I've been reading about how people are complaining that "t-bagging" is very offensive and how some females are claiming that it is sexual harassment.
No.
You are 100% wrong to think that it is sexual harassment. And you honestly embarrass yourself for thinking so.
Where have you been for the past 15 years? T-bagging is nothing new at all and has been a part of Bungie and the gaming community as a whole for quite a long time.
Like c'mon, Bungie [b]has an avatar on the forums of a spartan t-bagging a dead spartan.[/b]
Seriously though people? A virtual character's groin came in contact with your virtual character and you feel that you've been violated?
LOOOOOOOL
Now that you've read that I'm sure you can tell how absolutely stupid and pathetic that sounds. [b]R-A-P-E[/b] and physically touching someone in real life can be considered [b]sexual harassment[/b]. T-bagging in a video game is not.
And to give a comparison, if t-bagging is considered sexual harassment, then killing someone in the crucible would be second-degree murder, or meleeing someone can be considered assault.
Same exact logic.
However, such things as purposely sending sexual/obscene messages can arguably be taken as sexual harassment. So don't get confused there.
Hate to break your bubble you high and mighty morons.

3 RepliesIt's sexist that they assume that Spartan is male, they could've been easily female. How can you tell they're in a spartan suit.

Actually, no. I personally don't care, but words and gestures - even digitally - can also be considered sexual harassment. This, however, is if you follow the letter of the law and don't take the spirit of the law into account. The main thing is, if you do anything sexual in a game - tea bagging, clam slamming, etc - or verbal - yes even over a digital service - and someone asks you to stop because you are making them uncomfortable, then stop. Sexual harassment is subjective and different words and actions make different people uncomfortable. I know it's difficult for some people (especially on the internet), but basically, just don't be an a-hole. If someone asks you to stop, then stop. On the flip side, if someone is making you uncomfortable, then you have options available to you. First ask them to stop and tell them why. Then, you can mute and report them. Lastly, you can leave and find a new game. "Don't be an a-hole" also applies to you.

Sexual harassment only requires the person claiming to be harassed to feel like they are being violated in a sexual way. For example, a picture of a girl in a bikini is objectification of a female, this can cause people to feel bad about ones self and as such harasses them they are with in their right to claim as such. Sexual assault requires physical contact. Regardless of how the accused feels about the situation it is all on the accuser. You feel tbagging is not sexual harassment. By definition it is. Now I don't care either way. But to claim it is not is wrong. All it requires is someone to feel uncomfortable since the act is in fact sexual. Trust me I've had enough briefings on sexual harassment and assault.

77 RepliesI honestly question the abilty of a man (unless he has been r@ped) to understand what a woman who has been r@ped may feel in any given context that brings the memory to mind. T-bagging is a non-consensual act that is done to humiliate, disrepect and demonstrate your superiority over someone else who is powerless to react in the moment. So yeah, it can be likened to r@pe. T-bagging if done between friends can be silly fun. Done to strangers, it's immature and is probably a sign of real life frustrations being compensated for in a video game.

3 RepliesFemale. Radical feminist. T-bagging isn't sexual harassment. Sending them a message that says " that's what I want to do to you" is sexual harrasment. Case closed.

I thought people who said this were joking! I guess their just brain dead instead. I don't t-bag, it's stupid. So is being offended by it.

1 ReplyI assume whoever T-bags is a kid. If they aren't a kid then they have the mindset of a 6th grader. I don't go after them or get pissed, I just say "oh look another immature kid" and go on with my business.

the females claiming it is sexual harassment seem to think i know what gender they are magically through the game. they can t-bag too. call it v-bagging or something.

6 RepliesEdited by DigiOps: 11/15/2014 10:25:33 PMFor a very long time, the people of the world believed our Earth was flat. It might have been common practice for 15+ years, but that doesn't necessarily mean it should be a continued practice. Your comparisons to other crimes really aren't on the same level. Where have you been the last 10 years? Technology is quickly advancing and, with that, comes more ways to connect with other people. Now we have issues like cyber bullying, stalkers using facebook as a medium to keep tabs on their victims, and much much worse. Sexual harassment is also not limited to physical contact. If you're going to talk about what it is and isn't, be correct. I'm not saying t-bagging is or isn't okay, but the foundation for your argument is shaky.

If someone tbags me ill either laugh or report them depending on how i died

Eh, people get upset when they get teabagged and this is a way for them to denounce it... A really dumb way, but yeah. I hate it when I get taunted though, but that's the point of taunting... so I can't argue against it D:

On the micro scale? It's harmless. On the macro? I'd argue it's a part of the problem.

I started out being offended by teabagging and wondering why anyone would do it and now I just think it's hilarious. That's what we call character growth. Or Stockholming, possibly Stockholming
