    I know and more importantly I understand...it's a little like going to the store with my 70ish year old mom whom feels absolutely compelled to right the wrongs of those around her and it's not like she's does it quietly either (she gets all worked up about pretty much everything - god bless her and her passion :) )...

    there are billions and billions of people on the earth - all randomly "bumping" in to each other - kinda like electrons in an atom...it just doesn't matter - no matter how right you may think you are, that other person is going to head off in another direction thinking exactly the same...

    go kill - after a long day at work, I like to give folks a little lick from my lightening love stick >:)

    Wow... Just wow. I dont think I've ever seen so much anti-bagging sentiment. You all have problems. The least of which is thin skin. You do realize this is just a game? You know, for fun!? This is EASILY the most LAME community discussion I have ever had the displeasure of posting in. ITS A GAME, I swear... you bunch of grannys and wanna be psychologists rofl, get over yourselves.

    Yeah, we do have problems: With teabaggers. Teabaggers also have problems: With morality. Nothing good ever comes out of such immature behavior. Then again, 90% of gamers these days are high when they play so they don't care anyway. Hell, even these forums are used while high by many!

    By the way, the "it's a game" argument is invalid here. If it were a single-player game I'd say knock yourselves out. Also I pity you for defending teabagging. It is quite very so much sad, and you have my sympathies for what it's worth.

    my apologies...had no desire to gather this much animosity- was just hoping to better understand an embedded feature in the game (I can't imagine it going away anytime soon :) )

    personally I feel no strong desire to right all the wrongs in the world - there's just so so so many...

    and you know what - the next time I have to rezz someone more than once for standing too damn close to one of those outposts doors while there's oil pouring down on their heads and 10 enemies standing by the first flag, oh and let's not forget the cold fire ballista sitting by the other door - I'm gonna teabag and just walk away...

    okay, I can't really do that - but in my head I'll be thinking it >:)

    That doesn't matter. I think of many nasty things in my head when it comes to people I dislike or when I'm angry or frustrated. What matters is that I know where to draw the line : the "okay, I can't really do that" is the important part.

    I disagree with people who pretend that teabagging isn't sexually connoted anymore. That's untrue. People use it BECAUSE it is sexually connoted. Otherwise they would use a wider variety of emotes and seek uniqueness in expressing "victory" - just like they do with costumes. But teabagging is used because it is sexual.

    Anyone teabagging is basically telling the whole world "Sexually assaulting someone is the ultimate proof of domination and of being cool and great and powerful". That's what every teabagger is saying loud, everytime they teabag. Now think of how that inconscious message impacts general mentality and particularly younger souls.

    Besides, I find the number of people, in this thread and elsewhere, who openly state how pleasant it is for them to generate unpleasant feelings in other people, quite disturbing.

    By your logic anyone that plays gta is basically saying that killing someone is the ultimate proof of domination and of being cool, great and powerful. It. Is. A. Videogame.

    Of course I teabag., and so does everyone else. To say you don't especially that you never teabagged is to to expose yourself as full of crap.

    If you *** me off. Bags. If you *** my friends off, bags. If you kick my ass then I get revenge. Double bags.

    Bout the only time you don't get a nether sweat facial is if we had a long fight and clearly it could've gone either way. I respect a good player as much as the next guy.

    Teabagging is NOT part of ESO game. It's a player created/imported thing. Its meaning is real-life related. Also, killing and sexually assaulting are two different things.
    Let's not start a GTA debate here, but being killed is *not* considered humiliating. Getting sexually assaulted is, and that's the whole point of teabagging.

    Also, there is no video game in which the gameplay consists in sexually assaulting NPCs, let alone other players. I mean, I'm sure there are such games, but not "in the open", and I'm sure people who play them don't talk openly about it - unlike ESO or GTA. I have nothing against p*rn, but it should stay where it is, properly labeled as "p*rn". Teabagging belongs to p*rn and not to ESO.

    Speak for yourself.

    I got killed by a NB yesterday in very humiliating fashion (1 on 4). He then tea bagged me relentlessly which made me laugh.

