Teabagging shouldn't bother me (but it does)

Polygon:
If you've played PvP in the last decade or more in anything from Halo to Call of Duty or even Destiny, you will have witnessed a very strange act. You die and your killer runs to your corpse — and then crouches, stands, crouches, stands, crouches and stands before running off to kill again.

The act in question is "teabagging." It's a taunting sign of disrespect, a way to rub salt in the wound by actually rubbing salty, virtual balls on your wounds. I, for one, find it downright infuriating.

Saw the title, then looked at the source...not surprised.

Hey the article is better than half the shit-written articles we get here on n4g, very good writer who really made it engaging for me the reader to read....

Seriously half the people on this site don't read articles and just look at pictures and titles.

You could be right about the article, but I'm never giving Polygon another click after branding all gamers as sexists and making fun of gamergate.

Everything bothers Polygon.

They don't even like Video games.

It only bothers me when I'm squad wiping and all of sudden someone wants to teabag when they FINALLY kill me. Its always the ones I've been demolishing the whole game.

I don't teabag in any game but Halo. It actually adds strategy because it makes the enemy team play worse cause there so focused on killing you rather than playing good.

Tebag is just too good in halo cause you dont instant respawn and your forced to look at the dude teabagging your dead body for like 5-7 seconds.

Halo 3 was super hilarious cause the body would flip out and move when you crouched on it and you could see someone teabagging someone a mile away because of that lol.

Yea. Making people mad is a great way to get a win. They come back all tense and make mistakes. I've never teabagged. But me and my friends beat some guys so bad that we made them report us.

That's how it seems to happen most of the time some kid who's been getting shat on the whole game wants some revenge and their only way of doing so is to teabag.

[Lennoxb63]

Yep, some people go as far as sending obnoxious messages after the game.

If you get angry from getting tbagged... well, sounds like a personal problem.

[Lennoxb63]

I don't get angry.

This kind of stuff is just one of the reasons I never buy competitive shooters. The communities are just toxic and filled with immature people. (not that I am in anyway claiming to be the paragon of maturity) It's bad enough to be a sore loser but it's just twice as bad to be a bad winner.

Anyways I prefer my competitive games to be in environments where people say things like good fight at the end of matches and appreciate the people on the other side for being there to share the fun.

I don't like it the teabag in every FPS. I'm fine with that, but if it too much i'm done.

[DLConspiracy]

I say bring it on. If you t-bag me. I will t-bag you back. Want to know what burns a little worse? Getting t-bagged by the guy who you just t-bagged.

I have experienced it enough to ignore it. If I spend the rest of the match chasing the person that tea bagged me, one of two things have occured: The tea bagger in question is just better than me and I end up being tea bagged multiple times, resulting in me quitting, or I end up not focusing on the games objective and my team loses.

Only immature losers do this stuff. Real gamers respect the game.
