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.

I don't do it, but I think it's hilarious, especially when they teabag my teammates in trials.
-
This....made me lol and the "upper management (wife ) gave me the look...
-
if you teabag me after getting a sick snipe or outplaying me or something, that's fine, you deserve it. when you teabag me after titan skating at me with juggernaut and then shotgunning me, however, that's cute. same applies to heavy kills, super kills, sticky kills, shoulder charge kills, storm grip kills, wombo combo kills, and firebolt kills.
-
Modificato da Quaddity: 4/28/2016 11:04:25 PMIt's the taunt that keeps on giving. I'd rather get another kill than waste time doing it.
-
Modificato da TheMachoKing: 4/28/2016 8:21:33 PMI teabag/potato sack in crucible because I suck at PVP, and if I kill you....well that makes you downright terrible.

Did you even play halo? That's where tea bagging became a thing. It's something that bungie supports. Yes there should be an etiquette to it but you can't make them not crouch over your dead body.
-
The real question is, does One Shot Ted Tbag? Personally I never Tbag, but I get Tbagged a lot, not quite sure why? Makes me laugh though.
-
I got teebagged, by a hunter of course, and I was using Fabian strategy....so this is what it feels like to not follow the meta. RIP
-
all i need to know here is.. whats the best emote available for laying a scrotum smack?
-
1 RispondiI could careless if you teabag I lean all the way back in the recliner 80% of the time the next game I'll lean forward and prepare for deej nutz
-
3 RisposteYea. Apparently I am getting banned. F@&$ everyone
-
I try not to teabag only because I feel like it's cost me a couple games with overzealous teammates I picked up for Trials. Had one chick in the group that was really angry for no apparent reason, felt she had to teabag everyone that died. Needless to say I think it sparked some nerd rage in a couple of our matches. We would win the first, and get repeatedly crushed during the next 5 or so rounds, getting bagged mercilessly after each defeat. On the other hand I fee like getting someone really tilted makes them charge at you like an idiot. Easy pickings.

Don't look up David Sirlin. He caused a major ruckus within Capcom. He thinks too highly of himself and is a complete scumbag in person. Pick better resources

Modificato da Murcee: 4/28/2016 5:50:25 PMI bag everyone. If they happen to be on my team the next game, I bag them instead of reviving them/until they respawn.

Although I only rarely teabag and have been tea aged only occasionally, I agree with your post. I recall a game in Memento that one Hunter in particular was being a douche. Red bar and laggy as Hell. He killed me on several occasions with the help of the lag. He jumped at me all invisible and I shot him in the sky and finished him with a melee (finally killed him). So in victory I teabagged him. Right at the end of the game he quick scopes me and kills me and proceeds to teabag me. I laughed and literally said well played.

1 RispondiI don't teabag. Not got time for it or the mongs that do it.
-
The new ghost target option just makes emote spamming better
-
I like T-Bags. Make some good tea
-
1 RispondiMeh, if it happens it happens. Whenever I get back at someone who gives me an up-close viewing of the family jewels I make sure that they know that I acknowledge them. A simple waving gesture or even a bow does good after returning the kill and it definitely leaves me with a better taste in my mouth if I deny them any more trade-offs. Making a tea-bagger have a less-than-fun match is all too satisfying.
-
It just makes me laugh on either end of it happening
-
5 RisposteOh cool, a thread defending tea bagging. Never seen one of these before.

Don't really t bag unless someone did it to me first or they are playing like a little bitch. Otherwise I just do the rude taunt because it's my new favorite emote. Monty Python ftw. It has pissed off quite a few people lol. Got some great hate mail.
-
I think it's hilarious getting teabagged by someone who did worse in the match than me, most likely over compensating for their inability, which is particularly sad coming from someone who is not very good in the Crucible.