    So yeah, you clearly have an anti sexual harassment agenda which I would fully support in REAL LIFE. Instead you're just being the fun police. Lighten up.

    Of course I speak for myself, never pretended otherwise.
    But I'm not the "fun police" - I'd be that if I were ZOS, but I'm not ZOS. I'm just giving my opinion. And I guess I'll never lighten up about teabagging, I don't even want to try. All I can do is to ignore it in the game, not give it any thought whatsoever. So that's what I do. I grew a very thick skin about it. It's kinda putting my head in the sand or wearing pink colored glasses since I sort of pretend it never happened, but that's the best I can do - since I do want to let it ruin the immense fun I have in PvP in this game :-)

    Well I feel that in the spirit of the topic I should share my view of proper tea bagging.

    Preparation is key, if you are going to do this properly you can not just rock up and teabag someone ... oh no no no no no!!!
    You need to give yourself at least 2 hours notice for a "good" tea bagging. The following tips are a must!
    • Select your victim well, you must either be faster than him (or her, this is not a sexist activity) or considerably bigger than said victim.
    • Exercise for at least an hour before hand, you may choose your poison here as long as your man berries get warm enough to sweat you are golden.
    • Feed the victim well before the "deed" - you want them sleepy and it will help if their bloated condition adds a 30% decrease to movement speed to aid in your escape and/or gloating process. It helps if you have someone else that can assist with this bit so you can do your exercise while the feeding is ongoing.
    • Put something engrossing (or very boring) on the TV and ensure they get comfy and wait for them to get lost in the content or drop off.
    • Position is everything, ensure you have a good clear exit and pick your moment widely.
    • Wear loose fitting clothes! Falling over with jeans leg cuffs is funny for any onlooker but defeats the entire purpose.

    I'm not going to share my life experiences but I do feel uncomfortable when it happens. However, I don't necessarily feel the person doing it is purposely trying to mimic anything. It's just a way to troll a player or be silly among friends imo. I just ignore it and be the bigger person :wink: :

    I've had a lot worse said to me in chat based on nothing other than my gender. Those are the real poo-heads.

    Whether they do it on purpose or not, consciously or not, is not relevant. They do it. They're responsible for doing it. They know exactly what it mimics. In case they didn't, we should explain. In every case, they're entirely responsible.

    Saying its immature is one thing. Making it out into some huge deal is just ridiculous. We have enough world problems without making it our lifes work to fight virtual teabagging. Unless all those world problems came from those pesky illuminati teabaggers!

    Wrong, most games don't have emotes or gestures but most games have a crouch button. If you view a video game character crouching up and down over your video game characters body as anything personal or sexually violating then that's your own mind making something comedic into something real.

    Assuming all people do is also being full of crap. Believe it or not, there ARE some morally upstanding and honorable players on the internet.
    Any argument to tea bagging being sexual harassment should instantly be countered with "you play a game where murder is ok".

    And since this topic is not being intervened as something against the rules and punishable by Zenimax, apparently sexual harassment is ok too.

    Fun at someone else's expense is not ok. He has every right to disapprove and you have NO right to tell him otherwise.

    No one requires everyone suddenly grab their pitchforks and torches and hunt down anyone doing any form of cyber bullying, trolling, and anything falling within those. Those that do wish to fight the fight though I applaud them but quite frankly the internet is far worse than the real world could ever be because everyone believes there is no consequence for their actions and can do as they please regardless. If the real world WAS like that... Well then I'd agree with this:

    The virtual world can be just as real as the real world to many people. Hence why I spoke of "mentality" previously in this thread. This is also why people should be more respective online, but we all know that will never happen because, as I pointed out, the virtual world is far worse than the real world these days...

    I miss the old days.

    Yeah, well, you're a d-bag.

    So anyone who disagrees with you is a d-bag now ?
    What is it now with teabagging ? Not only do you want the power and freedom to do it as you please (you have that already, since ZOS does nothing), but you also want everyone to approve ... ???
