Why are some killers here so toxic and biased?
They resort to bullying everyone who makes a topic about survivor issues.

Oh boy. You've opened up a can of worms here.
I've mentioned this before. There is a heavy killer bias in these forums and anyone asking for improvements to survivor gameplay get talked down to and mocked.
On the other hand reddit is the opposite, it's very survivor sided and a lot of toxic things (disconnecting to give friends the hatch) is deemed as acceptable.
Because toxic and biased people exist everywhere on the internet.
Welp, that's all i can do as a member.
Maybe talk about it with a mod.
There isn't a heavy "killer bias" on the forums. What there is, is a large amount of people who strictly only play survivor with zero killer play or at least at any meaningful rank and then they post on here about things they aren't clear on. When people point out the fallacies in what they are saying, it's because they are "killer bias", when in reality it's just that the person starting the topic can't see things from enough perspectives and is unwilling to see that they may in fact just be wrong about what they think.
People here are more quick to jump at "survivor issues" because currently the killer issues are way greater with how unbalanced the game is. However the people playing mostly just survivor can't see this, hence this topic.
It happens with mains on both sides, this game has a heavy us v them playerbase and those are the people the game should never be balanced around.
The ones who understand the problems on both sides see the issues and discuss them but they also understand its not just game but a business at the end of the day, they use common sense and try to find some common ground instead of an "I want" or "your game will lose players if you don't" mentality, you will notice with those type of posters almost all of their posts are either derogatory to the devs or a way to try an invalidate your opinion by using a meme turning it around to the other sides point of view.
I usually see more survivor biased people in this forums and Steam forums than killer biased.
I consider myself pretty unbiased but I tend to complain more about survivors because I consider the game unbalanced favouring them due the fact of voice comunication and being four against 1 and also is way more common to suffer toxicity playing as killer. I play around 60% killer 40% survivor. There are things that annoy me when playing as suvivor too, of course, like tunneling or game related issues that favour killers such hitboxes.
Like for example?
They can agree with you everytime you complain about anytjing the survivors have but as soon as you mention something unfair on the killer side out come all the excuses.
To be fair, such threads & comments don't help.
I am a killermain and i feel disconnected to the killermains in here. You cant discuss anything slightest survivorfavored in here, before the deranking squad comes in and derails the thread about outdated stuff.
Outdated stuff? Funny. I guess then those new rounds of the No Pip Squad recently must have been hallucinations then.
I really don't understand why everyone here has to be so biased. It's not like any of your opinions stay the same. You play survivor for a month and decide you're a survivor main and then ######### about everything wrong with that side. Then you play killer because you decided it's easier then ######### about how it's so hard and survivors have it sooo easy. Just play both sides and shut the ######### up already. It's so god damn annoying coming here to see people post actual problems in the game and hoping they get resolved and instead it's nothing but the same 5 people bitching about the same "problems" over and over. At least reddit has some variety, even with their legion fanbase. I don't get it with you people at all. Just learn to accept the game as it is, stop bitching about every perk or how swf is soooo busted. Threads like these are whats ruining this community. Stop making them and enjoy the game for however much longer it's gonna last, which based on the community won't be for another 2 years.
I'm fine losing 1/100 games against a depip squad. 4 skilled swfs who execute very well deserve to win. The average r1 game is a breeze though. I dont focus on the 1% of games. I can bring up dice too who 4k'ed 1200 survivors in a row or Monto 4k'ing 100 games in a row. Or nurse mains who 4k every game. It goes both ways
We're going to need some recent examples here. All you're saying is that Killer mains are bullies. Whenever some disagrees, you just include them into the group of "bullies" without any reason. This thread just feels like an echo chamber to me.
Besides its funny to see them petition the devs to add 7 gens, and collecting fuses and trinkets for survivors while keeping Noed and removing swf all because "gens go too fast".
It says a lot about their skill level as players.
Because psychopaths.
That is all.
Isn't this exactly what the OP means?
Look at you just degrade this thread simply because you aren't fond of it.
Anyway, pardon my potential long post but...

When the forums were created last year, it was also during a really bad time for the community.. so-to-speak.
Instablinds were just a thing, pallet distribution was ridiculously survivor sided, some windows in some map causing old infinites, and a high... presence of Survivor toxicity.
So, prior to that, what you found on Steam Forums, and Reddit, were a hierarchy in which Survivors were placed above Killers. It was as distasteful as you're experiencing now, just the opposite way.
What I found was, most people who play "Killer" more than "Survivor" migrated to these forums and took dominance in the General Discussion area.
It's not prevalent throughout these forums, but specifically in General Discussions, it's expected to be mocked, silenced, and insulted if anything is but Killer sided. They still live in 2018, and forgot the tremendous and impactful changes that occurred during last year. We've never seen this game in a better state; yet something always hasn't been enough for some people, who are just Killer-biased.
Again, it's not as present in other sub-forums. General Discussion is typically the first place people go when they get onto forums - and you can imagine ignorance comes alongside.
I play 70/30 killer - Main Trapper. There are legit issues with killer vs well organized groups. There is a legit issue with some killers (Let trapper carry more traps). That said, this forum is filled with whiny killers, and legit concerns. It is also filled with whiny survivors, and legit concerns. I admit, the killers often outweigh the other, but it is what it is.
I find many killers and survivors don't play enough of the other side to understand. That is the issue.
