Why are both sides so toxic in this game

I don’t understand why both survivors and killers need to be so toxic in this game. Today I had two fengs flashlight clicking at me even tho I was not camping or tunneling. Luckily I killed them. And then I get a ghostface and Myers hitting me on the hook back to back games. And the ghostface was tbagging too. Why are people like this? Stuff like that just makes me not want to play at all

    I flashlight click the heck out of everyone. Flashlight click the killers and my survivors. I know that a lot of people see it as toxic, but if killers didn't see it as toxic that would be even better. I'm not sure why I do it, but I'd still like to be on decent terms with the killer by the end of the game, and if they DC after I flashlight click I do feel kind of crappy.

    But it's like. It's just there's no real way to emote or gesture or do anything in this game? Our only way to really exist is through flashlight clicking or teabagging. Now obviously I don't tea bag, but I just love to click click click. At pallets, right before going down, before unhooking the fellow survivor, in between skill checks while working on gens. It's just really really fun to clickly click.

    Again, I know some people mean it as a mockery, and I know that killers may see it as toxic. But I'll keep on using my flashlight despite that (Not because of it.) If there was a way to signal, 'No toxic, only clicky' I would. So far my method has been to click it towards the sky when using it at killers, a few killers have made comments in the post game saying 'I saw the bat signal!' which means it kind of works some of the time.

    I like to teabag ghostie, he does it back, lots of fun. Greatest insult is a ghostie that won't teabag back honestly. I've only ever hit people on hook when I was beyond tilted, and then I promptly made that my last game for the day.

    They were probably just trying to tell you something via Morse code.

    what ive learned over my years of gaming & experience with multiplayer is that some people just have no lives.

    they just try to poison the experience for everyone since their not having fun and want others to feel the same

    single player >multiplayer

    I think the 4v1 adds to it.

    The killers feel bullied. There are 4 opponents who can coordinate against them, while they themself feel purposefully powerless and handicapped (because they have to be, for the new/solo survivors' sake; and for the devs to maintain a 4:1 queue ratio)

    The survivors feel oppressed. There is 1 dictator who can choose to ruin the experience for 1 or more players by camping and tunneling (neither chasing the same person repeatedly, nor staying near the hook, require perk slots; meanwhile, survivors can dedicate 3 or 4 perks slots to "countering" these to no avail)

    • It is a Multiplayer game.
    • It is a cheap Multiplayer game (at least the Basegame). Games which have a high Base-Cost are usually less toxic (if you pay 80 Bucks to play a game you will think twice if you want to be toxic to risk getting banned)
    • It is an easy game with low skill needed, which means that players dont have to focus that much and get bored earlier, which results in them more likely being toxic.

    People just like making the other side feel bad for no reason

    Because the game heavily favours 'toxicity'.

    because pvp games are frustrating, people gonna have hard times in sustaining their emotion in their own head.
