How do you guys brush off toxic comments post game?

I'm a bit of a sadist, so having my actions in game (not even toxic ones btw) proven by endgame chat to be emotionally hurting people irl is an immense turn on for me. I imagine them crying, slamming keyboards, punching their screens, screaming at the game etc, and I can't help but feel a huge rush when they let it all out in chat. If they escalate it to death threats, racist/homophobic/antisemitic slurs, then the rush gets even better as I hit the report button knowing that the in-game chat logs are saved and can be viewed by the devs, meaning an inevitable ban is likely in their future (which will hurt the pathetic loser(s) even more). If however I'm just not in the mood that day (like when i'm just focusing on getting points during 2x point events) I just close the chat and play on in peace. Obviously however, not everyone can be a sadist like me, and so I have some advice for that:

No one deserves abuse for playing a game, especially playing it well, and while some like myself thrive on it, it admittedly can go too far. In those moments either keeping the chat closed, or reporting the turds and shrugging it off is typically the best medicine. The biggest thing to remember when playing is that if you win and did nothing toxic like abuse the games mechanics/bugs to do so, then it's not you they are really mad at, its their own performance during the match and the games legal mechanics (the mori system in your case), and they're just taking out their frustrations on you to make themselves feel better. It's very pathetic, and often times hilarious how they can get so worked up on a game that they take the time after the match to vomit up a slurry of mindless anger on their keyboards to express their obvious insecurities.

You did nothing wrong, and the game not only allowed what you did, but it encouraged it. There's no reason you should feel bad about it, and the person who slammed you with their filth doesn't have a case against you. They were just unlucky to be the one you mori'd, and took it in poor sportsmanship like an over entitled brat. If they said anything truly nasty, then by all means report them, shrug it off for what it is, have a laugh about it and close the chat to play on in peace if it bothers you.

Its posts like this one that make me want to remind people of the only "Unwritten Rules" I believe everyone should have in mind when playing this game (feel free to skip the rest of my comment if you've already heard all of this before):

1 - Play how you want to play and enjoy the game.

2 - Respect is akin to Newtons 3rd law: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. Ergo, if you show no respect, don't expect any.

3 - The Killers role is to kill, the Survivors is to survive... Both by any means necessary. Hate the game, not the player.

4 - When the gates are powered... Anything goes.

5 - You paid money for a multiplayer experience, and thus aren't entitled to win every match. Anyone who takes umbrage to this should stick to single-player games where-in you are entitled to win for the money you paid. Being salty because of a lost match is unbecoming, embarrassingly juvenile, and toxic to the communities reputation. We're all people pitting our skills, strategies, and knowledge against each-other. If you lose and have nothing good to say: Leave a "gg," calm down/lick your wounds, and move onto the next match.

6 - (For PC players anyways) Post game chat can be closed using the ">>" in the lower right of the chat box, and will remain closed until you either open it again or restart the game. No one deserves abuse, so if you find yourself frustrated over excessive endgame chat toxicity: Just close it, and continue enjoying the game in peace.

7 - This is a 4v1 Lobby and Match style Multiplayer game. When you queue up to play a match you are committing to seeing it through so that everyone can enjoy the game, and everyone else who queued up is depending on your commitment to the match in order to experience said enjoyment. The acceptable reasons for Intentionally Disconnecting from a match are as follows:

1. A Game breaking bug rendering you incapable of playing a normal match.
2. A Player(s) taking the game hostage/hacking/exploiting bugs or game mechanics/bullying or griefing you. (Report these ones after leaving the match)
3. Influences and situations outside of the game that make your disconnection unavoidable in order to deal with said circumstances.

Disconnecting from a match intentionally for any other reason is a practice in bad sportsmanship that Ruins the experience for all other players. Disconnecting over petty reasons doesn't do anything other than piss off everyone else, and makes you a worse player for it since you don't learn how to play any better by quitting. Too many DC's from too many players can also result in leaving the community as a whole with a sour experience, and could eventually kill the game we love. If you are frustrated with how a match is going; Take it in stride as a learning experience, see it through to the end, take a break, and decide if you want to queue up for another match. We all bought this game in order to play it with others despite how each match goes, and the majority of the fun this game offers is in the variation of each individual match.

Don't be a petty DC'er.
