Performing a sexually suggestive action on another player without their consent is not acceptable no matter what the rating of the game is.

Teabagging is just crouching up and down. If you get offended by that, don't play multiplayer games with PVP.
The issue is toxic whispers and mass reporting. Lets get that straight.
I mean, with the OP, they don't need to teabag someone who doesn't want them to. Whoever they are discussing is obviously a known quantity. So, just don't teabag them. If they teabag you after being asked to stop, report them
That is the thing. It was dumb the day they activated this policy and its still dumb now. You don't ask someone to stop teabagging you, you just ignore it all together. You are begging to be made fun of by doing this.
Its like if you are in a room with a bunch of vets and then you giggle and say oh sorry I am ticklish. You just asked for a death wish even though you don't wish it.
Nah. It takes two to play. Respect that someone has declined and leave them alone.

Look up the original definition of teabagging. It is sexually explicit as everyone here well knows.
But the definition that you posted also states that it is done to humiliate one's opponent. That alone is unacceptable.

You are missing the point entirely. Crouching up and down on a foe they have crushed will never stop. If you ask them to stop, they will do it more.

And if they keep doing it, they'll end up banned. And that will be their own fault because they chose to harass someone rather than keep it in good fun.
Good fun requires both people to be having fun. If only one person is having fun, that's not banter. It is mockery and harassment. And harassment, justifiably, is against the TOS.

PvPing does not include an expectation of having a sexually suggestive gesture performed over a player's body.

All over teabagging and not toxic whispers. Mind blowing.
I don't care if its against TOS, ZOS is wrong. They should never have pandered to cry babies.
I don't care if a player doesn't like teabagging in a PVP game, they're wrong. They should never touch a PVP game because they will get teabagged and the report will do nothing.

PvPing does include the expectation there will be teabagging.

No it doesn't. I've played several MMOs and I PvP'd in all of them (not as much in ESO though because I don't enjoy Cyrodiil) and I never heard of this practice until I came here.
Some players may expect it and think it's just a part of PvPing, but there are many that find it offensive. That is why there have been so many discussions on the subject.
I'm honestly disturbed that this is being allowed at all because of it's implications.
SilverBride wrote: »I don't care if teabagging has been in other games, although I've never seen it, or represented on TV. That doesn't make it any less of a lewd gesture.
I find it immature and offensive and it is causing distress for many players. Players that continue to do this have no argument if they are banned for it.
spartaxoxo wrote: »That people aren't using it to be lewd is what makes not a lewd gesture.
SilverBride wrote: »spartaxoxo wrote: »That people aren't using it to be lewd is what makes not a lewd gesture.
The gesture itself does represent a lewd act regardless of what the player is using it for... which, by the way, is to humiliate and taunt the fallen player.
If someone was to expose themself on the street to another person they would be arrested. Claiming that they didn't mean for it to be seen as lewd won't keep them out of jail because regardless of intent the act was lewd.
As another poster suggested they could make a no crouch zone around dead bodies. Problem solved.

Some things you literally have to learn to deal with if you expect to function in society.

I do deal with them. Turning our backs on an issue is not dealing with it. I believe solutions to prevent bad behaviors should be sought out. And I function quite fine in society.
The only person here complaining and trying to force something about this is you.

Wrong, and repeating endlessly this 'idea' won't make it a good one.
SilverBride wrote: »The only person here complaining and trying to force something about this is you.
As I asked for clarification on earlier, it is often difficult for a player to request that another player not teabag them because of them being in a different alliance, or being in offline status, or even having a very difficult name to spell with characters the player may not have on their keyboard. So what is a player supposed to do then?

But the definition that you posted also states that it is done to humiliate one's opponent. That alone is unacceptable.
Just because two things share the same name, it doesn't mean they are the same thing. The namesake is explicit, the online gesture usually isn't. That's why it has a separate definition in the dictionary.
It also says it's just done to celebrate victory, and other sites show a greater variety of uses such as tactics or fun. Depends on the context which is meant.

ZOS does explain that in the quote I linked earlier.
You can say it in general chat if the person has their whispers turned off. You just tell them to stop and if they don't you can report them.
