Why do people who lose get mad when the winner says gg
I say gg after every single match no exception it doesn't matter how bad i lost or how much i won but some people take it as a personal attack when i say gg after i beat them? can someone explain this to me?

I got harassed enough that I turned off my messages
I play on console and switched to accepting messages from friends only pretty early on. That way I can just play the game without concerning myself with any what anyone has to say about how I played. I play in accordance with my own sensibilities, and don't sweat the rest.
But I have played and watched enough games (DBD and otherwise) in my time to know that the dynamics are pretty much universal, and post game chat, much like YouTube comments, are just better ignored. But if you're going to do it, do it with integrity and respect.
i get dead harded to every window/pallet - not saying gg
i get destroyed by a killer with 4 slowdown perks - not sayin gg
soo many variables in this game to just be happy with the outcome, if it was a close game fair enough.
Oh now that's just confusing
GG is usually only typed by the winning side. In (not so) extreme cases it is usually followed by an EZ associating "GG" with Get good or some other way to rub it in the killers face after Crouch spamming at the exit gate until the counter ticks down to 0 or the killer forces them out.
To be fair, there are some matches where a "gg" is more snarky than sportsmanship.
For instance, match starts, 2 DC (for baby reasons), the other 2 are trying to make a match of it, but the fully meta Blight camps and the match is hosed. It was a solo que match and the guy camped used BPS. The killer then says "gg".
Seriously, just stop it. Don't say anything. If someone is going to camp at 5 gens in a 2v1 in solo que, just take your BP and leave. Don't pretend to jave a shred of decency in you. lol
Otherwise, in most cases, it's just people who don't want to lose. More importantly, they don't know how to lose gracefully.
That's an interesting discipline I never thought of it as potentially rubbing it in I think I'm gonna start doing that too.
I take it as insult. Especially if I get 0k. You can't tell me gg wp. It's not ok. I did bad if I hooked only 2-3 times and got 5 boring minutes. It's not a gg. It's big BG.
better to not say anything, even a ggs<3 like one of the posters above can be perceived as rubbing the W in your face
I've always seen it as bad sportsmanship to say gg as the winner if the loser hasn't said it yet, especially if the match was a stomp.
i got some serious "noob, newb" vibes from this
because they are bad losers who can't take a loss, If your being a prick and gloating like one, than you are asking for hostility but when someone starts throwing a ######### fit after GG they are the problem not you. yea losing is not fun but that's what happens when a game is PVP.
the GG Git Gud thing is a darksouls meme
The day people start saying gg when i win beyond a rare outlier, i will change my view.
Its like rubbing salt into a gaping wound you may have just cut open. They probably had an AWFUL game light years away from good then getting told "Good Game" turns into, "Yeah, I know you had a good game, mainly because it made ME wanna blow my brains out". It's like one of those poorly made *You Tried* stickers, I'd prefer just being left alone rather than fed pity or tone deaf sportsmanship. Extra points if the GGer was in a toxic team with a full meta loadout.
This. I usually won't say gg first if I win.
i mean not really it could still be a close fun game even if the killer 4ks or the survs 4 escape
Thinking about it, if someone wins then maybe they could understand that a quick message like "gg" could easily be misinterpreted.
When I send compliments (win or lose), it's always referencing an aspect of their gameplay. That comes across as a genuine compliment more than a couple of letters and is normally appreciated.
I still maintain the fault of negative interpretation lies solely at the feet of the person receiving an intended compliment, but it is important to be genuine. If someone doesn't think the opponent played well, just don't message, or wish them luck in their next trial.
By saying GG first, you are the one taking charge in a social situation, taking "the lead".
The Winner has no reason not to say GG, and if they do say it first, they start off as being viewed as "sporting". So it's a win/neutral for them. They get to be seen as sporting, and they won, or it's just a match if they say nothing. However if the Winner says GG first, the Loser is now socially obligated to be "sporting" by once again following the Winners lead and saying GG, or be viewed as "unsporting". so they are in a neutral/lose situation.
If the Loser says GG first, they come across as "sporting", hey they lost, but they still said GG? Well look at that. They are a "Winner" in that social context. And the Winner is in a neutral social position, apart from the Win that they just had. It's nice and even. And if the Loser doesn't say anything, well, they did lose, it's just a match anyway, and so it remains a neutral.
By saying GG first, as the Winner, you are showing good initiative, however you are forcing the Loser to follow you once again or lose again. Essentially reinforcing that they lost.
