but when it happens multiple times a day with the whole team actively calling you trash, every after really good back and forth games, it's weird.
These players play for the sake of letting the killer know he is bad. That's their goal. it doesn't matter if you have 0 kills or 4kills, they just want to feel like they are better.
So whenever I am exhausted from this, I play solo survivor. Every 3rd match we get a rage quit by dc or give up on the hook. And every endgame chat when survivors are trashtalking to the killer and you try to argue for the killer, they trashtalk you anyways.
It could be funny. Except it's not. Its [BAD WORD] sad.

From when I worked helping people recover from trauma a common theme was that abusive people always said that it was the abused person's fault and made up a variety of reasons to justify it or just said the victim should be tougher.
I don't know why reading Dbd forums makes me remember that so much.

I agree that is a common theme of abuse, but you are missing the point. Most of us giving the advice to condition yourself to not care about these people are not blaming the victim. We are trying to help. I get a lot of abuse as a face camping Bubba who tunnels and slugs. I even enjoy bleeding people out from time to time, or forcing head pops as Pig. The type of Ghostface that joins the survivors in their twerking contest. Lots of things the community deems "toxic" just because they don't enjoy my playstyle. I am not blaming myself for their reactions, but at this point, I understand the common reaction and do not let it bother me.
And when I slip up, usually regarding other people, it genuinely hurts me. I hate seeing other killers being harassed and cannot handle the heat. I hate watching toxic survivors or killers being unnecessarily rude to their opponents in a fit of rage because they cannot control themselves. However, besides giving advice that worked for me, there is nothing else I can do.

Well... If it is the way you want to play - than you're a nasty person. Low standarts. I have no respect to killers that act like they're mentally screwed. It's actually terrifying me seing those killers that keep hitting you when you're on the hook or just dancing around you when you're on the ground. Sick! Cheating is not only when you type the code. Cheating is "not doing enough effort to achieve the result". So if you're acting and playing like the one who can't get the result by "fair" way - don't be mad when people notice and despite you for that. Your behavior as a killer just as much insulting for some people as words. So they fight back. Play better, don't camp, don't tunnel. You'll see normal feedback. Will you dare to try?

Nah, still prefer to face camp and beat them on hook. Much more satisfying.

Than what's the difference between actually killing, hooking and tunneling people in the game, and saying that in words?? You caused that. And stop saying it's "blaming the victim". They're not victims to begin with

Oh look; self-serving rationalization to insult and belittle Killers because 'they deserve it' for camping/tunneling/slugging/whatever excuse.
News flash: If you have to give yourself an excuse to treat someone else like garbage; you were going to do it anyways, and the excuse is just so you can soothe what little conscience you have..

First, i never say low stuff like "#########"...
Second, yes, i will treat this way anyone whos attitude not punished by law for some reason. See, people think that only existing law is what other people wrote on the paper. There is still common sense law. When person act like mentally sick but he's not - means he's just nasty. Why do i have show them respect?

But I do not lose my filter when I am camped and tunneled despite being frustrated. Those killers aren't good enough to make rage. I guess I am just on another level, because they cry to me and give me a fear of drowning which does make me the victim because if their tears weren't suffocating, I wouldn't fear for my life.

Are you seriously saying camping, tunneling, and slugging is 'mentally sick' just because you don't like it? Or am I misunderstanding?
0 -
I said that tunneling, camping and slugging is a nasty, low, lazy, cheating way to play. Sick is when they show how much they enjoy it. And i think it should be punishable. I dont mean to beat them. I mean for example: if myers facecamping - he can't stalk when he's to close to the hook, and other...

You can view it how you want, but it ain't cheating. It's literally tactics in the Killer's toolkit to win. Like the so-called 'genrush' (Note: I think 'genrush' is as BS as 'tunneling' et al; It's just whining the other side used tactics that helped them win).
And no, it should not be punishable. And ######### NO, they are not 'asking for it' to be verbally abused, threatened, and told to off themselves because some survivors are freaking babies who can't stand losing.
1 -
Or maybe its a killers are freaking babies and can't play without chasing the weakest??
0 -
That's how the game works. We kill the weakest links quickest, which slows down gens and healing speeds, and buys us more time to kill the rest. That's literally the smartest way to swing the balance of power in a 1v4.
In a 1v4; the 4 have power AS A 4-group! Once we whittle that down; the balance of power swings our way. It's called 'being intelligent'.
Are you really whining that Killers should handicap themselves for your benefit by ignoring the weakest Survivors? And THAT is your excuse to be a toxic a-hole? 😂
Congrats; you're part of the problem with this game. Stand proud, knowing you treat other players, other HUMAN BEINGS, like dirt because they win in ways that you don't like. Boo-hoo. 😥
What a 🤡

My last three attempts to reply were eaten... Anyway, I think what's happening is you're reading too much into this. Your approach is 'it's prevalent so it would be better for you if you ignored it'. Whether that's usable, agreed with or possible, that's advice. I'm referring to attitudes such as 'don't be weak', 'grow up', etc. That's encouraging abusive behaviour and may be abusive.
To be honest, I don't consider facecamping, tunneling or genrushing to be toxic. They're effective. While games such as Shadowbane and WoW's decline have shown us that reducing toxicity is best, the onus for enjoyment for both sides is on the designers, not the players. I don't tunnel, gen rush or facecamp since they're not fun but I also don't care if I win. Nobody else but me has to use my playstyle and the onus is on the designers to make effective enjoyable for both sides.
I hope that clarifies my position. Giving advice is not abusive. Telling someone that it is their fault if abusive behaviour bothers them is encouraging abusive behaviour at the least.
Also, responding to abusive messages in kind is a human reaction. While I can definitely picture you responding in kind and probably with more wit that's human. Sometimes everyone says something they regret: that's human. If it's a pattern, then that's probably abusive.
Anyway, I hope that clarifies my position on that. I apologize but I do think you were overreading.

Turn off your messages and keep it to friends only. That what I do now. Microsoft doesn't take kindly to swears or death threat even ddos. I have reported people who wished death for losing or being sore winner. I'm not sure what texts you are getting but if it bad then it considered a report.

Oh boy, if you intendd to blacklist every game were this happens to you then you are gonna have to play offline games and never pay online ever again.

Is that true though? I'd certainly be saying the same thing. Turn off chat and ignore it

Are you not on xbox? Change your settings so you can't receive messages from people not on your friendlist. If you don't wanna do that, just don't open messages you get from unknown people? It's more ridiculous that you can't seem to be able to handle that yourself
