I'm disappointed to see this.
Disclaimer: this thread is NOT to discuss whether or not Spirit needs a nerf or change. Keep that in other topics.
I am trying to get the adept achievements for the killers I have, and so far i've gotten the ones for the Legion, Hag, and Pig. Right now i'm going for the Spirit's. I'm doing my best to max my emblems, and so far I haven't been able to get a 4k. Ruthless is the best I can do, but i'm working on it.
The only real issue I find.. is the abuse. The verbal abuse that comes from playing spirit is really really bad. Almost every game I get people saying one of many things, some of which I will list below.
- calling me dumb (they say other words but you get it)
- calling me weak for choosing a strong killer
- extreme in game BM
- reporting me for using the spirit
- racism
- DCing and waiting until the end of the round to throw verbal harassment at me
- calling me bad at the game because they were playing in swf and the last got hatch
- 'gg ez' when they get hatch due to luck
I just wish that people had manners or would respect my choices to play who I want. Like I mentioned, i'm trying for adept so im not even using that strong of a perk loadout. Im missing a freaking perk for gods sake!
Sure, I might use a pink and purple addon setup, but I never use prayer beads. It's not fun for me. But they still harass me. I'm lucky if I get a GG or even silence in the post game chat.
I have reported most of the worst people using the in-game report system. Though, this doesn't really do much as I don't know what the devs consider bannable in regards to harassment.
*I play on PC and I used to main Spirit but i've been venturing on to other killers lately.

"The more I know people, the more I like my dogs" - someone
Yeah...people can be pretty #########...

I could, but I guess my point is that people should be respectful so I don't have to turn off my end game chat.

Yesterday someone said this exact quote.
"I'm glad they made DBD accessible. You have to be disabled to play a sh*t killer like that"

How do you know you're of ethnic diversity that's the real question?

Survivors: say the things OP mentioned
Also survivors: shocked when killers stop caring if the survivors have fun
There is a bright side. After about 1000 hours, you develop a thick exoskeleton against salt because you realize it'll come your way no matter how you play or which killer/build you use.

well I am Caucasian but they love to spit racial slurs no matter if they know that or not.

unfortunately, this comes with a lot of communities for competitive games. it's just something you have to deal with.
however, you can report racial chat logs and such for unsportsmanlike conduct at the end of the game! it's worth it!

Use the beads if they're going to act like ######### anyways. Get the achievement and never use them again if you find them morally wrong.

One advantage of playing on ps4... less of that.
Person needs to be really salty to bother writing a msg on ps4.

Honestly, try to view it as funny. You made this person so mad that they felt the need to lash out. I get a good laugh when people message me and insult me because, it's a damn game. I know it isn't as easy as it sounds but like they say gg ez on a 1 person hatch escape, all you gotta think (or better yet, say) is "Ah, is that why 3 of your teammates died?". It's fun to see the B.S. excuses they come up with. "UH WELL You camped." "UH WELL You tunneled." "Yeah well I don't even have my normal build so." All it is is some random guy on the internet who is upset because he didn't have a perfect game. Try to think of it that way and hopefully you can start laughing at it.

Oh also, report them for chat abuse. I'm sure they'll get a warning and later a ban from the Devs.

I report the worst as well just to try and help clean up our community.
I try to not take it personally as they are just venting against the faceless "tryhard" "sweaty" killer. You will get crap no matter how fair you think you are being.
I try to have empathy for them, as they are obviously unhappy with their own lives.
Turning off the chat is good, but reporting them might save someone else from their abuse.

The best thing to do as a Spirit player is to first get your favorite drink and get some popcorn as well before the match starts. You're not going to touch that drink or popcorn for the entire match. Then you just don't say anything when post chat comes and pick up your drink take a sip and enjoy the popcorn. Or you can try to be positive to see if anyone in post chat is nice because they do exist but rarely speak D:. Or you can just do the obvious less interesting option and turn off post chat.

That happens with every killer. Not just spirit.

This. I have been told to kill myself several times cause I use LEGION! Legion of all killers. I get called names, taunted, accused and all this other stuff. Why? It's a game! People should remember that on the other end of that screen there is another human being. They should be more respectful and not being salty little butt hurt bastards. I'm sorry you have had to deal with that. Just saying "Close Post game chat" or "Ignore it" isnt enough. I'm sorry that these people have treated you this way ONLY cause of the Killer you play. Imagine judging someone cause of the group of Pixels they are using. If you ever need to vent or anything, hit me up. I'll try and help best I can. Ya might be a Piggy, but The Legion is here for you too.

Thank you everyone for all the kind suggestions. At least the forums has reasonable people. I'm gonna go use my beads now and have a good laugh. I have candy too :)

EDIT: I got the achievement! And I didn't get near so much hate this time around.

congrats! we're proud of you! :D

Just don't let it get to you. I compliment survivors who message me after games (Ps4 doesn't have after game chat) and alot of them hate it. Crap talk comes naturally to some people because that's how they vent their frustrations or they don't win much and they blame all killers, If it goes too far, you can always report them for harassment. And before anyone says anything, yes, they do ban people for death threats and the like. It does suck people can be mean and there isn't much that can be done, but being positive annoys those toxic people. So being positive is my advice.

Congratulations! It's good that you went through all this sea of negativity.

Congrats! I unlocked her last night and did a joke match w/ only her perks / no addons last night and only got my rancor kill at the end (he also popped my haunted grounds early on, and lockered. I only found him thanks to a gen popping with rancor rofl). Tonight I got it thanks to it being a mixed group of SWF

It's not my fault.
I'm just wearing a blindfold
And I'm not even trying
And it isn't even me playing, it's my little brother
And I'm not even born yet anyways
Also someone came in and unplugged the controller.

Anyways my solution is to smile.
I'd love to do something else but it's just so satisfying to see someone get so tilted over losing.
Of course I'm always happy to give tips on how to not lose in the future, but if someone is going to call me something I'm not then well... keep doing it because I can't help but smile when you do.

I find its funny that if you have a bad match as other Killer, most you get will be "ezzz, noob, useless..."
But if you have a bad match as Nurse, most you get will be "gg"
I guess Survivors respect bad Nurse, but salty over good Nurse

funny thing is I had the opposite people were bullying a baby nurse. I warned them to watch the ######### talking cause once a baby nurse gets good they'll remember how they were treated when learning
