So like, there's this thing that creeps up in the various game specific FPS communities in regard to Tea Bagging, that is crouching repeatedly over a downed opponent while they are likely watching it on their respawn screen. The action is a taunt resembling a more expressive form of... well you know.
So some players seems to take this, and other such taunting whether codified (actually animated taunts and emotes) or not, as a disrepectful and even bannable action. The psychology at play here is a mix of post-defeat angst (often known as 'Salt'), and presumed etiquette derived from what I have no choice but to link to Scrub mentality (look up David Sirlin for more on that subject).
As somebody only occasionally does this, but has no regrets doing so, I'm going to offer some advice to those who are deeply offended by the notoriously popular, long lasting manual taunt.
- Teabagging is essentially repeatedly inputting the crouch command over your avatar's corpse. Unless you wish for devs to add 'cooldown' to the mechanic, or remove crouching entirely, you will never remove the ability to do so in games that have crouch. Ever. Know this.
- As such, what you are offended by is a spammed player action, which only has power you give it by actually voicing your grievances on a forum. Doing this made teabagging what it is. Know this.
- I, and others, are more likely to teabag a kill we considered particularly satisfying (a camping sniper, a streaking player, someone who was basically a nuisance). So in a bizarre way this should taken as an honor. Especially when...
- Teabagging costs us and the team tactical movement and leaves us open to attack. I have killed a player while tea bagging his teammate, and was a glorious Halo 3 moment for me, but this is an exception. Teabagging is one player wasting time taunting another player who may not even be looking at the screen.
- We are teabagging in games that likely have death indicator waypoints on screen. A habitual teabagger should not enjoy so much crouch time.
- [b]Stop taking any in-game action this seriously, outside of the disadvantages teabagging makes for a player.[/b]
- The real issue with your feelings on TBing is that you were defeated. The best way to avoid being TB'd is to not die. But everyone gets fragged eventually, so your best bet is to roll with it.
- The exact point is disrespect. Accusing it of its key purpose is absurd. You're saying the problem with fire is it's hot.
- Reporting players for teabagging is a waste of support resources. Don't be that guy or girl. Pressing a button over and over will never be considered actual abuse, even in this current environment.
- Teabagging the last person who teabagged you is delicious. Do it. Or not. Whatever
- No; somebody teabagging tells you nothing about their personality, financial status, living status, race, gender, politics, or skill level. Although at the very least you know he or she can kill you for a teabag in the first place. That's it, tho. Stop with the salty analysis.
- It's just a game. Get gud.
EDIT:
People who teabag are very likely immune to insults. Trying to bring up my KD means less than nothing to me. You only project how sensitive you are attempting so. And in any case look up my YouTube vids. I'm happy with my skillset. Or not. Whatever. It's a game.

9 RepliesEdited by ShaggyInu: 4/28/2016 4:50:46 AMTeabagging shouldn't be banned. But all of your verbosity can't change the fact that it's poor sportsmanship. There's nothing wrong with celebrating a good play with a dance or some such. But it shows lack of honor to disrespect your fallen opponent. You and others of your ilk like to say "don't take it so seriously". But like any game, people get passionate in the heat of a tough contest. All of us have been salty at one time or another. Classy players control their passions. When they shoot that guy out of his super, they reload and move on. They don't need to bounce like monkeys. Both the winner and the loser know what happened. But the smart guardian knows that he'll get shot out of his super sometimes too, and he doesn't pour unnecessary salt into the wound.

1 ReplyI agree with you except for the "camping sniper" part. I would prefer a sniper to sit in one location (which is what a sniper should do) instead of running around the map trying to quick scope/trick shot

11 RepliesTeabag me in Trials and you won't win another round. I don't know what it is, but we don't lose after being disrespected. Some say teabagging is psychological warfare. They aren't wrong, but it works both ways.

7 RepliesYou are wrong...at least partially. People who dislike Tbagging aren't always "mad at getting rekt". That's a childish response on a childish behavior. It's not about disrespect as much as it is RESPECT. If I get skillfully out played I have much respect for that player. I don't want to get beat, and will try not to repeat the mistake that lead to it. As soon as you run over like a hormone driven little meat beater and start tbagging you lose what respect you may have earned. There's a reason they don't allow sports professionals to run around tbagging and taunting other players. Have some dignity, and learn to win graciously.
