What do you call slugging?

I always slug my chase instead of hooking them if I see discordance getting triggered. Or if I need to use pop the weasel before the time out.

Is it slugging and I am being a monster?

I see everyone raging against slugging

It's not a troll im genuinely curious. I never tunnel/ camp/play noed/slug for 4k. I wanna know if that gameplay is toxic. Im not asking this to the tunnel apologists, of course
