I think one of the most surprisingly venomous reactions I ever got personally was on “the other site” for destiny 2. I made some suggestions that basically were “allow people to hide t-bagging, here’s how it could work, and also allow people to disable emotes on their client.”
I’m an anti-fun Nazi cry baby evidently that just isn’t on their level and can’t take the heat. I just don’t get their amazing side game of getting up in my head. I have no business playing a “competitive” game, taunts and being rude are “just part of the game.” Their fun depends on other people being angry and any suggestion that their taunts might be disabled/the other person doesn’t see their taunting is going to ruin the game.
I was mostly posting that because a friend kept getting ticked every time I tried to get him into destiny PVP. So of course they attacked me as if “my friend” is imaginary.
The best part was when the mods removed the post for “not having enough to do with Destiny 2” because I bothered to make reference to I think it was what other games were doing or something like that.
Madness to me. Absolute madness.
You don’t deserve to be downvoted for that and I think the option you describe might be a cool idea, but I don’t think the goal of t-bagging is neccesarily to make you rage irl, I for one certainly don’t see it as rude unless it’s excessive, i see it as an invitation to a rivalry and would be sad to see that culture go away. It might be worth you or your friend to introspect on why that behaviour makes you feel the way it does.
There are multiple takes on this, ranging from “tea bagging is fine” to “tea bagging is sexual assault” - see https://gamerant.com/teabagging-sexual-assault-controversy-explained/ for a rundown. I fail to see how allowing people to opt out of it would destroy any form of culture.
TBH I think seeing it as not at all rude makes you the exception. It’s clearly intended to be rude, to put your opponent on tilt, and most gamers get that.
I guess I find it hard to believe that 90% of the people in my games are ragaholics, including the people I’m joking around with in all chat. That just seems implausible, but maybe the cultural difference is that I mostly play as a stack against people in a stack, which means they are guaranteed na certain amount of social skills.
You’re denying the moon landing happened although the moon landing definitely, demonstrably happened. You’re getting downvoted for peddling batshit.
I second this. Definitely offensive.
It’s offensive for having a belief?
On that other place before I left, some guy posted a pic of him and his brand new fiance just to tell the world he proposed to her. I replied with something like “You look like a really great couple, I hope you’re happy together” and the first response was a downvote. Made me laugh.
