No need to be sorry but to answer your question survivors will always be survivors (not all of them, i have run into a few chilled players) if they lose they will insult you if you lose and they all get out same thing.

If need be turn off the chat window so you don't have to put up with the insults. if they are to bad i.e they turn them into racist comments then you can report them for it. Otherwise just leave the end screen and move onto the next match and hope you get better players.

what kind of insults? if its ingame trash talk then theres nothing wrong.

everytime i run killer all game ill send a "gg ez" just for a light jab & nothing more.

if its slurs and of that nature then yes "insults" are bad and shouldnt be in any game community

Just ignore them. It's nothing personal. They don't see you as a person, they see their idea of 'a killer' and what that should be.

Some people just like to take everything out on others, thinking that might make them less miserable (it won't).

The answer is simple: these kind of survivors (not all of them, fortunately), are just [insert good insult here] who enjoy being able to taunt killers against whom they manage to get away, but who run to their mothers' skirts as soon as a killer takes over 🤔

The best thing to do is to ignore them 😉

don't play by their rules, if you want camp do it, if you want tunnel do it, you payed for this game and you have the right to play how you want... honestly i just stopped to play chill and went full tryhard mode each match that i did since i'm always aganist people who want being pricks... the few time that i try to play "fair" i'm rewarded with disrespect and toxicity... they remember me why i switched my type of gameplay

what logic??

have you ever played sports?? its trash talk.

plus why are people so sensitive playing ONLINE multiplayer games??

simple, just stick to single player if a "gg wp" or a "gg ez" can REALLY get you riled up.

edit: im sorry but you cant change my mind that ingame trash talk is fine, as long as its in the confines of the game and not a personal attack then all is fair especially if you lose. if you get salty or want to cry over it then by all means do it but theres nothing wrong or toxic about it.

you shake hands right after dont you & say good game?? is this hysterical?

what part am i insulting someone?

am i reading this correctly that a "gg ez" and a "gg wp" is toxic?

well obv you cant read tone off msg or text but its meant as a tease??

plus just disable chat, why even have the option to have players message you if a "gg ez" could be triggering??

so its a mocking phrase?? a degrading one at that? my question is how is it translated to all that from one phrase?

ive had girls on the other softball team that i would play back in hs & would always tease them that theyre bad & whoever won would rub it in but it was always competitive not disrespectful?? so sorry but my mindset comes from that and hope you can see why im confused to how its different in gaming.

Short answer: People are selfish, ignorant and bullying makes them feel good.

Sadly you are dealing with a lot of losers. Frankly if they had real lives they wouldn’t be so horrible to others (because they would have courtesy).

ok im starting to see where im wrong at...

im very sorry everyone on this thread for being absolutely oblivious to this, ill do better & thank you for explaining it to me.

i cant believe ive been using it wrong in gaming for 2 years now.. i feel bad and didnt know i was actually being toxic :((

and yeah death threats deserve a suspension or ban.

I don't see killers with thousands of hours chase one survivor the whole game. Tunnelling yes, actively throwing in that specific way, no.

Okay, after reading your other replies i understand were you are coming from but what you always have to keep in mind with text only messages, people will nearly always assume the worst especially with such a widespread term that is negatively viewed by society.

Another aspect is that text messages are flat, there is no body language, no facial expression and no intonation to understand. All aspects that can switch the meaning of a phrase into the complete opposite.

The best example is written sarcasm, which basically NEEDS an indicator (/S on forums) because there is no sarcastic tone accompanying it to make the irony clear.

Heh I feel for you, but yeah:

gg ez = "Haha, that was such an easy game for me, get better scrub"

gg wp = "Hey that was a fun game and you played well"

The first is a legit intended insult. The second, some people who are salty about losing will just feel even more so. Personally I don't care on the second. If someone is too insecure or sensitive or whatever to accept a handshake and an honest compliment, that's on them. Being a jerk and intentionally insulting someone with a "gg ez" is one thing, but slapping the hand of someone who say "gg wp" in offering a handshake in the spirit of good sportsmanship puts you on about the same level imo.

yeah i get it now that its hard to express a tease or sarcasm.

i did not know it was so negative till multiple people on here were getting on me & i was on reddit for a good half-hour reading every topic and debate if gg ez is toxic or not. come to find out yes majority of people do say that and now i feel like an idiot ://

youre right.. it seems some reflection is on the horizon for me :]

im the type to go to the eeeeeennnds of earth to get my point across if im right.

but if im wrong & proven wrong then no other way am i right??

some people argue just to argue but i dont see the point in that?

if im wrong then im wrong. simple as that :))

This is why I never like the "its just trash talk bro" argument. Many competitions both enforce and have a minimum expectation of respect, and even when they don't, you run the risk of getting knocked the hell out if you act disrespectful and show poor sportsmanship.

People do it because it has no risk and they're petty. Its literally because they couldn't get away with doing it in person.

I think this is a case where the anonymity of the internet gets people thinking they can be/get away with worse than they would try if face to face.
