I know I just made post about toxic survive with friends but now I’m running into toxic killers now. I swear I’m so frustrated with these players. I haven’t even camped or tunnel recently cause I like to try to have more fair matches from time to time. I don’t even teabag at the killer or flashlight spam or whatnot I just do my own thing like running away from them, doing gens, and whatnot. I know people can be jerks but I just feel that lately it’s been getting out of hand for me personally. I’m sorry for ranting and rambling but again I’m just really frustrated with having to keep making a ton of reports like this cause I block these players again for a reason. I also know blocking does not help either. Again I’m sorry for ranting and rambling on about this nonsense I just need to maybe take a break or something I don’t know what to do anymore . Thank you all for reading this and have a nice day.


Edit: Thank you everyone to listening to me ramble but anyway I know I overreacted a little bit but I was just really frustrated. I am just take a long break and come back when I feel a little better. But anyway thank you again and hope to see all of you in the fog.

    Perhaps your definition of bullying probably doesn't match other peoples. 'Toxicity' isn't an objective definition. Some people are just playing and other individuals are deciding that (usually, since they are losing) it is now 'toxic' behavior.

    I think my bad personality is good enough reason, isn't it?

    The way this game is objective wise its almost impossible to not make someone feel bullied, you're either winning or you're not I mean you wouldn't be saying all this if you were the one winning those games but for whoever lost it's rare to find players that just don't care either way and that's important to having fun with this game is remembering that you could lose to someone only to play them again in the next couple matches and demolish them, it all boils down to not taking the game too seriously just have fun and quit taking things personal.

    If it make you feel better they're probably gonna go against a sweaty killer next time.

    Well I had a Nurse wack me on hook and a Leatherface basically do the same thing but was nodding their up and

    down. I mean I admit I did overreact a little bit but I was just frustrated cause it basically happened twice in a row.

    Oh geez I’m so sorry to hear that and I swear why do players need to say that stuff like that? I mean stuff like that is super sensitive and wrong. But anyway I know how you feel and glad you had fun either way and hope everything else goes well with you.

    Sometimes it is hard to understand someone's intentions until you get to the end game chat.

    The cycle of revenge is unending. That killer that treated you badly could have been a survivor who got camped out the last match.

    This tension and frustration are the core of this experiment we participate in.

    The thing is, you can't change other people. You will always come across killers or survivors who do or say things to upset you. That won't stop. So all you really can change is how you react to it.

    For me, I just have the mindset that it's just a game. It's not that deep. Nodding, tbagging, whatever, pressing a button makes them feel good. Being camped, oh well I'll hang here for as long as I can and we'll just chill together. Tunnelling, oh well, maybe next game will be more interesting. Flashlights, I have Lightborn so I'm good.

    Yeah bullying killers and survivors that did nothing wrong isn’t nice.

    A camping bubba that’s camping because he got run for 3 gens on the other hand definitely gets teabagged like idgaf.

    Lol at bragging about running a bubba for 3 gens like 3 gens being done at first down isn't the norm

    The games objective be it killer or survivor has nothing to do with people being bullied, it's the person playing survivor or killer that is out to bully the other side, doing gens or hooking/killing survivors is part of the game objective but when that 1 player desired to start to bully the other side then that is on that person not the objective of the game.

    Some matches you will win others you will lose but the choice to bully someone is the personal choice of that player, people might say its just a game don't let it get to you but no one knows whats going on in the players life that you thought it was a good idea to bully or even how they might feel or act after the match.

    Bullying no mater which way you try to twist it is still bullying at the end of the day and more people need to think is it worth bullying the other person, could my bullying have a impact on them irl you will never know.

    You havent overreacted too much. You have valid points and toxicity is an issue, yes toxic can be subjective due to other people not caring, but antagonizing and bullying has a set definition. And people like to single others out in this game and to purposely make them feel bad or angry. You werent wrong and deserve to feel this way.

    Thank you for understanding and I appreciate it. 😊

  • Robotfangirl67
    Robotfangirl67 Member Posts: 669

    That is very true, heck even some people refuse to change which is sad but like you said it’s just how some people are.

    But your other point is very interesting and I may tried to relax more often even it can be hard since I’ve have some stress issues. So yeah if I have I bad match I may bring ds, deadhard, no Ed even though I don’t like using them but they are sometimes necessary or some of type of meme build or sorts.

  • Robotfangirl67
    Robotfangirl67 Member Posts: 669

    Yeah I agree why messed with people in general? But again some people are just crazy and not nice sometimes.

    Also I kind of understand about the camping Bubba cause that can be kind of frustrating too sometimes. I also understand that sometimes killer will camp even though again it not fun to be camped or heck like I said even though I camped in the past it was boring. Killers camp because sometimes they have too sometimes even though it’s not fun. But I also know perks like ds, dead hard, No-Ed, etc are necessary sometimes. By bringing tools like that to help you help make matches somewhat easier.

    Somethin that always makes me feel better when games are goin rough....

    Grab a killer you like to play, go into a match, then just have some fun. Chase ppl down without hittin em, down em then let em wiggle out, drop em by a gen, do stuff to let em know youre just goofin around and watch how they respond. Most ppl will play along and do some silly stuff with you. I like to slowly peek out from a wall so survivors can only see my glove, then hit the dream snare button so it looks like im wavin at em. It sounds dumb, but sometimes its good to simply get some laughs outta the game. I spent like 5 minutes the other night just dancin with a survivor on top of the tables in Dead Dog. Try it.


    (Obviously, youre gonna lose the match...so if youre tryin to pip, do it at the start of a rank or when youre iri 1)

  • Robotfangirl67

    That’s a interesting idea even though I don’t really farm much as killer but I don’t know I may think about it. I usually just play regularly as killer like trying to get a good amount of hooks, chases that’s are not too long, and applying gen pressure. So I may again think about it but anyway thank you for the recommendation.

  • ausanimal
    ausanimal Member Posts: 542

    You don't have to farm to have some fun with killers i get my bbq stacks then just have fun after but i will still chase them and once i got them into dying state i'll leave them. there are a few killers you can have fun with and even make up some rules to follow like for me the pig if i get 1 boop on the snoot i let them escape. it sounds easy but a lot off people won't or don't know how to boop the snoot had a match a while back and it was the persons first time booping the snoot so they were excited that they got to do it at last.

    Even ghost face stand at a window and go up and down and see if survivors will do the same back but my best one so far is myers on meat plant got my stacks then went downstairs to where the TV is and stood there watching it, not long after the survivors joined in just watching it. went to the streamers stream after the match and they were having a lough with what happened.

    The developers encourage it or else they would take steps to stop it.

  • ausanimal
    ausanimal Member Posts: 542

    They do take steps not everyone is able to record the match but they can take screen shots of the chat at the end or even have time to start to record stuff, If things get to bad people will send the info across and they will act based on what evidence you sent them.

    instead of passing the blame on to someone else why not as a community step up and do whats right, i'm pretty sure most people can tell the difference between bullying and having a bit of a banter in matches between both sides.

    People like to just hate on people who have a different opinion than you, without explaining or just agreeing to disagree. They'd rather just say that you're stupid or call you names instead of having a conversation. Disappointing.
