Does "Feel sorry for you" sounds insulting?
I have question, I recently had match against Face camping Nemezis. And when in endgame chat I said that I feel sorry for him, he consider that I'm insulting him, is it something wrong with me or that person, because i was saying true feeling about that. And later that guy came to my stream and started fraud me that he will report me to BHVR as insulting streamer and bla bla... I got weird after taste but this is crynge.

Are you telling me you didn't mean it as an insult? Because that comes across as mad patronising and an attempt to trigger someone. Especially if they lost. (Idk you didn't mention) like it's a roundabout way of saying they're so bad at the game you pity them.
If triggering isn't your intention and you want to show good will to a bad killer i just tend to stick with "gg and gl with your next game"

Well, you'll never know what other people might consider insulting. - As a rule it goes like this: people are free to feel insulted by anything but you're not obliged to prevent their feeling insulted.
You only have to ask yourself one question: Did you use overtly insulting language (e.g. swearing, curse words, words labelled as insults) and/or was your intention to make them feel insulted/cause them to feel hurt? If the answer is no then, well, they could very well take whatever you say as an insult - at the same time it's a they and not a you problem.

Yes, I'm been honest, I just feel that when people playing toxic towards people in game, so they are probably lonely and angry or im wrong?

Often yes. But highlighting and reminding them of that isn't a way to make them feel better. Just show respect and if they engage more maybe help them along with a bit of game advice and friendliness. If they don't then at least you gave them a gg.

I don't see any insult from my side. But I wonder because it not first time when people came to my stream and taking words from context and scary me with possible ban on Twitch or DBD.

I would say it definitely comes across as an insult but I personally don't care if I win or lose it's only a game. Hey what do I know 🤣

You're being patronising and condescending. You're basically going "I feel like I get to look down on you and make judgements about your life and how pitiable you must be because of how you play a game".
Also, it's ridiculously obnoxious to start making grand, sweeping projections about somebody's life because of how they play a game.

But come on, a lot of people conducting violance towards people in game rather that in a real life (im not English main) and this are they real feels, to hurt someone.

That has nothing to do with... anything, really.
Saying "I feel sorry for you" is patronising in most contexts. Even if someone really does have reason to need the sympathy (like a relative just died), it's such a bad way to phrase it in English that you will insult someone. And using it in any other context--especially someone's video game skills--is simply condescending pity.

And im not judging anyone but worried my way, I have some struglle to express myself and I sick of tired to be missunderstood by people.

I personally don't really care about such comments as it is the mildest of insults but then again an insult nonetheless. You are making him out to be a pity case and that is not a nice thing to say.
You are wrong. A play style has nothing to do with a person's disposition, relational status or anything else for that matter. It is just how they play. Also, you have to start realizing that just because you don't think playing a certain way is fun or fun to play against that doesn't mean it isn't fun for someone else nor does it make someone else responsible for you having fun.
I camp, I slug and do everything else survivors whine about on a regular basis. Hell, if it were still possible to tunnel in this game then I'd be doing that too. Nothing scarier than systematic destruction. Don't get me wrong, I start my games off with regular play but if you:
- Use a Flashlight
- Use Dead Hard
- Crowd hooks
- Body block in general
- Have TTV in your name
- Finish more than 1 gen by the time I get my first hook
- Teabag
Then you can count on my full arsenal of underhanded tactic being brought to bare. Because this tells me, except for the TTV which is a matter of you making money out of my gameplay and you aren't paying me, that you are not there to have just a fun game.
But if I wouldn't do that, then it is still funny to me how survivor's expect the bad guy to not use underhanded tactics. It is not my job to ensure you have fun, my job is to provide the horror aspect of the game in the form of killing you in whatever manner. You agreed to that by joining the queue. I don't care if you have fun, I am just trying to win. That is all it is. If I get outclassed by a survivors but I don't feel the need to tell them off. I did my best, they were better. The whole notion that there is something like toxic how people play is ridiculous. Besides, if someone tries such tactics and fails then you feel a million bucks and the need to ridicule the killer. Me? I never say anything except for "GGz" and just move on to the next game.

Omg, just read again what u said. Most of things sounds pity, no abuse. Why we living in stereotype world and still trying making toxic behavior in game as a normal thing, and after just tap on a head toxic players an appreciate them? Just what is hell wrong with this world?? Im confused...

🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣 Your funny. Making money off my gameplay and I'm not getting paid 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Exactly, this is not possible, dude thinks he is a Star! xD

I'm not being patronizing, it's more laughing in endearment as I totally agree, that's a good reason than any to ensure victory against TTV/YT

It's an extremely condescending thing to express.
Even if your feelings are genuine, it would probably have been in that player's best interest to simply not write that and just go next.

I usually avoid chat, because what's the point talking to negative people? But in this special case he were camping me so I feelt sorry, only that

I'm sure it wasen't your intention but i can see how it could be seen as an insult.
Water under the bridge i'd say. You learned now so you won't accidentally insult someone like that in the future.
You shouldn't lose sleep over it

Try it sometime and then visit their live stream afterwards. It's good times hahaha.
- It is possible. Paypal is a thing.
- It is just funny to do and then tell them that. It's not like I'm serious, I don't care about the 5 to 50 cents it would amount to on average. I much rather troll them and then visit their live stream lol its funny to keep going on about it. They'll realize pretty soon that it is just for the funnies and it is in fact good for them because it is entertaining for chat :)

Would I be right in thinking that English isn't your first language? It might explain why you dont mean offense but people are taking offense.
Native speakers will understand colloquialisms, hidden meansings and slang that won't be understood by people who have english as a learned language

Dunno what happen with some of the killer recently, with this event, all killer are in tunnelling or camping mode... And when you say something like what you just said (or when most of the survivor escape and saying well done everyone) he got mad..
I think some people need to chill, and quick

Yeah it is.

Absolutely patronizing. It's like social etiquette 101.
Empathy, if it is genuine, is felt - not declared.

There is nothing wrong with the world. There is something VERY wrong with your world view. I am under no obligation to play the game in such a way that it will get your seal of approval. The only obligation I have is to play within the game's rules and, for me personally, to the best of my ability as I am of the opinion that is showing your opponents respect.
Can you give me a reason why I should play the game in a way that garners your approval? You are just a random on the internet. I don't give a hoot about what you think of the way I play. But I am interested in hearing why you think I should care.

I just learn that DbD has a lot of players in a soft shell, well better I will be moving to another games xD

Same apply to you, my dude.

I am not asking anyone to play a certain way. So definitely not the same as you. So how about you answer my question and explain your reasoning as to why I should adhere to the Nikatara69 Approved Playbook?

Closing this thread here, as it is going around in circles and uncivil.
Please remember while facecamping is considered unfun by many, it is not a reportable offense, as noted here in the Game Rules.
Being civil and respectful should be the cardinal rule when talking to others. Even if you don't feel something is offensive, it may be so. For such things, it is always best to err on the side of understanding, and refrain from making comments presuming things about others. This is not just a good rule for post-game chat, but here on the Forums, and anywhere on the internet, for that matter.
