Why Do People Do This? (Post-Game Chat)
Was playing DBD and honestly I was not really playing that well. A lot of my matches have been losses and I went on a 12-match losing streak due to personal skill issue paired with awful luck, not that I mind, but it was rough. We got into a game versus a Demo which immediately raised my energy since I love Demo (I am a Demo main) and I love seeing people play Demo.
I had a Trans and Bi Pride charm equipped btw (and no other charms since I refuse to mess with the Charm UI until it is changed), they made other comments about my identity.
As screenshots imply, I have a hearing impairment, and I often have to rely on the visual Terror Radius to tell if the Killer is nearby.
I could not hear the Survivor Grunts of Pain and accidentally ran the Killer towards other Survivors, since I was just naturally running to areas that had resources since my teammates used all the pallets at the central map. I was not intentionally leading the Killer to them, it was entirely accidental.
Keep in mind as well that this was Chaos Shuffle, and I didnt even have a single perk that gave me Aura Reading, so it's not like they were making assumptions based on my perks either.
Honestly Kev was nice the entire time and was trying their best to defuse the situation but past a certain point even they realized that it was pointless.
And Kev does make a good point here, it takes 2 seconds to queue into another game yet they decided to wait the duration of the match (they both died before me and Kev) just to say awful things in the Post-Game Chat. I dont understand why people do this? Like what does this accomplish?

Unfortunately, some people can be really toxic in the post game chat. There isn't really anything that can be done about it besides report them, hope they are punished, and move on. If it really does get to you, you can always turn post game chat off, there is absolutely no shame in doing that.
As for why? Some people are just hateful and bigoted, some people are mad and looking for someone to attack for their loss, some people are just looking for a reaction and trying to hurt people because they think it is funny. It can be hard to do sometimes, but the best thing to do it try to let it leave your mind and not dwell on it too much.
I hope your next games go better and you find some kinder teammates!3 -
I normally have Post-Game Chat disabled but I really like Demo and I wanted to talk to the Demo player since they were on PC. Unfortunately the Demo left instantly so I didnt get to say thing. </3

Some people simply have a really bad life, can't explain that to myself otherwise. It's quite something to have so much hate inside you, that you're wasting your time to insult random people in the internet xD

it’s becoming a stereotype that people with several of the LGBTQ+ type flags will play in a toxic or unfun manner. Usually tunneling as killer or playing selfishly as survivor. Because it has become a stereotype, it becomes the target of hate. Essentially they view the flags not as a symbol of inclusion but as a symbol of toxic or sweaty gameplay. Your actions they accused you of affirmed the bias and stereotype adding fuel to their fire of hate. A sort of “I told you so” that is similar to the “like a moth to a flame” or “well well well” comments you see on social media about minorities.
as for what it accomplishes…it’s about ego. Say what ya will about Freud but he was right about the human need to preserve ego. People want to be in the right, they want to feel justified, and want to belittle what they don’t like for a sense of superiority. We all do it, some people are just more rude about it than others. Going off on you and being mean makes them feel better about themselves and feel better by upsetting you.That being said, I’m on your side about the whole thing. I can hear fine but even then I cannot hear gens or others because of the chase music being so damn loud. Chaos shuffle seems to attract the most toxic members of the community in my experience and I avoid it at all costs. DBD in general has been getting increasingly toxic, so it may be a good idea to turn off post game chat.

People like this have no rules. No boundaries. They don't flinch at torture, human trafficking, or genocide. They're not loyal to a flag or country or any set of ideals. They trade salt for toxicity.

Sad simple minded little people.
Hiding behind a video game chat is pathetic.
You're already the bigger person and if you don't want to turn off chat just ignore the comments they're not worth bothering about.
Hopefully you experience better games and chat in the future.

Based on how they communicate, I'm guessing you were talking with a kid. No matter what you say, they won't back down. They're too dumb to understand your reasoning, and too stubborn to admit when they are wrong. It's a complete waste of time engaging with idiots like that.
That being said, I'm sorry you encountered a twirp with defective social skills. Hopefully it didn't completely sour your evening.

Their attitude sucks, and I’m sorry that happened to you.
A couple of things that I can think about that would probably help with your hearing impairment if you can’t hear grunts of pain is running bond or empathy. So that if you know you’re in a chase you can try to avoid accidental sandbagging. I hope this helps. None the less what happened has nothing to do with your identity. Stay beautiful <30 -
I love EGC personally. Bring it on.
