Taunting & Tea-bagging

Brilliant. Seriously well put.

I sing Pete with my students too… :slight_smile:

As in, if there were no bad players; as in, if everyone was a good player. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
I’ve basically just proven that because of your outlook on life, you’ll never be happy until you change it.

Well the fact is there isn’t 100% good players, there’s a lot of bad players and that isn’t gonna change. And no I won’t be happy playing KI online unless something changes, whether somehow they make it so you can’t tea bag and taunt or I change my mental state (which isn’t going to happen).

@JetstreamDan

No game has ever removed the ability to teabag specifically for preventing teabaggging, so no, like the change to your mental state, I don’t think that will ever happen.

Oh, and I find the amount of good players onine far outweighs the amount of bad players.

This is so sad… Not the fact that people teabag but the fact that it upsets you so much.

Why are you worried how fast someone can press the down button? I just find it silly that people taunt or tbag even when they lose. It makes no sense… I just do big Ultra’s when I win all the time every time.

@GalacticGeek
I know it isn’t gonna change and unfortunately the bad outweighs the good for me.

@DANECKBRE4KER
Why? Everyone has a different mentality, some people can brush it off and some (like myself) can’t.

@SullenMosquito
Because it irritates me to be disrespected like that and unfortunately I’m not that good so I get beaten by these bad players a lot and they taunt and tea bag me more.

You need to work on your self-esteem.

It’s only disrespectful if you’re worried about a 5 year old across the country holding a controller… It’s like those who in person can’t talk crap period, but with a keyboard the sky’s the limit.

@DANECKBRE4KER
Not everyone can just “work on their self-esteem”

@SullenMosquito
I don’t know if I’d say worried, just irritated when I’m disrespected.

That’s just a state of mind though, if you are disrespected by a child mashing the down button on a controller, I’d hate to see your response when someone actually calls you out in public.

I look at it as something that is irrelevant. You already know morons do it, but does pressing down with a character in rapid succession really mean anything? No, in reality it means nothing. In your mind it does, why? I don’t know but, you need to figure out within yourself why it bothers you, and try and change it. It’s all in how you view it. It offends you, and only you know why, and only you can work on making it not bother you.

So as your response to dancebreaker, (Not everyone can just “work on their self-esteem”) yes they can, and you just have to be willing to put in the effort.

So basically you’re telling me to go get therapy.

Therapy is bogus. I’m telling you that the only one who can fix it is you, not get therapy. Read into yourself. I can already tell a bit about your personality just by how you respond. No I’m not a therapist, but reading people isn’t hard when you know what to look for.

Respect is something that means a lot to you, that much I already know, which is why disrespect bothers you so much. Online in a video game is a fictitious world, just remember that the one on the other end of the controller is just high and mighty because there is no physical opposition, only mental. Most people online are insane and only seek attention, good or bad. So the more reaction they get from you, the more they will do what irks you. There are respectful players, and disrespectful players. I don’t much care for ranked because there are a lot of cocky people, and I’ve heard how some people block people to increase their chances of a high rank which makes it not worth playing for me. So I’ve looked for respectful players on the Forums and Facebook Fan Page so I can have lobbies with awesome people and we enjoy the game and each other. Maybe that would be an option you could do?

Taunting is fine being in the game, it’s still a little disrespectful though and I won’t be doing it.

Teabagging is completely childish, and I’d lose all respect for someone that did it. Not just if it happened to me, but any match I might be spectating. I don’t give two craps how good you are. I have more respect for a classy winner.

Taunts are fine unless you are doing them repeatedly one after the other, which I’ve seen people do at the end of a match occasionally - it’s not interaction at that point, just aggression.

Tbags are never OK - though if I’m playing a series against someone who decides to do that to me, I do tend to respond in kind.

Generally, I taunt a single time after taking each lifebar (sometimes when standing up after losing my own, as well) and I don’t see it as any kind of aggression when an opponent does the same, simply an acknowledgement of the round ending.

I think that taunting sometimes depending on the situation is ok. Spinal laughing or wulf howling I usually don’t find any problem with that. Some people just taunt after every round or victory, depending on the situation will I even consider getting salty. T-Bagging on the other hand I think if done with friends who understand each other, is fine because it’s a close knit thing. Though doing it online to others you don’t know especially during ranked, is a show of bad sportsmanship. It’s basically saying, I just F’d you, take that you loser. How that is funny is beyond me.

Then you don’t understand psychology and that some people can’t just change their state of mind which is why they need medications such as anti-depressants and/or go to therapy. Mental issues come from chemical imbalances in the brain by the way.

prepare yo’face

Rash just has the worse teabag, its very similar to the actual act of “teabaging”. Rash’s trademark taunt is also pelvic thrusts, he’s gonna get pull of salt with that. lol

but: honestly I rarely teabag.(its just weird)

Not all mental issues come from chemical imbalances. Yours is a response to someone else’s actions. So a chemical imbalance is a non issue here, it’s your perception of respect and what you think/feel it means.
