    Yes its a game and all player have the right to have fun when playing at it, OP said it's an hyper sensitive and feel bad when someone humilate him (tea bagging is an humiliation) and just ask people to take care when they do that because not all people enjoy those things.

    And you "smart" people you don't even try to understand him and just say "i'll do want i want because i'm an egocentric jerk who don't care about others feelings".

    The OP kindly remind to everybody , there is REAL PEOPLE behind our virtual characters so we should acting in game with this is mind.

    At the risk of getting insulted further, I have to ask cause it has been annoying me for a long time now.

    What the F does OP mean here!?

    really is there no rule of conduct in this game? If there is and that I see something that I can use to report people like you, I'll go to Cyrodil, I'll get killed sooner or later, I'll get *** on soon enough, I'll do my best to keep my cool and to ask as politetly as I can to stop assaulting me/my character's corpse. If you insist on continuing, consider yourself reported.

    I think OP means "Original Poster". Some other forums use TC (Thread Creator).

    If you really feel that bad about people tea bagging you in a freaking VIDEO GAME you need to stop playing said game. Period. Why should I have to change how I play a VIDEO GAME because someone is overly sensitive?

    Okay. I quit playing. Oh... wait... I already did that.

    Man ZoS remove posts that are "too rude'' on the forums so freely... Yet they let some people who, indeed, act like total bullies AND are also suspects exploiters go completely free and unharmed. When you expose them, they rek you with ''bs naming and shaming''. When you report them in private, they defend those players, sometimes sending you videos of said suspected bullies/exploiters and drop words like : see clearly in this and that video that those guys are amazing players blah blah blah

    When you see them protect people like that, you can ONLY come to the conclusion that ZoS has zero integrity.

    How a sexual display of power became "fun" and a sign of respect, I will never know. Teabagging is one of the most immature behaviors I've ever witnessed in video games and while it doesn't make me run away crying, it heavily discourages me from interacting with that person ever again. It baffles me why people find humiliation funny.

    Think it's a kid thing (those under 40). Back when I started playing video games, the ghost-monsters didn't teabag Pacman after they killed him.

    At least not on screen. I've heard there were some pretty strange antics going on off screen. :smiley:

    The only fallacy here is your ability to comprehend what you are reading.

    OP clearly states in the closing paragraphs of his initial post that he believes there should be harsher punishments for teabagging, not simply letting the forums know that his feelings have been hurt.

    Also, ad hominem attacks are terrible way of proving your point and they expose the weakness of your argument.

    Also people use the sweep emote and also I have seen people doing the push up emote on dead bodies so it looks like they are having sex... So should they get rid of all emotes?

    How about if someone is bullying/harassing you via text chat. Should they get rid of text chat?

    I don't think emotes are the issue. If it bothers you and you feel like it is bullying then you should report it but in all honesty, and I may be wrong to think this but, some people just need to grow thicker skin.

    If you are worried about psychological affects of bullying in a video game where you kill players (who are real people) with swords, hammers, axes, and knives..... maybe you shouldn't be playing an M rated game. Just my 2 cents. I do not advocate bullying/harassing in any way.

    I have to agree. Yes, it's not good sportsmanship. No, I don't do it. Yes, it's silly. No, it's hardly bullying. Separate what you perceive as reality from the fantasy of an online game and characters inside of it (even controlled by other humans), ignore what people you think are rude, do, and have fun.

    Except that the only victim here is humor. Also I'm offended that tall people are better at basketball than I am. One even dunked on me once and stuck his tongue out. Because of this we should move all baskets to 5 feet high and ban tongues. Because meeeee!!!

    While we are at it, rich people should give all of us poor people money, because we don't have any thing and want to buy stuff, too.

    Waste of time to stop and teabag someone as it is, but hey, some people seem to enjoy it. There's no real way to escape it besides not PvPing anymore. I remember doing BGs in World of Warcraft and coming across people who macro /laugh emotes as a way to be obnoxious. All I can suggest is learning to let it roll off your back. :/

    Just remember. All those a******** that are teabagging you or taunting you or making fun of you in this game, you could beat the cr** out of in real life it they tried the same thing. That's why they do it online.

    Sure, I'm a sensitive guy and don't do PvP or MMO's for a reason (because the majority of players are immature little pr*** with entitled attitudes and superiority complexes IMO), but, come on guys. I have to agree that it is just a game.

    If you've ever been actually bullied in real life - you know, actually beaten up or abused, this stuff is all fluff. It's just words. Sure they hurt, but, they are just words. Move on. Maybe it's because I'm older that I learned a long time ago the whole "Sticks and Stones" thing. Cyber bullying is a terrible thing because you can't get away from it - okay, you can - turn off your dern devices! But it's nothing new. Many of us had the same thing going on, only in person, when we were young (and some of us even today).

    Just believe in yourself. Don't worry about what those other haters think of you. It takes a thick skin to survive in this world. People, on the whole, are not nice and do not have your best interests at heart, so ignore them. Just relish the ones you find that actually do!

    Well.. it could be because I'm just a really, really bad player that constantly screws up, but, still! It hurts my delicate sensibilities so you all have to stop it! NOW! Or I'm gonna cry....

    Ad hominems don't prove anything (they aren't even arguments) as they don't refute anything in the original argument.

    Whoosh.

    That's my point. He was attempting to discredit the intelligence of the people disagreeing with him to prove his point. It does not work that way because he side-stepped their argument entirely.

    Im 32 years old and have a great life with a great career and I am one of the first people to tea bag. Other people around my age have stated a very similar thing so its not age. Its about playing a game and having a little fun. The people complaining about stuff like this are the same people that complain about not receiving "participation awards" or trophies for last place.

    I consider tea bagging similar to joking with your buddies if your playing a sport of some kind. It's the same thing as trash talking. It can be light-hearted and in good fun.

    In a game when you're on the opposing faction, it's harder to trash talk. So maybe I'll pretend I'm putting my privates on your forehead. We can still be friends.
