This community is unbelivable toxic
How does it come that this community is so unbeliveable toxic? Just had a very bad game the survivors were a SWF way better as me, 3 flashlight allways safed themself.
Out of frustration of the game with 4 gens done and i only had 1 hook i left the game. In endgamechat they writing "ez" and tell me what a noob and what a bad killer I am.
Why is this community like this? I there there is no game i ever played where people where toxic to the opposide team after they crushed them into the ground (and thats basicly what they did).
And I played alot of "league of legends" in my life what is also known for a very salty community but tbh even that is nothing against DBD. And the worst part is that nothing what they did is against any rules. In dbd you are basicly allowed to be as toxic as you like and nothing speaks against it.

I've felt the same way for a while. Postgame chat is practically unmoderated unless you say very specific slurs, threats or illegal things. Sure, you can hide it, but everyone knows you can technically see it. I'd like the devs to take a serious look at post game chat and figure something out other than "Just hide it" to how toxic it is, especially in higher skill games or with more sweaty players.
I've written this in many posts on the forum already but I think people would be less toxic if it was possible to completely disable endgame chat, and any player with chat disabled had an icon on the postgame screen where it clearly showed that they don't have chat enabled, so there's no point in lashing out at them as they can't read it. That "no chat" icon would be helpful to see whose on console vs epic games store too. And it would lead to less chat to moderate for BHVR since there would be less chat in general. If you wanted to communicate with someone that has chat disabled, no worries, just add them in DBD and invite them to a party, or add them on their platform of choice unless they're anon mode.
For now, if you're bothered by post game chat I'd just keep it closed, or just immediately press continue, unless you want to check their builds and profiles or something. I find there isn't all that much to discuss, it's not like you can queue up with the survivors you match against if you're playing killer. Also, I that think the game having no chat bans and only having game bans is bad, because that means the only action BHVR can take against toxic chat is a full on game ban, which is too drastic to me. Every big online game I know has separate bans for game bans and chat bans. You should be allowed to play even though you're extremely toxic every single post game chat, but ideally you shouldn't be allowed to engage in chat at all if you can't behave. Honestly though, people could say whatever they wanted in post game chat for all I care as long as I could disable the feature completely and everyone could see I had it disabled, but for now just hiding it and moving on is the next best thing.

It's down to the luck of the draw. From my experience, I've been fortunate enough to only bump into a few bitter individuals. I could probably say there were more nice people than bad.
But that's no shade on you. I've seen those videos where people actively abuse and wish horrid things on others, as well as some who stream and send their audience to harass others. It's gross and it's not okay.
It sounds like this was one of those especially crappy games. Remember that, if you don't rise to them, then they lose that power. Having an argument against somebody who won against you will never be a good idea. On the other hand, I feel more should be done about BMing, and I feel that's more than a BHVR thing.

Ignore such people. Not worthy. I just hide chat if I feel I don’t want to deal with any salt
Higher MMR, less toxic people. Just my observation

I wonder why there's no option to block endgame chat and never see it again ? or I missed it ? you can do that in most games...
I know you can hide but you have to do it everytime you start the game, give me option to perma hide it, I don't need to read insults because I beat someone I want to see my score and leave

I agree with most of your points but not with this one:
For now, if you're bothered by post game chat I'd just keep it closed, or just immediately press continue, unless you want to check their builds and profiles or something.
Yes this works but its kinda the same advice if you tell a woman "if you dont want to get groped, just dont go into the disco" The problem is that if you have a unmoderated chat like this where it has no consequences you basicly are creating a toxicity spiral. Because humans are social animals if somebody is mean to you it drags you down.
They found in studys that even if the other participant knows that they are only insulting him because of the study it still drags you down.

I don't know if that's comparable. It's not like in real life where someone is mean face-to-face and you pretty much have to stand up for yourself. It's also not the same because nobody can force you to keep chat open, while someone can absolutely force you to confront them in real life, at least to an extent. It's just anonymous people on the internet hurling insults, people you'll never meet again. Plus you can just remove their messages with a button. Why engage with that unless you enjoy the toxicity? I'd say it's more like deliberately choosing to go to a store or club or something where everyone's incredibly rude, when you could just walk past it and not bother with it.
I've tried reporting people that are just blatantly rude in post game chat but I never get any notification that something happened, I don't enjoy it, so why bother with it, that's my view. I'm here to play the game, not to argue whose better at it after we've finished the match. I don't even really have anything to say anyway other than maybe a gg but meh. Who cares. Leave it and move on to the next match I say.

