Zenimax's opinion about T-bagging

OK just to be clear and definitively know.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teabagging
Wikipedia says :
Teabagging is a slang term for the sexual act of a man placing his *** in the mouth of his sexual partner for pleasure, or onto the face or head of another person, sometimes as a comedic device.

The name of the practice, when it is done in a repeated in-and-out motion, is derived from its passing resemblance to the dipping of a tea bag into a cup of hot water as a method of brewing tea. As a form of non-penetrative sex, it can be done for its own enjoyment or as foreplay. The practice may also be performed during sexual assault.


Social ridicule and harassment
Tea bagging is not always carried out consensually, such as when it is done as a practical joke, which, in some jurisdictions, is legally considered sexual assault or sexual battery. It has been practiced during hazing or bullying incidents with reports including groups holding down victims, while the perpetrator "shoved his *** in [the victim's] face" or puts his "crotch to his head".

Imitating the act by repeatedly crouching over a fallen enemy has become a popular taunt in multiplayer first person shooter video games and platform games, done to imply domination, humiliation, or as a teasing joke. Although considered to be bad sportsmanship, its use has become widespread in video game culture.

So, what is Zenimax's opinion ?
Authorized or not ? If not, what are the sanctions ?

    Lol are you serious?

    This is a game. These are pixels. It would be "sexual assault" if your character dropped his pants and literally did the action "against" your will.

    Go get a life.

    Officially, teabagging is against the TOS since it's considered harassment.
    Practically, it belong to a certain part of gaming culture - especially linked to PvP - and as such, ZOS doesn't enforce the TOS much on that aspect and just "let it be".

    im pretty ok with getting teabagged especially in the right situation. a lot of guilds and friends as well use it, who takes that too serious should really get a life.

    Get Stuff like this (but not this stuff)


    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    "I have too admit. People leading trade guilds in this game are quite stupid. Not stupid like fools, but stupid like leaders.
    They can only bla-bla and waste gold on feeding their ego. I am disappointed."

    Calm down, mate.
    1) I am just asking.
    2) We all know nobody suicide because of video games, ofc. <--- It's a sarcasm of course. it is not because we are on a video game that we must disrespect the other players.

    3) the fact that you are surprised to discover the true meaning of the Tbag is disturbing ...

    Hey mate!

    1) Super calm here! :)
    2) This guy thinks you wasted your time on the morality of tbagging because you are butt hurt for some apparent reason?
    3) That life of yours is still waiting to be found. But you better hurry. I hear it's getting bagged right now! :o

    So, can we take it you're a fan of it, then?

    Only time I think it is not exactly acceptable, but fairly inevitable, is when the victim of it has been persistently stalking and virtually harassing a person, or group, for a while.

    At that point, when they are finally killed, it is fairly inevitable that something like this will often happen, as emotions will be running high.

    If it happens during normal gameplay, however, when the victim has done nothing perceivably wrong, it is a pretty dishonorable and unpleasant thing to do to someone (albeit, via their char).

    Why on earth are there so many threads about this nonsense? Is this really shattering your ego's? Is ESO the game of generation snowflake.
    It's PvP, people are taunting, trash talking, emoting each other. It's a game, it's all fun and and games. Waaaay back in the days, people were playing games like Quake or Unreal, where even the bots would insult you like OMGWTF. Just grow up, relax, enjoy the game. Tea bagging is no sexual harrasment, it's the internet equivalent to saying "ha, gotcha, muppet!" Deal with it!
    (And I'm not even playing PvP...)

    And if there is no room upon the hill

    I'll see you on the dark side of the moon

    Lol I'm not a fan but i'm also not NOT a fan...

    If you are offended that a virtual character is literally CROUCHING UP AND DOWN on your deceased virtual character... well you should probably log off and install Barbies "Snowflake and happy time Palace" (on all platforms)
