Bagging and bad manners

Trash talk is totally fine as long as it stays within the game. Making fun of someone about a video game is different than making fun of someone over a video game. “Look at the trash player camping with a fusion because he can’t hit his shots” is very different from telling someone to do something bad to themselves or being racist or whatever they decide to say. Long story short, if you take bagging and game specific insults too seriously then turn of your notis and stick to PVE. I’ve seen a few people want bans for tbagging and it’s kinda crazy. If you’re that crushed over someone calling you bad at a video game to the point where it’s effecting your mental health you should probably stay away from PvP games. Bullying someone over real life stuff while playing a game is not the same as tbagging or calling someone trash at a game, let’s not ban people for stupid stuff. I mean like there is a too far for everything but I haven’t seen any horrible toxicity in awhile. Xbox has a pretty good system for chat protection, I don’t know why people are this upset about banter about a virtual activity that will hold 0 value the second you stop playing it.

  • It's gaming culture, in the early days of shooter games it was not called bagging, and let's be clear many players do not act like it's bagging. In games that have open audio players would make it clear that they were graping your corpse. In old Cod days it was unfortunate but true where players would surround your dead body and laugh while they said they were gang graping your dead body. I've played games where we had female players, and the gamers got extremely explicit and disturbingly graphic with their comments about what they were doing. Many times it got extremely personal and really gross and a lot of times the players got frustrated and quit. Just consider, you can call it Tagging or celebratory crouching, but let's be clear, many many players refer to it in a different way and it's pretty toxic for gaming culture. Should players be banned for it, no.. But, when players surround a female characters corps and Bob up and down on it i-blam!-, it is pretty gross, and I can understand why people get upset about it.