As a console player who doesn't have access to endgame chat, trust me when I say, people find plenty of ways to be toxic and unkind even without in game endgame chat. I just don't think that the devs and moderators of the community have done much of anything to foster any real empathy or kindness between players. Which is why you have rude SWFs like the one OP described, or killers that give a slugged survivor the hope of hatch just to slam it shut in their face.

I mean the comparison than when something happend people are telling the victim "why did you even go there?" or something like that.
The goal shoulndt be "well if you dont want to be insulted dont use the chat" if thats the attidude why is there a chat?

I'm on console so dont have this issue, but I've been a big supporter of them overhauling the thumbs up system to reward good teamwork/sportsmanship. If they did this, then they could probably just remove endgame chat altogether as those who wish to express positivity would still be able to and those who just wish to be an ass can keep it to themselves

after nine years of gaming I’ve seen it all in chat.
Best thing you can do is keep a healthy emotional distance from whatever gets typed.
At the end of the day, it says way more about the people saying it than it ever will about you.Or if they’re having a full-on after-chat meltdown, just hit them with a simple “gg” and leave.
Usually triggers them the most, since that stuff is just fishing for a reaction anyway.2 -
Meh. You have a way to avoid the toxic Endgame Chat (even tho I would also say that you should be able to disable it completely), if you do not use it, this is on you.
Not really compareable to IRL-Situations where you cannot just click a button and avoid it.

Just press the double arrow button next to where you write messages and it will minimizes the chat and if I am not wrong it will never reopen it unless you press it again.
I keep it open because there is way more positive interactions than those edgy people who think they annoy me when I am mostly laughing about their futile attempts. Most of those don't even get how foolish they act trying to rile you up.

Ok i'll try again but it resets when I close game, I stopped doing it a while ago because it kept resetting. They love doing QoL updates lately so I would prefer option in menu "hide endgame chat", shouldn't be too hard to implement

Just ignore these salty kids if you play killer theres much higher chance there will be someone offended by your gameplay and will be toxic to you. From my experience most toxic are the swf with full meta tryhards or sabbo, flashlight swfs that try to have win or make your game as much hard for you as they can by any means and are offended you won or sluged them fast so they couldnt do more sabbo.

I've never understood why people act out--both in-game and after--when someone wasn't playing dirty and they just had a bad game. I hate when I'm in soloq and my teammates taunt the killer for doing nothing wrong. If they tunneled or slugged or camped then a quick departure taunt is fine, but if you just had a bad match then why do you deserve it? Taunting during chases is also super obnoxious. Like why?
One nice thing about console is I don't have end game chat. Doesn't stop other console users from going to the trouble of typing my name in and sending me a message tho, which takes so much more effort. Sometimes I understand why many killer mains become bitter towards survivors and use gross tactics.
I will say though, if you have a bad match and you open the gates for them and start being silly, the tone often does a 180. It's hard when you're frustrated, but it can totally change the vibe.

You wonder why you don't see toxic people in other games because you can't talk with other people. Our current Internet is worse in every way imaginable thanks to nonstop moderation. It fixed nothing as toxic people won't stop being toxic and your average person doesn't even bother talking into the silent abyss.
If you played league you are straight fooling your self if you think you never had people bully you for how you played so most likely you just didn't play much or ignored it.

Because there is no real consequences for them doing so. Most of them do it because they can and use it to make themselves feel better as they pull happiness of other peoples unhappiness. Still most of them don't even get that people who are smarter than them don't care what someone says in video game chat. Like to me its just funny to read them going total nuts on the end game chat and me just writing to them total stoic answers. Its like their life validation depends on how toxic they can be towards other people in a game.

Another nice thing about console is that, if they don't word their messages very carefully, I can report them. And consoles will suspend you for literally anything. I have friends who want the end game chat to be universal and that's a hard pass for me.
I just remind myself that I'm probably twice the age of most of these people and that many are actual children.

Oh, no, you see, bullies should get everything and never get penalties. And if you're not fine with being insulted, just don't play the game. After all, it's your fault for reacting and having emotions /s
No, but really, the most common advice here is "Just not play the game if it gets to you that match, it's your fault for reacting"
