• As a very new killer main, I was starting to get frustrated with how often I was getting BM from survivors. I was regularly getting stomped into the ground by players who were far more skilled than me but still felt it necessary to pour some salt in the wound by tbagging at every pallet and at the gates as well as spamming their flashlights at every opportunity. What made this even more frustrating is that I try really hard not to play killer in a scummy way. I avoid camping the hook, I try really hard not to do anything that could be construed as tunneling, I make sure to never go after someone who just got off the hook, etc. I want my survs to have fun because I know (from occasionally playing survivor myself) just how annoying those things can be. So when the effort is repaid with a bunch of BM and taunting, it sucks. And I'm sure many people would (and will) say 'you shouldn't play the game if you're going to be that sensitive'-- which is why I was on the verge of just quitting the game altogether. However, I recently encountered a group of survivors who definitely outplayed me, but in EGC one of them went up to a hook right at the door and let me 3 hook him (another player kept taking him down and he just kept going right back and standing in front of the hook, pointing at it), and then the one who was taking him off the hook left their item at the gate. And I was seriously so moved by those gestures. That sort of kindness can go a long way, and it's why I continue playing. On the flipside, I was playing against a Pyramid Head who kept catching me and another survivor (both of us were clearly new players) and taking us over to the gens and smacking the gen like 'finish it.' We finally understood after a couple of times, finished the gens, and PM literally escorted us to the gate. Me and the other survivor got mega points for that match. Those wholesome interactions are so cool. It's why, as a pig main, if someone is nice and wants to boop the shnoot, I'll let them do it and go on their way. I hope to pay those interactions forward as I improve at the game. Anyway, tl;dr can confirm that not all survivors and/or killers are toxic. And if you're one of the awesome people who does this sort of thing on either side, just know that those gestures can have a really positive effect and combat a lot of the negativity in the community <3

• As a killer piglet main, I would really love to not get teased and goaded by experienced survivors who I clearly have no business going up against, but get thrown in with anyway because the ranks reset. I don't want them to take it easy on me or give me any 'freebies'-- if they're better players, they're better players and I accept that. But if I'm already getting my curly tail handed to me, it would be nice not to get teabagged and deliberately goaded on top of it. That kind of stuff is the epitome of childishness. Just play the game. Like, if you made it to the gate, just gtfo, don't sit there and taunt me in a spot where you know I can't get you even if I did manage to get a hit in. I guess what I'm saying is that all I want from survivors is to be gracious winners. That's literally all I would ask for. Also, I just played a game with a Meg who acted like she was going to do like my name says and boop the shnoot, but when I went to let her, she shined a flashlight in my eyes (this was at the gate and she was standing at the aforementioned spot, so that even if I had tried to attack, she'd have been safe). I'm not sure I will ever trust again 😥😆🐷
